Tae Poong!
Mister.
Mister! Wake up! Mister!
What happened?
Oh no.
Are you okay?
I'm not hurt at all.
But I think Mr. Wi is dead.
No.
He's okay.
He'll be okay.
No. I think he died.
He isn't moving.
He isn't dead.
I don't think he was hit very hard.
That's right. I did not die.
No. I'm perfectly fine.
Tae Poong!
No!
But I couldn't waste this opportunity.
I pray to every deity up there.
Please don't let Mr. Wi die.
Please don't let him die.
He's fine other than the scratch on his head, so don't worry.
I really think he's awake.
How can you make jokes right now?
I'm not joking. Look.
The doctor says he's fine too.
I pray to every deity up there. Please shut that punk's mouth.
Should I tickle him?
Stop it.
If I tickle him and he doesn't wake up,
I'll quit all my games.
Do you mean it?
If he doesn't wake up, you have to quit all your games.
And what if he moves?
Then you can be our leader.
Then he's below me too.
Obviously.
He can't be head of the house if he's lying about this.
Okay.
No. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't.
- Where am I? - Are you okay?
Yes. Da Jung.
- How's Tae Poong. - I'm totally fine.
I'm glad.
I'm so glad. I'm glad.
I'm glad.
- Sir. - Yes?
I'm sorry for changing the item on the day of.
It's okay. It's the charm of a live broadcast.
Wi Dae Han, gosh.
Does he want to do politics that badly, that he'd use children?
What do you mean?
I read in the article that he kicked them out at first.
It's obvious.
After kicking them out,
he realized the kids could help him and weren't just a burden.
You don't know that.
He could've felt responsible as the dad and felt bad for them.
That may be why he took them in.
And that's the attitude of a proper politician.
You are so naive.
Do you think that too, Mr. Kang?
I don't know.
That's what I'd like to believe.
There is a politician who has been the talk of the day online.
Former Assemblyman Wi Dae Han,
who was the youngest Assemblyman ever.
The teenage girl, who said she was his biological daughter,
posted online that Assemblyman Wi took her in...
and her three younger siblings as family...
after they became orphaned.
After a video of Assemblyman Wi saving the youngest brother...
of the girl was posted online,
the interest in Assemblyman Wi is growing more and more.
Tae Poong!
(Video Submitted by Viewer)
Wake up, Mister!
- That was so close. - He's amazing.
That's pretty good.
Wi Dae Han may make it back.
(Episode 4: We Need a Superman)
It all happened so quickly.
All I could think about at the time was that I had to save him.
I believe any father would've done the same.
Isn't that Wi Dae Han?
Hey, there.
You did a great thing.
You're a man of dignity.
A man of dignity? You're embarrassing me.
- Do you feel okay? - Yes.
Well...
You see, I was hit by a city bus this big.
So people thought I was dead.
I lost consciousness briefly due to a concussion.
But luckily, the CT scan came back clear.
People like you should be in the Assembly,
but it's filled with con artists.
If I run in the next election, you have to vote for me then.
Of course. I'll vote for you again and again.
Thank you. You promised.
Assemblyman Wi, us too.
What? How can you...
We want a picture with you.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3.
Thank you. You were so cool.
- Study hard. - Okay.
- May I get a picture too? - Sure.
- Well... - There.
Me too.
May I get one too?
- Thank you. - Sure. Goodnight.
Okay.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
It's on me, so eat up.
Four more orders of rib-eye, please.
Okay.
Assemblyman Wi, I eat rib-eye only on my birthday.
Hey. It's not for me.
Tae Poong goes crazy for beef. Right?
Beef is the best!
It's the best.
Three bowls of cold noodles too, please.
Okay.
Just pretend today is your birthday.
He's so petty.
Are you his minion?
What?
No, I'm not his minion. I'm his aide.
Right now, I'm the aide to the Mayor of Inju.
What's an aide?
A person who helps people like Assemblymen do their job well.
That's a minion.
Well...
She's Song Yi, right?
You're so cute.
Don't you have any questions for me?
Guess what's the smallest war ever waged?
The smallest war...
I guess the war between siblings?
Wrong. It's minimum wage.
My gosh. I guess it was a riddle.
Do you know what minimum wage is?
No. I know that you wage a war though.
"Wage" has two distinct meanings.
The "wage" in "minimum wage" isn't to wage a war.
It means pay received in exchange for labor. Thus, it means money.
Thus, "minimum wage" isn't to wage a small war,
but the minimum standard...
for wages determined by the government.
You understand, right?
You freak.
Mr. Minion is super weird.
You don't have any friends, do you?
What do you mean? I have a lot of friends.
I'm totally in the in-crowd.
I understand.
Hang in there. Come over if you feel lonely.
You're always welcome.
Outside.
Eat up. Eat.
I need to eat. What is it?
Those kids are no joke.
Don't get me started. I'm dying.
I almost died for real today.
Still, the public sentiment flipped because of what happened today.
The people are calling you "National Dad" online.
National Dad? Goodness.
Anyway, I got my first request in three years to go on a radio show.
Did you meet Da Jung's uncle?
I did, but he said he had to go out of town for work,
and only signed the kids' transfer form.
What did he tell the reporter?
I only said what I heard.
That Assemblyman Wi looked into orphanages at first.
How could he twist that so terribly like that?
There's a reason why reporters get a bad rap.
Thank goodness for what happened with Tae Poong.
Otherwise, it would've been the end right after you started.
That reporter is one of Kang Kyung Hoon's people.
I'm sure it was his doing.
He wants to get rid of you before you can get big.
You have a lot of supporters.
The mayor seemed interested too.
Han Soo?
He told me...
to support you so you can rise to the surface.
What is he up to? He didn't call once after I lost the election.
Mr. Nam met with the kids' uncle,
and he said there was nothing suspicious.
It may be a good thing that Dae Han...
rose to the surface.
It's a good thing?
We can use him to motivate Joon Ho...
to enter into politics.
Here's Mayor Jung.
What?
My gosh.
Mr. Mayor. Funny seeing you here.
I know.
You have an amazing swing.
You've got a great form.
I'm too weak, so it doesn't go very far.
With both golf and politics, it's more about experience than power.
That's why the National Assembly...
needs people like you with many years of experience.
I heard a rumor that you won't be running in the next election.
I was there for too long. I overstayed my welcome.
I should step aside for someone young with vigor.
Someone young with vigor.
Do you mean someone like your son?
He has no interest in entering politics.
I won't force him against his will.
What a shame.
I feel like he'd be a great politician.
You're too kind.
Politics is about serving the people.
You need to have a sense of duty.
Why don't we have some coffee?
- Sure. - Let's go.
That was good.
Did you eat enough? Tae Poong, did you eat a lot?
I ate a lot.
Song Yi?
Tak, you too, right?
Gosh. You'll have to do a lot of designated driving.
If you're done eating, let's go.
Next up is "The Person of the Week" in which we discuss...
the most talked about person of the week.
Let's see who the person is.
All I could think about at the time was that I had to save him.
I believe any father would've done the same.
Guys, Daddy's fine.
Just grow up to be healthy.
Okay.
Soo Hyun should've given me a heads up.
Hold on. Let's watch a little before we go.
Assemblyman Wi Dae Han was selected to be the Person of the Week.
Some people say Assemblyman Wi took in the children...
in order to mend his image, and are negative about him.
Let's just go.
You have school tomorrow.
With designated driving, and this.
Those aren't actions that appear to be an act.
Let's watch that first.
- What? What for? Let's go. - What do you think?
Even if the mourning and the designated driving...
were indeed just for show,
I don't think it's a bad thing.
However,
pretending to be a dad for a political agenda...
is completely different.
Because it can hurt the children.
I do not think...
Assemblyman Wi would've done such a thing.
I hope he will become...
a good father worthy of the nickname "National Dad".
Good work.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Good work. - Thank you.
Thank you.
I knew it. My gut feeling is never wrong.
I had a feeling Wi Dae Han would be a great topic.
The comments are blowing up online.
We may set a record in ratings.
Seriously.
The show went well. How about we get some beer?
Sounds good.
Ms. Jung.
Sorry. I wish I could,
but my liver is refusing. I've been so exhausted lately.
Mr. Kang. You're free, right?
I had a prior engagement tonight. I'm sorry.
What's with everyone?
We'll join you next time.
Fine. Let's go.
- Sure. - Let's go.
- Right now. Let's go. - Shall we?
How's Tae Poong?
He was in shock, but he's fine physically.
What about you?
I hit my head hard on the ground, but I'm fine.
I realized that a superhero's blood flows through my veins.
You're so full of yourself.
It did remind me of college.
What do you mean?
You were kind of cool back then.
Sorry, but can you give me that?
Thanks.
Did you write this yourself?
Yes. Why do you ask?
It's like the worst handwriting I've ever seen.
Who cares about handwriting? The content is what matters.
But it should be written neatly so people can read it easily.
That's true, but we don't have enough people...
in the student council.
I have very pretty handwriting.
What about now?
Now...
Ms. Jung!
I have to go now. You must be tired. Rest up.
What?
Hey. What...
Why did she stop in the middle of a conversation? I'm curious now.
I could've taken the bus.
It's on the way anyway.
But you're busy. You said you had a prior engagement.
This is it.
What?
Giving you a ride home.
That was what I was going to do.
Are you taking lessons or something?
- "Lessons"? - Yes.
Lessons for pick up lines.
Was that too cheesy?
Yes. I think I need some kimchi to wash that down.
By the way, when are you going to treat me?
Oh, that.
When are you free?
How about Friday night?
Okay.
So what happened? Are you having dinner?
Oh my gosh, that's practically a date!
No, it's not.
You're terrible with romance.
- Anyway, I don't like him. - Why not?
I like Dae Han.
- Why? - He's hot.
He even ran into a bus to save a kid.
They're all talk about how the country is going down...
due to the low birth rate.
Someone like Assemblyman Wi,
who took in four kids who were strangers,
should be the Minister of Gender Equality and Family!
Assemblyman Wi, who risked his life in order to save a child...
is indeed the true politician of our time.
Elect the National Dad, Wi Dae Han, back to the National Assembly!
"To the National Assembly".
That's it!
I knew it. It's worth being a dad.
Are you trying to be the designated father,
since being the designated driver didn't get you enough attention?
Is he crazy?
Darn it...
Is there any way I can have these people arrested?
Why are you still up?
I was going to call my friend.
You have a boyfriend, don't you?
Don't be too late, since you start school tomorrow.
Mister.
Yes?
Thank you for saving Tae Poong.
It was nothing.
We made a contract.
I don't know about anything else,
but I keep my promises no matter what.
That's why.
I'm going in.
Sure.
It's a contract.
Stop being so dramatic.
Where did you put the urn?
I placed it in the closet in my room.
I thought I shouldn't leave it there since they even broke the tank.
Wait. You don't look so good, Da Jung.
You even have a pimple.
It's been crazy these last few days.
And my skin was flawless my whole life.
Soo Hyun. You said we were ill-fated and jinxed...
and that we should stay away from each other.
Why do you keep coming over?
I'm here to see the kids, not you.
I don't like cereal! I want rice!
Give me rice!
My stomach doesn't feel so good because of the cereal.
Are you okay?
This is really good for you!
Even astronauts eat this in space.
Did you know that?
This is good for you.
You liar.
Constitution of the House, Article 1, Section 2.
We will act courteously to each other. Have you forgotten already?
Then report me.
Da Jung helps with dinner,
so why don't you make breakfast?
Da Jung has to get ready for school.
That's true, but I'm also going to be busy from now on.
It's going to be crazy once the show airs today.
They're all going to want me on their show.
Wait, if you're going to be on live radio,
who will pick up Tae Poong and Song Yi?
That's why I did some research,
and it turns out there are a lot of child-care programs.
They can stay there.
You don't have any open spots left?
No. They all filled up at the beginning of the semester,
and not everyone can secure a spot, either.
Ma'am, I'm scheduled for an important show today.
Can't you help me out just for today?
Then I'll let them stay in the school library.
I don't want to stay in the library!
Tae Poong, the library is an amazing place.
And you need to read a lot of books if you want to be a great person.
I don't want to be a great person!
I'm going to be a tyrannosaurus.
What?
You're going to be...
You need to be human...
Song Yi. You like the library, don't you?
What is it? Don't you like it, either?
That's not it.
My stomach doesn't feel so good.
I think it's because of the cereal.
Oh...
Really?
Then we'll have rice starting tomorrow.
I'll be back soon after the show. Okay?
Okay.
(Han Da Jung)
My name is Han Da Jung and I lived in Chuncheon my whole life.
I want to be a webtoon artist in the future.
I'm not good at studying, but I can draw well.
Let's have fun together.
Stop that!
A new phone?
Are you rich?
Give that back.
We don't usually invite guests in such short notice,
but the other guest who was scheduled for today canceled on us.
I see. I don't know what could have happened to them,
but they shouldn't have done that when it's a live show.
I know.
Anyway, I'll do my best today.
- Thank you. Let's go. - Sure.
Let me read a story.
Spring has come, for certain.
Not only because of the weather, but it's also because...
there are many stories on the radio about people going to see flowers.
- I am running a small store, - He's here.
- so I cannot even dream... - Turn down the volume.
Welcome.
I thought you were some kind of celebrity.
You're so handsome that you should've been on TV, not the radio.
You flatter me.
But I prefer the radio over TV.
Why is that?
You see, I have a sweet voice.
"Sweet"?
You even have a great sense of humor!
You're fit to be a guest.
- Ms. Jang. - Yes?
What do you think about having him as a regular?
Sounds great. "The Parenting Diaries of the National Dad".
The name just pops up.
Great. "National Dad" has a nice ring to it.
What a treasure to our show!
Goodness...
(Incoming call)
Take it. You'll be in Part three, so you have enough time.
Thank you.
Hello?
This is Song Yi's teacher, sir.
Yes, ma'am. Is there a problem?
Song Yi...
pooped in her pants.
"Poop"?
One moment.
She's in the nurse's office right now,
but her classmates found out.
She doesn't have any spare clothes and she's crying.
I think you should come and pick her up.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Why isn't she picking up?
This is driving me crazy.
Goodness!
Gosh, it's so nice to come to the sauna with my daughter.
Why are they so impatient?
My dead skin cells are already coming off.
There's going to be so much later on.
Mom, don't act like this in public. It's embarrassing!
Embarrassing, my foot!
Don't you think other people are here to scrub too?
Stop overreacting, yourself.
No one scrubs here.
Of course, they scrub at the sauna.
You go ahead, mom.
- You could get a tubful off. - All right!
Can't you take a few minutes off?
It's a very busy day.
I'm about to take a dump in my pants...
because I have no time to go to the bathroom.
Darn it. This is terrible. It's not like I can flake on the show.
Go afterward.
Nothing changes if you go sooner. She already pooped anyway.
What?
Get lost!
Darn it.
Yes.
I can't flake on a show because of the poop she already took.
I should raise them to be tough. That's right.
You didn't forget the contract term that if you do not...
perform your duties diligently, I'll tell everyone the truth, right?
I wish you luck today as always.
What's this? Did she hear me?
Assemblyman Wi.
Part three will begin soon.
- You can sit there. - Okay.
- It's nice to meet you. - Same here.
You can read this.
Sure. This is the format we'll be taking.
- Make yourself comfortable. - Okay.
Okay. We'll begin now.
Let's go, National Dad!
Okay. Let's become a permanent cast member!
Assemblyman Wi had an unavoidable situation,
and couldn't join us at the studio today.
We will speak to him over the phone.
Hello, Assemblyman Wi. Can you hear me?
Yes, hello. I'm former Assemblyman Wi Dae Han,
a politician who serves the people.
You came all the way to the studio but had to leave.
Where are you headed?
Well...
I'm going to my youngest child's school.
The youngest? Do you mean the eight-year-old twins?
Yes, that's right.
What happened, that you're going to the school?
Well, my youngest...
is having stomachaches due to enteritis.
She keeps asking for me in the nurse's office,
so it just broke my heart.
Oh dear. You must feel terrible.
Oh my gosh.
Hello.
Assemblyman Wi Dae Han, right?
Yes.
You're so handsome in person.
Thank you.
But how's Song Yi?
I'm Song Yi's guardian.
She's over there.
I see. Thank you.
She was crying the whole time and just fell asleep.
Is her underwear still...
No. Her teacher took her to the bathroom,
threw out her underwear, and changed her.
Her teacher is so nice.
Song Yi kept crying and said...
it was because of the cereal.
Song Yi, aren't you happy to go home early?
That stupid cereal is the problem.
You did nothing wrong.
I'll throw out all the cereals as soon as we get home.
Those bad cereals.
Song Yi, it's okay.
I peed in my pants when I was in grade school too.
Is that true?
Of course, it's true.
Song Yi pooped.
Look. Pee, poop, it's all the same thing.
And your friends don't care at all about things like that. Don't worry.
That's not true. They teased her like crazy that she pooped.
Tae Poong.
Don't they poop? It's okay. It's okay.
I'm not going to school anymore.
What? Then what will you do?
I want to stay home.
No, you can't. I'm too busy now, so I'm not home anymore.
What if a burglar breaks in while you're home alone?
Isn't that scary?
Mister. I'm hungry.
How could you think about food at a time like this?
I'm hungry because I skipped lunch.
Buy me a hamburger. A hamburger.
Please...
Fine.
Let's change Song Yi first, and then go out for burgers.
Okay. So...
Just a minute.
Hey. Where are you? Why is your phone off?
What's it to you whether or not my phone is off?
How could I not care? Song Yi pooped at school.
That's only natural. Good for her.
In her pants. She pooped in her pants.
What?
What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?
No.
Sure. It may be better not to eat when your stomach hurts.
Song Yi. You'll go to school tomorrow, right?
I won't go.
Really?
Do something. She says she won't go to school again.
I wouldn't want to go either.
I'm dying here.
I have to watch the kids, go on air, cook, clean, do laundry,
and I do designated driving at night.
But if she doesn't go to school, what am I supposed to do?
I'm not Superman.
Superman, ho!
Come here.
Sit here and eat quietly.
Eat your burger, okay?
Song Yi. Is there anywhere in Seoul you wanted to go to?
Why?
Let's go to cheer up...
and get some fresh air.
Yes, there is! Amusement parks. Let's go to an amusement park!
Song Yi, should we all go to an amusement park?
Okay.
Gosh. Forget it. It'll be packed. It's pure torture.
And it's super expensive.
It'll be my treat.
National Dad? As if.
You won't even play with the kids.
Come to think of it,
a National Dad can take the kids to an amusement park.
That's right. You're definitely paying, right?
Song Yi, aren't you happy we came here?
Yes.
Then you'll go to school tomorrow, right?
I'll think it over.
What? You'll think it over?
You're playing hard to get already.
You're going to be a pro at dating when you grow up.
What are you saying to a child?
What a great thing to teach her.
What? I should.
Let's go.
But you know, I think you and Ms. Soo Hyun...
are sexually compatible.
What?
Song Yi. Do you...
even know what "sexually compatible" means?
I do. It means you understand each other well.
That's what Da Jung said.
Song Yi.
You see... Da Jung was mistaken.
It's not a good thing, so don't say that anywhere else, okay?
- Okay. - Good.
But...
it's true that you two are dating, right?
Song Yi. No, no. Look at him. He's totally not my type.
You're not my type either.
No, no. Me neither.
- Thank goodness. - Thank goodness.
Mister. Carry me on your shoulders too.
Carry me on your shoulder. Come on. Please.
Hey, Tae Poong. That's super dangerous.
Haven't you seen kids getting hurt from doing that? No, no. Let's go.
It's not dangerous.
I have very good balance.
Carry me.
Carry him. How hard is that?
Sure. It's not dangerous, so she'll carry it. You do it, lady.
Lady? Carry him. Now.
- I have a bad back. - Now.
- Tae Poong! - That's dangerous.
Get on his shoulders. Careful.
Okay. 1, 2.
How much do you weigh?
Hold on. Hold on. Soo Hyun, take our picture.
What? Are you here to take pictures?
You're going to post this on social media, right?
These are all memories.
Tae Poong, here. Ready?
- Song Yi, come here. - Okay.
Okay. Ready?
Here we go.
- Song Yi, you too. - 1, 2, 3.
- Okay. A heart this time. - V. More. A heart.
1, 2, 3.
- Nice. - Let's take a video this time.
- A video too? - Okay.
Excuse me, aren't you Mr. Wi Dae Han?
- Oh my gosh. - It is him.
It is you, right?
- The National Dad. - He's the National Dad.
Can I get a picture?
Well... Sure, why not?
- Please take our picture for me. - Sure.
Okay. Excuse us.
Okay, here we go.
1, 2, 3.
- One more. - With mine too.
Okay, 1, 2, 3.
One more?
- Yes, one more. - Okay.
1, 2, 3.
- Thank you. - Sure. Have a nice day.
- Thank you. - Good luck, National Dad.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
Okay.
Tae Poong, wasn't that fun?
Let's go.
- Dae Han. - Yes?
- Song Yi. - What?
I don't see Song Yi.
Song Yi!
- Song Yi! - Song Yi!
Song Yi!
Soo Hyun, stay here. I'll look for her.
Okay.
- Song Yi. - Song Yi!
Song Yi!
- Song Yi! - Song Yi!
Song Yi!
Daddy.
Just a minute.
What is it?
Song Yi!
Where did you go? I looked all over for you.
I went after him because I thought it was Daddy,
but it was someone else,
and I couldn't see you.
I'm sorry.
I see. It's okay.
I'm sorry...
I got distracted.
Hey. Song Yi.
I'll add this to the Constitution.
Not getting distracted at an amusement park.
- Okay? I promise, okay? - Okay.
Good.
My gosh. Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Song Yi. When else did you poop other than today?
I think it's been over a week.
Kids can get constipated if they're anxious.
I think today's indigestion was due to stress too.
I was harsh.
I don't think you should send her to school until she becomes stable.
Okay.
You have to go to school.
I don't want to go to school neither!
It's "either", not "neither".
Either! Neither!
I don't want it neither! You have to go to school.
- Let's go. - Excuse me.
Let's go.
Hello, sir.
Soo Hyun. I knew it. I knew that jerk would cause trouble.
What is it? What's wrong?
What?
Go online. It's a big mess right now.
What?
(Assemblyman Hwang Yong Chan's Me Too Allegation)
They're passed out.
Anyway, Yong Chan. How could he do that in this day and age?
What does sexual harassment have to do with the times?
It's a crime at any time.
Right.
I guess that means he'll have to leave your show, right?
Not just leave our show. He should go to jail.
It'll be hard to find a new panelist especially since it's a live show.
My point exactly.
Is there anyone good?
Right?
Wi Dae Han.
You?
What? Did you hear that?
I'm really popular right now. I have a good image now too.
I'll think about it if I can't find anyone else.
Do you mean it?
Thank you for all your help today.
I had fun thanks to you guys. Get home safely.
Bye.
Get some rest.
Mention me in your meeting.
Okay?
Is that so hard?
Is becoming a panelist a bit much?
What do they say from above?
What could they say?
They say to find a new panelist.
Do you have anyone in mind?
No.
I feel lost.
Current events shows are already struggling,
but what is this garbage now?
We should've cut him a while ago.
No, it's for the best, actually.
Let's use this to revamp the whole show.
The panel, format, and everything.
You want to change it all?
Do you have a format in mind?
Viewers are bored of just discussions.
What people want now...
isn't to watch people debate over little things,
but is to participate in a way to bring about real change.
That's right.
The Blue House Civil Petitions are a bit hit for that reason.
That sounds good. An interactive program sounds good.
Really?
Nice format.
Whose idea was this?
Well...
Who else would think of something like this but me?
So you can use your brain after all.
What about the panel?
Mr. Kang is popular,
so we'll keep him on as the conservative.
As for the progressive panelist...
Let's go with Wi Dae Han.
Wi Dae Han won't work. He's the Reprobate Son.
What do you mean? He transformed himself into the National Dad.
We know he's a good speaker.
And he's not bad looking.
Wi Dae Han as the progressive panelist.
It'll draw attention for sure.
Wi Dae Han as a panelist for the Debate.
- Has it been decided? - I put it on hold for now.
I don't think the party would like it.
But it would be interesting,
having Kang Joon Ho and Wi Dae Han face off.
How old are the kids?
Well,
the eldest is a high school junior, the 2nd is in the 9th grade,
and the fraternal twins are eight.
That's quite a variety.
I'm struggling so much with just one son.
Aren't you exhausted?
I can't be exhausted already.
Rather than that, I feel proud.
And our house feels much cozier...
now that it's full of kids.
And when I see the twins asleep,
I somehow get a bit emotional too.
What's this?
It's a nosebleed. Excuse me...
- A nosebleed? Don't touch that! - All right, I'm sorry.
- Gosh... - My nose...
How could you bleed all over my car?
- I'm sorry, sir. - It hasn't even been...
a month since I bought it!
- Darn it... - I'm sorry, sir.
- I'm sorry, sir. - Gosh...
Darn it!
But this says...
you ran 70,000km. That's not new.
Maybe it's not this car.
This is my most valuable car...
I'm sorry, sir.
Goodness.
Forget it.
I'm going to get it washed anyway.
I'm so sorry, sir.
I won't make you pay for the ride.
At least you're not shameless.
Have a good night, sir.
(Jung Han Soo)
Yes, sir!
Thank you.
How does it feel to be a father?
It's killing me.
Now that I've experienced it,
I can say that every parent in this country is a patriot.
They should be awarded.
It costs more than I expected,
and the conditions are poor.
Where does all the tax money go to?
It's all because of us scummy politicians.
It's six months until the general election.
You're getting ready, aren't you?
I got rid of that nickname,
but I still have a long way to go.
So you're just going to take your time on the way?
You need to grab an express bus or train...
to get through.
Well...
I know I should,
but I don't have any money nor ties, so I can't get the tickets.
You're going to be the new panel...
for Debate.
How do you know that?
Is that important?
How well you do it is what's important.
By the way, was his name Kang Joon Ho?
Kang Kyung Hoon's son?
Yes. What about Joon Ho?
There are rumors that he's running in the general elections.
I heard about that.
Kang Kyung Hoon is denying it,
but that sly fox would never show his cards.
I'm sure he's trying to...
pass on his place to his son.
My gosh.
Does he think this is the feudal age?
I won't just watch him do that.
Whether it's Kang Kyung Hoon or Kang Joon Ho,
I'm going to beat him for sure.
If you want to do that, you better think straight.
If you go against Joon Ho as a panel in the show,
you're basically beginning your campaign for the general elections.
If you fall behind there,
there's no point in even running.
Keep a watch out for those kids too.
It's extremely hard to improve your image,
but it only takes a moment to go down.
"It only takes a moment to go down."
Who's there?
Why are you so startled?
Of course I am. You popped out like a ghost!
What are you going to do about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
Where will you take the kids if they're not going to school?
Oh, well...
I thought they'd get bored at home,
so I'm taking them on a field trip.
To where?
There's a good place.
Go and get to bed. You have school tomorrow.
Go and see your room.
Mister, I'm sorry I pooped at school.
I'll try harder to hold it in next time.
Thank you for taking us to the amusement park...
and working until late to earn money.
I'll be sure to return the favor when I grow up.
Sincerely, Song Yi.
Hello.
- Hello. - How cute.
Say hello.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- It's the kids! - Hello.
- Do you want some pocket money? - It's all right, ma'am.
- It's all right. - Please... Gosh.
- Here. - Say thank you.
- You've grown so much. - Thank you, ma'am.
- Hello. Long time no see. - Hello.
Sure.
I'm tired!
- What? - Me too.
Really? Then should we stop walking around the market...
and go to the nursing home to play with the elderlies?
I want to go to school tomorrow.
Me too.
But I was going to take you to the National Assembly tomorrow.
I don't want to!
No?
But you have to.
One moment.
Congratulations. You're the new panel for the progressives.
Yes!
I got it! I got it, Song Yi and Tae Poong!
- We got it! - We got it!
I got it!
(Hye Jin)
What's this? Wait.
Hello? What is it?
I heard you're a panel for Debate. Congratulations.
I didn't expect you to be congratulating me.
What do you mean? Of course I should congratulate you.
It's not like we broke up on bad terms.
Thanks for the congratulations,
but I don't think you called me for just that.
You heard I got kicked out of the news, right?
Sort of.
I'm going to be the host for Debate.
We don't know each other, okay?
Why? You said we didn't break up on bad terms.
Still, it won't do us any good by admitting it.
And I like Joon Ho.
Okay. Nothing happened between us and we don't know each other,
so do your job properly.
Don't side with Kang Joon Ho.
I'm the new progressive panel for Debate, Wi Dae Han.
- Nice to meet you. - Give him a round of applause!
I lack a lot as a person,
but the only things I'm confident about are my looks...
and my talk.
I will put in my everything for the success...
of the newly transformed Debate.
Bravo!
You've seen the proposal for the renewal, right?
Of course. I even used a highlighter to study it.
I see something new.
Public assembly.
Yes. We're letting the viewers participate this time.
Each week, the panelists will propose a new law...
and debate about it.
The audience and viewers will vote live for or against.
If a law receives 80 percent of more votes,
it will be proposed to the National Assembly.
So,
for the first law to discuss in the public assembly,
how about the revision of the anti-abortion law?
What?
Abortion?
Yes.
That's a bit much for the first episode.
It'll draw a lot of attention...
since it was found unconstitutional.
I think it'll be good.
I see. But...
Are you sure?
What?
Well, the issues politicians try to avoid most...
are same-sex rights and abortion.
If you're lenient with abortion,
religious groups get upset.
But if you're strict, women will oppose strongly.
Even if it's a difficult issue, you must say what you must.
With conviction. Right?
Well...
Da Jung's mom was a single mom.
You took her and her siblings in.
That's why you're called "National Dad".
It's too risky to discuss abortion on your first show.
Exactly. High risk...
means it'll draw the attention of the viewers, right?
Right?
That's true.
Right.
(Wi Dae Han To Join Panel on cvN Debate Program)
- I'm on a diet. - What are you saying?
- You know nothing about diet. - It's delicious.
Eat up.
You know what?
What was that? What's wrong with her? Did you see that?
- What's wrong with her? - Is she sick?
What's wrong?
Fate keeps bringing us together.
More like unfortunate circumstances.
I told you before, didn't I? Control your rage.
Please don't cause trouble on air.
Don't worry about that,
but I can't control my rage.
It's right to be enraged at injustice.
Right?
Why are you touching the anti-abortion law?
It was found unconstitutional,
but it's a highly sensitive issue.
One mistake, and it'll kill your career.
Sensitive issues bring you the spotlight.
Just see whether my career shoots up or pummels to the ground.
I'll buy today.
You can buy next time.
No, I should buy.
That's why we met up today.
Actually,
I'm here to ask you for a special favor.
Stop stalling and tell me.
What is that special favor that you want?
It isn't much.
You said before,
that someone like me is too perfect and uncomfortable.
Yes, I did.
When you get to know me, you'll see I'm far from perfect.
I have many weaknesses.
If you look closely here,
I have a bald spot, so I've been getting shots for it.
Sorry.
Do I still make you uncomfortable?
Well, you do seem a little easier to be around now.
That's right. I'm very easy.
So let's date.
Yes, sure. Why not?
What? What was that?
Let's date.
Why?
I say let's date, and you ask why. I'm a bit flustered.
You can't be more flustered than I am.
It was out of the blue, wasn't it? I'm old like that.
I'm not good at having flings and playing hard-to-get.
Well... So... I'm the same way,
but why me?
What do you like about me?
Do you remember...
when we met by chance at the National Assembly Library?
- Do you come here often? - Oh my gosh.
Hello, sir.
Not often.
I come at times when I need something.
- Excuse me. - Wake up!
- Wake up! - What's wrong?
Call an ambulance!
Oh no.
Oh my gosh.
Call an ambulance.
What happened?
- Call. Hurry. - 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Did you call 911? - 7, 8.
Hello? We're at the National Assembly Library. A man fainted.
- Do you have a defibrillator? - Yes.
Get it for me.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
That's when I had this thought.
If I date you,
I'd be safe even if my heart stopped because of you.
After seeing his heart...
beat again because of you,
it made my heart beat as well.
It's my first appearance as the National Dad.
The production director insists my daughter should be there.
He was so annoying.
You'll only be in the audience,
so you don't have to feel any pressure.
Regardless, I have to be in front of a camera. Live, at that.
Well... That's right.
You don't have to come.
You don't have to,
but...
I feel like there was a term in our contract or something.
That if necessary,
Han Da Jung may go on TV for Wi Dae Han,
or something like that, I think.
Fine. Okay.
I'll go on TV for you...
since you saved Tae Poong.
Really?
Thank you so much.
This isn't just for me.
If I do well,
I'll be able to be a better dad. Right?
Right? Hey.
Hello?
What an awesome manner.
What?
I could've opened it myself.
To be honest,
I'm not sure how I feel yet.
I'm happy, but I'm also flustered at the same time.
And...
it's awkward since we work together.
I'm glad.
About what?
None of those feelings is a dislike toward me.
Do you take lessons?
Where do you learn those lines?
What is this?
It's the loyalty card from the cafe where I met you last time.
Let's meet until I collect all the stamps on this.
So there's no pressure.
I'm against this relationship.
Why?
I told you. I like Dae Han.
Why are you bringing him up now.
Do you really not like Dae Han at all? Not in the slightest?
No. Not at all.
Seriously.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
It's okay.
What was that?
I'm sorry.
What's your problem?
The car suddenly cut in front. Why that...
Hey, you! Drive properly!
I'm sorry.
We were almost in an accident.
- Please continue. - What...
I'm speechless.
- Hey. - Forget it.
I'm so offended.
Here you go.
Are you ready?
Let's start.
Okay, we'll begin shooting in 60 seconds.
Places everyone.
Good luck today.
Good luck.
Thanks. Good luck.
3, 2, 1.
A conservative and a progressive panelist will fight...
and debate hot topics sweeping the nation.
This is "Debate".
(Debate)
Next up is something that's brand new.
(Public Assembly)
"Public Assembly."
I believe Mr. Kang has prepared the proposed law today.
What is it?
As many people know,
the law outlawing abortion...
was found unconstitutional.
Thus, the National Assembly must revise the existing law...
by December 31, 2020.
Thus, we'd like to discuss how to revise the anti-abortion law.
Then we will begin the debate regarding the anti-abortion law...
Before we discuss the anti-abortion law,
I'd like to make one thing clear.
Finding the law unconstitutional doesn't mean...
the law will be repealed.
The exact meaning of this decision is to revise...
the standard for when abortion is permitted.
And to let you know my personal position on this,
I think abortion...
is a sin.
- Oh my gosh. - She must have indigestion.
Are you okay?
She must have indigestion.
Are you okay?
(The Great Show)
- Who are you? - I'm your son.
Your passion for your dream.
Why am I your father?
Hello, Father.
How am I your father?
You two might end up dating.
There's a reason why tabloids have such a bad reputation.
How could things get so complicated?
It's 100 times harder for Da Jung.
You're behind that article, aren't you?
Let's band together...
and take Kang Kyung Hoon's seat in the Assembly.
