MAWON, A CITY OF DIGNITY

What... What the...

What?

What's going on?

Let me give it a try.

INTO THE RING

LET'S ALL MAKE MAWON AN ATTRACTIVE CITY.

TWO MONTHS AGO

That's nonsense? - What is?

Have you heard about... - About what?

You know that deputy director who got sent to the service center?

There are rumors saying he's a loner there as well.

You should take good care of him.

Why would I do that? He's not a preschooler.

I ended up with a boss who was born in 1992.

I'm the one who needs to be taken care of.

Who knows?

I heard he was really good when it comes to drawing up budgets.

The higher-ups might call him back again.

No, that won't happen. Don't you know how he got sent here?

I asked you to bring me the best solution! The best one!

BUDGET MEETING

No, ma'am.

I already gave you my best solution.

I'm going to go home now.

If it were a private company, he would've gotten fired.

He'll never be able to get his old job back.

But he's a level-five civil servant,

and he already spent two weeks at the service center.

Didn't... Didn't he get discouraged by that?

Who? Him?

I'm here for a certified copy of my family register. It's urgent.

It's lunchtime.

My gosh, he's unbelievable.

MAWON-GU OFFICE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL COMPLAINTS WITHIN A DAY

This is the service center of Mawon-gu Office.

What can I help you with?

You're just a receptionist. Let me talk to the chief.

This is the service center, and his office isn't located here.

If you leave me your name and contact number,

I can send it to him for you.

Hey, do your jobs properly!

You get paid with my taxes!

Is this really the best you can do?

Please stop using violent language.

People can't work properly because of you.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

Tell me your name and what team you're in.

I'm Seo Gong Myung, and I work at the service center.

I'm going to record everything you say from now on.

And I'd like you to know that we can take legal measures...

based on what you say.

How dare you disrespect me?

My goodness.

My gosh, a civil servant is abusing me!

He's hitting me with my cane!

Help!

I can't give it to you due to safety reasons.

My gosh, my back.

Sir, are you okay?

I'm going to have that guy fired!

My goodness, my back!

My back hurts so much!

You should be doing your best not to cause any trouble with him.

Why would you make things worse?

Don't you know what kind of situation you're in?

Why do you think a level-five civil servant like you...

is getting orders from a level-seven civil servant?

I don't think you should serve people face to face.

You can deal with the complaints online.

By the way, don't forget to be extra careful...

of Garden Tiger Moth.

"Garden Tiger Moth"?

Don't you know?

Even the chief knows that person.

GARDEN TIGER MOTH

That person has been filing complaints for over 15 years.

But that person has never once shown up in person.

This is the service center of Mawon-gu Office.

That person sees everything.

And most importantly,

that person never gives up until we solve the complaint.

PEOPLE WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF GARDEN TIGER MOTH

Lots of people quit because of that person.

OVERWORK, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PANIC DISORDER, LETHARGY, HALLUCINATION

That person has made so many civil servants quit their jobs.

I'd call that person the chief of the night.

There are people who take out their complaints in a weird way.

In other words, they're messed up.

Just know that your life...

depends on that messed up person.

Keep this in mind.

Just remember three words when you reply to complaints.

GARDEN TIGER MOTH

MAWON-GU, CIVIL COMPLAINTS

GARDEN TIGER MOTH

FOR WHOM DO YOU SPEND OUR TAXES AND HOLD LOUD FESTIVALS?

For whom do you spend our taxes and hold loud festivals?

COMPLAINTS FROM GARDEN TIGER MOTH

What were the three words I told you earlier?

I understand what you mean.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

I wish you a healthy and happy...

I WISH YOU A HEALTHY AND HAPPY...

I wish you a healthy and happy future.

The end.

No, that won't be the end.

My gosh.

How am I supposed to throw this away?

Should it go in the regular trash?

Can it be recycled? Which one?

Does Mawon-gu have a separate trash bag...

to dispose of broken glass and ceramics?

Gangnam-gu and Dobong-gu has them.

Then move to those districts.

Taste it.

Gosh, it's so darn salty. This was imported from China.

Don't say that.

I bought it at the district Salted Shrimp Festival.

Who cares? They're all shrimp from the same ocean.

But the less tasty ones are from China.

There's talk that the salted shrimp sold at Mawon-gu's...

Salted Shrimp Festival was imported from China. Is it true?

Watch how you reply to that.

We asked a local autonomous entity...

to recommend a salted shrimp expert,

and after a strict screening...

A salted shrimp expert?

Yes.

FORMER SARANG RESORT

1 NEW POST

The board on Former Sarang Resort's bus stop that announces...

arrival times hasn't been working for exactly 14.5 days.

What does this person do for a living?

Why does it fit as if it's made for me?

This isn't the right fit.

Let's undo another button.

That's better.

You're here.

Why is there a cake?

I don't like sweet things.

But I like cakes.

Don't you know what today is?

It's not your birthday, is it?

It's our ninth anniversary.

Right...

You know how busy I was all this month.

Chairman Cho's terrible.

He always calls you and makes you work late.

Are we equals?

Can love and respect be equal?

If the chairman's busy, it's good for me too.

Are you tired? - Yes.

I have to go back out. To attend a funeral.

Let's celebrate our anniversary and your birthday when we're free.

Shall I take you home on the way?

No. I can get home from here with my eyes closed.

Can you?

Is an anniversary like a laundry that you can do all at once?

Darn him.

What are you eating this late at night?

You're lying down right after eating?

With the hope that lying down...

right after eating will make me feel better.

Se Ra.

Do you have cash saved up?

Not over my dead body.

Why? What is it this time?

You were conned into buying a store?

When I followed a friend to a gathering.

I heard that everyone invests as a retirement plan.

A gathering?

You got conned at a gathering 10 years ago,

and you went to another one?

This gathering was about visiting nice restaurants.

What foodie group takes 50,000 dollars from you?

Where did you get the money, Mom?

From this house.

I got a secured loan.

This is crazy.

It's crazy. - If your dad finds out,

he'll really kick me out.

Se Ra. Do you really not have any money?

How could I have saved up?
