The teaser is quite interesting as it is clear that this political drama will be filled with plotting, murders, and power struggles.

From the first teaser revealed, we can see Sol Kyung-gu as Park Dong-ho, who says that by assassinating the president, he has crossed the line, and there are no limits for those who cross it.
Meanwhile, a woman says that in politics, power is superior to morals. Dong-ho wants a week to gain control over the NIS, the Prosecutor’s Office, and the police. A week to dig into the president’s son, Jang Hyeon-su. A week to catch Jeong Su-jin and the Daejin Group. A week to toss all the garbage out of this world. So, just one month—will you please give me that time to turn the world upside down?

The plot of the upcoming drama revolves around Park Dong-ho, the resolute and idealistic Prime Minister of South Korea, who is determined to cleanse the political landscape of corruption. He targets the deeply corrupt president, who colludes with powerful family-owned conglomerates known as chaebols. These chaebols wield immense influence over the country’s economy and politics, perpetuating a cycle of corruption and exploitation. Park Dong-ho envisions a new era for South Korea, free from the grip of these entrenched interests, and embarks on a mission to dismantle this unholy alliance and restore integrity to the government.
Amidst this turbulent political climate, Jung Soo-jin, the formidable Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, emerges as a pivotal figure. Known for her sharp intellect and unwavering principles, Soo-jin finds herself at odds with Park Dong-ho. Despite their shared goal of reform, their methods and visions for achieving change clash dramatically.
