Wanting to become a good person, he turns to respected politician Hwang Bo-Yoon (Choi Moo-Sung) for advice. One day, Jang Se-Chool saves a bus driver after his bus crashes and dangles off a bridge. With news coverage of the accident, he becomes a hero. Soon, Jang Se-Chool runs for a seat in national assembly after his mentor Hwang Bo-Yoon is attacked and hospitalized.
