A comedic action-crime romp where a gang boss pursues his dream of becoming president to win over the woman he loves, blending absurdist humor with romantic and political scheming.

Jang Se-chool is the boss of a gang. He has been in love with Kang So-hyun for the past 3 years, even though she constantly rejects him and tries to push him away. Having had enough, she tells him that she can't be with him because she wants to be the first lady of Korea.
