Through the experiences of conservative newspaper editors, members of Congress, big businessmen, underworld gangsters, prosecutors, etc., and through a series of narrative techniques such as interludes and flashbacks, the film exposes the corruption and dishonesty of South Korean politics. The president running for election and his aides and the big chaebol behind them use each other to do whatever they can for their supreme power and interests, even killing innocent people indiscriminately. Power is undoubtedly the dream that every political person wants to pursue. With it, one can satisfy selfish desires, improve social status, gild oneself, and increase the bargaining chip for showing off. However, after any power there is a more powerful invisible black hand at the end. The little gangster An Shangjiu once thought that he had found a backer, so there was a temporary wind and water. The prosecutor Yu Changxun, who represents justice, is actually one of them. It's just that he didn't find a suitable and reliable hand behind him. That's why he went from being a police officer to a prosecutor and then to a lawyer. Life must be hard. As long as there is politics, there are all kinds of interests and intrigues, killing a puppet, and more people wanting to be the next, so this is the darkness, the darkness that will never be dispelled.
