Big Thing (Korean: 대물; Hanja: 大物; RR: Daemul) is a 2010 South Korean television drama based on manhwa artist Park In-kwon's comic Daemul, and stars Go Hyun-jung as South Korea's first female president.[1][2][3] Number one in its timeslot for 11 consecutive weeks,[4] it gained successful ratings due to its cast and story arcs based on topical and controversial themes.[5][6]
Anchorwoman Seo Hye-rim (Go Hyun-jung), who gets fired while protesting about her husband's undeserved death, enters politics through the proposal of Kang Tae-san (Cha In-pyo), a member of the ruling party and a strong candidate for the next presidential elections. With the help of Ha Do-ya (Kwon Sang-woo) whom she's known since childhood, Seo becomes the first female president of South Korea. With political pressure and threats of potential impeachment from her rival Kang and his allies, Seo faces the crises and challenges of her term.[7]
