Neighborhood’s Hero (동네의 영웅)

It's fine if they want to turn this place into a lawless, free-for-all ghetto.

But why are they making us do all of the work?

Hey, idiot, you get in trouble for not doing anything anyway.

You can't complain.

Hey, you think I wanted to get beat up?

How could I have known that there was a monster like that in this neighborhood?

This is a really weird neighborhood...

Yeah, but we got hit by a guy in a mask.

So, if we wear masks just like his that will be a good idea, right?

Are you stupid? That wouldn't be a great idea, it would just look ironic.

That's what I meant!

This is the first time ever that the same guy ran up on me twice.

First, he beat us up at night.

The second time, he beat us up in broad daylight!

We already take beatings and insults from the president...

On top of that, we have to act like thugs at night. I'm so sick of this.

Hey, let's take care of that quickly. We have a lot of work left to do tonight.

My mom thinks I work at a respectable company.

If she found out about this ridiculous thug life, she would faint.

- Hey, you hold the guy down. - Okay!

Let's go.

Wow... we can't just ignore such beautiful girls so late at night!

You!

What are you doing?

Hey, are you okay? Are you okay?

Who are you?

He was just fooling around! He thought you were his girlfriend!

- Take off your mask. - Sure.

Young Sook. Wait, you're not Young Sook.

I'm so sorry, I thought you were Young Sook.

I should report them for harassment, right?

Let's just go, Chief. There's no need to reveal your identity.

I agree. We're just here for a quick drink.

Let's go then.

What the hell is going on around here?

Do only nationally-ranked street-fighters live in this neighborhood?

There's no need to expose your identity? Hey, who do you think you are?

- My goodness... - His hat says "H"!

Mask.

- We're right. - What do we do?

Seo Ahn...

Shi Yoon...

Wait, hold on a second!

Do you know him?

Let's go somewhere else today.

What's the big deal? Am I not allowed to carry a mask?

No, of course, of course you can...

- Where were you this afternoon? - Why are you asking?

What about last night? You were in the culture district, right?

Hey, do you know me, by any chance?

No, this is my first time meeting either of you.

Hey... why are you lying?

You came to the bar a few days ago. I even took your order.

What I'm asking you is, why are you acting like this? What did I do wrong?

You did nothing wrong!

We were just wondering if you were the one...

who secretly helped So Mi and I.

- You helped us twice already. - Me?

So... while you were monitoring me secretly, from close by...

the bad guys appeared, and you suddenly popped out of nowhere--

Well yes... It's true that I was monitoring someone...

But it wasn't you.

Then, were you monitoring me?

No, it wasn't you either.

Anyway... I think you've got the wrong person.

I'm sorry.

It's because you're wearing the same hat that he was wearing. And you have a mask.

They sell this hat everywhere.

- You're good at sports, aren't you? - Sure, I'm good at sports.

And fighting too. Right?

Sure, that too.

But what guy doesn't know how to fight?

- Will you come back to the bar? - I don't know!

Are we wrong?

Well, whether we're right or wrong...

He's really cute! What do I do? What do I do?

You wish he was your guardian angel, don't you?

Yes!

Well physically, he's not bad at all.

If we run into him around the culture district again...

Or if he comes to our store again...

Then there's a really good chance.

Yeah... but he doesn't know us at all. So why would he help us?

Maybe...

He doesn't just help one person in particular...

Could he be fighting for justice, everywhere in the neighborhood?

Everywhere?

I heard that you got out of prison.

But I had no idea you would be here, doing this.

You haven't changed.

Beautiful...

And cool, as always.

Why didn't you want to see me... when I visited you in prison?

When our friend died...

Me...

and all of my feelings...

they all died with him.

Shi Yoon...

I should hate you...

Right?

Okay, let's see.

Yes...

- Shi Yoon. - Yeah?

What do you think? Do I look like a reporter?

You look like an actress, playing the role of a reporter.

Am I missing something?

It means you look beautiful.

What?

Seo Ahn.

- Yes? - This is your camera.

You can put your equipment in your clutch.

And I'll go check on our maximum distance for capturing live video reception.

When are you going to stop assigning me this kind of work?

What kind of work?

Acting roles that require me to approach other men.

When... I'm no longer one of the other men?

And when will that be?

When... I become Kim Seo Ahn's man.

Are you confessing your feelings to me right now?

For a female role of this nature, you'll need to accessorize a bit more.

I bought it at the airport.

Why... all of a sudden?

I realized something, all of a sudden.

We've only worked together for two years, but I don't think I can do without you.

As a team member?

As a team member...

of my life?

Come with me for a second.

Hello?

Hey...

your confession was a little lame.

- But anyway, congratulations. - What are you talking about?

Well... there is definitely a microphone and camera attached to the glasses.

And on top of that... the reception is perfect.

But anyway, I hope you live a long and happy life together.

He's sensitive and cautious.

He could already be suspicious that he's being investigated.

But more than that, his private life is troublesome. He really loves women.

Will you be okay?

Should we stop this mission, because it's a bit risky?

I have to go in now. Do you have anything you want to say?

I'm sorry. I'm always asking you to take on these kinds of missions.

"It could be risky... but trust me."

"I'll protect you, no matter what happens."

Isn't that what you should be saying?

Shi Yoon. Don't overthink. Just trust me.

I can handle my own work.

If something happens to you, I'll be there to protect you.

Is there a good interview, waiting for me in that room?

For sure, Madam. We also believe women should be treated with proper manners.

Okay, good...

- 3413. - Yes, 3413.

Are you always with bodyguards?

This is an order from the company.

They think I'm a major asset to the Borshtant bank.

Are there any hidden bodyguards in this room, besides them?

No, as you know, every company has a limit...

Two bodyguards.

Two bodyguards, for now.

Did you prepare all of this for me?

The atmosphere of the interview should be comfortable.

Good food, good wine and good people.

Then I can start asking questions comfortably.

Is it really true that Borshtant Bank might withdraw

from the competition to take over Korean Commerce Bank?

Can you take off your glasses?

- Excuse me? - I want to see your face without them.

That's very rude of you.

If you're a professional reporter, show me your work ethic.

- Keep me updated on the situation. - Yes, sir.

In order to gain one, you have to give up something else.

I guess you are ready then. Next question.

Will Borshtant Bank withdraw?

I guess what you're going to take off next is decided.

I have my own rule as a reporter.

I only allow sources to watch.

I'm going in.

Just a second.

Seo Ahn can handle this on her own.

She's dealing with three guys. We don't know what's going to happen.

The bodyguards are headed for the living room.

What is the reason, for your withdrawal?

Has there been any deal with your competitors?

Or any pressure from outside?

Both.

Okay, one more question.

Who was your competitor?

Bay Star Hong Kong.

What type of deal and pressure?

I will decide what to take off next.

I'm going in.

All right.

But before that, would you give me some wine?

Just a second. Just wait a second.

You know, I'm always attracted to tough men.

This is what you want. Isn't it?

Very wise of you.

What was the message from Bay Star Hong Kong?

They have some powerful Koreans to back them up.

They were going to get it anyway
