Memorials is a 2020 South Korean television series starring Nana, Park Sung-hoon, Yoo Da-in, Han Joon-woo and Ahn Nae-sang.[3] It aired on KBS2 every Wednesday and Thursday at 21:30 (KST) from July 1 to August 20, 2020.[4] [5]
The series is based on the screenplay by Moon Hyun-kyung which is the grand prize winner in Broadcasting Content Promotion Foundation (BCPF)'s 10th Find the Desert's Shooting Star Screenplay Competition, held in 2018.[6]
Koo Se Ra (Nana), who has lived all 29 years of her life in Mawon-gu, is nothing but an underqualified struggler with a poor financial background. On one hand, this over-passionate, self-proclaimed Tax Guardian never lets a single wrongdoing slip through her until it is filed and settled as a civil complaint. However, because of her nosy nature and her tendency to lose temper over unrighteousness, she gets fired from an internship, from a contract position, and even from an outsourced job, to name a few from the list of her former employers. Although not intended, she finds herself gradually turning into a professional resignee and decides that it's time for a change. This time, her passion steers toward the District Assembly, so called the employees’ utopia. In fact, now that she has entered the ring, her only option is to run for the office, to get elected, and to stay elected.
