Assembly (Hangul: 어셈블리; RR: Eosembeulli) is a 2015 South Korean television series starring Jung Jae-young, Song Yoon-ah and Ok Taecyeon. It airs on KBS2 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 20 episodes beginning July 15, 2015.
Jin Sang-pil has been a shipyard welder for 23 years, but when he and his fellow workers get laid off, he fights for their reinstatement as the spokesman for the labor union. To his surprise, this leads to him becoming a newly elected member of the National Assembly. But because of his idealism and naiveté, Sang-pil finds it difficult to navigate the corridors of politics. Enter whip-smart aide Choi In-kyung, who shows him the ropes and together they work to accomplish real change within the government.
The drama airs with English subtitles on KBS World one week after its initial broadcast in South Korea.
This is Jung Jae-young's first Korean drama series in his prolific career as a film and stage actor.
Prior to becoming a drama screenwriter, Jung Hyun-min worked for ten years as a political aide for a member of the National Assembly.
