Episode 1
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the Prime Minister's banquet.
Ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming to the Prime Minister's banquet.
Please welcome the 45th Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea.
Now, here comes the 45th Prime Minister of Republic of Korea.
Mr. Kwon Yool.
Also, please welcome the Prime Minister's wife, Madame Nam Da Jung.
And his wife, Nam Da Jung. Please welcome.
The upright and honest Prime Minister that the whole country loves.
My husband, Kwon Yool.
But to me, he is very cold.
And very violent.
A man that is appallingly cold.
The start of this ridiculous wedding contract began...
[Two months ago]
- You're so pretty! Can you sign this for me? - Me too.
- You're so pretty. - Thanks for singing.
The head of the office... had something to say to me.
The prime minister nominee... has not passed his confirmation hearing for the third time.
This time, with a desperate feeling.
The President is planning on an unprecedented appointment.
- An unprecedented appointment? - Since the revolution of Korea.
As the youngest prime minister...
Please accept the position of prime minister.
How strange.
I swear they said Hyun Hee came in here.
Got you!
Thank you for making such a difficult decision.
Until the official statement has been released by the Blue house...
please keep it confidential. Excuse me then.
I will see him off.
Oh, good.
A little bit more! A little bit more. Just a little bit more.
Perfect. Yes!
What was that just now?
What is this?
With whose permission are you taking pictures?
- Are you reporter? - Yes, I'm a reporter.
I'm a little busy right now. Can you please be quiet and leave?
Not until you erase my picture.
I wasn't taking pictures of you.
Give me my camera!
I don't know how you found out.
Until it's officially announced by the Blue House, you're restricted.
- I hope you comply. - Blue... Blue House?
Just what are you talking about? Give me my camera!
Wait.
Do you... make a living by taking these kind of pictures?
Who cares what kind of pictures I take. What's it to you?
You must not be ashamed of living off of other people's private lives?
Pitiful. Pitiful.
What?
Pitiful?
You rude old man!
But he seems really familiar.
Hey! Stay where you are!
[Kwon Yool to begin his official duties as the prime minister elect.]
He started his work by receiving a report from the national assembly.
Selected as the youngest prime minister, this is unprecedented.
- The response of the citizens is hot. - Turn it off.
I never thought... that the President would choose Kwon Yool.
We thought you would be the one, sir.
Instead of a sniper, a fire fighter is needed in this situation.
In a situation where three prime minister nominee's have fallen short.
They probably thought a commoner was a lot better than a conglomerate.
Judging by the reactions of the opposing parties...
I don't think he will have a problem in passing the confirmation hearings.
Are you sure about that?
A problem can be made.
Do you... understand what I'm saying?
Stick to this guy.
This person!
Finally, the Republic of Korea...
now has a handsome and stylish prime minister as well.
Back in the days as a prosecutor, he was naturally gifted.
And he was widely known for his honest disposition.
After he entered into the national assembly...
with his exceptional service and remarkably good looks...
he is dubbed... as the Lee Byung Hyun of Yeoido.
And among all that prestige, there was a tragedy.
7 years ago, during his time at the Jeju Do branch.
He lost his wife in a car accident.
He rejected recommendations of getting married again.
By raising his three children by himself...
he came to be the most romantic man in the Republic of Korea.
With that...
He was picked as the sexiest politician by female college students!
He was picked as the sexiest politician by celebrities!
Picked as the number one man whom single, middle aged women would like to date!
Picked as the number one man whom married women would like to switch their husband with!
Basically, he's the hottest celebrity out there that women are crazy about, right now.
The new prime minister, Kwon Yool! That's what I'm talking about!
No wonder.
He seemed familiar.
But... what can we ask the politicians?
What... like are they liberal or conservative? Those kind of questions?
That's so old fashioned!
Our Scandal News readers...
aren't interested in politics, life or about the nation.
Our reader's are interested in only one thing!
Seo Hye Joo.
For ten years, she's been the chief secretary for Kwon Yool.
They say she's a college classmate or a kindred spirit of politics and what not.
Is it really true, though?
- You want a scandal! - Exactly!
Da Jung, go and start digging.
- I don't want to! - Then forget it!
Instead, I'm going to deduct all the process fees from your wages then, all right?
Don't be so hasty.
I'll do it. I'll just do it!
Hello. My name is Kwon Yool.
At a difficult time, I have accepted a difficult position.
I won't forget the expectations of the citizens as well as ours.
I can only tell you that I will do my best.
Are all political press conferences like this?
Did you give up the Jejudo branch knowing that you'd be nominated as the prime minister?
What do you think about the President's direct approach and his cabinet?
Do you plan on getting married again?
What did you just say?
I... was just wondering if you had any plans of getting married again.
Where are you from?
- My name is Nam Da Jung from Scandal News. - Scandal News?
Reporter Nam Da Jung.
What do you think politics is?
Politics?
Politics are... it's....
By definition.
It is to help society understand an idea which leads to the government's policy and purpose.
In reality...
it's a vicious, backstabbing, all or nothing contest.
But...
Where do my plans of getting married again...
fit in with the nation's politics and purpose?
Is this... a good enough answer?
Seriously... nice work.
Just go chase celebrities. Why would someone from Scandal News be here?
- That's what I want to know. - So frustrating!
What's their problem?
That doesn't mean I'm going to give up.
You can't talk to the reporters like that. It will cause trouble.
You were like that too with the bureaucrats earlier. If you're too straight with them...
It's not my style to laugh and cater to people.
But I swear I've seen that female reporter somewhere.
- Pardon? - Oh, it's nothing.
Until it's official, you'll get the reports at the temporary office.
After you've passed the hearings, you can go to work at the government building.
Your bodyguards will start then too.
By the way, what about the task director?
I told the candidates to come to the temporary office.
All you need to do is meet them and decide.
Look, young lady.
Just how far are you going to follow me?
Excuse me?
Were you talking to me?
Do you know me?
I remember now.
You're the reporter that asked about my...
Who cares what kind of pictures I take. What's it to you?
Wait.
You...
saw me yesterday, too.
You know?
Busted.
Don't you know you can't follow us like this?
What's your reason for following us like this?
Well... that's because...
Interview!
- I would like an interview. - Interview?
Yes.
Fine. Then get in.
- Excuse me? - You said you wanted an interview!
I'll give you one so get in.
Really? You're really going to, right?
My name is Nam Da Jung from Scandal News.
I never thought you would easily give me an interview like this, Prime Minister.
I'm not the prime minister yet.
- I'm the deputy. - Pardon?
Deputy Prime Minister Kwon you mean?
Yes, Deputy. Of course.
Deputy... sperm?
It sounds so weird!
I think it would be better if I just call you Prime Minister. It's in the bag, anyways.
Then I'll start the questions.
What are you doing right now?
You smell so good. What kind of cologne do you use, Prime Minister?
I don't.
You must like the color blue.
Is there a certain brand that you like?
Before that, your sense of style is impeccable. Who's your coordinator?
Do you dress yourself, Prime Minister?
Or... by any chance....
That person?
Absurd!
Look... do you call that a question?
You followed me just to ask those kinds of questions?
Of course not.
But it's not like I can outright ask
if there's something going on between you and Manager Seo.
Yes!
To get to know you, Prime Minister, I guess you can say these are warm up questions.
Then let me ask you a question too.
Aren't you... curious to know where we're going right now?
Pardon?
Let go of me!
What did I do so wrong that you had to drag me to the police station?
You don't know what you did wrong?
Ah, did I interfere with a government official's duties?
Is that what you're trying to put me in jail for?
Sorry to say this, but you're only a deputy prime minister.
So it's not established as a crime.
Maybe a traffic violation?
Shouldn't the police personally be at the site to catch the suspect directly?
She's a stalker.
Kang In Ho.
Placed second in the national college entrance exam.
Graduated from Seoul University. Ranked second.
Ranked second for the government entrance exam.
This is quite interesting.
Instead of first place, why were you always placed second?
If you place first, you have to give an interview.
I'm not very photogenic.
What was your reason for volunteering?
At first, I was waiting until someone would take notice...
but an opportunity to be elected didn't come easily.
- That's why I ended up volunteering. - Is that all?
I'll be honest with you.
A pretty boy, prime minister...
If you're just dancing to someone else's tune... then I'll pass. However.
If that's not the case... then I want to help you.
Just as there was Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei...
As was Sima Yi to Cao Cao.
Zhuge Liang, you say?
But what can we do?
I have no desire to become Liu Bei.
I have to be Zhuge Liang, not you.
A Zhuge Liang that can support the President.
- What I need is Zhuge Liang's fan. - You mean the furred fan?
- That's not bad. - The transferring of your duties...
How long will it take?
I already took care of it.
Get working right away.
How did it go?
Of course, I passed.
From now on, will you be my supervisor?
It's an honor to have such a beautiful boss.
Are you... really fine with that person?
He's not bad.
Why?
Is there something that bothers you?
No, sir.
This Scandal News...
From now on, don't let them in.
Mister! Mister! What are you doing? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
Let go of me!
What is this?
Bear in mind... from now on, Scandal News cannot enter.
How can you do this?
Why are you taking my right away as a reporter?
This is suppression of the press... No! Isn't this discrimination among the press?
Hey! How can you pursue a story looking like that?
Aren't you embarrassed?
Don't talk to me like we're friends.
My name is Byun Ho Chul from Koryo Ilbo.
How can you go around trying to get a political story when you don't even know who I am?
Stop embarrassing our profession.
- Hurry up and get lost. - What?
Are you done talking? Huh? Are you done?
What's wrong with this woman?
- You have more to say? - Hurry and take this woman away!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
You jerks!
What's with all the ruckus?
That female reporter from Scandal News tried to sneak in, so we kicked her out.
Goodness, she's tenacious.
Just what in the world does she want?
It's been a while.
Hye Joo... you haven't aged a bit.
Then and now, you're still the same.
I'd appreciate it if you would call me as Manager Seo.
Minister Park Joon Ki.
Being around each other so long, are you two starting to take after each other?
That's the way you talk, right?
Manager Seo, step outside.
What's your reason for coming here?
My brother-in-law has become the prime minister. Wouldn't it be weird if I didn't?
I'm just simply here to congratulate you.
Are you sure it's not a declaration of war?
A mere minister going up against a prime minister?
Does that even make sense?
I don't know about anyone else, but with you it's possible.
However, I don't want to fight with you.
I mean it.
If you don't want to fight, then resign.
- Joon Ki! - My sister died a horrible death.
You think I'm just going to stand by and watch you strut around as the prime minister?
Do you still think Na Young died because of me?
Well isn't it?
For the sake of my niece and nephews, I came here to give you one last warning.
Announce your resignation at the confirmation hearing.
And if I refuse?
You will regret it.
Yes! A godori as well!
Then Dad, you have a pi bak and gwang bak.
Go! Go three!
You vicious thing!
It's useless raising a daughter!
By the way...
Do you by any chance... still...
have me down as 'my honey' on your phone?
Why not? It chases all those nasty dung flies away.
- You wench! How will you get a man then? - Dad!
I'm so popular with the men that I'm troubled by it!
Look at my beautiful face. Do you think men will leave me alone?
Then among those punks, bring one with you.
Hey! Your mom's coming.
Honey. Why did you come now? Our Da Jung is here.
Sit down.
Ms. Da Jung, you're here.
Hello, Doctor.
How is my dad doing?
I think he has adjusted now.
Right? He's calculating well with the go-stop game and I think he's gotten a lot better.
I'll be honest with you.
You don't get better with Alzheimer's.
We want to make sure that he can maintain his current condition as long as possible.
Hey, where is your mom going now again?
She should be thinking about getting you married.
Dad, why do you keep insisting I get married?
Wench! Have you ever listened to anything that I have told you?
In high school, all you ever did was follow that rascal Kang Ta around.
In college, you just went on strikes.
Constantly going in and out of the police station.
All right! I got it. Stop what you're doing and drink this.
I'm not joking.
Da Jung.
My wish... is to hold your hand and walk you down the aisle.
Can you do that for me?
All right. I'll get married.
- Sounds good? - You should've said so in the first place.
Ow... why does it feel so sore here?
Give me a massage here.
Put some strength to it.
Dad... I'm really sorry.
But I can't grant you your wish.
I'm just going to be by your side instead of getting married.
Still, is that okay?
My sister died so tragically.
Do you think I'm just going to stand by and watch you strut around as the prime minister?
Do you still think that Na Young died because of me?
Well isn't it?
Look... here.
This is Kwon Woo Ri. He's 15 years old and he's in middle school.
And this is his daughter, Kwon Na Ra. She's 12 years old and in the 5th grade.
And this is the youngest, Kwon Man Se. 7 years old and a kindergartner.
Hey... do I have to bother the kids? Don't you think this is a little harsh?
You're about to get kicked out by the boss, you really want go back with nothing?
Do you think the editor will let it go?
And you call yourself a reporter?
If you don't think you can catch Seo Hye Joo in a compromising situation
shouldn't you at least get something? What does Kwon Yool like to eat?
Which celebrity does he like? At least know if he wears briefs or boxers!
Still, I won't do it!
This is wrong. This is really wrong.
So then what are we suppose to do?
I'll do whatever I can.
Don't worry.
No... no... just look... Da Jung... Da Jung!
This is driving me crazy!
I can't write an article about him eating a melon, chicken legs and beer late at night.
Should I go over his fence?
What are you doing right now?
Are you a Chinese tourist? (In Chinese)
Do you need some help? (In Chinese)
I like Chinese songs so I was just singing, but I'm not Chinese. (In Japanese)
- The Korean scenery is so nice. (In Japanese) - Are you Japanese?
- Yes. - Ah... you're Japanese.
That's weird... instead enjoying the view, it seems you were looking through the trash.
Ah... the style of the trash can is very different from Japan's.
Oh really?
- Yes. - Ah, I see.
You can also speak English very well.
But can you speak Spanish just as well?
Of course... you probably speak our country's language the best.
You're a reporter, right?
I'll go easy on you today but if you continue to do this, it's going to be a problem.
All right.
I'll just leave.
But who are you to tell someone to go or stay?
My name is Kang In Ho. Prime Minister Kwon Yool's task director.
Task director?
Then I'll see you again next time. In the pressroom.
For the sake of my niece and nephews I came here to give you a final warning.
If you don't want to fight then resign.
We've got a huge problem!
- Man Se... has disappeared. - What?
- What happened? - He was at home, having fun after school.
I don't know when he went out but he did!
I looked everywhere that he could possibly go to and I still couldn't find him!
Call the security office and check the cctv.
Check the nearby area, kindergarten and playground all over again.
Yes, I understand.
What am I going to tell the editor?
If I don't have anything to show, he'll throw a fit for sure.
Now what?
Give me more bread!
- I want more bread! - You had four! You're going to get sick!
- Oh my gosh, I'm going crazy! - Give me more bread!
What the heck is that fool Byun Woo Chul doing?
Give me more bread!
- He's... - Okay. Here's the bread, eat it!
Here's the bread, eat it. Go ahead and eat it.
Little rascal. Just how many have you eaten already?
Now that you ate some bread, shouldn't you tell me?
Who is your dad most close to?
It's manager Seo, isn't it? Right?
Why don't you stop now, reporter Byun Woo Chul from Koryo Ilbo!
Who?... You!
Kwon Man Se, don't say a word.
This man is a very bad person!
Why you...
Man, look at the way you're dressed.
As one of our country's leading reporters, you can't get a story like this.
- Just what are you doing to this little kid? - Who are you to get involved?
How I get a story is my business. What's it to you?
It has nothing to do with me...
but I'm pretty sure Man Se's father will want to be involved in it, immensely.
Should I ask him?
Man Se! I was wrong!
Seriously! Unbelievable!
Let's go. I'll take you home.
What's going on?
We've been to every place that he could go but we can't find him.
We... might have to consider kidnapping and think about initiating an investigation.
By any chance, did anyone suspicious come up on the cctv?
There's only a shot of Man Se going out by himself.
Female reporter! There was a female reporter!
- What? - She was about this tall and had big eyes.
She was a weird and very talkative reporter.
By any chance... could it be reporter Nam Da Jung from Scandal News?
It's definitely not a kidnapping.
Tell the police to thoroughly search this area again.
Yes, sir.
That woman might bring Man Se back, so standby.
Yes, I understand.
Man Se, don't ever follow people that you don't know.
Even if they offer to buy something else other than bread, don't follow.
Okay?
Let's go! Your family must be sick with worry.
They don't worry.
There's no one in my family that's worried about me.
They're all busy.
Last time, I went home really late from playing outside. Even then, no one knew.
- Man Se... - But who do you report for, Lady?
Koryo? Shilla? Baek Jae?
I work at a place called Scandal News...
- The paparazzi newspaper for celebs. - What?
Hey, watch what you say. I can't believe the words that are coming out of your mouth.
But...
- You didn't tell anything to that man did you? - I didn't.
My dad told me to never give reporters the time of day.
That's so like your father.
- Hey, then why did you follow that man? - He said he was going to buy me bread.
I can just eat it and not say anything.
- I guess you can say it's a dine and dash. - Dine and dash?
Sure. I guess I worried for nothing.
I want to go the swings before I go!
Hey, Man Se where are you going? Hey!
- Man Se! - Man Se!
- Kwon Man Se! - Man Se!
Man Se!
Kwon Man Se! Man Se!
- Man Se! - Kwon Man Se!
Man Se.
You can't do this right now, you have to hurry and go home.
Buy me bread, Lady. If you buy it for me then I'll go.
You still want some more when you ate so much of it a little while ago?
- Also... I'm not an old lady. - I'm hungry!
- Buy me bread! I want some bread! - Look at you.
This won't do.
In the meantime, let's go home. If you're hungry, eat a meal, okay?
Man Se.
Man Se, why are you like this all of a sudden? Man Se!
Man Se!
Kwon Man Se!
- Man Se! - Man Se!
Where have you been all day?
- Dad. - What have you been doing here?
- Man Se! Are you all right?
Oh dear God! Thank you!
- Thank you, God. - Take Man Se and go home first.
Stay where you are!
I said stay where you are!
Prime Minister.
I think there's been a mistake.
You don't think I kidnapped Man Se, do you?
Ms. Nam Da Jung.
You don't look that smart.
But I don't think you're stupid enough to kidnap a prime minister's son.
Absolutely! You know very well!
- So what happened was... - How long are you going to live like this?
- Excuse me? - You exploit a child to write an article?
Even if you're just some cheap, third rate reporter...
shouldn't there be some integrity with your profession?
Prime Minister... that's not what happened...
What were you hoping to gain by approaching a child?
Just what in the world did you ask?
My favorite color? My favorite celebrity?
Let me say something too. Why won't you listen to what I have to say...
If that wasn't it, then just what did you ask?
Did you ask him if I had a woman?
Or... 'Would you like a step mother?'
If not that, did you ask him if he missed his mom then?
Is that what you asked...
to a seven year old child without his mother?
Are you that despicable?
Let's just drop it. I don't think I can talk to you anymore.
I'm not done talking yet!
- Let go! What's wrong with you? - Listen carefully.
This is your last warning.
If you ever try to curry favor in my area again. I won't be so nice next time.
If you want to continue to live your life as a reporter...
don't ever... show your face in front of me again.
As I've always told you before...
Don't be careless.
You must act respectably.
And be particularly careful of reporters that ask a lot of questions.
Especially you, Kwon Man Se!
I... didn't say anything at all.
I just ate bread.
Bread?
The more I think about it, she's a detestable woman.
- She approached a child that way? - No.
The person who bought me bread was a man.
What?
Then... what about the woman that you were with at the playground?
That lady chased away the man that bought me bread.
She said he was a bad man and told me not to say a word.
Anyways! I'm not going to the prime minister's office!
Even if you put a knife up against my throat, I will never interview that jerk, Kwon Yool!
Just what makes you think you have the luxury of saying no?
- Do you want to get fired? - Fire me! Just fire me then!
What's wrong with her?
I don't know.
Did something happen?
Are you that despicable?
Despicable?
I'm so angry, every time I think about that! Oh my gosh!
Hello?
Yes, it's me.
Hey!
Hey, Scandal News.
Come here.
I admire your spirit, but you're not that smart are you?
Did you come here so you can get dragged out again?
Sorry, but I'm here for an exclusive interview.
You?
With who?
I know it's not Deputy Prime Minister Kwon.
Ah! That security guard? The one that kicked you out?
Reporter Nam Da Jung.
You're here for an interview, right? Deputy Prime Minister Kwon, is waiting for you.
- Please follow me. - Sure!
Well then... please excuse me, as you can see I'm busy.
Let's go.
What is this?
Wow, you said you weren't even going to look at the prime minister's office.
But somehow, you're here.
The Prime Minister wanted an exclusive interview with only Scandal News.
What can I do?
For the sake of our people's right to know. I graciously put aside my personal feelings.
The mind set of a reporter?
That's not bad.
But... why is he suddenly giving me an exclusive interview?
I know. Why would he do that?
Because he feels bad?
Man Se, told him about my mistreatment yesterday, right?
Cute little rascal.
Anyways, I'll accept the Prime Minister's apology.
But that doesn't mean I'll go easy on the interview.
Da Jung, you have to ask that question.
Okay, I will.
Hello, Prime Minister!
How many times do I have to tell you that I'm the deputy...
Forget it. Let's start right away.
Ten minutes for the interview. Ten minutes.
Just a moment.
I did that so you can relax, Prime Minister.
- I was trying to make you laugh. - Stop being funny and start the interview.
Are you two just going to stand there?
I would appreciate it if you two left.
What kind of relationship do you have with, Manager Seo Hye Joo?
I'll ask again.
What kind of relationship do you have with, Manager Seo Hye Joo?
- Why do I have to answer that question? - Because people are curious.
Are you not going to answer?
Or... is it that you can't?
Manager Seo... is my junior from college and she's a loyal secretary.
Is that all there is?
That's all.
As I expected, she's only asking useless questions.
I knew you would roughly say it that way.
Even if I prod, I know you won't answer. I'll just move on to the next question.
What is your favorite food to eat, Prime Minister?
Your favorite food, Prime Minister?
- Ice cream. - Which flavor?
- Vanilla? Strawberry? Chocolate? - I only eat strawberry.
Oh my gosh! Me too! Strawberry does taste good.
What is your alcohol limit? Have you ever been in a drunken frenzy?
- You seem like an obnoxious drunk. - I don't enjoy drinking.
What charming aspect do you think you have?
I never thought about it.
What part of a woman's body do you look at first? The chest?
Why? Is there a designated area that I have to look at first?
I'm sure men are all the same. Who is your favorite singer, Prime Minister?
Kim Kwang Suk.
Oh my gosh! Kim Kwang Suk? I really like him, too!
You and I have similar tastes, Prime Minister.
Are you going to continue to ask these pitiful questions?
There's a theory that you were selected as prime minister to change the political situation.
What are your opinions on that?
Should I ask these obvious political questions?
I know that these questions have been asked 100 times by other reporters.
- If you keep playing word games with me... - No.
Since we don't have time, I'll continue.
What is Man Se's favorite animated movie?
Man Se's favorite animation is...
You must not know.
Then which idol does our country really like?
The name of your closest friend?
What do your children want to be when they grow up?
What are your children's favorite sports?
From what I see, Prime Minister, you have zero points as a father.
You really don't know your children very well.
Well, it happens.
My dad, raised me on his own, so I know.
It's hard raising your children by yourself, isn't it?
But for my dad, it was just me.
Prime Minister, you have three.
- Are you done? - This is the last question.
Up until now, when was the most difficult moment for you?
Prime Minister?
Your ten minutes are up.
Are you done, sir?
- I have something to say to Ms. Nam Da Jung. - Wait!
I'm sorry.
But... what was it that you wanted to say?
You want to apologize about yesterday?
Yeah right.
Don't ever show yourself in front of me again.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Anyways, thank you for the interview today.
This... is a gift from Scandal News.
What is this?
Well... those...
- They're boxers. - No thanks.
I don't wear boxers.
Then you're saying you wear briefs?
Awesome!
- Thank you, Prime Minister. - Look.
Then Director Kang, you can wear this. I'll be on my way now.
Hee Chul, let's go.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Hey! It's briefs!
Finally, I got something!
I swear... that woman.
Are you having fun?
No, sir.
Jackpot! Total jackpot! Da Jung!
Da Jung, from what I see, Prime Minister Kwon is an amateur.
- He doesn't know when to bend. - No, I think he's just being honest.
That person... he's somewhat different from the other politicians.
But I wonder why he couldn't answer?
Up until now, when was the most difficult moment for you?
As you requested, these are the compiled reports from the prime minister's office.
You must have been embarrassed by the childish questions today.
- You didn't have to do that interview. - No.
It wasn't as bad as I thought.
Why don't you go home first?
I'm going to finish up before I leave.
Yes... excuse me then.
Pardon, sir...
What is it?
Nothing.
Right...
This is more than enough.
[Kwon Yool, Head of the Jeju Island Branch, Wife Dies In Car Crash]
Idiot!
Unbelievable. I asked a man that lost his wife when the hardest moment of his life was.
Nam Da Jung, are you out of your mind?
I feel so bad, what am I going to do?
Right. Let's write a good article.
That's the only way.
A prime minister that wears briefs.
No, that's not going to work. No way.
A prime minister that loves strawberry ice cream.
Perfect.
That will be the title.
Da Jung! Da Jung! Da Jung!
Come here! Come here! Come here!
Jackpot! Total jackpot!
Your article has gotten over 500 thousand viewers!
- Really? - Yeah! Look!
From rankings one to ten, it's all about the prime minister!
Hee Chul! This is real, right? I'm not dreaming, right?
Reporter Nam!
- Reporter Nam! - Editor!
Reporter Nam, I was wrong the whole time.
100 percent bonus! No, you can have everything! As much as you want!
I'm begging you! Stay with Scandal News as our head reporter, please?
Reporter Nam!
You're really... a wonderful woman.
Really?
Reporter Nam Da Jung!
I... want to recruit you into the prime minister's office.
I sincerely mean it.
Prime Minister.
What the heck?
It was a dream?
Who is that?
Da Jung!
Da Jung! Da Jung! Da Jung!
Da Jung!
- Da Jung! Open the door! - I'm on my way.
What's going on this morning?
Da Jung!
Da Jung, you're in big trouble.
Why?
I already know! My article was a huge hit, right?
Yeah... it was a total hit! Without a doubt! Look!
[Deputy Prime Minister, Kwon Yool in a Heated Embrace with Lover]
This... this is you, right?
Who on earth did this?
Who's responsible for this ridiculous nonsense?
Right now, Koryo Ilbo is looking into the situation on how this happened.
How is that going to help!
Call the press this instant.
Make sure the article doesn't get fully blown and focus on correcting it.
Isn't that a school uniform?
That checkered design is the same as our school's uniform.
- Really? - It looks like a uniform. Isn't she a minor?
- Kwon Yool and a minor? - How can he kiss a minor on the streets?
- Unbelievable. - No matter how lonely, seriously a minor?
I'm so disappointed in Kwon Yool!
That woman, should I publicize her history as well?
There's no need. The press will take care of it on its own.
Kwon Yool is now done for.
I believe that this is Minister Park Joon Ki's doing.
He's the only person to fabricate something like this.
- Is there proof? - However...
Don't bring it up unless you have proof.
In any case, we need to take care of the rumors that she's a minor.
If we at least publicize her identity...
It's just a matter of time until that happens.
On top of that she's a paparazzi reporter specializing in scandals.
She also had an exclusive interview with the Deputy Prime Minister that was unusual for him.
- So? Why would that be a problem? - If we expose Nam Da Jung...
the other side will twist it into an inappropriate relationship.
- By taking advantage of this scandal. - Does that make any sense right now?
It does make sense. They will make sure that it does.
One way or the other, people are not interested in the truth.
If that's the case, then there's only one way.
We'll make it so that Nam Da Jung was bought off by Minister Park Joon Ki.
And that this was all a scheme.
We'll actively respond, face to face.
There's no other solution than exposing that Nam Da Jung
was scheming with Minister Park Joon Ki.
There's no time, please give us your permission.
We can't do that.
I won't allow it.
If we let it continue like this, the confirmation hearing won't be the problem.
- Your political career will be over! - Still, you can't do it.
No means no.
I can't do that to that woman, just so I can live.
I'm going to pretend that I never heard what you said.
Why are you all shocked by something so insignificant?
Report Byun, just how did you get a story like this?
Who is this woman?
- Reporter Byun, you know who it is, right? - I do.
I know, but I can't tell you.
What crime did this woman commit? Right?
Well then everyone... have a good day.
- Reporter Byun. - Tell us!
Man, why couldn't they give me the identity of the woman as well?
Why is that Scandal News reporter going about like that again?
So pathetic.

Deputy Prime Minister Kwon Yool and I... love each other!
And we first met...
Why do I have to sit here and do these stupid things?
- What is the Prime Minister's number? - Why do you want to know?
- Honey! - Woman are you crazy right now?
I can't believe I have to introduce this woman as my lover to the whole country.
Do you think a person like this has the right to be a Prime Minister?
You ask how we met?
Trying to protect the woman I love was the only thing that I could do.
Prime Minister! A hotel?
If we're going to do this let's do it right. - I really don't think this is right.
Where are you running off to? There's no need to be afraid.
Prime Minister!
