Dangerously Excited

Synopsis: Han Dae-huei, a public official in charge of residential pollution of Mapo district. No one can disturb his composure: a man who never loses his temper: a man of tranquility; the apotheosis of snobbery. He is a typically unenthusiastic public official up to his bone. Never expect him to try a new thing or change anything.

a Mapo Film production

Environment Dept.,

Han Dae-hee speaking.

How can I help you?

Hello? I'm calling from

Mt. Sungmi and...

I think a man in a suit

hung himself here.

You know the Acadia tree

beside the spring?

Sorry, you called

the wrong department.

Pardon?

But this number is on the sign,

'Keep the mineral springs clean'.

We specialize in groundwater,

so you'll need to call 911.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry.

It's just that I'm so frightened.

Excuse me.

It's dangerous times.

It wasn't this bad

ten years ago.

Competition, competition, competition.

Limitless competition!

Yes, thank you.

Die instantly if you lose,

take it all if you win.

You have to be careful,

again and again.

DANGEROUSLY EXCITED

Environment Dept.,

Han Dae-hee speaking.

How can I help?

Han Dae-hee?

You must be new.

Anyway,

How could you charge us

for throwing waste by mistake?

When did you start working there?

Don't you know who I am?

Owner of a newly built $2M building

trying to save petty waste charges.

Sir, please lower your voice.

You think I'll lower my voice

'cause you told me so? Huh?

This is why we are not

a developed country!

You let those bands play

at this hour?

Think this park is a concert hall?

I stayed up all night working,

but I can't get any sleep!

Why do I have to listen

to their sh*t?

Please lower your voice.

Sir, I understand...

They are selfish.

A band is all about balance.

They don't know music these days.

Guitar should ride the groove...

What does this guy want?

He wants to sleep

or critique the music?

Why'd you penalize

my vehicle only?

- Sir, we're not just penalizing...

- I'm not a sir to you!

Mister...

Mr. Chauffeur!

People like him are the enemy

against civil workers.

Bothersome people

relieving stress out

on civil workers,

Exceeding twice the limit...

Forget it!

- They exist.

- What are you looking at!

Actually many.

Why don't you go

fix your vehicle instead!

How dare you!

- I could hit you!

- Go ahead and hit me!

But people like him

are easy to deal with.

There is a reason people

call me the man of composure.

Don't get excited over

people who seek vengeance.

An advice to those

who want to be a civil worker.

If you have a temper,

don't be a civil worker.

Take it easy.

It's dangerous to get excited.

You lose if you do.

My name is Han Dae-hee.

A manager at the district office

Environment Dept.

Trash, water, stench, air pollution,

brooks, sewage, noise pollution...

Our department handles all that.

A salary of $35K before taxes,

including benefits.

No overtime.

No unpaid wages. Secure job

until retirement. No complaints.

If no one bothers me, working here

is better than being a Samsung exec.

Our report is more about how it looks,

and I'm good at it.

My report looks more substantial

than anyone else's.

So my superiors look to me

when there is a problem.

Han is the expert on this.

I'm pretty successful here.

I'm all ready to be promoted

to a higher division.

Dae-hee, the boss wants you.

Dae-hee, when?

My colleagues believe that

I'll be a Deputy Director one day.

All I need is for time to pass.

Real estate?

It's going down.

But not here.

Businesses expands fiercely

around this college districts.

No available rents nearby

Hongdae,

the popular hip area.

So I bought a place here.

Using all my savings and a loan.

Seoul is vast.

You got to play smart.

It's a new $20,000 GDP era.

Apkujung and Chungdam

are for yuppies.

Hongdae area is

for the hippies.

So Hongdae area will be like

Japan's Shibuya.

So for the past 10 years,

I survived the competition.

I didn't get here

that easily though.

Alright. Let's say that being

a civil worker is the best.

What do we do

after we leave work so early?

Still, being a civil worker is

too boring and nothing changes?

But not for me.

That's why I like it.

That nothing changes.

Girlfriend?

They come and go.

Been a year since my breakup.

I'm fine with it.

Hobby?

"Intro to Tennis", "Intro to Golf"

"Common Sense... "

My hobby...

Well...

My hobby is reading.

The three best tropical fishes?

Flatfish, Greenling, Rockfish.

Guppy, Gourami, Sumatra.

The world's three top beers?

Pilsner.

Lowenbrau.

Guinness.

How about the world's

three best soups?

Come on,

you can't grade soups.

It was a joke.

The world's three best soups are

Yan wo, Bouillabaisse,

- and Tom Yum Goong.

- Tom Yum...

Well, it's not like

I've tasted them.

You're so well-educated.

Yeah, you must've read

a lot of books.

I just have a good memory.

This stuff really impresses

my colleagues.

You need just enough

to go with the flow.

Is it served with...

Wanna go to the bookstore?

People these days

don't like to get into depth.

Frankly, my hobby is...

watching my favorite shows.

I read that Korea's GDP is 12th

and its happiness index is 49th.

I don't get it

because I'm happy.

I try to be humble considering

the disadvantaged people.

But to be honest,

my life is fun.

Being at peace and living without

surprises is most essential in life.

I dance under

the orange street lamps

The night gets deep

and I lose my sleep

I dream under the gray moonlight

I watched absentmindedly

without saying a word

Unlike my unbearable self...

Who are you?

This is breaking

noise and fire regulations.

A report came in.

We weren't loud.

We even used

the smallest amp.
