Kang Ho-chan’s dream is to become a TV producer. Since his father’s retirement, life is difficult at home and his family has high hopes for him. However, he fails to enter a TV channel and eventually ends up getting a part-time job at a government office to support his family. One day, a full-time employee resigns and Ho-chan’s boss offers him a permanent position. Ho-chan hesitates between his long-time dream and a steady job. After thinking long, he chooses to accept the offer, but someone else gets appointed for the job he was offered.
“In Korean society today, it has become harder to find satisfactory alternatives for work or even second-best choices. Confronted with social issues such as contract-work problems, intense competitions, economic recession, etc., it is difficult to find a more clear-set and reliable alternative. Shouldn’t an ideal society be filled with more alternative choices"? Lee Yong-seung
