Master Peace

Ju Incheol had it all — a well-tailored suit, strong political connections, and a successful career as the chief aide to Assemblywoman Lee Myeongsun, a cabinet minister with a bright future ahead of her. The world of politics is a high-wire act; one false move and you can fall from great heights.

When Incheol loses his footing in the cutthroat hierarchy at work, he is given an impossible task: to resolve an explosive redevelopment dispute in Jungang District in Songmun City. If he fails, he will be exiled from the world of politics.

But he’s ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done — until he meets Ahn Pyeong-hwa, the menacingly quiet owner of the gym next door; he holds the answer to Incheol’s problem. But there’s a catch: in return for his assistance, Pyeong-hwa wants to be hit by Incheol.

There is something very sinister behind that request.

The deeper Incheol gets into the deal, the more every favor and every punch he throws pulls him deeper into a world where political power and sexual pleasure are two sides of the same coin.
