The Mayor

Seoul's passionate and hands-on mayor Byeon Jong-gu (Choi Min-sik) claims to love only the city of Seoul, but in reality, he is a shrewd political mastermind, meticulously managing his image while aiming for ultimate power. He teams up with strategist Shim Hyeok-soo (Kwak Do-won) and brings in young advertising expert Park Kyeong (Shim Eun-kyung) to pave his way to the presidency. As fierce attacks from rival candidates escalate and unforeseen incidents arise, Byeon's ambitious re-election campaign faces crisis after crisis.
