[City Hall]
You weren't here, so I figured you were gone.
Obviously not, since I'm here.
Thank you for helping her.
Why are you thankful? Are you her guardian or what?
I bought it, so wear it if you want.
Wait.
I have to tell you something.
Let's save it for later.
Later when? I have to go out on the trail in the morning.
Can I modify those pledges?
They're a bit unrealistic.
They're supposed to be that way.
You say them to get elected.
You have nothing else to offer anyway.
Just do as I say.
But this is bad.
Sure, I just need 15% to get the fee back, but this is...
What was that?
- Sorry? - What did you just say?
All you need is 15% to get the fee back?
Is that why you're running?
Is that the only reason?
So I'm working for someone who just wants her money back?
Director Lee...
Didn't you know about this from the start?
I'm not sure about other things
but I thought you were closer to me.
I guess that's not it, either.
You're not only deceiving me, but all those people, too.
Director, wait...
Let go. I have to apologize.
Dressed like that?
Listen to me carefully.
Haven't you figured out who you're against?
Eggs, tomato, potato, corn...
Do you need more things thrown at you?
Work with me from now on.
Soo In and I will be on it starting tomorrow.
Get some sleep for today.
Don't think about anything.
[Wonder Woman Shin Mi Rae] [In Ju Depends on You]
Episode 11
Go, Shin Mi Rae!
Hello, everyone.
I'm number five, Shin Mi Rae, running as an independent.
I didn't expect such a large crowd...
In Ju has the worst economy in the country.
Therefore...
In order to revitalize our economy...
Everyone, do you know what coffee and politics have in common?
As you know, I served two mayors over the last seven years.
And I've made countless cups of coffee.
From that, I learned what coffee and politics have in common.
Once you're addicted, it's difficult to quit.
The deeper you go, they're both hard on your wallet and body.
Fancy packaging often trumps the content.
The more foam, the less coffee there is.
What the majority likes isn't always the best.
My original campaign pledges were like fancy coffee.
But I'm not sure if I can keep them.
So, I'll state the pledges I can keep.
If I become the mayor, I won't do any unnecessary road constructions.
I won't stash away secret funds.
I won't spend taxpayer money on myself.
I won't accept any bribes.
I won't partake in improprieties.
I won't do any of the things I mentioned.
What was that?
A kindergarten commencement speech?
You can't even do as you're told.
You don't want to win?
I wasn't trying to win votes.
Those were the only things I could do.
Did somebody tell you to do it?
Once you're elected the pledges go out the window.
You have to appeal to the construction industry.
And to the tourism industry.
Mention education to appeal to the parents.
I set everything up. Why did you ruin it?
How can I get through to that brain of yours?
You don't need to explain anymore.
It's not like something's going to happen, if you're not there.
You're fired.
You're no longer the campaign chairman.
I'll do things properly and live with the results.
The clueless ones always care about the means.
The end justifies the means.
You can't always live according to the principles!
Thanks for the advice.
But I won't make any more promises I can't keep.
So stop disrespecting me.
You're forcing my hand!
I hate politicians who wear their hearts on their sleeves.
Politics is about brains, power, and money.
If you don't have the brains, then start learning.
If you don't have money or power, find a person who has some.
Just beat it!
I don't want any part of that.
Aren't you so righteous and special?
Who's the one that's conning the whole city to get her 10 grand back?
And you're lecturing me?
What are you doing home?
- And what's all this? - What are you doing home so early?
I have to give a speech so I'm here to change clothes.
I can't give a speech to the working class in a designer's dress.
But what is all of this?
You're doing this for that chick!
It's actually for my chick. I was going to bring it to you.
Oh...
I'll take it with me after I change.
But do you have time to make sushi rolls now?
Oh, you must've quit, because of Mi Rae's accident!
Accident?
Everyone's heard about her speech today.
I heard it was a mess.
What do you mean?
You weren't there?
I don't know the details...
She just ignored her pledges.
And she made a big deal about making coffee for seven years.
Something about addiction, and not doing any construction.
Everyone was befuddled.
Joh Guk and Mi Rae got into a fight...
They're all made, so you just have to slice them up.
Where are you going?
It's too late!
I'm so nervous about the speech...
Of the people...
By the people...
For the people...
Politics of the people, by the people, for the people...
Anyone can say it.
I've always worked on behalf of the people.
That's why I'm here.
I can't stand filth.
So would I let you people live in filth?
Intelligent people!
The things that make you smile, bring happiness, and wealth.
Who can make that happen?
Only candidate number one, Min Yoo Gam can!
I stand before you all and proclaim aloud with confidence!
I'm number one candidate Min Yoo Gam.
Thank you.
- You're working hard. - Thank you.
What are you doing?
Are you spying on us?
I was just curious about what others were saying.
You were good.
I would've been better without you.
You just had to show up...
Don't steal the people phrase. It's mine.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
I'm sorry, I missed your fine speech.
Director...
What happened with the deputy mayor?
I fired him...
Good.
You're wearing that long face because you're thrilled he's gone.
And you're cleaning up at other people's rallies.
Bring him back.
It's not a lover's quarrel, is it?
We need that jerk.
Just use him.
Once you're elected, drop him like a bad habit.
He's just a fancy campaign pledge.
But it can perk up people's ears.
I didn't get to tell him we spoke on the phone.
I can't talk to him right now.
I'm sorry to put you on the spot.
I just hope you didn't come here for nothing.
Go on. It's not like he'll hit you.
If he does, scream.
And I'll go in there...
and take the beating instead.
Thank you.
I told you to go first.
I was just afraid...
The words were so overwhelming...
It was because I was scared...
So...
So what?
So...
Stay by my side.
If I can't win, I want to lose in style.
- Help me lose in style... - Leave.
I don't need a candidate who thinks about losing even before putting up a fight.
So leave.
Who's a better candidate?
What are you so afraid of?
What happened to that girl who showed up in a bathing suit?
And the girl who protested in front of city hall?
I don't have dreams.
Don't give me bogus pledges but dreams.
Realistic pledges I can dream of achieving in a two year term.
Will you only live for two years and then die?
Why only think about two years?
Why not four years and four more years after that?
Can't you look further and have bigger dreams?
Can't the bogus pledges make you mayor for 10 years?
I'm finished, so you can go.
Fine, I'll give it shot.
I just got my strength back.
But it's two years for now, so work with me.
I'll delete and add what I want.
I heard you. You can go.
Let's go together.
I can't. The horse I just bet on came in first place.
What?
Really?
What number?
[No. Five]
So I just have to run hard like that?
Haven't you been listening?
Everybody can run hard.
Just win first place. Ends justify the means.
Man, the things they do...
This number five sure looks familiar.
The girl who helped us out last time.
Shin Mi Rae.
She made it this big?
Should I vote for her?
As the village chief, I'm to stay neutral.
I can't tell you to vote for her, but...
What are you doing?
It's just between us.
Don't think and just vote for candidate number five.
Don't forget.
Aren't we going to eat?
I followed you because you said you were buying.
I'm neutral.
Go first.
I'll make up for my speech with handshakes.
Keep them to three seconds.
- What? - When you shake men's hands.
And if I lose will you take responsibility?
My looks are all I have.
You're candidate number five, right?
I listened to your speech about coffee and politics.
It was awesome, my school friends loved it.
Really?
Thank you.
Remember candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
We saw your protest, too.
Our professor was impressed.
You're the best.
Thank you.
You're going to vote, right? You're not going away, right?
Of course.
We may look good, but we aren't superficial.
Good luck.
I can relate to you.
One second, two seconds, three...
Yeah, it's me.
I'll be at the headquarters.
What?
What do you mean?
Have you seen the papers?
Just by looking at the paper you can tell.
Ms. Shin not only has a bad credit history
but she frequents a hotel with a man.
She takes blank checks for her campaign.
And why should we entrust her with taxpayer money?
Sure, a man and a woman can go to a hotel or motel.
However...
Doesn't education matter?
She never graduated kindergarten, yet she claims that she did.
So she doesn't know a thing about education.
How can she fix our education system?
This shows that Shin Mi Rae is no different than Goh Boo Sil!
Goh is just passing the baton to his crony!
Is that really true?
That she was at the hotel with the deputy mayor?
Yes.
They'll practically living together.
[Shin Seen Overnight at a Hotel With a Man]
No, it's not like that.
Why would I go to a hotel with Mi Rae?
It wasn't me. It was nobody.
It's spread like wildfire.
This was planned.
Let's go back to the headquarters for today...
I might just quit...
People are so cruel...
I don't want to do it...
I just...
Aren't you going to get a hold of yourself? What are you doing in front of the voters?
Fine, be naive and change your speeches.
But do not be irresponsible.
- But... - No buts!
Who are you to just run off?
Can't you see all those people working so hard for you?
Can't you see them hanging their hopes on your every word?
Even if everyone points their finger
even if one person supports you, stick it out!
You represent that person's hope!
Leave the rest to me, and call it a day.
What are you going to do?
But we need to take legal measures...
Why take legal measures? What will law do?
I'll handle it.
Prepare for the debate with Director Lee.
It's your last chance.
Go on.
The reason you push me...
The reason I can't stop...
The reason I have to stick it out...
It's not for your next career move, is it?
I want to believe it's not all for that.
It's me. Tell Ahn Ji Sung I want to meet with him.
Yes, today.
We meet again. Thank you for coming, sir.
Did you want to see me as the ex-deputy mayor?
Or Shin's campaign chairman? I was curious...
So I came out.
I'm glad you came, sir.
Allow me to get to the heart of the matter.
This is between two people.
Victory Party candidate or the Independent candidate.
That's your opinion.
I suppose that you could win, sir.
But you'll be stepping into a mess.
Why not wait two years, and start with a clean slate...
Get to the point.
I was hoping to resolve this like gentlemen.
You really caught my attention at the golf course.
So I looked into it and you paid for one of your grad students to study abroad.
Why were you so generous?
To help your pupils?
To cover up after plagiarizing his thesis to get a research grant?
Listen, about that...
What is it that you want?
Why didn't you say so in the first place?
You could've saved yourself some face.
So Manifestos must be...
Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and on a timetable...
Pledges must be detailed, quantifiable, and achievable.
And...
If it's too much, do you a need break?
What?
Sorry.
So manifestos should be specific...
Big news!
Big News!
Justice Party people are so upset right now.
Ahn Ji Sung is going to announce his withdrawal.
Withdrawal? Why?
As a man of intelligence and experience
as a fellow politician
I cannot refrain from expressing shame at the turn of recent events.
I can no longer let my fellow candidate Shin Mi Rae
be victimized any further.
I, Ahn Ji Sung, am not only withdrawing my candidacy
but also throwing my full support behind Shin Mi Rae!
Aren't you worried?
What if...
What if the Central Party folks find out?
True, what do I tell them?
So this must be your handiwork?
You people leave me no choice but to go negative.
At least, you keep it simple.
Is that so?
Think the folks at Justice Party think it's so simple?
Yet you took such a big risk.
All to help out Shin Mi Rae?
Women always get in the way of a man's career.
Right?
See you at the debate.
You're best at shutting up your opponents, dad.
Just don't be nervous.
This TV debate will be the dagger.
Do you really think I'll win?
Dad, look who you're up against.
Park Jun Jin and Shin Mi Rae.
What are you afraid of? In Ju is our Victory Party's territory.
And thankfully, young people don't vote.
Even with the votes from last year, we'll knock them out.
I've hired people to work on the internet too, so you don't need to worry.
What?
I used to give your mother a lot of grief.
But I became a changed man after you were born.
Right, and that's why Mom gives you a hard time.
You were my dream, my world...
I was bankrupt, yet I had no fear.
That's what children mean to parents.
Dad...
I'm so nervous about going on TV.
But I'll muster up the courage.
What are you doing? It's time.
The deputy mayor will meet us at the debate.
I'm all ready as well.
You'll probably get attacked the most.
They think of you as the easiest target.
I know.
And if you're caught off guard?
Use humor and redirect the question.
Good, let's go.
By the way...
Why is Ahn Ji Sung supporting me all of a sudden?
He was either moved by you, or he wanted to leave with dignity.
Or he'll run later.
Don't worry about it too much.
Politics can be more fickle than the weather.
I'm so grateful, I wasn't expecting it...
How do I look?
Do you think I'm telegenic enough?
Your face is something else.
What?
It's glowing.
Let's go.
Okay.
Cheers.
Yes, cheers!
Now onto the next topic.
Tell us how you will revitalize the local economy.
I will host an international exposition
and turn In Ju into a global tourist attraction.
I will host a world expo and turn In Ju into a world class city.
Excuse me, but...
Isn't that the same thing?
You should've studied...
He said, 'exposition', I said, 'expo.'
I'll not only bring in the top corporations
but I'll build an affiliate to Harvard University!
Why do you keep copying my pledges? That's mine.
Hey, you don't own them...
Sorry to interrupt...
I'm all for bringing in corporations and building universities.
But are these things really feasible?
All the former mayors said they would, too...
After all, it's only a two year term.
Perhaps, I'm just ignorant...
And ignorance is no bliss.
Nothing's impossible in my book.
The same here.
So Ms. Shin, what do you suggest?
Well...
My pledge is to not do things.
I'm sorry, go on.
I have a question, too.
Candidate Shin Mi Rae, you're single, right?
How can a single woman talk about educating our children?
How can you understand people's struggle to buy a home?
How can you understand how housewives make ends meet?
Isn't that right, everyone?
Well, do you how much a bundle of radishes cost?
Do you know what a kilo of potatoes costs?
A bundle of radishes costs $1.50, and a kilo of potatoes costs $3.
I may not know much.
But thanks to my mother who's been selling
herrings all her life I do know the cost of living.
As for education?
My friend has three children.
She can't even buy a new wardrobe.
As for housing?
Have either of you saved up years for a home?
Your monthly meal budget is more than most people's savings.
What did you do back in the day?
Pardon?
I was fighting for democracy before you were born.
Have you gone through that?
Please sit down, Mr. Park.
This debate is getting testy.
But it's simple.
Money?
I'll help you make it.
I'll double the pay for city employees.
Bring your resumes.
Anyone can say things.
Who's going to solve the low birth rate issues?
More than anything, I can solve the low birth rate issues.
You'll get one grand in cash for every child.
We'll pay for the christening.
Persuade couples to have a child, and you'll get paid for that...
What else?
We're short on time
so let's take an audience member's question.
The gentleman in the front row.
I teach high school social studies.
Watching this debate, I would like to give a question that fits the candidate.
Mr. Park, what is the first article of our constitution?
Please...
That Korea is a democracy.
You must reside in another country.
The first article...
I know it. Sure.
But knowing that doesn't make...
You didn't know the price of potatoes either.
Have a seat.
Each candidate will get a one minute closing statement.
What good is it to talk a lot?
Vote for me, who made something out of nothing!
You won't get another chance like this.
Support me, and you'll win the lottery.
Well...
I want to talk about my love life.
Men always say something before dumping me.
'This isn't about you.'
'I know I'll never meet someone as good as you.'
I always gave it my all.
I didn't know that dating, like politics, was a game.
But I still don't know why people play games.
So if I become your mayor, I won't play any games.
I want you to have fond memories of my tenure.
I will make good memories.
I will never dump you folks.
Hey, you don't even know the construction.
Yet you yap on, jerk.
Can't I say whatever I want, jerk?
Gentlemen, please.
How can you be so ignorant?
And you don't even know the price of radishes!
Why, you jerk...

['Day One']
Folks enjoy your overnight trip.
You look so nice, ma'am.
Enjoy yourselves.
Why are you sending them to a hot spring?
Our Victory Party has no support in this district.
They can't vote.
Let's go onto the next block. It's going to be busy.
It's amazing how your brain works.
Isn't it?
This is how I got elected. This really works!
Get going.
So you're paying for my implants after the election.
Bye.
Is everyone on?
All right then.
Have fun, folks.
What are you doing?
Do you want to die or something? Are you crazy?
'What am I doing?' You think that I don't know?
You want me to notify the election committee?
Oh my.
You've misunderstood...
They're going on a trip on their own...
Shut it.
I've been around long enough to have three kids.
Oh really?
You should've invited me to your baby shower.
Give it a rest.
You pull this every election, right?
I never gave a damn about politics before.
But I'm starting to care, so get to it!
Get to what...?
Get on the bus, and cancel the trip.
They have to sleep so they can vote.
- Ms. Boo-mi, dear... -Why, you!
You think I'm nice, huh?
You want me to get on that bus?
If I go, I'll drive it right back to the election committee.
Is that what you want?
Are you moving anytime soon?
I have one last request.
Please do vote.
Whether you vote for me or against me.
Not even the majority of In Ju's citizens vote.
The road to democracy starts with your one vote.
Thank you for being here.
Hey!
Shut up and get off the stage!
Women belong in the kitchen!
Get off the stage!
Going to hotels with men, who are you to tell us to vote?
Mind your own business!
If you're the mayor, I'm the president!
Go back to the kitchen!
Go, Shin Mi Rae!
Go, Miss Herring!
[Park Sun Mi]
Vote with your conscience, folks.
[Shin Mi Rae]
[Min Yoo Gam, Park Jun Jin, Shin Mi Rae]
[Independent Shin Mi Rae]
[Victory Party Min Yoo Gam]
Good luck, King Kong.
[Shin Mi Rae]
I'm voting against you two.
[Shin Mi Rae]
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.
[Min Yoo Gam]
This is about my family's livelihood.
[Min Yoo Gam]
One free cosmetic surgery per person?
[Park Jun Jin]
Hope...
Let's vote for hope.
[Shin Mi Rae]
Wait...
Will this not count?
I have to vote for number one.
Man...
Exit polls show Min with an overwhelming 57.3% of the votes.
His victory seems assured.
Shin Mi Rae is running second with 22.8%.
Park Jun Jin is in third place with just 7%.
Votes are still being counted.
Min Yoo Gam is in the lead with 13,702 votes.
Shin Mi Rae has made a good showing with 4,982 votes
but will probably fall short.
Independent candidate Shin is making a furious comeback.
District two is showing overwhelming support for Shin.
Less than 3,000 votes separate the candidates.
A come-from-behind victory may be possible.
District two is around the marketplace.
She could win!
Will she create another miracle after her Miss Herring victory?
Lock the doors.
Why?
It's not over yet.
Take down the names of people who leave.
Dad. Dad, you have to faint.
From the shock, you know.
Hurry, come on.
If it's big enough news, there's a reason to stay, right?
You can't go to Shin Mi Rae!
I won't let you!
That's enough.
You've done more than enough.
And I'm beat too.
Dad...
Here are the final results of the mayoral recall election.
Independent Shin Mi Rae has won with 22,024 votes.
Victory Party's Min Yu Gam came in second with 21,782 votes.
Third place is Park Jun Jin with a total of 2,569 votes.
Independent Shin Mi Rae has been elected as mayor of In Ju.
As for the transition...
Let's take a day off!
[Revealing Korea's Competition!] [2009 National Boat Competition Show]
[World Yachting Circuit Korean Cup] Korea holds such events?
From June 3rd to 7th.
Were you born yesterday, King Kong?
It's equivalent to the English Premier League.
Well, I didn't know, okay?
I'm usually just at home...
Why did we come here? I only have a day off before the transition tomorrow.
I want to show off my boat.
Let's see...
Boat?
Like these?
You're full of surprises.
Will you take me for a ride?
Hey, long time no see.
So you made it to the finals.
Come on, you know me. You know athlete, Kim Dong Yong, right?
Of course I do.
- We met last year, right? - Yes, good to see you.
Why aren't you competing this year?
Competing...?
I was preparing for another competition.
Say hello, she's the mayor of In Ju.
How do you do?
I'm Shin Mi Rae, the mayor of In Ju.
You're so young.
Not only young, but beautiful and fit as well.
And most of all...
Give it a rest.
I'm going to take her for a spin.
It's been a while so I don't know how it's going to turn out.
Please, Mayor.
Sure thing.
- See you. - Till next time.
This way.
Let's go!
You see that island over there?
That's where we're headed.
This is so nice!
This is to die for!
I have a wish...
You saw 'Titanic', right?
Can we do that scene from 'Titanic'?
If you say no, I might just jump into the sea.
Please do.
Why are you backing out now?
I know you want to do it, too.
Come on.
Come on, baby...
It's dangerous, what happens if you really fall?
But you'll save me.
I saw you swim well that time.
Do you...
trust me?
Should I not?
There are 299 members in the National Assembly.
Do you know what their dreams are?
People's welfare, happiness...
And freedom...
Wrong.
Their only dream is the presidency.
But I have the same dream.
There's a saying.
"Democracy is just a term you invoke to appease the people."
I want to be one of those assemblymen.
In order to get there, I'll step on and hurt countless people.
I may step on those closest to me first.
So...
You have to look out.
For yourself, your convictions, and your constituents.
As the mayor, Shin Mi Rae.
This will be my only moment of honesty.
[In Ju Mayoral Transition Committee]
I'm going to lose it.
That's why we need a real mayor.
It's the first time I've been to a transition committee at a chicken joint.
What if someone hears you?
Unlike you two, Mi Rae and I...
The mayor elect and I are on good terms.
But you're in trouble.
Why do you say it like that?
I only tore her dress...
What if she's holding a grudge?
Losers...
I can't call someone who said, 'Feel free to ask for refills'
the Mayor so you guys get in line on your own, okay?
Thank you for coming.
The transition committee's role is to assess the current situation.
So I've invited experts who deal with pressing issues.
For agriculture and tourism, Mr. Lee Jung Do.
For low birth rate, Jung Boo Mi.
For education, Ms. Choi Ja Sun.
For economy, Mr. Choi Boo Ja.
For unemployment, Ms. Jung Seh Rong.
And of course, last but not least
In Ju's own pretty boy city directors.
You're all worried, right?
How can a girl who used to make coffee do anything?
Especially you, Director Ji.
Well...
I'd be lying if I denied it.
I'm aware of that.
Frankly, I'm worried myself.
But even though I'm not as informed as you
I know what went on in the city hall corridors.
Anyone can be a pretender.
You're free to think that.
But I've heard countless stories over the past seven years.
I've made countless copies
and brought countless coffees to meetings.
While making copies and bringing coffees
was I not watching and listening?
I didn't just make coffee for the last seven years.
All I've ever done is to make you suffer...
That's not true.
I'm just going to work like before.
It's the same just a different office.
Good. That's the proper attitude.
Go on.
- For the country! - Yes, for the country!
I'll be back.
Okay.
[In Ju Mayor Shin Mi Rae's Inauguration]
Mayor Shin Mi Rae will now take the oath of office.
Oath.
I hereby do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution...
and perform the duties and accept responsibilities
of the mayor of the city of In Ju
and work on behalf of the welfare of our citizens.
June 3rd, 2009.
In Ju Mayor, Shin Mi Rae.
Hello, I'm your mayor, Shin Mi Rae.
Subtitles by DramaFever
Fresh from swearing in
I'm your mayor, Shin Mi Rae.
She won't last more than a month.
But it's the mayor's first day...
How upsetting...
You'll have to run.
We should first...
Not on the Justice Party.
I'm running as an independent.
