In South Korea in the early 1960s, Seo Chang Dae (Lee Sun Gyun) is a pharmacist who dreams of escaping his job and becoming a political strategist. Kim Woon Beom (Sol Kyung Gu), meanwhile, is a struggling politician for the opposition left-wing political party. Both he and his party are experiencing hard times – in the wake of the Korean War (1950-1953), the country is bitterly opposed to left-wingers, branding them all “communists” who want to “betray” the country to the North Korean government. But Seo Chang Dae approaches Kim Woon Beom and explains to him that if he is prepared to fight dirty, he could win political power. The latter is skeptical, but when he finally agrees to try the pharmacist’s methods, he attains phenomenal success at the polls.

Kim Woon Beom uses Seo Chang Dae’s insights and strategies to mount a political platform that takes him from his soapbox on the fringes of regional politics to the national stage. But as they both rise to the top of the political pyramid, a clash of ideals ensues. Kim Woon Beom is not sure that his strategist’s methods are ethical, while Seo Chang Dae’s loyalty to his political ally is about to be put to the ultimate test…

Being a prosecutor is not all glamorous work – busting international crime rings and bringing crooked politicians to justice, as Cha Myung Joo (Jung Ryeo Won) soon discovers!

She was once the rising star of her department, working at a central prosecutors’ office, dealing with newsworthy cases. But now she has been transferred to a small branch office in a provincial town, where her daily work is far more mundane!

At the branch office, she meets Lee Sun Woong (Lee Sun Gyun), a fellow prosecutor with a very different outlook on life and what the role of a prosecutor should entail.

It looks like the two prosecutors are on a collision course, with both disapproving of each other’s methods. Can they find a way to work together – or will the battle of the district prosecutors get ugly?
