(Deputy Director Seo Gong Myung, Council Secretariat, April 13, 2020)
How come...
- What happened? - What happened?
Who knows if you don't know?
I wouldn't know.
Why am I being sent to the council secretariat?
I would know even less.
Garden Tiger Moth Se Ra's now a district representative,
so I thought we at the service center could relax.
Why do you have to end up at the council secretariat?
What's wrong with the council secretariat?
The people there must serve the district representatives.
As if they're your masters.
Poor you. Shall I walk you over?
Shall I see you off?
I'm not a child.
No.
You've been lost for quite a while already.
Let's go.
Let's go, you big boy. This way.
- But... - Let's go.
Yeo Reum, it's time to eat.
Are you hungry? Are you?
(Message from Goo Se Ra)
(Goo Se Ra)
Yeo Reum, look. Who is this?
Look. Aunt Se Ra is here...
and she's here too.
Look.
(Office of Mawon-gu District Representative Goo Se Ra)
(Status of 8th Mawon-gu District Representatives)
(District L, Goo Se Ra, Lee Eun Tae)
(Into The Ring)
It's me.
I was suddenly appointed to the council secretariat today.
Do you have something to do with this?
I don't know what you mean.
I have no rights in your personnel appointments.
Okay.
Min Jae.
Instead of preparing for meetings in the morning,
there's something you need to do now.
Man, who would have imagined?
From working part-time at the service center shortly...
to being nominated as the district representative? My gosh.
Of course I know Se Ra is diligent and kind.
But if you think of it that way...
If you think of it that way,
should I make my wife run for office too?
As a candidate who's raising several children.
Are you jealous?
I'm just saying.
I'm not jealous,
but Se Ra probably didn't know she'd get nominated either.
Sir, I knew I would get nominated.
Did you?
She heard you.
Se Ra,
I mean, Ms. Goo.
How much did you hear?
I was just explaining in detail...
what a diligent and kind person you are.
I think I picked up hearing that part.
Nice, how nice of you.
What are you doing?
Here you go.
(Seoul Mawon-gu District Representative Goo Se Ra)
Do I have to sign an employment contract or something?
You're not a mere employee.
You're a district representative, Ms. Goo.
I think young kids use this type of term nowadays.
"Goo-goo, Goo-goo".
Goo-goo.
Was it 80, or 81?
What time do I have to get off work?
Well, it's not actually fixed.
They just go home after their meetings.
Then...
when do I receive my paycheck?
It's...
It's the 20th of each month.
It's the same for all of us.
Why don't you show her around the building?
Oh, someone...
Someone called earlier...
and said he'd come to show you around.
Who?
Hello.
District Representative...
Goo Se Ra.
The council secretariat is on the first floor,
and on the second floor are the chairperson's office,
vice chairperson's office, meeting room,
and district representatives' offices.
And the Main Chamber is on the third floor.
You've been there before, right?
Yes, as you know.
You know, this orientation you're doing right now.
You didn't volunteer to do this, did you?
Of course not.
Of course I knew you wouldn't have.
Someone probably ordered you to do it again.
What?
There are many people watching and listening.
Please be careful, Ms. Goo.
There's no one.
I don't see anyone.
There's no one, no one, no one.
No matter how much I think about it,
I can't understand how you were nominated.
What can't you understand?
It was the wise choice of the people of Mawon-gu.
And stop thinking of me that way.
I don't like it at all.
Is it this way?
You can use that desk.
Since this was a by-election,
your predecessor Mr. Yang will be appointed...
to the Welfare Construction Committee.
I'll call the secretariat...
and tell them to clear out Mr. Yang's things.
You should go and work.
Since you're so busy every day and all.
And since this is a workplace,
let's treat each other professionally.
"Hey."
Is not allowed in our dictionary. Okay?
Darn it!
How could my ex-boyfriend...
show me around on my first day at work?
What if we bump into each other every day?
Darn it.
(Mawon-gu, Yang Nae Sung)
(Yang Nae Sung)
Is this similar to starting work right away...
without receiving training from my predecessor?
I guess so.
Since you were appointed and all, we have no choice.
But we're baffled by this sudden appointment as well.
For now, you can work in the Secretariat Team.
You can learn while helping out Yong Gyu.
Your rank will be irrelevant to your work.
- Get to work. - Okay, thank you.
I better go to prepare for the meeting.
You have to go with me.
(Mawon-gu District Assembly, Current Attendance)
(District Representative Goo Se Ra)
If no one is opposed, this bill will be passed...
Wait.
Don't do it.
That jerk.
I wonder how surprised he was.
I guess he returned to the service center.
Shall I ask him if he can have lunch today?
Watch the threshold.
What is he doing here?
- You have to go around. - Okay.
- Stop looking at me. - Were you kicked out again?
Stop asking questions.
I wonder if our rookie will be okay.
Why?
You know, since it won't be easy...
to adapt to the other representatives.
You should keep that in mind.
Okay.
- Sir, you look great today. - Hi.
Thanks.
I'm here today.
- You made it today. - Yes.
You've been absent too many times. I'm watching you.
- Yes, sir. - My gosh.
Mr. Cho Maeng Duk.
A real estate magnate and third-term representative...
who grew up in the district.
He stepped down as the chairperson, but he still holds power.
He has influence over the chief.
You know the rice soup we had this afternoon?
- You know that restaurant? - They serve good cartilage soup...
- and suyuk. It's really good. - The pig stomach is good there.
- Carp and chicken soup and that. - Seriously. I should've gone there.
- Come on. - My gosh.
- Gosh. - Nice to see you.
Shim-Jang-Si.
These three representatives always move in a trio.
They survive here by pleasing Mr. Cho.
My goodness. Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Go. - My gosh.
- Hello. - Hi.
- My gosh. - It's been so long.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
- Gosh. - You look great now.
You guys look great too.
Vice Chairperson Go Dong Chan.
He took over the district after his dad.
He was born with a silver spoon.
He doesn't work at all,
but he only uses social media to do politics and gets paid.
Ms. Yoon. My gosh.
It's nice to see you.
Ms. Yoon. It's been a while.
Ms. Yoon Hee Su.
She's the prettiest lawyer...
and a mentor for the youth.
Her beauty is indescribable.
Gosh.
- Hello. - Hi.
You're all here on time.
(Bong Chu San, Together Progressive Party)
I see. I know Mr. Bong.
He was a former journalist in the 80s.
He's an elite politician...
who served as a representative and a minister in the 90s.
- Right? - But...
he's a toothless tiger now.
Now, he's just an old fart.
Other representatives feel uncomfortable around him.
He's almost an outcast.
Everyone is here? My gosh.
Well, how is Mr. Heo?
Gosh, how should I put it?
He's like a mole the chief planted.
Thanks to that, he still has his position.
But he has no presence.
- Right? - I'm free, you know.
I can join you.
- My gosh. - Really?
- Come on. You're doing that? - Yes.
- Just a bit. - That's right.
- Didn't you know? - What are you talking about?
- Exactly. - Right.
My gosh.
Oh, dear. We have another outcast.
- Where? - Where did you get it?
- You can easily find it. - Where?
Come on.
Okay, fine.
- Sure. - You can totally get one too.
How have you been?
Before we start our meeting,
I would like to introduce to you a newly elected member...
for the Manwon-gu District Assembly. Here's our new colleague, Goo Se Ra.
Where...
Introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm Goo Se Ra.
I'm looking forward to working with you.
(Si Dan Gyu, Jang Ha Woon)
Mr. Go.
Start the meeting now.
Yes, sir.
Sit down!
All right. The 279th meeting...
of the Mawon-gu District Assembly...
will commence now.
We will introduce today's agendas based on our schedule.
Did you bring in...
Deputy Director Seo to the District Assembly?
I didn't bring him in.
I just picked him up because no one would take him.
I talked to Chief Won So Jung...
and asked her to send more council secretariats.
My son ought to do more than menial jobs.
You want me to wash the dishes?
Why would we do that?
Then, who else would do this? We don't have a dishwasher.
But cleaning up after the representatives...
is not a council secretariat's duty.
No, that's pretty much it.
We are supposed to help and support them...
to proceed with their tasks. In other words, we do PMSW.
We print, make copies, serve, and wash dishes.
I came up with that phrase.
All right.
Wash them three times, wipe them, and put them here.
Some representatives are sensitive about hygiene.
All right. Bye.
But compared to the service center, we work late less.
Good luck!
Gosh.
Darn it.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E07 'Into the Ring / Memorials' "Se Ra's First Day at Work" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
I'm back.
Oh, dear. We have another outcast.
Gosh, I can smell the rubber gloves. Darn it.
Let's just focus on my work.
I didn't get hired to make friends.
Gosh, forget it. I need to worry about myself.
("Each Representative Proposes 0.9 Ordinance on Average")
Per month or per year?
They only propose 0.9 ordinances over 1 year?
This is unbelievable.
I'll easily meet the average number.
(Goo Se Ra)
I do need allies.
Shall I make a traditional approach?
Mr. Go.
What?
Will there be a welcome party for me?
A party?
I see. A party. We ought to do that.
We should have one.
Let me ask when everyone is available.
And I'll send you a text message.
I'll be waiting.
(Go Dong Chan: Welcome party for Goo Se Ra, tonight at 7 p.m.)
Hey!
If you're eating alone, can you sit with her?
No, I'd rather eat alone.
It's a lunch rush.
I'll move to his table.
Can you? Thank you.
Young man,
do you not have anyone to eat with?
Look who's talking.
Se Ra, no one shook your hands today.
That's why I extended my hand first again.
There's a welcoming party for me tonight.
I bet you're the only one who loves having get-togethers.
Are you all right?
I mean,
you have to keep bumping into Chairman Cho.
He has no influence over me.
None at all.
Why...
What about me?
- What about me? - What about you?
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Enjoy your meal.
Don't I have some influence over you?
Let's rekindle our friendship.
We joined at the same time.
Does one date make us colleagues?
No one thinks so. Just you do.
We can both think so.
We can eat together.
- Yes. I'll... - No, no.
That won't happen.
This will be the first...
and last time we eat together.
I don't think so.
I'll have meat for dinner,
so I should have a light lunch.
Just a little.
My gosh.
(Reservation: Mawon-gu District Assembly, Goo Se Ra and 12 others)
(7:40 p.m.)
It can't be.
Grown men wouldn't pull such a childish prank.
It can't be. It won't be.
Eight o'clock.
Thank you.
Thanks. I really enjoyed that.
Shall we go another round?
(Calling Go Dong Chan)
My gosh.
She's full of self-love, but she's so slow.
She should know by now that we won't be there.
She'll now know where she stands now, right?
She won't cling to us, will she?
Such a meddlesome person...
should be put in their place from the start.
Do you think someone stupid went there?
- No way. - We'll move onto the side plank.
Come on.
She wouldn't call me if that were so.
All of us are on the same page.
I didn't even mention it to Mr. Cho and Bong.
Let's turn to the other side.
My goodness.
It's 90 dollars per portion.
The total is 1,170 dollars.
- A single payment? - 1,170 dollars?
Yes.
A three-month...
No, a six-month installment, please.
Wait, wait. Sorry.
There's no added interest, right?
Seriously?
Another failed social interaction.
(1,170 dollars)
1,170 dollars?
It's burning.
Burning my soul.
I wish life came in installments too. Don't you?
Just how monthly installments...
are payments divided into months.
I wish all our emotions...
would come to us a little at a time.
That way, I could be prepared.
What's the difference? The total is still the same.
Did something happen at the dinner?
Grade A++ Korean beef.
You spent that much even before your first salary?
Life has no installments,
but this does.
Will you buy some?
What?
You'll buy some?
No, not that.
I think you should come too.
Where?
(Rest in peace)
(Dongshin Bank)
- Gosh. - Welcome.
If you are visually impaired,
please insert your earphones into the socket.
Follow the instructions to make a transaction.
Darn it. Why should I do something like this?
Hey, it's worth 1,170 dollars...
(ATM)
Be gentle.
Goodness, 1,170 dollars. I'm about to memorize the price.
Select the service you...
How about a pack of beef at a special price of 100 dollars?
Hang on.
1,170 dollars for 13 packs means...
a pack costs 90 dollars.
You're trying to make 10 dollars in this situation?
How much should I give at the funeral...
of a predecessor I never met?
My goodness.
(Youngsoo High School Alumni)
He'll be in a better place.
Go ahead. Show your respect.
She won the recent by-election.
Her name is Goo Se Ra.
She replaced your late husband.
I see.
Thank you for coming.
(Rest in peace)
Oh, it's been a while since we met.
You've been well, I hope?
What's going on?
What's this?
I thought you missed dinner for this.
I was wrong.
How did you find out?
I was too preoccupied to contact you.
Why come here when you're not welcome?
As if his family would be pleased to see you.
A young girl got lucky...
and happened to win Mr. Yang's seat.
We don't like random newcomers ourselves.
Although Mr. Yang's reputation was tarnished...
toward the end because of the bribery charges,
- even so... - What?
"Bribery charges"?
My goodness. Don't do this.
- Oh, dear. - Stop him.
Help!
- Stop it. - Move!
My brother was a police officer for 20 years.
- Stop it. - Darn you!
Hey. Seo Gong Myung.
Hey!
- Seo Gong Myung! - Get them apart!
I'm over here.
Hey.
My brother would obey any law,
and someone else framed him!
Darn you!
I just repeated a rumor.
I didn't say anything wrong.
Let go of me.
Hey!
Grab my hand.
Who are you to say that?
How dare you speak ill of my brother?
My goodness.
Are they okay?
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
You don't know anything about my brother!
I just repeated a rumor.
I'm allowed to repeat what I heard.
How could you say such a thing?
Help me up.
That hurts.
Let him go.
Darn it.
Call the police.
Darn you.
Are you all right?
No.
Darn it. Darn it all.
I'm so frustrated.
It's so frustrating.
(Mawon-gu Office)
I gave you time to find a way,
and this is it?
This is the only way.
You're saying I must go through the district assembly?
And grovel at that?
This is exactly what that young jerk said was going to happen, right?
So, I'm wrong?
It's not that you were wrong.
Deputy Director Seo Gong Myung accurately foresaw...
Are you teasing me right now?
Mawon-gu's Chief Won sent this,
saying it's an urgent matter.
(Plan to issue municipal bonds to pay...)
(for new city development and labor costs)
To pay for the new city development...
and the labor costs that are currently in arrears,
we must issue municipal bonds...
to keep the project afloat.
The amount we need is...
(Se Ra's first paycheck: Tax, to Mom, rent)
30 million dollars.
30 million dollars isn't a frivolous sum.
"30 million dollars"?
Mr. Bong.
Please ask for the floor before you say anything.
Ever since Won So Jung became chief,
Mawon-gu's finances rapidly worsened.
Out of the 26 districts of Seoul,
Mawon-gu is the only one to get a Level Five rating!
"Level Five"?
Temporary measures...
won't solve our current problems.
Every budget for the Administration Division...
was voted for and passed by our district assembly.
Every project managed by the Administration Division...
is audited by our district assembly.
Mr. Bong, are you saying that...
in the past three years,
Mawon-gu's district assembly did not do its job properly?
Mawon-gu's district assembly...
just writes down what the Administration Division wants!
What did you do to prevent our current situation,
where that's all we can do, Mr. Bong?
Calm down, gentlemen.
We'll take a 30-minute break.
- My gosh. - What a mess.
What'll happen this time?
Let's go already.
How will this go?
30 million dollars?
30 million dollars.
If it's down to a vote, Aeguk Conservative Party...
will all say yes.
Yes.
- Of course. - Of course we say yes.
- Yes. - Yes.
Issuing municipal bonds isn't the solution.
Our Together Progressive Party...
must vote against it.
- Of course. - We'll vote no.
That's right.
For the vote to go our way,
we need seven to say yes.
(Yes)
(No)
It's down to the last vote.
One person.
The independent representative.
(Motion to issue municipal bonds)
It's urgent?
We'll resume the session.
This is an important issue,
and I'm so glad that everyone is present.
Whose seat is empty? Whose seat is that?
It's...
It's Ms. Goo Se Ra's seat.
Goo Se...
This is crazy.
Find out where she went.
Ms. Goo Se Ra?
- Where did she go? - She's crazy.
- She's... - Find her.
Let's go.
We must find her.
Where did she go?
Where are you...
Oh, dear. Where is she?
Where did she go?
Where is she?
Will you find her already?
Did you send the photo saying it's an urgent matter?
You're the Queen of Complaints.
You can solve this, then.
Yes.
I hoped to attend all my meetings,
but I left during one especially for this.
Where is it?
Behind you. It's really dangerous.
My gosh.
I can do this!
- You can do this! - You can do this!
(Snack orders, Aeguk Conservative Party)
(Water, cold burdock tea, persimmon leaf tea, coffee...)
(Together Progressive Party, cake, bread, apples, mixed nuts)
What's this?
The representatives expect us...
to bring what they want before they ask for it.
An urgent session was called.
We'll serve the Aeguk Conservative Party people first,
then the Together Progressive Party.
We must do this too?
I also didn't know...
I'd be peeling fruit after graduating university.
If I'd known, I'd have focused on home economics and...
My goodness.
(Goo Se Ra)
That was close.
Is Goo Se Ra conservative or progressive?
She doesn't have a political opinion.
She never joined a political party...
or made donations to any.
Look at how messy her resume is.
Young people these days never persevere.
The people who voted for this silly girl are a problem too.
You know, we could've been hoodwinked.
- What? - From the start,
Together Progressive Party pretended to support Candidate 2,
then got Goo Se Ra elected.
So we'd let our guard down?
Exactly.
No wonder. What a plan.
Let's win her over with something a woman her age would like.
I know what Ms. Goo's hobby is.
(District Representative Goo Se Ra)
Making complaints was fulfilling,
but solving them is fulfilling too.
It's not bad.
I wasn't so useless today.
I earned my keep today.
Han Bi.
It's today.
The day we stuff ourselves with meat.
Let's get ready.
(Go Dong Chan)
I doubt she'll answer.
Your joke on Ms. Goo was a bit too harsh.
- The person you have reached... - How can no one go...
to her own welcome party?
Of course I couldn't go due to a prior appointment.
How could you do something so immature?
You should be ashamed.
You should sincerely apologize first.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Goo is probably upset with everyone...
regarding her welcoming party.
In a way,
you can consider that we're all at the same starting point.
I know someone who can help regarding Ms. Goo's issue.
I'll meet Ms. Goo myself and persuade her.
Ms. Goo? Where are you?
It's Yoon Hee Su.
Yes, I know the place. I'll head over right away.
I knew she'd receive her friend's phone call.
But still, how could you rummage through my contacts?
I didn't rummage.
I pressed contacts, and she was on the top.
You even saved her name as Goo Se Ra.
- Can you lend it to me once more? - Wait.
This is my number.
I see.
I heard you left during the meeting today...
and went to pick a pumpkin.
Did you hear the agenda before you left?
About passing a bill for the municipal bond.
Yes, roughly.
You're talking about the 30 million dollars, right?
The voting will take place in two days.
You can agree, disagree, or abstain.
Let me cut to the chase.
The Together Progressive Party hopes you can...
disagree or abstain from the voting.
- Why? - So the issuance...
of the municipal bond will be rejected.
You represent...
the position of ordinary residents, right?
A municipal bond is eventually...
a debt that will be paid back through the residents' taxes.
Well, I guess.
A debt? That sounds bad.
Then...
I guess you won't be agreeing at least. That's good enough.
What was that all about?
(Congratulations)
I don't know. Who is Representative Shim...
and Representative Jang?
The chief even sent a flower basket.
Is it okay to accept stuff like these?
I even got some dried corvinas.
Should I put it in the kimchi refrigerator for now?
- The installation is complete. - Thank you.
Hurry on home.
(From the Aeguk Conservative Party to Goo Se Ra, a child at heart)
Cho Maeng Duk and that old man were fighting earlier...
over 30 million dollars or something.
And suddenly,
both sides are starting to call me, treating me nice.
"This is Mr. Shim. How about lunch tomorrow"?
You're like a leftover.
Both sides are tied right now.
- And... - There's one person left!
And that's me.
Goo Se Ra.
Great.
Bravo.
Since you are the youngest district representative...
being born in 1992,
you represent the positions of the youth...
and you also have various work experience.
With that being said...
I'll do it.
The reason we came to see you...
The reason we came to see you, Ms. Goo...
You want me to agree?
Yes.
What will you do for me if I do?
Well...
Even when we help someone briefly at work,
we exchange mobile gifts with each other.
Isn't life all about giving and taking?
Well, that's...
(Ms. Yoon Hee Su)
Well, I hope you think about it carefully...
and make a quick decision.
- Thank you for the food. - Wait.
- Wait, Ms. Goo. - Ms. Goo.
Ms. Goo.
Why didn't you say anything?
- What on earth? - What do we do?
(Room J)
I can eat, I can do it.
(Room O)
First of all,
I think there was a misunderstanding regarding the welcoming party...
I'm sorry.
What? I can't hear you.
What? A squid?
I'd like to apologize on his behalf.
Did you think about the motion to issue municipal bonds?
Did you make up your mind?
I thought about it.
But if I disagree,
what can you promise me?
You can think about it while I order.
She didn't give a definite answer to both sides...
and is just using them for her personal interest?
Release a short article about...
the possibility of Mawon-gu's fiscal bankruptcy.
If the article is released,
the importance of Ms. Goo's role may be even more emphasized...
That's why I want to release it.
This stone can only take one step forward anyway.
The direction is already decided.
(Message from Mr. Shim Jang Yang)
Aeguk Conservative Party suggests...
a position as a Yeouinaru policy researcher,
a member of the National Unification Advisory Council,
and a consultant of the Mawon Senior Citizens Association.
Together Progressive Party promises...
to provide our full support for your ordinances on...
helping children and women to be passed.
Why is it so hard to digest...
all that expensive beef?
(Pharmacy)
Chronic gastritis...
is mainly due to your diet and stress.
Don't forget and take them after your meals.
Thank you.
Hey.
- That jerk. - Sorry?
It's nothing.
Ma'am, I'm suffering from indigestion.
I had too much for dinner.
I think the food is piled up all the way here.
It's indigestion due to overeating.
Yes.
That will be a dollar.
(Pharmacy)
Chronic gastritis?
You need to eat regularly for your stomach to work properly.
Indigestion due to overeating?
Too much eating will mess up your bowels.
Hey.
The district representatives insisted on buying.
How could I refuse them?
You probably made them buy for you.
I thought you had a conscience...
when you sent back the red ginseng Chairman Cho sent.
I guess that's all gone now.
I didn't make them do anything. They're all better off than me.
You're right.
To be honest,
I want to try my best to skin them dry...
and make them anxious and mock them.
I knew it was a bribe,
but I took it to make them feel flustered and anxious.
After the voting,
I'm going to reflect on myself.
I promise you, little boy.
Drink it up.
- Drink. - Don't.
I cross the road here.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E08 'Into the Ring / Memorials' "Se Ra's Responsibility" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
Bye.
Tell me about municipal bonds.
You weighed out your options...
not even knowing what's on the scale?
I don't know now, but I should before the light turns green.
Talk to me.
A municipal bond...
is issued by a local public entity according...
to the Local Finance Act.
Dumb it down to my level.
Again.
Mawon-gu Office has no money.
Because they have no money,
they issue promissory notes for a loan.
Mawon-gu Office has no money?
Not at all.
I thought they'd last three months.
It's quicker than I thought.
Mawon-gu Office has no money?
Did you know that?
Yes.
That's why I got kicked out of Planning and Budgeting.
I'll go home, then.
(Three months ago, Planning and Budgeting)
If this goes on,
in three months, you won't be able to pay your staff.
(Budget Meeting)
They can't pay us?
Mawon-gu's bankrupt?
I guess you didn't read the local news...
because you were too busy eating.
("Mawon-gu's Financial Independence -17 percent")
("Can They Pay Their Staff?")
What's this?
Is it raining?
No. You're crying.
I'm crying?
You jerk.
Hey.
Why are you telling me this now?
I tried to talk you out of it.
You told me to quit without any explanation.
If I knew Mawon-gu's finances were this bad,
would I have gone through all that?
Darn you!
(From the Aeguk Conservative Party to Goo Se Ra, a child at heart)
Darn it.
It's stupidly bright and shiny.
Why would they send this to someone's house?
Hello.
She's always full of energy.
She's like a wild horse.
Don't go into your room and sit down!
Come here.
Take good care of Se Ra for me.
I don't have to.
She has a lot riding on her already.
Really? Is that true?
Deals mean nothing,
and promises even less.
People make promises so easily,
but are terrible at keeping them.
You got a job as a district representative.
You should buy your parents something with your first pay.
My pay...
If you can't turn back or go sideways,
you must go forward.
That is your role as a district representative.
That's right. One must go forward.
Go forward! Go, let's go!
Here. Let's drink!
This is great.
90 dollars.
At least I didn't pay over 100 dollars.
Se Ra understood what I said, right?
(Mawon-gu District Assembly)
(Goo Se Ra)
Did you make up your mind?
Hello.
I'm still thinking.
How much value do you think...
your single vote has?
I guess... About 4,000 dollars?
My salary?
No, you're wrong.
Is it a riddle?
30 million dollars divided by 13 is...
About 2.3 million dollars.
No.
Your vote is the deciding vote,
so it's worth 30 million dollars.
30 million dollars?
I trust you'll pick...
the tough road that will benefit the majority over a small profit.
Like how you did to voice...
your objection to Sammart's distribution center.
Okay.
Bye, then.
30 million dollars?
How can I imagine 30 million dollars when I don't even have 3,000?
This is driving me insane.
(Mawon-gu District Assembly, Current Attendance)
(District Representative Goo Se Ra)
Why are you doing this? It's scary.
You know, don't you?
I don't know.
Come on.
What? What's wrong?
- Go on. - Shake hands.
Residents are nervous because Mawon-gu...
could be the first of Seoul's 26 districts...
to announce bankruptcy.
The opposing parties are debating whether to issue municipal bonds,
and nonpartisan representative Ms. Goo holds the casting vote.
Everyone's attention is on her.
We shall vote on the motion to issue municipal bonds.
Please come up to vote when your name is called.
Mr. Cho Maeng Duk.
Ms. Goo Se Ra.
(Goo Se Ra)
(Polling Booth)
(Vote on motion to issue municipal bonds)
Please pass me the results.
Sure.
I will announce the result.
The total number of votes was 13.
6 voted yes, 6 voted no, and 1...
was void.
We do not have a majority vote,
so the motion to issue municipal bonds...
was rejected.
What happened?
We had a sploit vote?
Her vote was void.
- How did that happen? - Can't we get rid of her?
My goodness.
Void?
That concludes...
I request five minutes to speak.
Go ahead.
We will not issue municipal bonds,
and Mawon-gu's finances are still in a dire situation.
I believe I'm responsible,
and would like to make a suggestion to the respective representatives.
All 13 of Mawon-gu's district representatives...
should be a good example.
Until our finances are back on track,
we shall take no pay...
to share the pain with the voters.
No.
My pay.
What happens to my pay?
Let go.
You asked me why...
I want to go back to Planning and Budgeting.
Because it's the most political place.
- It's political? - Yes. They decide...
where the taxpayers' money is spent.
It's the most political place.
Money is politics.
And tomorrow it's your call.
Me?
That huge decision is mine?
What's this?
The feeling of responsibility?
Did you expect me to say that?
I had only one goal ever since I decided to run for office.
Cash.
Money.
My pay!
(Into The Ring)
How about making a joint motion?
A joint motion?
Did you read the ordinance bill?
It was awesome.
The ordinance bill you're working on with Ms. Goo.
I'd like you to revise it a little.
- Which part? - The names?
Where's my name?
- This is common. - It's common?
You're talking back at the deputy chairman?
You made a huge mistake!
What huge mistake?
She locked it?
Goo Se Ra! Hey!
I didn't even make a small mistake.
