ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

FILMING WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH COVID-19 GUIDELINES

Coming.

That wasn't the first time

that my life was turned upside down.

Who are you?

I learned that

one day is all it takes

for my entire life

to be turned upside down.

I learned that…

Hi.

Long time no see.

…for the first time 20 years ago.

ON DUTY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS YOUNGSAN POLICE STATION

Hey, kid.

Is something wrong?

Do you need help?

Wait, is that…

blood on your clothes?

Hey!

YOUNGSAN EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL

LEGAL NAME CHANGE FORM

And

I heard…

NEW NAME KIM HYE-JOO

…that name again…

Kim Jae-eun.

…for the first time in 20 years.

Or should I say…

Kim Hye-joo?

You murderer.

CONFRONTATION

How have you been?

Right.

I know it's late, but congratulations on your marriage.

The wife of an assemblyman?

That's amazing.

You had reached out to my chief advisor

but I wanted to meet you personally.

Look…

Is that your daughter?

No.

Then who is she?

She's a kid I know.

Yes, she's just a kid I know.

Look, Seung-hee.

I'm a bit busy today,

so let's talk…

Let's talk another time, okay?

All right.

Let me get your number then.

Sure.

Save my number.

I'll call you.

Okay.

It's so nice to see you.

I missed you,

my friend.

See you later.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.

Let's visit Ji-hoon some other time.

I'm feeling unwell. I need to get some rest.

What?

My name?

Yes.

I'm taking out a mortgage to fund the election campaign.

I needed our resident registration forms

since the house is under both of our names,

and yours said you had changed your name.

Kim Jae-eun?

It's a pretty name. Why did you change it?

No reason.

"Kim Jae-eun."

That's new.

Go to bed first.

I'll be in the study.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I came here to tell you to stop what you're doing.

My mother-in-law has done nothing wrong.

We can get into that later.

Are you originally from Youngsan?

It's also my wife's hometown.

I see.

She often talks about fond memories of Youngsan,

so whenever I meet people from there, I feel at home as well.

But I try to stay professional

and distinguish

right from wrong.

Now that we're acquainted, try to arrange a meal with him.

What are you doing?

Sir, it's about Ji Seung-kyu's family.

Ji Seung…

Right, the medical student? What is it?

His mother swallowed some pills.

Do you think Mr. Nam's meeting with Mr. Choi didn't go very well?

He's been looking kind of uneasy.

Right?

What could it be?

ASSEMBLYMAN'S OFFICE

Thanks. Bye.

They pumped her stomach, so her life is not in danger.

Why did she do it?

I'm not sure.

Well…

She must be either heartbroken over the loss of her son

or shocked by the hateful comments.

Every article about him had quite a few comments saying that he deserved to die.

I called them "hateful comments",

but that's the public sentiment.

So please don't blame yourself

for what happened to him or his mother.

Are you thinking about Ji-hoon?

How could I not?

He must have received tens of thousands of hate comments.

Every time he did something wrong

and even after his death.

It's true that what he did was wrong,

and he should be scolded and punished for it.

But…

NAM JOONG-DO MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS SON'S MISDEEDS AND STEP DOWN

Most parents beg for mercy

when their children do something wrong…

I ask for him to be punished strictly by the law,

and I sincerely apologize as his father

for failing to discipline him properly.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

…but I did the opposite.

Hi, honey.

NAM APOLOGIZES FOR SON'S ASSAULT CASE AT PRESS CONFERENCE

And it hurt my wife greatly.

Don't give a criminal a narrative.

What?

"Don't give a criminal a narrative."

That's what the audience says these days

when characters in movies or dramas say something like that.

They refuse to give criminals any room for pity

or being understood.

That's the public sentiment.

I have a heavy heart whenever I think of Ji-hoon,

but that's the reality.

What I mean by that is,

you have to keep your pity, or any form of personal sentiments

toward Ji-hoon or Ji Seung-kyu's mother, at home.

You should only express it to your wife.

You're not Ji-hoon's father right now.

You're an assemblyman with an election coming up.

Just like you said, you have to stay professional.

If you were to lose your child,

what would you rather have the cause of death be?

Suicide, murder…

or an accident?

The last one would be the least painful.

It would be, wouldn't it?

Yes.

At least as a parent.

She often talks about fond memories of Youngsan,

so whenever I meet people from there, I feel at home as well.

-She ran away? -Yes.

She left town as soon as she graduated.

She ran away from her crimes.

SEOUL TO YOUNGSAN

KIM JAE-EUN

You've been living a happy life, haven't you?

NEW MESSAGE FROM SEUNG-HEE

MEDICAL STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER BEING EXPOSED BY NAM

Your husband killed someone as well.

By the way,

does he know about your past?

INCOMING CALL

-Hey, Seung-hee. -I saw the news.

Hey.

Look, Seung-hee…

Did you think fleeing to Seoul and changing your name

would cover up the murder you committed?

If that's what you wanted, you should have kept a low profile.

Did you think no one would recognize you

when you're the wife of an assemblyman?

Come to Youngsan.

We should…

continue our little chat.

Come here tomorrow.

And don't even think about running away.

Seung-hee--

YOUR HUSBAND KILLED SOMEONE AS WELL. DOES HE KNOW ABOUT YOUR PAST?

Mom.

Mom.

Hey, I'm home.

Where have you been all day?

Sorry.

I had to take care of something.

Mom.

What is it?

Well…

I know we're supposed to go shopping for land tomorrow,

but can you go without me?

Why?

Something's come up.

You're meeting your friends in the evening anyway.

I'll go with you next time, okay?

Just for tomorrow.

I wouldn't be of much help anyway.

Hey, is Ki-young home yet?

"Ki-young"?

You come home after spending the entire day out,

and the first person you ask about is your husband?

Are you not worried about me who's been at home all alone?

You two should have just gone to live in Australia without me.

Mom.

Could you please stop saying that?

I'm really sorry for saying I wanted to move to Australia.

But I didn't go. So please--

I don't want to hear it.

You're the only child I have left after Seung-ho passed away,

but I don't want to talk to a heartless person like you anymore.

I'll go by myself tomorrow.

And I'll drop dead right there

-and go meet Seung-ho. -Mom.

Fine.

I'll come with you, okay?

I'm sorry about everything and I'll come with you.

So please just stop it, will you?

COME TO THIS ADDRESS

Come to this address at 7 p.m. tomorrow.

You murderer.

DELETE

YOU MURDERER

DELETE FROM THIS DEVICE

I'll revise the parts you mentioned today

and report back to you.

Yes, that would be great.

But if I'm being honest,

It seems a bit premature to discuss the next term's agenda

as we prepare for the upcoming election.

Not at all, sir.

You should definitely look far ahead.

I decided to work with you this term

because I saw you advocating for the underprivileged

during your previous term.

I didn't join to be here for just a single term.

You need to stay in politics

and improve our country.

Absolutely.

And don't worry about the election.

We'll do all the legwork.

I've been jogging 30 minutes a day.

Take it easy.

Thank you for your encouragement.

I'll do my best.

-You got this, sir! -You got this.

Why are you out here?

Ki-young.

Were you waiting for me?

You weren't coming home, so I thought you left me.

Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?

It's been a while.

Maybe another time.

My mom is home alone.

Ki-young.

Things will…

get better soon.

Hey, come and eat.

Hye-joo isn't eating. She has a headache.

Maybe she has a cold.

Are you feeling better?

-Yes. -Go ahead and eat.

I'll eat after bringing her some porridge.

I'll bring it to her.

What are you…

Give me that. Why are you touching my phone?

MISSED CALL FROM HUSBAND

Don't come into my room or touch my stuff without my permission. Understand?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Hi, honey.

I missed your call.

Sorry. What's up?

What?

My voice?

No, I'm not sick.

I think it's just a cold.

Were you just calling to check in?

Okay.

All right. See you later.

Bye.

So please don't think about visiting Ji Seung-kyu's mother at the hospital.

You'll only receive public backlash.

-Mom. -Hey, Yoon-seo.

Are you sick?

Did you catch a cold? Or is it something else?

No, I'm fine.

Did you eat?

Yes. Are you hungry?

I already ate.

Should I get you some medicine?

That's okay.

-Mom, don't be sick. -Yes?

-Okay? -I'm not sick. I'm totally fine.

Are you sure?

How dare you?

How dare you come here?

You killed my son!

Are you here to see if his mother died as well?

You have no right to come here, you murderer!

Say something, damn it.

Why did you do that to Seung-kyu?

Being an assemblyman doesn't give you that right!

Where's that badge of yours?

What is it?

Are you going to resign for what you've done?

Are you?

I also

lost my son recently.

I'm not here today

as an assemblyman.

I'm here…

as a father…

who lost his son.

Drop the act!

No matter what you say, it won't bring my son back.

Answer me!

Did he really deserve to die?

Answer me!

You killed my son!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Don't come into my room or touch my stuff without my permission. Understand?

She gave it to me here,

and I put it in my bag.

Where the heck is it?

COLD MEDICINE

ASSEMBLYMAN NAM JOONG-DO

Honey.

I'm sorry. Did I startle you?

Just leave it, honey. I'll clean it up.

-Just leave it. -It's okay.

Sorry, I'll make some again.

That's okay.

I'm going to head out.

Right, Yoon-seo's class is visiting the National Assembly today.

Right. That was today.

Hold on.

You're not running a fever.

You sounded sick yesterday, and you look really pale right now.

No, I'm okay.

Don't just say that. Go see a doctor later.

Okay.

All right. See you later.

SEUNG-HEE: COME TO THIS ADDRESS AT 7 P.M.

Come in.

For breakfast and lunch…

Right.

I thought you forgot these.

Did you bring these from my studio?

Sorry?

Yes.

I stopped by last night to look for my lip balm.

-Lip balm? -Yes, my lip balm.

I saw the passcode when you were opening the--

What did I tell you?

I told you not to go into my space without my permission, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

I'm just a kid you know. I shouldn't have gone into your space.

But I only did so

because you didn't keep your promise about finding my lip balm.

Aren't you taking these?

Should I put them back?

Or should I throw them away?

There's a statue too.

You're right.

It's huge.

Hello,

I'm Assemblyman Nam Joong-do of Sinyang.

-You're awesome! -You're so handsome!

-You're so amazing! -It's nice to meet you!

How do you like being here?

-We love it! -It's so nice!

-You're so cool! -You're amazing.

Thank you.

Hye-joo told you to bring this to me? Why isn't she using it at home?

I'm not sure.

All right.

It's all done.

Have some kalguksu as well next time, okay?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Bye.

Pay up.

You need to pay for that.

Ms. Hyeon, she didn't pay.

Hey, why are you leaving without--

Come back for some kalguksu, okay? Be careful not to spill that.

-But-- -Go on.

FREE FOOD FOR CHILDREN, TEENAGERS, AND PREGNANT WOMEN

Have you had lunch?

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.

Gosh.

-This is so cool. -Nice to meet you.

-Your dad is so amazing. -I'm going to frame this.

See you at home.

So you're Da-som.

Hi.

-Hello. -It's nice to meet you.

By the way, is this really your personal number?

Yes. Call that number, and I'll pick up.

No way.

Do you give dating advice?

I'm sorry, but I only do that on the weekends.

Did you not have breakfast?

Then you get an extra.

Thank you.

You didn't know how things work here,

so I don't blame you,

but it still bothers me

that I couldn't explain it properly.

Lots of kids are coming by today.

-Really? -Yes.

I still wish more kids would stop by.

Didn't you say Yoon-seo's grandmother gave you dumplings for free?

Yes.

Whenever my mom was working late,

I'd come here by myself and ask for some dumplings.

And when my mom would hurry over to apologize and try to pay,

she wouldn't take the money and she'd say children had to eat well.

And she would say that's what neighbors are for.

When I came back to this neighborhood

and didn't know how to make ends meet,

she gave me a job here.

I was truly grateful.

Had she been around a bit longer,

she would have seen her son become an assemblyman.

Come to think of it,

Assemblyman Nam must take after his mother.

Yeo-jin, can I take a couple bottles of that oil home?

Sure.

OPTIMIZATION OF SEX CRIME VICTIM SUPPORT

PENALTY AND VICTIM SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SEX CRIME

Sir,

I'm sure you know, as a member of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee,

but there hasn't been a single proposed amendment regarding sex crimes

that passed the committee's review to be referred to the plenary session

this year.

With dozens of bills proposed every day in the National Assembly,

it makes sense that not every one of them is discussed in depth.

My term will be over in a few months.

All bills that fail to be passed by then

will automatically be disposed of.

Right.

If I'm being completely honest,

unless a major case of sex crime occurs

that brings about

a great public uproar,

it won't be easy to push ahead with a bill

in merely six months.

I agree with her.

During Ji Seung-kyu's case,

the public demanded severe punishment for sex offenders…

But it didn't last long.

We live in Dynamic Korea where we have a new headline every day.

Sir, it's time for you to visit the district office.

Okay.

Why are you still here?

I haven't paid.

Forget it.

No, I want to pay.

We don't charge pregnant women either.

You didn't read it thoroughly, did you?

FREE FOOD FOR CHILDREN, TEENAGERS, AND PREGNANT WOMEN

Did you think I didn't charge you last time

because you were pregnant with Ji-hoon's child?

Although that's also true.

Either way,

I'm glad you can eat our dumplings despite your morning sickness.

Come by whenever you want.

Okay.

YEO-JIN

-Hey, Yeo-jin. -Hey, Hye-joo. It's me.

I received the oil.

Are you sure you want me to use it here?

Why aren't you using it at home?

I mean, you can give some to Yeong-seon.

-I already did. -Oh, my goodness.

-…hit a motorcycle by the Cheongdam Bridge -Goodness.

-around 1 a.m. -What is it?

-and drove away. -My gosh.

Do you know Ko Ji-seop from the Daehan Party?

Anyway, his wife drove off

after running a man over and killing him.

Oh, my.

-They can't reach him right now. -The police

analyzed the CCTV footage…

Of course I feel bad about the victim,

but I'm worried about her husband. He's a politician.

Ms. Woo, please give us a comment on the current situation.

-Yes? -Your car is waiting out front, sir.

Okay, thank you.

See you later.

The wife of Assemblyman Ko Ji-seop of the Daehan Party

hit a delivery bike with her foreign car, killing the rider.

The accident occurred on the Cheongdam Bridge

at 1 a.m. three days ago and is causing an uproar.

-See you tomorrow. -The police analyzed the CCTV footage

-and has arrested Ko's wife. -Goodbye.

Do you really think Assemblyman Ko didn't know?

I'm not sure.

They really need to keep their family in line.

Their careers could end from one mistake by their family.

Exactly.

-Hello. -Hello.

ASSEMBLYMAN KO JI-SEOP

Poor Assemblyman Ko.

Assemblyman Nam is lucky to have Ms. Kim as his wife.

She may not help at all, but she doesn't cause any trouble either.

But when a quiet person causes a problem, it tends to be a huge one.

Come on.

Be careful what you say.

Still, she's not the type

who'd cause trouble.

Right, Mr. Jang?

Yes, let's hope so.

INCOMING CALL

Why aren't you picking up?

Hey, Seung-hee.

You weren't picking up.

It stopped ringing just as I was picking up.

-But Seung-hee-- -You're coming to Youngsan later, right?

Yes.

Okay.

You didn't reply to my texts,

so I thought you weren't coming.

So I thought,

"Did she run away again?"

"She's making things more interesting."

No, I'm coming to Youngsan.

I'll be there.

All right. See you later.

See that greenhouse over there?

-You'd be buying that much. -But we don't even know

if the road will be built there.

Goodness, ma'am.

The price has already doubled since last month.

It'll skyrocket if a road really gets built.

You were taking so long that I thought you left.

Were you talking to your husband again?

No.

Gosh, she must be very happily married.

Who cares?

She's so happy with her husband that she neglects her old mother.

-Mom. -Hey, I don't need you either.

I'm going to meet my friends.

So go to your husband.

Mr. Park, let's go.

-See you tomorrow. -Bye.

SONMAT NOODLES

Hello, sir.

-Hello. -Hello.

-I'm rooting for you. -I appreciate it.

-You can do it. -Thank you.

THE COMPETENT ASSEMBLYMAN! WE BELIEVE IN YOU, NAM JOONG-DO

Ma'am.

Goodness, Assemblyman Nam.

-Ma'am, what are you doing here? -What the…

-Well… -Assemblyman Nam.

Goodness.

Ma'am, you're cleaning out here again?

You should just come inside and have some tea.

I'm forever grateful to you,

so I wanted to give you something,

but they told me you couldn't accept any gifts.

There's nothing else I could do for you.

It's no big deal, so don't worry about me.

Sir.

Oh, no.

That's a dirty rag.

Goodness. Sir.

Thanks to you,

that bastard got what he deserved.

And now,

I'm finally at peace.

I'll repay your kindness at all costs.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Get home safely.

Goodbye, ma'am.

She doesn't know yet.

That bastard uploaded the video

right before he jumped.

When the arrest warrant was applied for,

he had only threatened to leak it.

Then the case was closed following his death.

So no one knew about the leak until later on.

Has it spread widely?

The police are still hunting down whoever redistributes it.

The specialist you personally hired

is working to remove all the videos.

But it's not easy to get rid of all of them in such a short time.

It's a relief that the case isn't in the spotlight anymore.

She's so elated that he got what he deserved.

If she hears about the video on the news…

She'll be utterly shocked.

For her sake, there shouldn't be any follow-up articles

that draw attention to this case again.

You're right.

We can't have that happen.

That's a ten-percent increase in new members compared to last month.

We have a more luxurious interior and better equipment

That's believed to be the main factor that attracts customers.

Good work.

Please make sure our customers can exercise

Yes, sir.

Hey, Seung-hee. It's me.

Since your mother is meeting her friends this evening,

how about you and I go out for dinner?

I see. You already have plans?

With a friend?

Okay.

Have fun.

I'll see you at home.

Okay. Bye.

A friend?

Welcome to Youngsan, a city full of love and happiness.

I asked you last time not to show up like this.

Do you not like me?

Why not?

Seung-ho, you see…

I've never thought of you to be more than Seung-hee's brother.

So I'm asking you. Please.

Don't come here again.

Bye.

Kim Jae-eun.

Seung-ho, please let go of me.

Okay?

ON DUTY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS YOUNGSAN POLICE STATION

Hey, kid.

Is something wrong? Do you need help?

Hey, is that blood on your clothes?

Hey!

I'd like an apology.

And please stay away from me.

Pardon?

Boys can be like that

when they like someone.

And I'll be blunt.

Nothing really happened.

You just scraped your palms and knees.

That's…

That's because I ran away.

If I hadn't, I would have…

Here.

Take this, okay?

I understand that you're hurt and upset right now,

But can you just pretend that you briefly went out

with a law student from Seoul National University?

Let me go.

I'll…

I'll get you a scholarship to Gyeongji University.

My husband's aunt is the chairwoman there.

How will you pay your tuition

when you don't have parents?

I'll make sure you get that scholarship.

So let's not make a big deal out of nothing, okay?

I'll…

take the scholarship then.

Okay.

I'll make sure you get it.

The scholarship.

Kim Jae-eun.

Don't be mistaken.

It's not like I actually liked you.

If you needed money, you should have just said so.

You pathetic orphan.

This is between us. My husband--

Your husband is an assemblyman, no less, and the elections are coming up.

Should I put up banners and hand out fliers about what you did?

My wife will not have any influence over my political activities.

I know it's too late, but I have to do something.

Let's do one thing at a time, shall we?

Why did she have to get involved?

You. Can you take responsibility?

You're one to talk.

Why do you want to know?

Is there something you find suspicious?
