Hey, that's still left. The 500,000-dollar collateral.

Mr. Gu, shall we sell that before the expensive car?

Sure. I don't want to be here another instant.

Call a loan shark or sell me off.

Okay, sure.

Mr. Gu, take your pick.

Chirp Chirp is volunteering to pay us back.

Will you both calm down?

Why pretend to have a conscience when you did this?

What's wrong with this?

He assaulted a passer-by just because he was in a foul mood...

and you turned that into self-defense.

Did you lie that they assaulted each other?

Ms. Seo.

I was the defense lawyer.

Whether my client's trash or inhumane,

I don't want to know or care.

I did as best as I was paid.

- What's wrong with that? - What?

Did I pretend to have a conscience? Me?

When I only did what I should for my client?

Are you saying you did the right thing?

Not really. I went overboard and made a miscalculation...

that got me in this situation. My yacht.

My villa.

Move, move.

Mr. Gu.

I can't sell these. Not these.

The date for the auction is already set.

We must sell that to pay back the clients what they paid already.

Please. I must protect these babies.

You helpless money-maggot.

You haven't changed one bit.

I was mistaken for a while.

Your wing feathers are digging into your flesh...

instead of coming out.

A lawyer does their best for their client.

Don't you get that?

If you disagree with the ruling, go to the judge.

To Judge Song Eun Hye.

I believe she lives very close by.

She has no client and she's going down,

so she's putting on a show to null our contract. Right?

How about I send her packing and start over?

She's not that kind of person.

You stomped over the poor...

and made a fortune working like an insect for the rich and what?

What about the firm and industry?

You monster, pervert, social evil.

Really? Just a moment.

What's all this?

- What's going on? - It's crazy over here.

We got back all the clients that went to Tae Rim.

Then what?

Did I just save B and G?

Am I a hero?

Mr. Bang has been looking for you for a while.

Okay.

Head a department?

Yes. You have the experience,

and you deserve that much after what you did for us.

I'm so grateful that you acknowledge that.

I'll work to the skin...

Stop trying to quote stupid proverbs.

Okay. I'll work really hard.

I treated you harshly, didn't I, Sang Koo?

Not at all.

You wanted me to...

You wanted me to do well.

To grow up.

I know that's what you meant.

Sang Koo.

You need to lead a team of your own.

Will you act a bit more dignified?

You can do this, right?

Yes. I'll bet my hand that I can...

Don't do that.

Okay. I'll do well.

I'll act dignified. With purpose.

Anyway. Thank you.

Act dignified.

Thank you.

That fool.

Hey.

Congratulations. I heard you're heading a team.

Don't congratulate me.

You must've gotten a higher position.

The vice-presidency that people were talking about?

No. I like it where I am now.

You wield the most power from that desk.

You should go and meet your team.

I know everyone and have nothing much to say to them.

I should go.

By the way.

- Last time... - Go.

I'm going.

What's wrong? Why is my heart pounding?

Is this...

Is this a cartoon?

A heart can't beat out of someone's chest.

Can we talk?

I have nothing to say.

I didn't mean for this to happen,

but it was bound to happen once.

I thought that at least you here was a decent lawyer.

When I left money-crazed Tae Rim to work here,

I thought there was at least one who wasn't bent or twisted.

I thought I'd have someone...

I could talk to about things other than win rates and fees.

- Lawyer Kang. - I will...

bring back the Tae Rim that you ruined.

- Wait and see. - There's a misunderstanding.

This wasn't the right way.

You should've fought him in the ring we call court.

You said to me once that you don't think this suits me.

You're the one who shouldn't wear clothes that don't fit you.

It doesn't suit you.

Goodness.

He was assaulted?

By his own client?

By the time I got there, he'd been beaten beyond recognition.

He was in a hospital for over a month.

He faked evidence to get a self-defense ruling.

He had that coming.

He talks about doing his best for his client,

but in the end, it was for money.

He paid for not doing his duty...

to seek for the truth.

Do you really think he didn't know?

How cruel Sung Gi Jun is?

A lawyer of Tae Rim's calibre...

would've known better than anyone that doing such a thing...

would bring upon that outcome.

- No way. - His client was...

the son of the president of Hankang Group, Korea's...

third largest company.

Defendant Sung Gi Jun is not guilty.

He'd have gotten off the hook regardless of who the lawyer was.

Tae Rim knew that.

What are you doing there?

I'm throwing out the trash.

Okay.

I found out later that...

he didn't have to beat up...

Sung Gi Jun to get him off with self-defense.

The papers Tae Rim shredded...

was a copy of the old man's criminal record.

That could've been incriminating in court.

Why did he hit the assailant knowing that...

he'd get roughed up himself?

I think that...

Tae Rim knew that no one could punish Sung Gi Jun by law.

Perhaps he carried out his own form of punishment.

His own form of punishment?

Didn't I tell you once?

Even elaborate laws have loopholes.

You once used your fists to sort out a problem.

He acts like all he cares about is money,

but I believe that...

he has his own sense of justice, though it's somewhat warped.

Daesun Meat and Poultry's CEO was arrested.

Don't feign ignorance.

The anonymous tipster was you, wasn't it?

That's why you had Daesun Meat and Poultry's financial documents.

- Professor. - Hi.

Why are you outside?

Jae In. Can we talk?

If you disagree with the ruling, go to the judge.

To Judge Song Eun Hye.

I believe she lives very close by.

I had a long day.

Some other time.

Really? Okay then.

Hello, Mr. Gu.

Will you not come to work today?

Well...

The thing is, I'm not really ready.

I don't think I can face Mr. Go in this kind of situation.

Well, Mr. Go is really weird right now.

Do you think you can get here as fast as you can?

What? Mr. Go?

Just a second.

What's wrong? What is it?

I thought you weren't ready. How did you get here so quickly?

I was contemplating on whether I should come inside or not.

- I see. - Where's Mr. Go?

He's been like that for nine hours ever since last night.

Who is he talking to? A client?

Flustered?

Why would I be flustered for nine hours?

No, not at all. I'm not flustered at all.

Let me ask you again.

Did you get unfair treatment compared to your other...

voice phishing colleagues?

Or has anyone insulted you during a call?

Voice phishing?

Yes, no one's been asking him to take their case.

So he's been waiting all day, and that's the first call he got.

But even so...

You're in the Philippines right now?

If you want to file a lawsuit, you need to come back to Korea.

Of course. I'll make sure you get compensation.

Don't hang up.

Don't hang up.

Are you flustered right now? You're not, right?

What I mean is...

Hello? Hello?

He said he's sleepy.

What are you doing here?

Are you here to pay off your debt?

Yes, I need to come to work to pay off my debt.

Yesterday, you told me to call a loan shark and sell you off.

I changed my mind.

No one's going to hire you as their attorney anyway,

so I'm going to change the name of the firm to "Seo Jae In Law Firm",

earn a lot of money, and just buy this place.

What did you just say?

Then you'll have to start working for me.

So when I say, "Hey, Tae Rim!"

You'll replay saying, "Yes, Ms. Seo!"

You should practice.

Mr. Gu, it seems like Chirp Chirp has finally lost her mind.

No, she is totally normal.

Mom.

Mom, please don't go.

I won't pester you,

and I won't ask you to buy me anything either.

I'll quickly grow up so I can work hard and earn money.

I promise I'll make you happy.

I'll earn money and buy you nice shoes and nice clothes.

So please...

Please don't abandon me.

Cut. Okay.

Great.

Good work.

- Good work. - Good work.

Great work today, Director.

Thanks. You did great too, Ha Rin.

- Good work, Director. - You too.

Good work.

I'll do it.

Don't you think you were being a bit too emotional?

Viewers don't like it when actors and actresses...

exaggerate their emotions on TV.

Ha Rin, did you hear me?

Mom.

How can she act so well?

That's Yoo Ha Rin, the famous child actress.

How can adults be so cold-hearted?

How can she abandon her child like that?

You're like an old lady who would grab an actor by the collar...

if she saw him act as an adulterer on TV.

Yes, I know.

I know she's just acting,

but every time I see Yoo Ha Rin act on TV,

it makes me cry for some reason.

There are two types of successful child actors and actresses.

They're either puppets...

who are getting used by adults for making money,

or they're rude little punks who are way too grown up for their age...

and have a way with manipulating adults.

Which one do you think she'd be?

She's neither.

In a few years, she'll either get involved...

in a scandal with an idol star,

develop socio phobia, and become a hikikomori,

or she'll reminisce on her past...

because she couldn't make it as an adult actress...

and end up retiring as she announces her marriage.

Mr. Gu, do you think he was like this even when he was young?

I'm not sure.

I'm sure Mr. Go used to be pure and naive when he was young.

Pure and naive?

Gosh, I really can't imagine that.

There's no way Santa Claus exists.

But I got a gift from him.

I can't believe I just heard that...

sincere response from a fourth grader.

That's just something dumb adults do to satisfy themselves...

after getting manipulated by toy manufacturing companies.

Then who gave me the gift?

What a stupid question.

Keep your eyes open while you act like you're sleeping.

You'll be able to witness your foolish dad...

secretly coming in and leaving a gift next to you.

Ha Rin, you need to pick out your outfit tomorrow,

so you should sleep early, okay?

Hey, Jae Min.

Do you want to have a party at my place?

Can you tell me what happened when you arrived?

We didn't force her to drink.

She called and asked us to come over.

And she was unconscious when we got there.

I heard she needs to take some time off.

Shouldn't you hold a press conference?

No.

If we tell them that she has acute alcohol intoxication,

her career will be over.

Let's just say she fainted because she was in a bad condition.

Rumours have already spread everywhere.

What if people end up finding out?

We can worry about that later.

We need to make sure she signs an advertisement deal.

That's going to cause a problem.

I'm her mom and the CEO of the agency.

Just do as I say.

My goodness.

Goodness.

She drinks, smokes,

and even fools around with guys. She's a full package.

I guess she's the rude type.

I'm sure reporters exaggerated to intrigue the readers.

Yes, this is Go Tae Rim Law Firm,

and we make sure our clients win their case no matter what.

Am I flustered? Of course not.

Yesterday, I talked to someone who works...

in the same industry as you for a very long time.

- That's right. So... - Gosh, that's enough.

How dare you hang up on our client like that?

Will you please stop asking if he's flustered or not?

What? You're who?

Yoo Ha Rin?

- Yoo Ha Rin? - Yoo Ha Rin.

You're here. You should try it.

This hotel has the best club sandwiches.

That hurts. I want you to leave.

I thought you'd be roasting potatoes with a pure and naive face,

but I guess you're not like that in real life.

Are you Go Tae Rim, the best attorney there is?

According to the articles, you should be hospitalized.

What are you doing here?

I asked a close manager to keep me hidden here.

- And why did you call me? - To hire you.

- You're going to hire me? - I have the money.

Are you going to sue the press for slander?

The press?

The articles are all true.

They actually toned it down a bit.

Ha Rin.

He's Mr. Choi, my manager. I called him here.

You didn't tell her that I'm here, right?

She's looking all over the place for you.

You should stop now.

What if things get worse?

I hired an attorney.

You should tell her to do the same.

- Ha Rin. - I didn't take your case yet.

What are you trying to do?

I want you to help me cut ties with that woman.

- That woman? - My mom.

Your mom?

What do you mean? You're trying to cut ties with your own mom?

I heard minors can also request a suspension of parental rights.

That only applies when it's clear that there's been abuse.

Do you still not get it after having read the articles?

Look at me.

I work during the day,

and I drink and hold parties at night.

I'm a 14-year-old who is psychologically damaged.

You're saying your mom's ways are psychological abuse.

- This is interesting. - It's not interesting.

Ha Rin, don't do this.

You should try talking to her. After all, she's your mom.

We're past that stage.

Right, Mr. Choi?

She's trying her best to be a good mom and a good CEO.

You should stop.

And you're too young to take any legal measures.

It's possible.

Article 924 of the Civil Act.

If a parent abuses his or her parental authority...

and damages or may damage his or her child's well-being,

the court may temporarily...

or permanently suspend his or her parental rights.

The child can also make a request regardless of his or her age.

We can't be sure if that will apply to a case like this.

This will be the first case where it's applied.

You're going to help her cut ties with her mother?

There are two aspects to this.

A pitiful puppet...

who is shrewd and worldly-wise. What an irony.

Ha Rin, the problem is...

the trial might get a little tricky.

Then how about 100,000 dollars?

It's half of what I make per commercial.

Why not the whole thing? Must you split it in half?

I was planning to give you the full amount,

but I heard your firm's reputation is not as good as it used to be.

If you don't want it, I'll find another firm.

I'll contact the Seoul Family Court to file a lawsuit...

against your mom to suspend her parental rights.

That is ridiculous.

I went through hoops to make her a star.

Aren't I right, Mr. Choi?

Yes, of course.

Then why did Ha Rin do that?

Wouldn't it be...

because of her allowance?

She kept using my credit card to buy expensive designer things,

so I told her not to do that.

She probably didn't like that.

That incident probably played a part as well.

Once, she brought home a boy who was dancing on the streets...

and introduced him to me as her boyfriend.

At a glance, I could tell he was using her to become famous,

so I didn't let her hang out with him.

What's wrong with trying to protect my daughter?

So it's because of her spending habit and friends?

Yes, she's putting on a show because she's not getting her way.

The court won't accept such a ridiculous request, right?

Family mediation will need to take place first,

but this article was published earlier today.

It's the most-viewed article at the moment.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Her lawyer blind sided us.

How could a lawyer tell such a blatant lie?

Please calm down first.

You'll have to mentally prepare yourselves...

to deal with that lawyer.

It's you again?

Mr. Kang... I mean, Lawyer Kang.

You're more clingy than a leech.

You're almost making me wonder if you have feelings for me.

This time, I'll beat you so that you can't talk such nonsense again.

At the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History...

You said that last time. Tyrannosaurus.

Anyway, what you said is like 3,490 mummies...

at museums around the globe singing a cappella together.

In other words, that will never happen.

Since she was seven months old, Ha Rin has been...

working non stop like a horse pulling a wagon.

Starting with the baby formula commercial,

diaper, toys, and so on.

Then when she entered elementary school...

To become a genius

Even the study-aid book commercial, which is famous for the song.

She was in countless TV commercials.

Her mother, Ms. Shin Hee Kyung, was an actress in the past,

but her career ended on a bad note.

She wanted to achieve success through her daughter, Ha Rin.

Since her divorce, she's been accompanying Ha Rin to auditions,

and she's been focusing solely on Ha Rin's success as an actress.

Then four years ago, she finally landed a role in the drama,

"My Dad's Girlfriend", which became a major hit.

Ha Rin became popular as a "prodigy child actress",

and Ms. Shin opened an agency and started racking in huge profits.

Ha Rin couldn't even attend school.

Am I the only one who is reminded of kids...

working in mines during the Industrial Revolution?

However, that's when Ms. Shin's life started changing.

She splurged the money Ha Rin earned on designer clothes.

She also bought expensive cars frequently.

She started spending money frivolously.

Also, she dated directors, actors,

and even retired MMA fighters,

causing various scandals.

I heard she has brought them over to her place,

where she lives with her sensitive daughter, Ha Rin.

Ha Rin doesn't even have any friends.

Her father got remarried and started a new family,

so she has no one to turn to.

She started drinking to combat her loneliness,

but it led to alcohol addiction,

and she nearly lost her life.

Based on the aforementioned circumstances,

I strongly request Ms. Shin's parental rights to be suspended.

- Look. - Just a moment.

Why do I think that it sounds like a beautiful story of a woman...

who's been trying her best to survive with her daughter?

What's beautiful about frivolously spending money...

that her daughter worked so hard to earn?

There's a Tanzanian proverb like this.

"A giraffe that knows it's dying..."

"never sticks its neck out to eat leaves."

How would you explain her acting if she hated it so much?

According to Ms. Shin,

Ha Rin enjoyed acting...

and found joy in it.

Until fourth grade, she didn't even know the multiplication table.

Her mother obviously didn't fulfill her duty to educate her daughter.

I even hired a tutor for her.

You hired her as a nanny so that you can go out and have fun.

What are you talking about?

You're the one who brought a bunch of punks over.

Do you know what I've done to protect your public image?

You only did it because you needed me to make money.

And don't call him a punk. He's my childhood friend.

We met before I became famous.

You treated him like trash and kicked him out!

All right, please calm down.

Can this relationship have a positive influence on her future?

Please put the kid's well-being first...

and make a bold decision.

Ha Rin wants to correct her life.

She wants to leave the show business and start studying again.

She wants to learn about our society and normal human relationships.

Ms. Shin, then what are your thoughts on this?

I've told Ha Rin...

that she can leave the show business whenever she wants.

Problem solved.

An employer telling her employee that she no longer has to work...

is another way of saying she'll be let go.

In other words, she's threatening her.

Don't you think you're taking it a bit too far?

You don't need to study!

If you can't be number one, and if you're going to be mediocre,

stop being such a disgrace to our family and get out of my sight!

Well, Mr. Go.

Ha Rin has been obeying her mother since she was very little...

and lacked cognitive skills.

She came to equate her mother's happiness with her own.

However, she's realized how miserable it's been making her,

and she's now trying to get out of that relationship.

It's only natural for parents...

to force the kind of happiness they believe in onto their kids.

And it's natural for kids...

to want to get out of that.

In that sense,

Ha Rin had a normal upbringing and knowing that gives me relief.

That'd be all.

Did it go well?

Unbelievable. How could you call yourself the best lawyer?

What about your attitude? You were such a rude brat.

Aren't you a prodigy child actress? You should've acted all innocent.

Don't put the blame on me.

I guess it didn't go well.

Usually, he says...

10 things when the other side says 1 thing, you know.

But today, he just let them punch him.

How should I put it? Shall I say he looked like a punching bag?

I can hear you. What? "A punching bag"?

Ms. Tough Cookie,

you're one to talk.

You got punched like this,

and that nosebleed.

Then like this.

And another nosebleed. Non stop.

"Gosh, I've lost too much blood. I'm dizzy, Coach."

"Toss me the towel, please."

Jae In.

It looks like I have to live in the office for the time being.

Is there something going on?

Our client is very young,

so I should stay with her for the next little while.

Oh, I see. I was worried.

My heart sank, thinking you're moving out for good.

I'd never do that without consulting you first.

- Right. - Then I'll see you soon.

All right, see you soon.

I should ask you this question.

Why did you come to the court that day?

Oh, was it because of that?

Mr. Bang asked me to meet him at the court,

so I went because I also wanted to see how well you do.

I only realized later on that Mr. Bang had a hidden agenda.

Then what about Sung Gi Jun's self-defense verdict?

I'm not sure what you've heard,

but based on all the evidence and witness testimonies,

the verdict was fair.

So it had nothing to do with Hankang Group?

If the verdict had been swayed by public opinion...

biased against conglomerates, it would've been a bigger problem.

And if his counsel broke the law in any way,

the prosecution should blame its incompetence for not catching it.

My head understands everything you're saying,

but my heart keeps doubting it.

Anyway, I'll see you soon.

Call me from time to time.

Okay.

She doesn't have to stay here.

It's only until the trial's over.

The child guidance clinic gave permission.

Mr. Gu, I have to stay as well.

I apologize.

Don't you apologize.

Make yourself at home.

I won again.

This is way too boring.

Did you call me to be her nanny?

I thought you'd be able to learn a few things from her.

She's just a child actor.

With way more experience than you.

Don't you want to get into acting?

I don't want to get into acting. I am an actor already.

I'll be in a play next month.

- Playing who? - Shylock.

"The Merchant of Venice"?

Act right now.

What? In front of you?

Yes. I'll give you tips.

- I'd like to watch. - Me too.

Just a bit then.

He treated me like a fool.

Everyone got in my way...

and mocked me when I incurred a loss.

You made the typical rookie mistake.

Shylock may be a villain,

but he's human too.

That's the reason Shakespeare's work has such depth.

Right.

Mr. Gu.

He treated me like a fool.

- You're really good. - Am I really?

Won't you say your usual "I once was" line?

I once...

No, I never acted in my life.

He never acted in his life?

Gosh, that looks lovely.

When it was first put in this pot,

all the branches reached out, and it looked a mess.

It took a whole year to make it look like this.

A year?

The longer branches are cut,

and putting balance and space into consideration,

sometimes they're forced to change direction.

From the plant's perspective, it must be constricting.

It could feel so.

But now that it looks so grand,

wouldn't it be grateful?

Drop Monster Pervert's case...

and take on Haeyoung Corp's.

- I can't. - Don't you get the picture?

He's stranded on his own.

Only fools or nobodies would go to him for help.

Don't you get it?

We avoid faeces because it's dirty, not scary.

Anyone who knows what Monster Pervert did...

would never go to him.

This kid doesn't know a thing.

Monster Pervert is just after fame.

Why should we dance to his beat?

- Do you understand? - I'll dance.

If I say no, that means no.

If you want to do it, resign.

If he leaves, I'm leaving as well.

Why is that?

- I'm sure you know. - Is it about Monster Pervert?

You agreed that...

we had to crush him for our firm's sake.

What you did was not about that.

You didn't beat Monster Pervert.

It was just revenge.

In the dirtiest of way.

That's not true.

I went with the simplest and cleanest of way.

Monster Pervert's down for now, but he hasn't lost yet.

Let Lawyer Kang stay on the case.

Is this because I acted without consulting you last time?

Would you have let it go if you'd known?

That's why I did it myself.

I'll back up Lawyer Kang.

You needn't do that. I'll leave.

It's not over.

I happened to hear the tail end of your chat.

I apologize. I got the wrong idea about you.

Using someone's scar to drag them down is what dirty hyenas do.

You wouldn't do that.

What? Hyenas?

Dirty?

What will you do?

Our firm's just about to hit our second prime.

Fine.

But I have a condition too.

Is this really Tae Rim's family's home?

His father is Go Min Seok who was supreme court justice?

That's right.

He cut ties with his son,

so not many people know.

Your name is Kang Gi Seok?

Yes, sir.

What do you think...

keeps the law in place?

I'm not sure.

My humble opinion is that it's the people.

What exactly is "the people?"

Is it the public sentiment?

Or is it politics and politicians?

Or is it the old citizen...

who sells sundae in a market?

Everyone talks about the people,

but they just think that what they hear...

is the sound of the people and they're mistaken.

Even if we can't identify something exactly,

isn't there a spirit that lasts through the ages,

emotions that most identify with,

and values they want for the future?

You're wrong.

It's how everyone clambers for money.

If it will profit them even a small bit,

even if it's an evil law, they applaud it.

If it incurs them a loss, they condemn it first.

That is the people and spirit you speak of.

But...

That's why we need tradition.

That's right, sir.

The fool who goes against...

that tradition and insists that he's better.

Such fools need to be banished from the legal field.

- Mr. Bang. - Yes, sir.

You didn't have to come here.

I was going to sort it out.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Don't you frown.

You insisted, so I got you a backer.

You're trying this hard to beat Monster Pervert.

I had to do something.

I really hate this.

We have no choice.

Let's do what we can.

- He's gravely ill? - Yes.

Mr. Go's father?

Yes.

What now? He looks distraught.

I guess there's always a way out.

Just when I was financially strapped.

Are you okay?

I'm not just okay.

I feel very, very good.

- What? - Wait.

Why don't I sort out my inheritance while I'm there?

Your inheritance?

How much does a house like this cost?

This is massive.

He's sitting on this much cash.

No wonder the economy's frozen.

Now, do you see what you are?

You're just a mudfish...

that causes a mess and blames the mud.

That's what you are.

So you aren't gravely ill.

Goodbye.

You wanted the inheritance that badly?

You only show up...

when you think I'm about to die.

I'm ashamed for having you.

That's not true.

You're ashamed of me...

for fear that I might tarnish your...

and our family's reputation and fame.

Stop embarrassing everyone.

Just take this and leave.

I don't want to take a single penny from this house.

Mr. Go, I finished taking all the photos.

Should I call the appraiser?

What?

Are you looking for something?

Remember the Bonsai tree I saw you cutting last time?

I think I saw the same one at Mr. Go's father's house.

Oh, I see.

Would you believe me if I told you that I was once a prisoner?

What? A prisoner?

It was because I had hired an incompetent attorney.

While I was locked up in jail for two years,

I wrote a letter every day so I could clear my name.

Back then, my wife was about to die because of an illness.

And thankfully, my request for a retrial got accepted,

so I was able to be by her side when she died.

Mr. Go's father...

was the person who helped me back then.

I see.

But how did you end up working here?

At first, I started working here to repay his kindness...

by working for his only son.

But I slowly started enjoying my time here.

I figured if I work for someone competent like Mr. Go,

no one will have to go to jail for something they didn't do like I did.

I agree with that, but I don't like how he's so obsessed with money.

Is that so?

By the way, why did Mr. Go and his father...

end up cutting ties with each other?

I'm not sure, but I heard it started because of a pair of shoes.

A pair of shoes?

- Mr. Jung. - Yes, sir.

Stand up straight.

- Let's start... - Dad!

Dad!

- Mr. Jung... - Get out of here immediately.

- He passed away. - I said, get out!

Hurry!

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Let's clink glasses.

It's nice to see you all.

Why is it so cheap?

The land value of this neighbourhood is constantly decreasing.

Gosh, I need to sell it just when the time is right.

Why is he showing off with something that's eventually going to be mine?

It'll all end up in my hands even if I stay still. Right?

But he seemed really healthy.

It's going to take a long time.

What does that old man eat?

Judging from both you and Ha Rin,

I can see that a parent and child relationship isn't easy.

I couldn't defy my mom.

That's because my mom doesn't love me as her daughter.

What my mom loves is the popular child actress,

Yoo Ha Rin.

Did I cry too fast?

Goodness, no wonder they call you a genius child actress.

You're incredible.

Don't you think this is wrong?

Good job.

My relationship with my daughter...

I'm sure I can recover my relationship with my daughter.

I hope my relationship with my daughter...

My relationship with my daughter...

Ha Rin. Ha Rin.

No. No, Ha Rin.

Don't abandon me. No...

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Ma'am. Ma'am!

Ma'am.

Fortunately, her wound isn't deep. So you don't need to worry.

Why isn't Ha Rin here?

- I called but... - She said she doesn't care.

I know it may be hard, but you must overcome this.

And make sure you memorize this.

You must speak what's in your heart.

You need to talk to your daughter...

from the bottom of your heart.

Shouldn't you visit?

It's not like she's about to die.

Your mom attempted suicide.

There's no need to cause a fuss.

But she's still your mom.

That's enough.

I'm not going to go. I'm never going to go.

A 14-year-old is trying to cut ties with her own mom.

Have you thought of how much she must've contemplated...

and how resolute she must've had to become to do something like this?

Don't ever talk to her like that again.

She didn't seem startled at all...

when I told her about her mom.

It seemed as though she's already been through it before.

Don't worry.

If she's the type to use her child's concern as bait,

I'll help you get rid of her from your life.

What are you doing?

What?

I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier.

No, it's okay.

I'm the one who made a rash comment without considering your feelings.

I want to go outside and get some fresh air.

Really?

Back when I was young,

my dad suddenly went abroad.

So I always longed to have a family.

That's why I couldn't understand when I first saw you.

What about now?

I don't know everything, but I think I kind of get...

why you're being like this.

This is probably your way of showing that you want to be heard.

I'm not talking about fame or money.

I think you sincerely just want to communicate with your mom.

What?

Do you want some?

Ma'am, can I have four, please?

Sure.

No, we'll have 10.

Okay.

Can we please have four-dollars' worth of bungeoppang?

Sure.

It really looks nice.

Was it you?

Don't you think you're identifying yourself with Ha Rin...

because of your relationship with your father?

Do you think I'd make an amateurish mistake like you did?

When it comes to family problems, only you know the truth.

You'll only learn that if you defend someone...

who killed his or her parent.

Even so, they're the only family to each other.

Are you really going to let her be?

What would you do?

If you keep putting on an act until the end,

you'll regret it later on.

Just tell her how you feel.

We'll review the family court investigator's report...

and hear each party's final pleading before making our decision.

Please begin.

Just share your honest feelings with us.

You're used to playing different characters.

Can you not even tell your own thoughts without a script?

No, it's not that.

I'll speak on your behalf, then.

You keep regretting filing this suit against your mom, right?

Your heart is breaking, but you're doing your best to hang in there.

Then drop the suit.

She mustered up a lot of determination to do this...

for her mom, whom she loves dearly.

Her mother, Ms. Shin, slit her own wrist because she couldn't handle...

the stress from the suit.

Ha Rin, you're aware, right?

But you didn't even visit her.

Can a daughter, who claims to love her mother, do that?

Visiting her mom would've made all her efforts go down the drain.

We did some research and found out...

that her mother, Ms. Shin, had done it twice in the past.

The first incident...

goes back to two years ago when Ha Rin, who was at the peak...

of her popularity, suddenly gained many anti-fans...

and became a target of harsh criticism.

Ha Rin even considered retiring from her acting career,

and Ms. Shin slit her wrist.

Then last year, some new child actors burst onto the scene.

The demand for fresh faces...

resulted in a sudden drop in Ha Rin's workload.

When that happened, Ms. Shin did the same thing once again.

Ms. Shin, is it not true?

Every time that happened, Ha Rin tried to understand your pain...

and did her very best to overcome the crisis.

Did you expect the same thing to happen this time, Ms. Shin?

Who would be thinking that when trying to take their own lives?

Does it make sense to you?

No, the real problem is more serious than that.

To her mother, Ms. Shin,

Ha Rin's success equalled her own success.

At least, that's what Ha Rin thought.

Hence, to stay in shape,

she didn't even let herself eat bungeoppang, which she craved.

She always did her best not to be a nuisance to her mother.

Drinking until you end up with acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome...

is almost like a suicide attempt.

How do you think Ha Rin learned to do that?

And that's why they should receive treatment together...

and be there for each other, don't you think?

That's impossible.

They must sever their co-dependency.

Otherwise, they won't be able to start afresh.

The connection between a parent and a child is too deep...

and strong for it to be severed by such speculations.

This is hard because the connection is deep and strong.

Success calls for ambition,

and too much ambition destroys you.

Ha Rin brings misery to her mother's life,

and she knows that.

She wanted to visit her mother, but she stopped herself...

because she wanted to save her mother.

I'd like my mom to forget about me...

and live her own life.

But I do want to live with her again eventually.

Because she's...

my only mom in this entire universe.

That'd be all.

Ms. Shin, please go ahead if you'd like to say anything.

I have nothing to say.

You'll move to London?

Yes, my aunt who lives there will look after me.

Isn't it so cool? I'll go to school in London.

Thank goodness we found a guardian for you so easily.

I'm fine to live here.

I refuse.

Does that mean you'll retire from the show business?

Yes, my public image has been ruined anyway.

Still, what a waste.

Child actors are like commodities with short shelf life.

I've done enough, so I'm onto the next chapter of my life.

Dear viewers, thank you for all your support over the years.

Ha Rin had a great time.

Goodbye.

"I do want to live with her again eventually."

"Because she's my only mom in the entire universe."

Those lines sound very familiar.

They're famous lines...

from Episode Four of "My Dad's Girlfriend", starring Ha Rin.

In the drama, you said that to your dad instead of your mom, right?

You're a natural-born actress. You must come back to the showbiz.

Learn as much as you want in the country of Shakespeare.

Okay. I'll be off, then.

Ha Rin, eat this on the way.

You can have it.

I really hate bungeoppang.

- What? - Bye, everyone.

All right, let's go.

How much of what she said is true?

Chirp Chirp, aren't you sick of talking about "truth" all the time?

The truth will come to light soon.

Look. I got a full health checkup, and my heart is totally fine.

No, it can't be.

Why would I like Ms. Min? She's a gangster.

Goodness, what am I doing now?

All right, fine.

I like Ms. Min.

Gosh.

What's this? Is this broken?

I hate Ms. Min.

Ouch!

Ms. Min... I mean, that gangster.

The boss of Medusa Gang, Min Ju Kyung. I totally hate her.

Ouch! My gosh.

What?

Is fate toying with me?

Mr. Na Cheol Jin, whom you inquired about,

is at a broadcasting station to do makeup on cast members.

Okay, thank you.

Where's she going all dressed up?

Is she meeting a guy?

No way.

Are you looking for something specific?

What are you selling?

Oh, room diffusers. Birth month flowers.

I see.

Hang on. Ms. Min's birthday falls on the exact same day...

as my birthday.

That means we're meant to be.

I'll get one with the birth flower for March.

- Do women like this? - Of course.

I see. Could you also give me a card?

Here you go.

Oh, just a moment.

He was here until just now.

Sang Koo, get him! That jerk!

What? Who?

Sang Koo.

Sang Koo.

Sang Koo, open your eyes. Wake up!

My goodness.

Sang Koo, open your eyes!

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Please get out of the way!

Sang Koo.

Sang Koo.

Wake up. Open your eyes!

Please wait here.

Ms. Min. No, Ju Kyung. Happy birthday.

I know that you always...

took care of me and supported me from afar.

You had to console and encourage me a lot more than the others...

because I'm such a troublemaker.

But thanks to that, I got to know you a lot better.

I'm both grateful and apologetic.

And I love you.

Sir, why did you take this off?

I'm sorry. I'm allergic to adhesive tapes.

Gosh, that... That stings.

Ms. Min.

You jerk. You are unbelievable.

What's the matter?

My gosh.

"The next generation's unconventional businessman."

"As soon as Chairman Sung retired due to his health issues,"

"he instantly got promoted."

"He's the CEO of Hankang Distribution and Hankang Chemistry,"

"and he's also the director of Hankang Group."

He's incredible. Plus, he's pretty good-looking.

Good-looking? Do you even know what he did?

I should've studied harder and become a prosecutor.

Don't say that in front of me. I didn't even pass the bar exam.

Look who is it.

A prosecutor is here.

He hates evil,

but he loves money.

Seol Hee, please accept this.

Why are you giving me this all of a sudden?

I followed your advice and became an attorney.

I got you this to thank you for your advice.

I really think I was born to be an attorney.

He's no longer a prosecutor.

My goal is to become an attorney like Monster Pervert.

Monster Pervert?

I'll become the next Monster Pervert and win every single case.

Then I'll come back and propose to you.

Bye, then.

He suddenly seems a little attractive.

This jerk is able to walk around with his head up high...

because the world we live in is so rotten.

Ambition! Challenge!

I'm sick of old-fashioned words like that.

Instead, we need to be fun and happy.

A cheerful environment where people enjoy their work.

That's the kind of company we should aim to become.

And in order to do that, it must start with you.

You must have fun...

and enjoy.

That's how you need to change.

I meant they should resign, but they don't get it.

I think Mr. Jo is getting ready to file a suit.

That jerk is bothering me until the very end.

Should I take you to B and G?

No.

I already thought of a place.

- Hello. - Hi.

Where's Mr. Go?

- It's been seven hours. - Again?

You need to come back from the Philippines...

in order to file a lawsuit.

No, I'm not flustered.

Hello? Hello?

Will you please stop?

If I stop, will you bring me clients instead?

I stayed up all night to discuss whether I should...

sign a deal with a huge voice phishing organization or not.

But what about you? What have you been doing?

Am I finally getting a client?

What did I tell you?

People can't ignore the fact that I win every single case.

I'll be right there!

Long time no see, Mr. Go.

Are you Sung Gi Jun?

Hello. Who are you?

How did you get in here? What's your name?

Yu Ra.

Yu Ra? I see. Your name is Yu Ra.

- What are you doing there? - Pardon?

Oh, well, someone's here.

What? Where did she go?

Didn't you see a little kid sitting here?

No, I didn't see anyone.

She said her name is Yu Ra.
