[City Hall]
And here's our conclusion.
What...
What are these?
A frog has forgotten that she was once a tadpole.
As her mentor and former superior, I can't accept this.
So this is what we've decided.
So you're against scrapping my relocation?
What else could it be?
We worked night and day for that.
And as you worked night and day
did it ever dawn on you that it wouldn't benefit the people?
There are pros and cons to everything.
It's not all about the cons.
Of course, there are pros.
New development.
A new working environment.
Redirecting of traffic, et cetera.
I had to come up with these lame reasons.
And didn't you all call me crazy?
You all know this plan would only benefit the top ten percent.
You think you're above the fray?
We know that already.
That top ten percent is Inju's past, present and future.
So just let it be.
Process the resignations as soon as possible.
And as the ex-director of tourism, you should have joined us as well.
Let's go.
Is this all you amount to?
What are you? Thugs? Cowards?
You can't even agree on what to have for lunch
and you collectively resigned?
Like you consulted us when you resigned?
Jungdo, put yourself in our shoes.
If the relocation falls through, I won't even be able to face my in-laws.
Your wife is rich, your father-in-law is even richer.
Your female friend is the major.
How can a ladies' man like you understand guys like us?
I understand how you guys feel
But Mayor Shin was elected by the people.
She represents their hope, you have no right to do this.
That's why we're resigning.
So why are you lecturing us?
Move.
Are you okay?
Have some tea.
We expected this.
They're just hazing the new mayor.
You needn't worry, I'll...
No.
This is my first challenge, so I'll give it a try.
If I were in their shoes, I would've done the same.
But this is a fiasco of blockbuster proportions
so I feel down.
Everyone involved needs to take some time.
Let's not schedule any meeting for this week.
I understand, Ma'am.
I'll try to postpone things until next week.
Sure, let's think of it as a learning period.
I still don't know my job duties.
Let's talk about vehicle usage.
Mayor Goh used three cars, including one for his wife.
I won't need them, so what should we do?
They might just say I'm putting on another show.
You need one vehicle.
You can't ride your bike to city events.
Boomi is right, we'll leave one vehicle.
Accepting rides can be considered taking bribes.
What about the mayoral residence?
Of course, I'll use the mayoral residence.
You haven't seen the residence?
It's so nice and big.
It was just built, plus it's free.
Let's take the bull by the horns.
Maybe moving will take my mind off things.
I never imagined such a nice facility for our kids.
Thank you, Mayor.
You'll have your hands full.
But accept every child who wants to come.
I'll get the rich folks to fork over the costs.
You won't have to worry.
We found a sponsor last month.
We'll be hiring a new teacher too.
The sponsor is an elegant older lady.
She's dropping by later, so you can...
There she is!
Hello.
How do you do?
We met...
I remember you.
This is a good use of an official residence.
Sure, people tell me I'm special...
Putting on quite a show.
People must tell you off too.
Pardon?
The nail that sticks out gets struck down.
But I like people who stick out.
Congratulations on your election.
Driver.
She's much nicer than she lets on.
I know a person like that.
So he takes after his mom.
Over here too.
Right.
And there too.
Yes.
It's a good vacuum. I bought it.
No wonder it works so nice and tidy.
Hey, don't even mention it.
You're rather clumsy. You must not do this at home.
Actually, I'm a neat freak.
My hands are always cleaning, and I wash my hair every day too.
Rang isn't coming?
He'd make so many friends here.
Rang really looks like his dad.
He's so cute.
He looks more like his dad by the day.
It's good to take in children.
Take in?
Guk didn't tell you that he adopted Rang?
He's so childish at times.
I always thought the deputy mayor was down-to-earth.
Why don't you stop yapping and finish cleaning?
Right!
Mirae!
I mean, Mayor Shin, here's your order.
You're here.
Everyone, let's go outside!
Have you had lunch?
This is on me.
Eat up, everyone.
Looks so good! Thank you!
This is from the children.
Really? For me?
Congratulations!
Thank you, children.
I guess you go way back.
But I've done more for them in a shorter time.
Let's accept this together...
Never mind.
Do you know where Guk set up his headquarters?
Headquarters?
Here's the paperwork.
Please fill it out.
The Victory Party is in chaos; the Justice Party is eerily quiet.
I guess they're still deciding on the nominees.
They must be in a bind.
I really hope this one guy will run...
Let's go back into the tempest.
But you seem so relaxed.
Is Mayor Shin supporting us?
That'd definitely help us.
She's got more than enough on her plate.
Help her train on the job for three hours a day.
Why didn't you call me first?
I figured your were busy.
I was just going to leave if I didn't catch you.
Sooin told me the location.
I forgot to tell you.
You forgot?
How convenient.
Want something to drink? Do we have anything?
No, I just came to see you.
Like this?
Actually, Big Brother sent me.
Didn't he tell you that he's building something here?
He wanted me to look at some land.
He said you might be too busy.
What kind of house is he building?
You can't even ask him that yourself now?
Let me know if you need my help.
It looks to me as if he's got you in his palms.
Wait, I'll take you.
Well, what do you think?
Depends on what he's building.
I suppose it's not ordinary houses.
So that's why you came.
Let me know, maybe I could help.
You can help by just not interfering.
Come this way.
The new city hall will be built here.
All those lots are already sold.
This is the lot I saved for you.
I heard the city hall won't be relocated.
Just false rumors.
All the movers and shakers bought these lots.
But I asked someone at city hall.
The new mayor is scrapping the whole idea.
That's not true.
Assemblymen and bigwigs from Seoul have bought lots here.
So she's trying to act the part.
If there's no new city hall, this land will be cleared.
I think he'd really like this spot.
Let's go.
I appreciate that.
I had fun. I like kids.
I had no idea.
Why don't you have any children?
Go on.
I'll take care of the mayoral residence matter.
My goodness!
Calm down.
I saw the new deputy mayor leave.
Can you get me that info you promised me?
Sorry, Mirae...
I mean, Ma'am.
I can't get that for you.
Why not?
Well, all the directors resigned.
The deputy mayor said he'll be making the decisions.
He said not to report to you.
That yours is a ceremonial positions.
I'm sorry, Ma'am.
It's not your fault, Haera.
Have a good one.
Why did you do that?
Why did you make me believe in myself?
I have no power.
No one believes me.
Why did you make me delude myself?
And you're not even by my side.
The deputy mayor is making all the decisions?
Yes, they've turned me into a figurehead.
"The mayor will have no clue as to what goes on."
Something like that.
I visited all the departments.
With no directors around they won't file reports.
They fear the directors more than the mayor.
So do we just not do anything?
Not on taxpayer's money!
Well, we'll just have to do it our way.
Our way? Like what?
Office of Civic Affairs?
I had a question so I decided to call.
What kind of programs are you working on?
The office of city planning must be working on something.
Just go down the list.
I have the right to know what the city does with its budget.
Don't make me call the provincial government.
I'll say you refused to talk to me.
How would you like that?
I'm not hanging up until you tell me.
Who am I?
I go by Elsa.
"Who are you to ask?"
Is that what you're saying?
I don't think you want to know.
I'm a taxpaying citizen who pays your salary, buddy!
I think it's broken.
Oh.
What brings you here?
I wanted to see the mayor. I heard the new mayor is quite beautiful.
I guess she isn't here.
Did she go home?
You only heard half of the story.
She incredibly beautiful, not just quite beautiful.
I can't even leave the office, I get mobbed by crowds.
Then just stay here.
Hey, you can't just leave!
Why did you come?
Guk!
Joh Guk!
Guk!
Joh Guk!
This isn't expensive, so I'll treat.
But this is good brisket soup, from domestic beef.
It'll make you sick.
Hey, I'm eating over here.
Not that kind of sickness.
But a mad craving for brisket soup.
You know something?
Eat a lot of briskets and oxtails for economy's sake.
People wanting sirloin and ribs drives up their prices.
So eat up and lower the price of sirloin.
I'm so knowledgeable and cute, aren't I?
I don't use my brain often, but when I do...
What?
Didn't we go over this?
Guk no like this, Mirae no beautiful.
Mirae's brain go cuckoo?
Sorry, making up for lost time.
Eat up.
This is good too though.
Ah.
What?
Never mind then.
Ah.
Make the guy do this kind of thing.
Have him open the doors, pull out the chairs
and set your plates and utensils.
You've never asked for that kind of treatment, right?
You should. A woman should value herself.
Ah.
Is everything okay at the city hall?
What?
Well...
Sure.
Are you sure?
Well... why?
Have you heard something?
Isn't that the new mayor?
No, she doesn't look like that.
Her photos were all retouched.
Let's go, nothing good can come out of it.
Why do we have to avoid people?
Walk on this side, please.
What kind of losers have you dated?
What?
Over there.
[We want him for assemblyman.]
[Our handsome charismatic superman]
That didn't have to do all that.
And why retouch photos?
I would've looked better in those tights.
Right?
You saw me at the pool oozing with charisma.
You just had to take after me?
They'll build a homepage for you too.
They insisted on doing it all on their own.
Hey are you not going to offer me a ride?
Get in if you want.
What are you doing?
Thank you.
I could be somewhat attractive after all.
You made me realize that.
What did you mean though?
Why do we have to avoid people?
Nothing good will come out of being seen together.
People will say that you support my candidacy.
You're the mayor now.
But that's so unfair.
We can meet at night, I know all the dark and intimate spots.
You've been to a lot of dark and intimate spots?
With that cheesy friend of yours?
Jealous?
Please.
Your mother was so right.
You are childish.
Never be embarrassed about being jealous.
My mother?
I saw her this afternoon.
My mother?
Where? How?
- What else did you talk about? - Like what?
You must have a lot of skeletons.
I mean you. Did you say something silly?
What's wrong?
Did I say anything silly?
Is that what you think of me?
No wonder people disrespect me.
And you were my campaign chairman.
Nobody cares that I'm seen with you.
Nobody thinks of me as the mayor anyway.
Your fickleness is worse than the directors' resigning!
You didn't even let me finish.
Let go!
I can't let you go like this.
I'm just not that cool.
I'll handle my feelings, and you handle yours.
- After all, I just say silly things... - So just listen!
And don't ever assume you know how I feel.
I know my mother can be a handful.
So I was just worried. I'm sure you tried to please her.
But she's not the type to appreciate that.
I'm sure you felt hurt, and the though of it just upsets me.
This is way a man shouldn't be so nice.
This is what I get for showing concern.
You don't know your mother.
She's not like that.
She's like ginger ale. She's got a bite but you see through her.
She'll give you a piece of her mind but help you digest it.
But most of all, she's sweet and refreshing.
I'm sorry that I snapped at you.
Something happened at city hall and you got the brunt of it.
I thought I'd enjoy being the mayor, but that's not the case.
Is this about the directors' resigning?
Why did they resign?
I said I was scrapping the relocation plan.
You did?
I know.
If there's no new city hall, this land will be cleared.
I think he'd really like this spot.
If I stick to my guns, there will be a ruckus, no?
Probably, but what about the resignations?
It'll take time, but I'll have to persuade them.
No, you have to fight them.
But it's all of them against me.
Don't fight them yourself, just hit them in their Achilles' heel.
What are married men most afraid of?
"Why are you doing this?"
"What about your families, your wives?"
I begged and pleaded, but they threw their letters...
That's insane!
"Fine, I have my pride too. I'll process their resignations..."
Mayor...
But then I was reminded of your frail hands.
What about your little bunny rabbits of children?
What if you go hungry?
Okay.
This is so good.
You too?
And you too?
And you?
Man... I can't take this anymore!
To the mayor's office!
It's the mayor's office.
We've been summoned.
I'd ask you to sit down but this won't take long.
So just stand.
Wow... I guess your reviewed our resignations.
Yes, we can't have the positions vacant for too long.
I'm processing your resignations.
Thank you for all you've done.
Wait, shouldn't you...
Yes, you should reconsider...
Did you mean what you just said?
Yes, I decide quickly and rarely regret things.
But things will come to a stall, and Inju will be a mess.
I already took those things into account.
I'll deal with it.
Chief Lee, tell them to come in.
Come in, gentlemen.
You know each other.
They were your immediate subordinates.
They come highly recommended.
I'm sure you've heard, but all the directors resigned as a group.
And I proceeded the resignations.
I'm asking you to take over the vacant positions.
I take it that you'll work even harder than they did.
Bring the backed up paperwork for me to review.
Yes, Ma'am.
Mr. Jung, offer these gentleman some coffee before they go.
I'm sorry that's all we have to offer.
You...
You should stop about now.
You're just passing through.
In two years, things will change, and this is a small town.
You seem to be mistaken.
I didn't take this job to just pass through.
The other mayors partook in politics, but I'll be running the city.
I don't have to answer to any of you.
I only answer to the people of Inju.
I don't belong to a party, so I owe no favors.
And I actually think for myself.
Good things, right things.
And that's what I intend to carry out.
So two years, four years, and four more years...
I intend to stay right here.
Ten years is a long time to be passing through.
So I suggest you stop acting up.
And I just thought of one more goal.
I'm going to remember this day.
I intend to win your votes in two years.
So wherever you end up, keep a close watch.
When did she change?
Or was she always so vicious?
I'm still shaking!
I told you this wouldn't work.
We totally miscalculated.
We should've just gone along.
Then we could've gotten her on some procedural matter.
You still haven't come to your senses.
Come on, you took an oath of office.
And you worked with her for seven years.
You can't cut her some slack?
She just started.
You shouldn't be talking.
She just has to scrap the relocation?
What about all the landowners?
Can't she pick another battle?
You're afraid of the landowners?
Have some conviction, then you won't be so afraid.
I'm more upset with you.
You two go back seven years, but we go back forty.
"Offer these gentlemen some coffee before they go?"
Okay, I was wrong.
Coffee for you would be a waste of taxpayer money.
Bye.
Why, that...
This is the plan for the national election.
Keep in mind that the new mayor isn't on our side.
Governor Soh may run, and we've been expecting Joh Guk to run.
The governor?
But governors don't usually run for the National Assembly.
Well, he's at the end of his term limit.
And nobody cares about the governor of this province.
Some mayors have more clout.
What's the best way to get yourself to Seoul?
To become an assemblyman, and people here vote for their native sons.
Anyway, our strategy will be
"The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know."
Fine, bu first things first. What about the city hall relocation?
So I've been thinking, and a light bulb went on.
All we have to do is get her to join our party, right?
Sure, but will she join our party willingly?
Of course not.
So we have to show her how bad it is not to belong to a party.
Gather up all the supporters of the relocation.
Excuse me.
Min Joohwa speaking.
Oh?
The parties have announced their nominees.
[Boo Junhan Victory Party]
Remember that they're masters at negative campaigning.
[Kim Silchun Sovereignty Party.]
He paid the election fee in cash this time.
Who knows if he filled out the forms correctly?
[Park Junjin Progressive Party]
The mayoral election was the minor leagues.
Onto the major leagues!
Politics can be addictive. This man has grown on me.
[Soh Yuhan Justice Party]
The crop season is coming up.
The Justice Party would like to cultivate your votes!
And we have our bait.
Bait?
So he was the one you were hoping would run?
Why?
You don't know your bait?
But you're even nastier than worms.
I was just concerned.
Why do you want such a touch opponent?
I need to getup there before the next presidential election.
No use in beating up on neighborhood stars.
I have to beat up on the superstars.
I betrayed the Justice Party twice.
If I beat Soh Yuhan, they won't think of me
as a backstabber but as a future star.
But you're running as an independent anyway.
I'll need party affiliation after I'm elected as an independent.
You can't go anywhere in this country without party backing.
Why aren't they here?
I hired some experienced campaign workers.
But I told you I'd do that.
Your picks are way too sophisticated.
Stick to this town's style.
Excuse us.
Come on in! I've been expecting you.
Good to see you.
Ready for one more miracle?
Oh yes!
- One more miracle? - Miracle!
[The Second Coming of Shin Mirae]
She just had to copy me.
[A Cool Young Politician]
So good-looking you can't even take your eyes off?
Women will take these home. I better print ten thousand more.
You wish.
It was just neat that you end up being number five too.
No kidding, I don't like the number five.
Whether it was academics or sports, I was always number one.
Please, as if.
Five is a great number.
Five fingers, five toes.
Five pointed stars, five quintuplets, five easy pieces.
Give me five, man.
Man? You mean sir.
Go play soccer, my pupil.
Look.
My goodness, did he bounce another check?
No he paid the fees, but he only got two hundred and ninety-nine signatures.
The man can't even count.
Nice start, it's five to one now.
But what are you doing here?
Don't tell me you were waiting for me.
Well, you're usually off about now.
And it's easy to spot a heifer in a small town.
I did want to talk to you.
You did? About what?
What's all this?
Before that, I have a question.
Why do you want to scrap the relocation?
That's what you wanted to talk about?
Yes.
It was on my mind even before the previous mayors pushed for it.
But we can just add some space to the existing hall.
Sometimes you have to go with the flow.
Still want to scrap it?
But is it right for the mayor to spend twenty million dollars?
Scrapping the relocation is politics too.
The working class will applaud you, but other people live here too.
But still.
The directors just think you're dumb.
Plus, you're diligent, so it bugs them even more.
That you're sincere on top of it all really irks them.
So don't expect them to appreciate your sincerity.
I stayed up looking into the relocation.
Looking for loopholes to scrap the whole thing.
But there's nothing you can do legally.
Nothing at all?
You could resort to one last maneuver.
Finding some clerical error.
But they were directors for a reason.
They prepared for a year so they cover their bases.
Or, you could just not send the budget to the council for approval.
Even though the approval is a mere formality.
So I just don't send the budget?
What if I kidnap the head of the city council?
I was just kidding.
So once the budget is approved, there's no other way?
Sure there is.
Once the budget is approved, the land will be purchased.
You can just not sign off on the purchase.
Play dirty.
Oh?
I can do that?
So you are a genius.
But how long can you persist like that?
And you won't be able to get anything you want done.
Is that okay?
Can't you just let it go?
You may end up with something worse than a new city hall.
And stopping that might be even harder.
What do you mean?
That's all I can tell you.
He's not good at looking after others, so don't take it personally.
I know that. How is he?
He's fine, so I pouted a bit.
He asked how you...
If that was true, he'd visit.
I was just saying that for him.
He must be having a hard time, so try to understand...
How was the land? Good for construction?
I looked at three places. They were all fine.
They may build a new city hall, so we'll have to see.
My father will be in Korea soon.
He asked if you'd like to have dinner.
Of course.
I hope everything worked out for him.
He sounded great.
So is that factory going to be built in Inju?
Is that what the land is for?
How do you know about the factory?
Does your father like to talk, or do you catch onto things?
Where's the mayor?
I know you're upset, but you can't do this.
You should've talked to me first, sir.
It's not like you.
You've gotten so beautiful.
Let's talk outside.
We'll leave for the sake of these gentlemen.
Are you okay?
Sit down.
I had no idea you'd sink this low.
I didn't force this. You made this happen, Mayor.
The relocation wasn't decided at a block party.
I just didn't want to waste the budget.
I want to put it to better use.
A rookie mayor can't let a year's work go to waste!
You're out of your league.
And you're taking everyone else down!
It's one thing for you to not appreciate my intent.
But don't twist it.
Don't make me turn vicious!
I see how you want to play, so I won't hold back either.
Ms. Jung, call personnel and process the directors' severance pay.
And I want all the paperwork regarding the relocation.
If they won't give it up, just take it from them.
This contains the details regarding the new building.
This contains information about purchasing the land.
And this...
I'll start with this. I won't remember any of it anyway.
You're going to review this by yourself?
Let's wait until Chief Lee gets back.
No, this is my project.
Just let me be. You can go home as usual.
I might not see you.
And keep it a secret from Chief Lee.
I'm candidate number five, Joh Guk.
Playing hard to get?
But we even spent a passionate night together.
I have to stay neutral, but I just happened to see you.
I do tend to stand out.
- How's city hall? - In shambles.
You know the mayor doesn't hold back.
I've been out all day, so I'll see when I get back.
Do you agree with the mayor?
Regarding what?
Scrapping the relocation.
Yes. I guess you feel differently.
Yes.
Don't ask why, but can you stop her?
I've always been curious. Why Inju?
You could've gone somewhere more glamorous.
Because it's your hometown? Or because you have an ulterior motive?
[Stupid Mutt]
Your call is being directed to...
Why aren't you here? You wanted some training. Call me.
Your call is being directed to...
Why won't you pick up? Are you with that dude?
Where are you?
Break your finger? Can't even text me?
Listen here, Shin Mirae. I'm not waiting for worried, but...
Just call me.
They've covered their behinds completely.
[Goh Boosil]
What a signature.
And where's your bike? Did you spend the night out?
Ladies and gentlemen...
I did it!
They're all dead!
Why didn't you pick up?
Just tell me you were working...
I got them! I caught them!
Joh Guk! Catch me if you can...
You've totally lost it!
Hey, you can't leave.
Joh Guk!
Come catch me...
Director Park uses round strokes.
But Mayor Goh writes like a first grader.
So this is not Mayor Goh's signature!
I'm sorry, I'll pick up next time.
Small and petty like a herring.
Men do this for women in movies.
I have hands too.
Never mind.
Go, go, go!
It's one thing not to help, but...
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Have you forgotten our contract?
You still have that?
I do, therefore, your body belongs to me.
It belongs to me.
So can I do as I please?
What?

Weren't you wondering about our next step?
Did you send them to the mayor's office?
- Let's get a divorce. - Fine!
Can I just do that one more time?
Are you crazy?
Who put you up to this?
So the National Assembly candidate Joh Guk...
has assaulted a member of the media.
And he's dating the mayor.
So the word has gotten out.
Ms. Shin Mirae.
Although we cannot preserve the life and freedom...
of the fish...
So that it's death will not be in vain...
Hold on, start over.
Who is it?
The hidden secrets of his identity...
I need water.
Wow, our Al Pacino is all grown up. We can send you off to marry.
Does he have a girl...
- You're not supposed to do that. - Just keep petting it.
The breathing from its nose is so strong.
I don't care whether or not you stay.
Let's see each other more often.
Mi Rae really likes bags. Jewelery too. She likes it awot... Awot?
You haven't changed... start over.
We need to confirm something. It doesn't seem right.
- If you look here, there's a schedule. - Oh really? It is the schedule.
- Yes. Just a moment. - Did you get something?
[Director: All Mi Rae does is eat.]
What about Director Lee? Will he ever rest?
He really should rest.
Is he okay?
A person shouldn't be like that.
- I mean he never rests. Ever. - Oh really?
[Director: Okay, now you can stop talking on the phone]
Look at this, look.
- This is the script. - Really?
