01x06 - Election

Paradorn.

Paradorn.

Paradorn.

They say power changes people.

Or maybe it simply rips off the mask

and reveals

who they really are.



Has anyone ever wondered, like I have,

why…

whenever we talk about change,

adults always say that change takes time?

How many years?

Three years?

Five years?

Sometimes, I'm no longer sure

whether it's a real reason

or just an excuse to do nothing at all.

Yes!

- You're right.
- Yes!

I'm not saying that change is easy.

But my point is

that if we start
by doing just one thing at a time,

we'll only see one result at a time.

But if we start
by doing 100 things at once,

the progress of 100 years

might happen within a single year.

Right?

Right!

Paradorn.

Paradorn.

Hello.

I'm Nanno, Number 2,

here with a policy…

What policy should I go with?

Oh.

"New student, new life," then.

Anyway, please take care of me,

and my heart too.

I just applied recently,

so I didn't really prepare any policies.

But that's okay, right?

I'd rather hear ideas from everyone.

Did she copy our idea?
She just changed the wording.

I'm ready to kiss everyone now.

Hey!

- Me first!
- Me first!

Hurry up.

Go, go. Hurry.

The line is long now.

Wow.

I'm Nanno, No. 2. Please support me.

Sure.

I really like your idea.

So I'd like to…

share some ideas too.

If it's you,

I can give you two kisses.

No need.

I'm here to exchange ideas
for the benefit of the school,

not for personal gain.

Hmm… whose is this?
Looks familiar, doesn't it?

- Whoa.
- Boo!

Just throw it away.

Distribute the budget to each class rep

and let them manage it

and set their own rules.

Do they think
everyone has that much free time?

No. No one's free.

Why give class reps more work?

- Yeah, that's true.
- Why?

Yeah!

The latest poll results are out.

Really?

How is it?

Can our 100 policies compete
with Nanno's single kiss?

Honestly, Nanno's initial momentum
was very concerning.

But based on the current poll,
it's clear that

even though she created buzz,
it doesn't mean people will vote for her.

Because most people can still tell

who's real
and who's just chasing attention.

Right?

And from further surveys,

people are interested in the policy
of decentralizing power to class reps.

If we can push this
as our flagship policy,

we'll gain more support from voters.

As for Nanno,

just let her bury herself
with her past scandals.

- sh*t.
- sh*t.

- Is that real?
- Is that Nanno?

- Who uploaded this?
- Zoom in.

It's so clear.

Nanno's popularity
is definitely going to drop.

Easy for us.

Damn, look at this.

Did she really do it?

sh*t.

- Did you see it?
- Student body president?

Did you see your friend yet?

Where?

- sh*t, how is this possible?
- Damn.

- Whoa. sh*t.
- What?

- sh*t. Is that real?
- Damn.

Regarding the controversy about me…

I'd like to confirm

that everything you've seen

is true.

- What?
- sh*t.

Damn.

Is that real? sh*t.

Gosh.

Just kidding.

These days, anyone can easily fall victim
to something like this.

sh*t.

Hey, isn't that a campaign group?

Are they friends?

Yeah, right?

Paradorn, right?

- Paradorn?
- Yeah.

No matter how real it looks,

fake…

is still fake.

And the one who should be punished

is the person who created the fake content
and used it to ruin someone else's life.

Let me give you a hint.

The one who benefits from this

is the one who did it.

- That's playing dirty.
- Yeah.

- Yes.
- That's right!

- Playing dirty.
- Yes!

Yes.

How is that even possible?

She just acts slutty all day.

The real issue is
that people misunderstood

and think we did something dirty

to damage her reputation,
so she's gaining sympathy votes.

On election day,
we have to vote for Nanno.

Yeah!

So we can stand against patriarchy.

Nanno! Nanno!

So stupid.

But did we actually do it?

What do you mean?

Nanno! Nanno!

Didn't I already tell you guys?

The clip was already uploaded.
I just shared it.

Nanno! Nanno!

But you were the first one
who saw it, right?

Why would I go out of my way
to sabotage her?

We're already leading in the polls.
You saw that yourself.

She's not even on my radar.

Didn't Nanno say it herself?

The one who benefits from this
is the one who released the clip.

You all saw who benefits the most.

Hey!

Stop fighting each other.

Polls are just numbers.

POPULARITY POLL
PARADORN, NANNO

Even if those numbers say we're losing.

Hello.

- Nanno.
- Thank you.

Then we have to come up with more policies
and finish them tonight,

so we can continue the campaign tomorrow.

We have hundreds of policies.
What else do you want?

Even if it's thousands,
you still have to think of something.

Whether it works or not, who cares.

Hey. If that's the case, Paradorn won't be
different from the previous president,

making promises he can't keep.

- Please vote for Nanno.
- Number 2.

- Nanno! Nanno!
- Please support Number 2, Nanno.

Please vote for Number 2.

- Vote for Number 2.
- Don't forget to vote for Nanno.

Nanno! Nanno!

Hey!

You know,

I've been preparing since last year

for this year's
student body president election.

I've been brainstorming policies
with the team nonstop.

But you…

You didn't even seem prepared at all.

And look at you now.
You're even more popular than me.

How did you do it?

Yeah.

How do you think?

I misunderstood.

I thought people would choose a leader
based on reason and facts.

But in reality, that's not the case.

You're really serious
about this election, aren't you?

Because this is my first step.

The first step to changing something.

Starting from this school,

so that in the future,

I might have a chance
to change society for the better.

Better how?

The way you want it to be?

But there are still three days left.

Anything can happen, right?

Hey!

sh*t.

Oh.

Hey.

- Does it hurt?
- Oh.

That's bad.

SUPERHERO!

Please don't get up yet.

Easy.

I THOUGHT HE WAS SUPERMAN

Are you okay? Take it easy.

Is he okay?

Are you all right?

Damn, that was so cool.

Are you all right?

Wow, that's straight out
of a Korean drama.

{\an8}Such a gentleman.

{\an8}THE REAL HERO

{\an8}I'LL VOTE FOR HIM

NO NEED FOR AN ELECTION. CROWN HIM.

WE NEED SMART CROSSWALK PROJECT!

VOTE NUMBER 1

ELECTION DAY

BALLOT FOR THE 66TH STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT

CANDIDATE NUMBER

CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. PARADORN
THE 66TH STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT

Congratulations, Paradorn.

Thanks, Nanno.

Hey, hurry up.

Take these three boxes out
and replace them.

What the hell?

sh*t!

What the hell did you do, New?

Do you even realize?!

Damn. I might have already won.

Damn it.

Damn.

Damn you.

You're really working hard
at being an idiot.

I…

Paradorn Tangnaitham,

the 66th student body president,

have discovered that there was fraud
in this election.

The one responsible
is one of my own party members.

I was the one
who replaced all the ballot boxes

to ensure Paradorn's victory.

- What?
- What the f*ck?

- Just get out.
- Why would you do that?

- Go home and don't come back.
- Yeah.

- Terrible.
- Get out of here.

- Go away.
- What an as*h*le.

- Look at him.
- Just go home.

- as*h*le.
- It's my vote.

How could you do that?

Why?

To show my sincerity

and take responsibility

for selecting a corrupt team member,

I hereby resign from my position
as student body president,

effective immediately.

What the hell is this?

Why didn't you destroy the evidence?

I didn't make a copy.

Why didn't you expose me yourself?

I just wanted to know

whether you're really a hero or a villain.

Haven't I already proven my innocence?

By getting New expelled?

That so-called "innocence"
is pretty brutal.

I'll tell you something.

Anyone who wants to go into politics

must have a clean record.

You can't afford stains like this.

And besides, those who do wrong
should face the consequences.

Isn't that fair?

And what if you lose

the next election?

Remember this.

People like me

don't make the same mistake twice.

Humans tend to repeat the same mistakes
over and over again

until they die
or until they finally stop being foolish.

That's not me!

But most people die
before they stop being foolish.

What makes you think
you'll be any different?

Because you think
you're better than everyone else?

That's exactly

why I like you, Paradorn.

Shall we find out

what kind of person
you'll become in the future?

HOMECOMING DAY

OUTSTANDING ALUMNUS
MINISTER PARADORN TANGNAITHAM

I would like to thank
the alumni association

for granting me
this outstanding alumni award.

As you all know,

I first ran for election at this school.

But it's more than that.

Everything that made me
who I am today started here.

Hey, hurry up.

Take these three boxes out
and replace them.

Hurry. What are you doing?

If we get caught…

How would you explain this, sir?

Did you rig an election before?

Please answer, sir.

He's so fake.

I shouldn't have believed him.

I'm not voting for you anymore.

- Yeah, me too.
- You as*h*le.

That's not what happened.
Please listen to me.

Hey, I did my best. I took responsibility.

Please… I already took responsibility.

Hey, listen to me.

I already took responsibility.

- Sir, answer us.
- What really happened?

- That's enough. Excuse us.
- Answer us, sir.

- Excuse us.
- Hey!

Think again.

Hey, hurry up.

Take these three boxes out
and replace them.

Hello, New.
Call everyone for an urgent meeting.

I want us to start working on
the smart crosswalk project immediately.

We finally won, Paradorn.

Damn, this is amazing.

I've been waiting for this day.

ANNUAL POLICY: SMART CROSSWALK PROJECT

Right, Paradorn?

Paradorn.

Hey, Paradorn.

Are you okay?

Nanno!

Nanno!

Tell me the truth. Is what I saw real?

You don't have to believe it.

Then delete that damn clip
right here in front of me.

I said there's no copy.

- So then there's no copy.
- You think I'm stupid?

I don't need a copy.

Because your wrongdoing

goes far beyond that.

Hey. I almost really got hit
by the car earlier.

You should pay me more.

We agreed on the price.
That's all you get.

Why are you asking for more now?

That accident where you became a hero

was your doing too, wasn't it?

Like I said,

people keep making
the same stupid mistakes until they die.

Some people,

even when they stand in the light,

let darkness consume them.

But others,

even when surrounded by darkness,

refuse to let
their inner light be extinguished.

Hey!

Nanno.

How did you get here?

Shouldn't I be the one asking you?

Honestly, I feel happier right now

than I did
when I was appointed as a minister.

As everyone knows,

I first ran for election at this school.

But it's more than that.

Everything that made me
who I am today started here.

HOMECOMING DAY
OUTSTANDING ALUMNUS

A world that has been reset…

I hope
there are still some good people left.

See you again next semester, everyone.
