[Episode 15]
Why are you doing this?
What are you trying to pull?
Have a seat.
You're more beautiful than they say.
I'm honored that you're visiting.
- I'm the new mayor... - Get out.
Didn't you hear me say 'get out'?
I have to meet with her one way or another.
Wouldn't you rather be around?
Are you just going to stand there?
No, sir...
Can you handle your drink?
As long as I'm not paying.
Excuse me, sir.
Everyone does this in our neighborhood so...
I bet you drink like most guys under the table.
Please get to the point, she's a busy woman.
Actually, I can't drink.
He knows that. He's known me for a long time.
I see...
Since I'm stuck inside
I've been getting all my news from others.
And I've heard an awful lot about you.
About me?
I'm sure some of it is false or exaggerated.
Well anyway.
But from what I've heard...
About not relocating city hall...
You're a great mayor with conviction.
I find that simple and pretty.
Thank you.
However...
You've been spending time with someone you shouldn't.
That's pitiful.
This young man is ambitious.
He said himself that he wants to run the country.
Such a man cannot let a woman tie him down.
So I hope you won't make him lose his focus.
What are you saying?
Let me ask you a question.
Who would you choose, him or the people of Inju?
If you don't defy me, I can give you much.
Which can be spent for Inju's people.
But if that's not the case
this pathetic little city won't see any government money.
That's enough.
I ordered him to get a puppet mayor elected.
But now he's the one acting like a puppet.
How am I suppose to understand this?
Get up, you shouldn't have to listen to this.
You may not need my help, but it's different for our new mayor.
It's a lot easier to mess things up than to help.
If you take her now, I'll be sure to mess things up.
You got her elected, so I'll let you decide
whether she succeeds or fails.
What will it be?
Thank you for your fine words.
Whenever I saw you in the papers or on TV...
You got my hopes up about what a politician could be.
So I'm especially sad.
Your words hurt...
But I also lost someone whom I used to admire...
I felt lost as to what to do...
But you've put my mind at ease.
Once again, it's been an honor, sir.
Very well!
That's what a real man should do.
However if she fails, it'll all be because of you.
What is it?
What's wrong?
Did you meet with Big Brother?
Sorry, but I'm going to call it a day.
What happened?
I saw Joh Guk's car outside.
Did you happen to be together?
I'm going for a walk so you needn't worry.
Please.
Mayor!
If there's nothing more to say, I should get going.
I told you to have one of your own elected
and you got your woman elected?
What's the reason? What's the reason you're doing this?
What do you want from me?
What do I want? Like you have to ask!
You acted as if you were destined for greatness
to fall for a girl like her?
Don't you know why I've stayed quiet making pottery?
I do know why. I know.
You're preparing for a comeback.
I know you're planning to run as president.
You know. So what's up with your childish tantrums?
There's a limit to whining if you want to be caressed.
You want some candy?
Hug a teddy bear?
You should've done that a long time ago.
The reason why is quite simple.
I just want to see you beg me for forgiveness.
You'll need campaign funds.
And Go Hae's father may provide that money.
But I'm the one who holds the key to Go Hae's heart.
You know that, yet you're acting like this?
That's why I plan to dump Go Hae.
I'm going to dump her.
Abandoning women like old shoes may run in my blood.
My father left my mother.
But I'm still better than my father.
He even left his own child.
Campaign funds?
Not in your wildest dreams.
Just make your pottery
and remain a legend in people's hearts.
Live like that.
I will live a little differently.
So you've really fallen for her.
Fine, do what you want.
I'll have to stay true to what I said.
Don't give me that look, I can't lose to you.
You'll see how your arrogant choice may ruin a small-time mayor.
I missed you.
I'll do something to get slapped now.
Why is neither one picking up?
My kids must be starving.
I should just go home.
Kids, mommy's coming home...
Oh goodness. You scared me.
Mayor Shin didn't come?
Have you heard from her?
Were you supposed to meet?
I can't get a hold of her either.
She went to see Big Brother.
She may not be able to pick up.
She admires that man.
Should I leave her a memo?
No, thank you.
Paint a picture.
A huge picture.
Fill in that dark space.
Paint the lights you want Inju to be protected by.
Over there, a hospital.
Over there, a library.
Over there, an amusement park.
And over there...
Let me ask you a question.
Who would you choose, him or the people of Inju?
I ordered him to get a puppet mayor elected.
But now he's the one acting like a puppet.
How am I supposed to understand this?
Shin Mi Rae!
Shin Mi Rae, are you in there or not?
Why didn't you pick up your phone? I was so worried...
I guess it was true.
About how people say you're a pretty boy.
Such pretty eyes...
A nice nose...
A nice chin...
So you really made my heart race...
You didn't know right?
In one dream, we went away together.
In another dream, we held hands.
And in another dream...
We even embraced...
And another night, we felt asleep together.
But then in another dream...
Just like today...
We said goodbye like this.
We knew all along we couldn't be on the same side.
- So... - I know...
When I first saw you, you were an easy woman.
You were just someone I could use and throw away
but now I'm staking my life on you and I'm going crazy.
So...
Not you too.
I asked you once before.
What if we ended up on opposing sides...
Shin Mi Rae has already lost.
But Mayor Shin can't afford to lose.
I'm no puppet, so...
So go to the side you belong.
And I'll go to my side.
[Political Legend Big Brother and Dark Horse Joh Guk]
Yeah, it's me.
Find out what brand Big Brother likes.
Come on now.
Who doesn't like fancy brands?
Hey if his appearance is plain, his underwear is a 100% fancy brand.
Find out whether he prefers boxers or briefs.
This is very important.
How can you write a report like this?
Come on, Big Brother was not here to see Joh Guk.
Didn't you see me there?
My phone ran out of battery so I couldn't take Big Brother's call.
He and I made eye contact multiple times.
Where were you guys? Right side? Left side?
Joh Guk stood out only because he was the tallest person there.
Let's print a retraction.
'Big Brother spends time with Joh Guk, but does not endorse him.'
How's that?
Former assemblyman Cho Dong Gyu, also known as
Big Brother, has made a splash with a public appearance.
As many anticipate his return to politics
Cho created a stir by showing up at a rally
for the independent candidate Joh Guk.
The race was thought to be a two-way race between
the candidates of Justice and Victory parties...
Man, he won the lotto.
But why isn't our candidate here to take advantage of this?
The campaign chairman does the nitty-gritty.
I'll sell the nitty...
You guys sell the gritty from now on.
Don't just hit the political sites
but travel, sports, leisure, dance, auto, fishing
fashion, holistic magazine sites and others.
Sign up for all the websites
post positive comments about his hobbies and interests.
Along with these photos.
Turn him into a friend who shares their interests.
A man they can relate to.
Bingo!
Say you ran into Joh Guk at the pub or the movies.
Or in the streets in the rain.
Say he offered you an umbrella.
As his shoulders were getting wet.
Making sense of these legendary stories.
Using different screen names and different internet cafes.
- Okay? - Yes!
Sounds good!
Good luck!
Excuse me, you have one more print of that?
Your arrogant choice will ruin a small-time mayor.
You'll see.
I'm no puppet, so...
So go to the side you belong.
And I'll go to my side.
Where are you? Please call.
Why are you doing this?
You have to tell me where you're going!
What are you thinking?
BB came here to show you his support.
You can't waste this chance.
Isn't this why you served him all this time?
We're just getting started...
Soo In.
What?
Have you ever cried over a woman?
Try it.
It'll set you apart from other guys.
What are you talking about?
Are you not going to do the election?
Are you going to give up on it?
Why? We're just getting started.
Come up with a blub about BB and leak it to every publication.
Exaggerate if you have to.
Say that Joh Guk is BB's right arm and political comrade.
That I'm the brains and the wild card behind his operation.
Guk...
It's time that I get that candy and teddy bear.
I'll do whatever it takes to get what's mine.
I was taught to step over those closest to you.
By that gentleman.
I'm candidate number five, Joh Guk.
Park Jun Jin!
You're campaigning hard, sir.
Never mind that, I'm getting riled up as well.
We're not electing a classroom monitor.
Look at candidate number five, for example.
Look at his clothes.
I haven't paid much attention...
You look nice, sir.
All you need is a drum and you're all set.
And a monkey on your shoulder
and throw a hat in front and it'll be perfect.
Well then...
Candidate number five, Joh Guk!
Hey, how can they just leave?
A big drum or a small one?
A monkey...
Is this against election laws?
This is candidate number five, Joh Guk.
I'm a cool, young politician for the new generation.
I ask for your support...
- Candidate number... - This isn't right!
There aren't no horses for nothing!
I will show you my power in one more term!
Boo Jung Han!
Mr. Candidate Boo Jung Han, pull out your vehicle right now.
You stepped on the line.
You're stalled in the intersection.
Vehicle of candidate number one, please adhere to the traffic laws.
Move along, sir.
You're violating traffic laws.
That's a good looking animal.
Doesn't those sparkling eyes remind you of someone?
Pardon? Who?
I'm not sure...
You've raised them so well. How can their coats be so shiny?
They're the cream of the crop like yourself, Mayor.
We feed them well, and this one even has a pedigree.
A pedigree?
It's no use though.
Selling one of these put your child through college.
Selling a cow so your child could go to school is an old saying now.
Nowadays it might put them through high school.
Ma'am, we farmers need hope.
Help us sell good livestock for a low price.
I beg you, ma'am.
Yes, though it's a tough problem, I'll try my best.
My, those eyes are the same...
Say 'moo.'
Hello, folks.
You all know that the elections are next week, right?
Eat up and make sure you vote for candidate number one.
Why don't we make a promise?
Fine, just hand over the utensils.
We've been waiting forever.
Oops, I forgot to tell you...
The presence of utensils would make this a meal
and a violation of the election laws.
It's a bit of a hassle, but just do this.
It tastes even better this way.
Use our hands?
Even if you accidentally say that Victory Party provided meals
you must make it clear there were no utensils.
Oh, my...
Don't change horses in the middle of the stream
Min Joo Hwa speaking.
Attorney Park?
Pardon?
What is this?
What the heck is this?
How dare you send me this first?
Is this a joke?
Is there a guy who sends divorce papers as a joke?
Then you mean this?
Yes, I do.
I hope that when you do come to your senses
you won't be too badly hurt and embarrassed.
Why do we have to do this because of Shin Mi Rae?
You said to live with conviction.
Mine is all about anti-Shin Mi Rae.
Let's just accept it and stay together.
No.
I want to be happy for a change too.
I don't like sleeping alone
or seeing you every day when I can't even hold you.
Unless you quit the council, and we sleep in the same room
just sign the paper.
Hey! Are you serious?
You dear and upright Mayor Shin has been awfully busy.
Agricultural subsidies?
Tell her to dream on.
Doesn't she know that she needs the council's approval?
I'll show you what partisanship is all about.
You can look forward to it.
Did you have a safe trip to Inju?
You could say that.
Thank you for supporting Guk.
All the media outlets are saying that his election seems certain...
You hear about your man through the media?
It's hard for me to understand.
How can you not even rein in a man's heart?
I don't understand...
He told me he'll dump you, Go Hae.
What do you think about that?
What do I think about that?
What do you think?
Is this something to blame me for? How dare you...
How can you let him say that, sir?
Money can't bring back the dead, but it can bury the living.
My father chose you because I chose Guk.
Of course...
You being the leading presidential hope played a part.
So break him, sir... and make him be with me.
That is your job, sir.
Why can't he appreciate such a sharp girl like you?
The election may have put him on the edge.
I'll pay more attention to him.
Don't worry, sir.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill led England
to victory against Germany in World War II.
Yet in the election held a mere two months later
his Conservative Party lost 197 to 393 to the Labor Party.
He beat Hitler yet lost to the Labor Party.
This is politics.
There is no sense of decorum or shame in politics.
So stop looking down and lift your head up.
What politicians fear the most is the gaze of the people.
Your votes are our badges of gold.
You're telling us to work on your behalf.
So why is your taxpayer money actually hurting your lives?
Some say that miserable politicians make happy citizens.
Therefore I...
What's going on?
Therefore I must make a choice.
Do I give up on you for my own happiness?
Or do I make myself miserable for your happiness?
Such a choice can't be easy for anyone.
My choice may mean that I lose a lot...
What scares me the most is the thought of losing you.
So even if you can't be on my side
I hope that you won't go too far.
Even if you oppose me, I hope that you'll be near.
Don't worry, we'll be on your side.
We won't go anywhere.
Hey, watch it!
You nearly killed me!
What are you going to do about this?
Are you going to pay for all this?
Watch where you're going!
Is 'sorry' all you can say?
Watch where you're going! What are you going to do?
Man...
Will this do?
Take it and leave.
Why are you doing this? Don't do this.
So you should watch where you're going.
What are you going to do if you can't walk properly?
Who the heck are you, her boyfriend?
She ran into me first!
She knocked down all these bottles!
That's why she's apologizing.
And I'm offering you a compensation.
Listen to this pretty boy pimp.
Are you showing off your money? Are you ignoring me right now?
Talk about lousy luck...
Lousy luck?
Worse than our luck?
We know a thing or two about lousy luck.
I finally figured out what I want, but everyone's gunning for me.
I'm between two cliffs here.
I'm dying to be with her, but then she'll get hurt.
But if I let her go, I might die!
What would you do in this case?
What would you do?
So just accept her apology.
She's been crying all day because of me.
Don't make it any harder on her.
See?
I open my mouth, and she cries.
Talk to her.
Don't do this.
You're going to hurt me for your own sake?
I have no will to fight with that man.
I beg you, don't come near me.
No, I'm going to get even closer.
And if you're losing, I'll fight for you.
For the first time in my life, I want to live right.
- I'll fight to my death... - How will you fight for me?
You didn't have the guts to walk out of there with me.
I was being humiliated and you didn't have the guts to follow
so how will you fight for me?
You're not even an assemblyman yet.
So stop deluding yourself.
You're handsome and intelligent.
What kind of woman wouldn't be interested?
Just think of it as a passing fancy.
You said yourself ends justify the means.
This is the result you get for getting a puppet mayor elected.
So just accept it.
It's been an interesting campaign, thank you for your hard work.
I'll win by a big margin no journalist could've predicted.
[Joh Guk]
Stupid mutt...
Cheers!
We will continue to give you coverage on the election
With 45.6% of the votes counted so far
So Yu Han and Joh Guk are in a dead heat.
This is so tight.
He has to get elected.
Hey you saw that right? This is a good sign.
He's going to win.
That split in half perfectly.
I've got a good feeling about this.
The voting results are continuously coming in.
With 62.3% votes counted, Justice Party
candidate So Yu Han is leading with 21, 328 votes.
Trailing him is independent candidate Joh Guk with 19,852 votes.
With 81.7% of the votes counted
Joh Guk has overtaken the lead with 24,785 votes.
We can now call the election for Joh Guk...
Where did our candidate go?
He was leaving before.
He probably went to the bathroom.
Congratulations sir... Please say a word.
Excuse me.
I think he went to the bathroom.
One moment please.
[Soo In]
Come on over, I'm waiting.
You're enjoying the drumsticks fried by the very hands
that made the very mayor and the assemblyman.
Enjoy them on the house
compliments of your campaign worker extraordinaire.
Here's some delicious chicken!
Wow! Looks delicious!
- Can we get some more water? - Sure, going now.
Oh that's right. We had a delivery order.
Why isn't the part-timer coming?
Is he having an election party?
Delivery?
I'll go.
The mayor can't make deliveries.
No one will recognize me in the dark.
And making the people eat happily is my job.
Where is it?
Wow...
Nice house...
Person who ordered chicken delivery.
The one who ordered half spicy and half fried.
You're so loud for a woman...
Going to wake up the whole neighborhood?
I ordered half spicy and half fried.
And I rented this place for our victory party.
I won.
I saw.
That will be $13.
You're not going to congratulate me?
Congratulations.
That's $13.
Can I get credit?
No.
- Please? - I don't want to.
Bring the money to the restaurant.
It took me all night to come up with this plan.
I bought off your friend and waited here for over 2 hours.
Don't leave.
I'll give you the $13 in the morning.
Take it in the morning...
I miss you all day long...
When I see you, I want to hold you.
Then I don't want to let you go.
I can't be sure...
But I think that I love you...
Fine, I won't leave.
I should stay here, right?
We can keep hiding and meet like this, right?
We can't hold hands or lock arms when people are around.
We can hide like this every night right?
Away from the eyes of that man who threatened me.
Nothing used to scare me.
Because I had nothing to lose.
But that's no longer the case.
I'm responsible for 130,000 people.
You said I was a tempest and that you could lose it all.
But I'm a tempest to the people of Inju as well.
And that makes me angry...
I must be really crazy.
All of this should make me afraid enough to run away...
But in spite of everything...
I can handle it.
I can handle being with you.
Thank you for holding on.
I can't choose between you two.
The people of Inju and you...
I can't give up on either.
I'll bear everything.
So don't ever say, "It's not you, it's me."
Don't you ever dump me.
Okay?
You know me, right?
No I changed my mind, print that story tomorrow.
I'll send you the photos.
Thank you.
You were declared the winner of this district
in the 19th National Assembly election.
The election committee hereby certifies your election.
City of Inju's Election Committee.
Cheers! Cheers!
[Civilians of Inju Thank you for your support]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Please go inside.
Isn't that Madame Jung?
It is.
What's she doing here?
Guk, baby, you're all grown up.
And you are...?
You don't remember me?
Jenny with red high heels in sexy calendar.
The Jenny who used to say, "I went to Ewha University"?
You do remember me.
I want you to know that you won because of me.
So you're Madam Jung?
Now that you're in politics, we'll run into each other.
Call me when you run into trouble.
Or if you're lonely.
You're cute as ever, baby Guk.
Bye.
- Well, in the past... - The past?
No, not that kind of past...
Let's go inside.
I'm overwhelmed with a sense of duty.
So from now on
Mayor Shin and I will work together for Inju's future.
I will provide hope with my actions.
Enjoy your tea.
Why isn't Mayor Shin coming?
She went right back to city hall.
Tell her to come report to me now.
She has to report on the state of the city.
Why isn't she coming? Who said she could go?
Right?
Though it's not like that, it is.
Just tell her to report to me.
Yes, Director Ji.
We started the public hospital project.
We have to get approval for the public property.
I'll give an additional report afterwords.
Okay.
Director Moon.
As for the meal service for farmers
we will provide it to 20 villages for July and August.
The people's responses have been explosive.
Right? Right?
See, I told you I'd do all right.
Director Byun.
We'll be providing 50 of each farming equipment.
They'll be circulated among the families for up to 3 days.
The budget for both programs has been submitted to the city council.
My pretty boy directors have skills.
They sure do.
We're on a roll, so how about one more big project?
I always thought the city should provide gas service.
What do you think?
That won't work.
The satellite plants will cost too much.
It's not commercially viable, so no company...
So we'll have to convince them.
Tell me it might be difficult, but don't tell me it's impossible.
I have faith in your abilities.
Let's give it our best.
Tell them it's a public service, and that it's not about money.
If the city gas doesn't work, they can start with the countryside.
Play hardball, okay?
The mayor says to play hardball.
You played hardball when you resigned as a group.
Let's end the meeting here for today.
Assembly Joh wants a report on the state of the city.
Oh my, that's funny.
If he wants to know, he should come here
why do I have to go?
A mayor doesn't have to answer to an assemblyman...
I don't think it's something to fight over.
He is the district's assemblyman so you should pay him a visit.
Fine.
I'll give him a report on this meeting.
As for the public hospital
I'll report again after the council's approval...
As for the agricultural leasing and meal programs...
As soon as the budget is passed...
We plan on moving rapidly.
And as for the public gas service...
It won't be easy, but we plan to push it through.
You're tackling too much.
How will you pay for it?
I plan to ask the province to add some funding
to what we saved from scrapping relocation...
If that's not enough?
I'll ask the province for more.
By the way, is the provincial government far from here?
Use the city vehicle and have the driver take you.
Oh, then where in provincial hall do I go?
There's an info desk in the lobby.
Tell the clerk that you're Inju's mayor and you want funding.
Oh...
Report to me on the state of the city once a day.
Without sending anyone else. You have to come yourself.
I can't come if I'm busy.
Come.
I'll send for a report.
Otherwise, I'll go to see you for the report.
Is a mayor supposed to report to you everyday?
Of course.
Give me a break.
You think I'm free all the time?
Voila, your present.
This is easy on your eyes.
I'm giving this to you so you don't complain and keep busy.
Give me a hug, and I'll work hard.
Hey you're crazy, we're in the office.
You didn't say anything until now.
Were we in a room before and not an office?
How can you just run away like that in the morning?
- Assemblyman... - Mayor...
All of our proposals were rejected by the council.
Photos of you two in the hotel suite have been leaked.
Victory Party members all voted against it.
They'll be all over the papers in the morning.

An article about me and the mayor will be published.
Protect her for me.
Aren't you going to make up your mind?
So you told BB that you'd dump me?
Tell your father to support me for the presidency.
So what's your relationship to him?
Why are you worried about him?
I wish you wouldn't hate him so much.
He's my father.
You insist on causing trouble?
Subtitles ripped by www.vikisubtitle.com It means you raised your child wrong, sir.
