I'm really upset.

I don't have a problem with accepting fair criticism.

But they said they wouldn't eat our macaroons

even if someone offered them money

and that they even got stomachaches after eating them.

How are we supposed to deal with such lies?

Is it possible to sue the power blogger

and all the people who left comments on the post?

Of course.

You can sue them for spreading false information and slander.

First, you should file a complaint. And at the same time,

you can also file a damage suit against particular suspects.

I'm having nightmares every single day these days.

I've come to respect the celebrities that I see on TV.

I wonder how they manage to bear with all the mean comments online.

By the way, your secretary must really like macaroons.

Send me screenshots of the comments that you think can be a problem.

I'll send you the petition as soon as I'm done writing it.

And if you're fine with that, I'll go ahead with the suit.

Okay.

Thank you for buying me so many.

Thanks to you, I'll get to eat so many macaroons.

No problem. You can eat them and give me an objective opinion.

See if they're bad enough for people to make harsh comments about them.

Is that why you took me with you? To make me taste the macaroons?

Okay, sure. You can count on me. I really love macaroons.

But even if you like them that much,

do you really think you can eat everything all by yourself?

I'm not going to eat this all by myself.

I'm only going to have one and share the rest with everyone at the law firm.

I'm a loyal woman, you know.

Not only are you loyal,

but you're also attractive and warm-hearted.

Who are you?

The Mr. Kwon I know isn't capable of being so sweet.

Who are you?

I'm kidding.

I didn't know you could make such sweet comments,

so I couldn't believe what I just heard.

From now on, you should say that kind of stuff more often.

Okay.

Aren't you going to eat one?

Which one should I eat?

The names of the macaroons are really interesting.

"A taste I cannot stop craving, mocha macaroon.

Tasty and pretty, chocolate macaroon.

A taste that calls for a kiss, mint macaroon."

I wonder what kind of taste calls for a kiss.

- We're back. - Hello.

Hello.

Ta-da.

Mr. Kwon bought macaroons for us.

- They look so delicious. - You can take whatever you want.

I want the strawberry flavored one.

I want the chocolate flavored one.

I'm going to have the Earl Grey flavor.

Yoon-seo, you should have this one.

"A taste that calls for a kiss, mint macaroon."

Goodness, I don't want to kiss anyone.

- My goodness. - What?

Mr. Kwon, do you need anything?

From now on, I'm not going to ask.

What? What do you mean?

You said I shouldn't ask.

You're not going to ask?

Here?

That's right.

I always checked if you delivered the sentencing properly.

but I won't anymore since you always do a good job.

Gosh, I'm tired. I need a cup of coffee.

You're insane!

Even if it was that good...

What are you talking about? What do you mean it was good?

Well, I can't say that it wasn't.

Darn it! Whatever.

This is a sacred workplace. Yoon-seo, please.

Just focus on your work.

Focus. Concentrate!

Here's the material you asked for.

Thanks.

It's just like the owner said.

The hate comments are unbelievable.

The macaroons were of decent quality,

but people wrote mean, emotional comments instead of evaluating the taste.

Some even wrote lies about how

he didn't work at a German bakery.

He must be truly upset over this.

Many wrote hate comments about me back in the day,

so I know how he feels.

I tell myself hundreds and thousands of times

to not care and to be strong and brave.

However, some comments stabbed me in the heart.

I still haven't forgotten about them,

and where they stabbed me still sting from time to time.

Why didn't you sue them?

Well, I did.

However, when I met them, they were either students

or the breadwinner of a family.

Punishing them didn't seem right.

So I dropped the charges after they promised not to do it again.

The phone's ringing.

Just how brutal were the hate comments?

OH YOON-SEO

TOP CELEBRITY OH YOON-SEO QUESTIONED ON DRUG USE

I'm pressing charges.

Sorry? On what?

I looked up the comments written about you.

These aren't just hate comments. It's a crime.

They must know what they did

by writing such malicious things.

Also, they should be punished severely.

So right this instant...

Why are you laughing? I'm dead serious right now.

I'm happy, that's why.

What? What are you happy about?

How could I not be?

You rarely show emotions.

This is how you normally are,

but you're outraged because of what happened to me

as if it happened to you.

From now on, what's your business is my business.

I'm really fine.

Thank you for caring though.

Ms. Oh, how about we go to dinner...

What?

Okay, fine. I got it!

Precedents? I'll look them up for you!

Did you really need to grill me about them?

My timing was awful, wasn't it?

I'll let you get back to your business.

Mr. Kwon, are you all right?

- Yes, I'm fine. - I'm sorry.

I improvised so that we wouldn't get caught.

I even acted a little.

Right. I applaud you for being so quick-witted.

You're quite strong too.

Actors seem like they live glamorous lives,

but I think it's a difficult job.

All the awful comments must be considered as one's fate.

Still, I had more happy moments than difficult ones.

An interesting script would make my heart thump.

Being on a busy set made me feel like I'm alive.

When the audiences' responses are positive,

I feel gratified.

Most of my memories are happy ones.

There was a show I worked on called Signal.

That's the one I remember the most.

I had to bring out a new side that was hidden within me.

It must be memorable because it was a challenge for me.

I liked every project I worked on, though.

However, you wouldn't know since you never watched any.

Well...

Sorry, I need to take this call.

Yes, this is Kwon Jung-rok.

Sure. I'm outside right now,

but I'll send you the document as soon as I get back to the law firm.

Sure, of course.

Take care.

Do you need to head back to the law firm?

- Yes. - Then why did you leave?

I wanted to give you a ride home.

Really?

You didn't have to.

This must be why people get into relationships.

It's so nice to have someone who cares about me

and looks out for me.

There was a show I worked on called Signal.

That's the one I remember the most.

However, you wouldn't know since you never watched any.

"A woman becomes an insurance planner

at Signal Insurance.

She turns her life around

after becoming a top salesperson."

SIGNAL

Detective Lee?

What on earth happened

in 1997?

I know though.

You had your appendix removed.

However, your insurance didn't cover

any of your actual expenses.

Life doesn't end at 60.

You can change your future.

Please don't give up!

How could you cheat on me?

How can you love two women

with only one heart?

SOFT BUT RICH, THE ONE SIP THAT FILLS ME UP

I miss her.

You're more surprised than I expected you to be.

Although, that's the reason why I didn't call ahead.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Ta-da.

I brought some late-night snacks for you.

You must be slightly hungry by now,

and I wanted to see how you were doing without me.

Also, I missed you.

So what were you watching when I walked in?

The TV series you were in.

You look amazing in them.

Right? Don't I give off a unique vibe?

I know I'm not a master at acting,

but my acting isn't all that bad either.

That's right.

Even if you see those mean comments, there's no need to feel discouraged.

- Since they aren't true at all. - I couldn't agree more.

If you see those types of comments from now on,

press the thumbs down button.

Okay.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I wonder how much you were hurt

in order to become this composed.

I know you must have gone through some hard times.

I feel happy that you overcame it.

Yoon-seo.

Mr. Kwon didn't come back yet, right?

Join us for lunch then.

Oh, well...

I'll just wait and have lunch with him.

He'll be back pretty soon.

If I say I ate alone, he might think I'm disloyal.

All right then. Enjoy your lunch.

You too, Ms. Yang.

When is Mr. Kwon coming back?

These dumplings taste really amazing.

Mr. Yeon, you spattered hot stew on my face.

From now on, I think we should exclude hot stews like this

from our lunch menu.

What if I suffer a burn on my handsome face

just because of a pot of dumpling stew?

That's what you call, "Penny wise and pound foolish."

Penny wise and pound foolish, my foot.

Ms. Dan, are you going to put up with this nonsense?

- Say something. - What?

- Me? - Yes.

I know you loathe Mr. Choe.

So don't hold back and criticize him all you want.

When did I say I loathed him?

I think you should stop eating dumplings.

There are eight dumplings, so we should each have two.

However, you've already had your share.

Why are you being so cheap over a dumpling?

We can just order more.

Shall we order more then?

But it might take time for them to cook new dumplings.

We don't have time to wait.

Mr. Choe, you can just let me have your share.

No way. I love the dumplings at this restaurant.

I will never give my dumpling to you, Mr. Yeon.

It's too great to give up on.

I won't let someone like you take her away from me.

She's too great for you.

Do you know how much this vest costs?

Oh, gosh.

What's wrong, Ms. Dan?

What are you doing?

Why are you holding your cheek like that?

Is it a toothache?

Do you have a rotten tooth? Open your mouth.

If it hurts, you should hurry and go to the dentist.

It's not anything like that.

Come on, it's obvious you're suffering from a toothache.

You're not usually a bright person either,

and if you keep scowling like that, your clients will feel uneasy.

If it hurts, go to the dentist.

I'm telling you, it's not a toothache!

Ms. Dan, you must like salad.

Hot pot bulgogi, jjajangmyeon.

Kimchi stew and rice?

Pizza?

Everything sounds so good.

Gosh, lunchtime is almost over. When is he coming back?

MR. KWON

Yes, Mr. Kwon. When are you...

What?

You'll be late?

Yes, my meeting is taking longer than I thought.

I'll just have lunch here.

You should go have lunch too.

Okay. I'll see you later then.

Okay.

I should've gone with Ms. Yang to lunch earlier.

I'm so full.

Wasn't the stew a bit salty today?

Really? You ate two bowls of rice, so I thought you had a huge appetite.

I ate two bowls because the stew was too salty.

I was neutralizing the saltiness with rice.

You should've drunk water then. Who eats more rice?

I heard dandelion tea is good for gastritis.

Drink this instead of coffee.

By the way, when are you going to pay me back?

PROSECUTOR YOO YEO-REUM

Among the items we confiscated,

there was no smoking gun that could prove his charges.

For now, our request to extend Jeong Ji-ho's imprisonment

won't be accepted.

When Jeong Ji-ho was caught for illegal gambling abroad,

his company probably pulled strings for him in advance.

This wasn't completely unexpected.

Attorney Choe Yun-su is an expert in this field.

Do you know Mr. Choe well?

I used to. We worked together at the special prosecution department.

He used to be the best prosecutor in catching economic criminals.

Now, he's just an attorney who does the dirty work for conglomerates.

Anyway, good job. I'll take care of the rest.

Okay.

How about dinner next week? I'll pay you back then.

What are you smiling about?

- Who is it? - Yeo-reum.

What?

Since we're on the subject, let's make things clear.

I still have feelings for Yoo Yeo-reum.

She is the only person whom I feel attracted to.

So from now on, don't cross the line.

I don't want to lose a competent junior

who's good at her work. Okay?

Mr. Kwon, here is the material you asked for.

Thanks.

It's time to go home now. You should go.

Okay.

Oh, it's because

I didn't have lunch.

Why didn't you have lunch?

What do you think? I wanted to eat with you, so I waited.

But you suddenly called me that you'd be having lunch outside.

So all I had was Job's Tears Tea.

You should've had something alone then.

You know that I can't eat alone.

Why on earth can't you eat alone?

Mr. Kwon, you must've forgotten

because I'm always by your side, and you see me every day.

I used to be a celebrity.

If I went about on my own, I might've gotten into trouble.

Also, I was a top star who didn't have time to eat alone.

But you're not now.

Gosh, seriously.

That's true, but...

I don't have the courage to suddenly do something

that I've never done before.

I'm also reluctant since I might look pitiful if I eat alone.

Anyway, it's difficult for me.

You must be starving. Let's go get something to eat first.

That sounds like a good idea.

- I'll go and finish up then. - Okay.

Is this the place you want to recommend?

- Is it a famous restaurant? - No, it's a one-person restaurant.

- A one-person restaurant? - Yes.

All the seats are separated by partitions like a reading room,

so you won't know who is sitting next to you, or what they're eating.

It's the perfect place to learn how to eat alone.

Wait. Time out.

Learn how to eat alone?

Why should we eat separately when we came here together?

You need to practice in advance, just in case you need to eat alone

when I'm not around.

Still, I don't want to eat alone.

If you can't eat alone, there is nothing you can do on your own.

I'll help you, so let's practice.

Why are you sitting so far away?

To help you think that you're actually here alone.

Mr. Kwon, would you like a piece of dumpling?

Act like you're here by yourself and focus on your meal.

To be honest, I feel really awkward right now.

I really don't know where to look.

I figured it might be less awkward if I text while I eat.

That's only going to make it longer for you to finish your meal.

So let's talk later. You should focus on eating for now.

Mr. Kwon.

I just told you to focus on eating.

No, that's not it.

I wanted to ask you to take a photo of me eating alone.

It's really meaningful to me, so I'd like to keep a record of it.

Make it look like a paparazzi photo if you can.

Mr. Lee, you're going home late.

I had some work to finish up.

- Why are you going home at this hour? - I met up with a friend for a cup of tea.

I see.

She must be really tired.

She was also dozing off like this when I first saw her.

I'm sorry.

I'm Lee Du-seop,

and I'll be working here as a paralegal starting from today.

He used to be a detective, so he'll be of great help.

Ms. Yang, I told you to go home.

I'll go right after I'm done with this.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Yang looks really tired.

Once she goes home, she even needs to take care of her kid.

She has a kid?

Isn't she cute?

Her tae kwon do instructor sent it to me.

She looks so cute.

Yes, she's cute.

I thought to myself that her smile looks really pretty.

So I wanted her to keep smiling.

She seemed exhausted,

but I hoped that her life would be filled with things

that constantly made her smile.

That's probably when

I started liking Ms. Yang. Huh?

Ms. Yang.

Ms. Yang.

- It's time for you to get off. - Goodness, already?

Thank you always. I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Lee.

- Okay, go home safely. - Bye.

Why are you sitting there all by yourself in the dark?

No reason.

Can you fix me a meal? I'm hungry.

Thank you for driving me home.

You worry about all the mean comments that I get,

and you even taught me how to eat alone.

You're really...

I give you 99 points out of 100.

Why did I lose one point?

Because of the way you talk to me.

If you weren't so formal to me, you would've gotten 100 points.

Can't you talk to me more comfortably?

You always call me "Ms. Oh."

But instead of calling me that,

you can call me Ms...

No, wait.

Just call me Jin-sim.

- Gosh, that's too-- - Why?

You should treat me more comfortably like you treat Prosecutor Yoo

and Prosecutor Kim.

I'm close with them because of the time we spent together.

If you suddenly ask me to change the way I talk to you,

don't you think I'd feel taken aback?

"Don't you think I'd feel taken aback?"

Did you just imitate me?

"Did you just imitate me?"

See? Doesn't it sound really formal?

It sounds scary, doesn't it?

No, it's cute.

I don't think I can suddenly change the way I talk to you.

Plus, if I suddenly change the way I talk to you,

won't our colleagues grow suspicious of us?

I think we should be careful for your sake.

Okay. I guess you do have a point.

By the way, I have a question.

You'll be leaving the law firm in about a month.

What are you planning to do after you quit?

- What? - You went to law school,

which shows that you were interested in law.

Are you planning on pursuing a career in law?

Well...

Hyeok-jun! My goodness.

Go away. Hey.

Hyeok-jun. What are you doing here?

I told you that I'll come home on my own. Why did you come?

I came to give you some side dishes.

But... Hey, Mr. Kwon.

Why did you drive her home today?

- Why would you ask him that? - I mean, it's just weird.

What will you do if a paparazzi takes a photo of you guys?

That's nonsense. It's been ages since I had a paparazzi follow me.

My gosh, let's go. Hurry.

Mr. Kwon, I hope you go home safely.

Let's go.

Where did he go?

That's enough!

Come on.

Her cousin is overly protective of her.

I really don't get your relationship with that attorney.

Sometimes, it seems like you like him.

But sometimes, it seems like you resent him.

You seemed like best friends today. You guys seemed awfully close.

We're close. We've grown on each other.

Hyeok-jun, about this project...

- This project? - Yes.

The on-the-job training I'm doing

for Lee Se-jin's drama.

- Yes, what about it? - I was thinking...

Would it be okay if I told Mr. Kwon about it?

Why? Why would you tell him?

I just feel bad

about lying to him.

I see him every day, and it makes me feel guilty.

I know Ms. Lee and Mr. Yeon

told me to keep it a secret.

But it's not like Mr. Kwon has a big mouth.

So I was thinking about telling him.

Hyeok-jun, Mr. Kwon is a very trustworthy guy.

If I tell him about my situation,

I'm sure he'll understand everything.

Yoon-seo, I get that you feel uncomfortable.

However, the main point of this project is to keep it a secret.

Ms. Lee wants all the attention to go to her writing.

Her first and foremost condition was to keep it a secret

that you got cast for her drama before an official article got released.

We need to keep that promise.

I'm just worried that Mr. Kwon might get disappointed

if he finds out about it later on.

So what? You won't be seeing him again once you quit.

Yoon-seo, don't worry about disappointing the attorney.

Instead, worry about how disappointed

Mr. Yeon and I would be if you mess up this project.

Telling him will put me in trouble,

but lying to him makes me feel awful.

Will he feel betrayed when he finds out later on?

Because I wasn't honest?

Yes, dried squid.

- You're late. - Yes.

Were you on a date with the universe's goddess?

Stop it before I kick you up there.

How about some beer and grilled squid?

I'm good.

If that's what she wants,

then I'll try.

Ms. Oh. Jin-sim?

Jin-sim, did you get home safely?

Jin-sim. Jin-sim. Jin-sim.

Jin-sim, you're very pretty.

Unbelievable.

It looks delicious.

Hi, Jin-sim.

Jin-sim. Jin-sim?

- Jin-sim. - This is truly unbelievable.

You must have been with her all day,

yet you're here still yearning for her.

Love. It must be love.

Why didn't you knock?

- Can you come here? - Why?

Are you showing me a photo of your girlfriend, the universe's goddess?

No, it's a photo of the house you'll be moving into once you move out.

Oh, this one looks nice.

You can move in instantly.

- Instantly? - Yes.

Don't you think that's a little harsh?

Check the layout.

Like this. See?

It looks nice and all,

but I'd rather take my time looking for one.

Anyway, just keep practicing.

Jin-sim, how about we go get lunch?

My gosh.

- This is awful. - Tell me about it.

What are you two looking at?

This video was uploaded on an online site I frequently visit.

Someone recorded a video

of middle school girls harassing other girls.

- Would you like to see it? - Sure.

Keep your promise.

- Don't forget it next time. - Aren't they mean?

They are.

What are you talking about?

My daughter's at the police station?

SANGDO POLICE STATION

Keep your promise.

- Don't forget it next time. - Hold on.

You're saying that this girl's my daughter.

Mom, it's not me. It really isn't!

That's what Jin-hui claims,

but the bullies at the school

who are also harassing the girl in the video

as well as the victim Park Min-ju

all argue that

- Jin-hui took part in it. - It's the truth!

She's been stealing my daughter's money and harassing her for no reason.

You have no idea how devastated I've been.

The money she took from my daughter isn't a small amount either.

What did you spend it on?

It wasn't me.

- It really wasn't. - Of course it was!

How dare you lie to me!

You mean little wench.

Ma'am, I understand that you're upset,

but nothing's been proven yet,

so please refrain from harsh comments.

Nothing's been proven?

The other kids have already testified,

and she's there in the video.

The bully's face can't be properly seen in the video,

so you can't be sure that it's my daughter.

Also, she doesn't own a down jacket like that.

- Still-- - Furthermore, I'm sure that it's not her,

because that's just not who she is.

My daughter wouldn't harass and bully her friend like that.

Look here.

That's what all mothers of bullies say.

They all say that their kids are sweet.

But your daughter isn't!

She's mean and cruel!

I thought I made myself clear.

Please refrain from harsh comments.

If you find any issues,

please investigate according to the procedure.

Let's go.

I'm going to press charges.

I'll sue you!

Don't worry. I'll take care of this.

Thanks for believing me.

There's no need to thank me.

It's a mom's job to believe her daughter.

You should get going. You'll be late for class.

Buy a snack if you get hungry.

All right. I'll get going then.

Take care.

I see.

Don't worry, Ms. Yang.

Why would you when all we have are attorneys here?

Of course. We'll talk more in detail tomorrow.

Don't worry too much, okay?

Is Ms. Yang in some sort of trouble?

Her daughter Jin-hui was named as a school bully.

She seems to have been framed.

- Could you perhaps help her out? - Of course.

Really? That's unexpected.

What do you mean? Is that what you think of me?

You're prickly,

but also talented.

Anyway, help her in any way you can.

Ms. Yang only has Jin-hui, remember?

Unbelievable.

How dare they say that about my daughter.

Gosh.

Is it so hard to hang your clothes back up?

Goodness, let me see.

Why isn't she picking up?

It can't be true.

Is this how it's going to be?

Jin-hui, I didn't do it on purpose.

Ms. Yang, don't look so glum.

Our top attorney has agreed to help you, so why worry?

He's right. There's no need to worry.

I'm sure it'll all work out.

From what I hear, your daughter has been framed.

I don't think she was.

I guess

I didn't raise her right.

She was bullying her friend.

When I asked her where she got her down jacket from,

she couldn't answer me.

I think

she bought it with the money she took from the other kids.

I always felt sorry for her

because I couldn't provide much,

but I was confident I loved her more than any other parent could.

I'm not sure about anything else,

but I thought I raised her into a kind and sincere daughter.

But how could she...

How could she do that?

Ms. Yang.

What should we do?

Ms. Yang went through so much raising her.

Are you sure the girl in the white down jacket is Jin-hui?

Considering the circumstances, Yes. Ms. Yang said so too.

Jin-hui is consistently denying that she didn't do it.

And usually in these types of situations,

the parents are the ones who lack objectivity the most.

Because they can't help but react emotionally.

For that reason, we need to focus just on the facts.

You're right.

We can't confirm the assailant's face properly.

And the statement that Jin-hui is the assailant may not be true.

As long as we're on this case,

we shouldn't make any prejudgments whatsoever

that our client is guilty.

Then like you said, I'll go listen to Jin-hui and think about this

- from her perspective. - Okay.

Is it okay if I go with Ms. Oh?

Sure, go ahead.

I heard a lot about you from Ms. Yang.

I always wanted to meet you. It's nice to finally meet you.

It's not me.

I really didn't do it.

I know. We believe you.

So can you tell us honestly?

The victim pointed you out as the person

who bullied her.

Why do you think she did that?

Did she have a grudge on you from before?

I didn't even know her.

Then what about the other bullies?

The ones who blamed you for everything. You don't know them either?

Then can you tell me about your down jacket?

Your mom said she didn't know how you got it.

I'm sorry, but I'll leave now.

Even my mom doesn't believe me. What more can I say?

- Jin-hui. - Wait.

Isn't she the one in that video?

She doesn't look like a bully.

I know. What's wrong with her?

Jin-hui.

Why are you following me? I have nothing more to say.

By any chance, do you

like tteokbokki?

What?

How did it go?

Well, Jin-hui kept refusing to talk to me.

But it seems that Jin-hui

isn't a girl who would do something like that.

Maybe she's being threatened.

Threatened? By whom?

Do you mean the real assailant?

Is that why she can't say anything

even when she's being framed? Because she's afraid?

Usually, there are two reasons why victims don't point out the assailant.

They're either being threatened by the assailant,

or they want to protect the assailant.

For Jin-hui's case, I think it's the latter.

According to the statements from the victim's parent,

the victim suffered from continuous bullying at school.

- So to check if it was true, - Hold on.

I checked the CCTV footage of whenever Jin-hui and the victim were together.

Yes. She's the girl who fought with Jin-hui in front of the academy.

I thought Jin-hui was bullying her.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

I'm Seo Jin-hui's mom.

Do you have a minute to talk?

The assailant, Park Seon-yeong,

was close friends with Jin-hui since they were kids.

But at a certain point,

she started hanging out with other bullies and started to change.

She borrowed Jin-hui's down jacket

and assaulted the victim.

That video spread across the Internet,

and the real assailant framed the owner of the jacket,

Jin-hui, because she was afraid of being punished.

Then the reason Jin-hui didn't mention this is...

They were close friends since they were young.

And she still had affection for her.

I think Jin-hui was waiting until she confessed.

Since she has confessed, the police will end the internal investigation.

They'll book her on charges of assault accordingly.

I'm glad.

Do you have something to say?

I promised Jin-hui that I'd keep this a secret.

But I think you should know.

It turns out,

Jin-hui met with her dad sometimes.

I'm not going to meet you from now on.

I don't want to lie to Mom and keep meeting like this.

That's just wrong.

She said her dad bought that down jacket for her.

Really?

But why didn't she tell me?

Well, she was worried you might get hurt.

That's why she couldn't tell you honestly.

She couldn't say anything about

her meeting her dad or being framed

by her close friend.

It must've been really tough for Jin-hui.

Did you meet your dad?

What?

I was walking by, and I saw you with him.

Well...

I'm sorry, Mom.

Why are you sorry?

Dad is someone who hurt you.

You must hate him.

I'm sorry I met him behind your back.

It's all right.

I'm sorrier.

You must've needed your dad,

but I didn't even understand how you felt.

I made you suffer so much.

I'm sorry.

Also,

I'm sorry for not trusting you

until the end.

I'm sorry, my daughter.

Don't cry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is so cute. There's no need for this.

You went through so much trouble for me.

I feel grateful and sorry to you.

There's no need to feel sorry.

All of us here receive so much help from your mom all the time.

Compared to what she did for us,

this isn't even comparable.

So you don't have to feel sorry.

- Okay. - So

from now on, don't do anything to upset your mother.

You know how much your mother adores you, right?

Of course I do.

This is so cute.

How is Yoon-seo at work lately?

There's no trouble with that Kwon Jung-rok guy anymore?

No, she's doing fine these days.

It's a pity Yoon-seo met such an ill-tempered boss like that.

Do you know what stresses people out the most at work?

It's stress due to their bosses.

They should all just get along, but they continuously

nag their subordinates over nothing important.

I hate it. It's so annoying.

It is annoying. I can't agree with you more, sir.

By the way, is that the only shirt you have?

You wore the same shirt two days ago.

Really? Your memory is incredible, sir.

You're more incredible.

Are you going to wear that 30,000 won shirt for 30,000 years?

It's like you've become one with that shirt.

Think about our company's reputation.

- Get yourself a new shirt. - Yes, sir.

Gosh, that's hot.

Why would you gargle with coffee?

I mean, the way you made that noise...

I hate it when people make noises when they drink or eat.

- Don't do it again. - Yes, sir.

- Why? Do you have a problem? - No, sir.

It really is hot.

Sir, someone sent a gift for Ms. Oh Yoon-seo.

Really? You can put it right there.

Thanks.

Gosh, it's been ages since someone sent Yoon-seo a gift.

I didn't know she still had a loyal fan.

Hey, isn't that something he used to send her from time to time?

Yes, it is.

Where is Lee Kang-jun

right now?

From what I know, he's currently living in the US.

Unlike the steel industry which is going through a slump,

Jeguk Biotech is constantly showing signs of profit.

Their goal is to raise 30 percent of their current stock price

by the end of the year.

I guess she's doing well.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because you're so handsome.

What? Why all of a sudden?

I always come to respect you

every time you win a case.

I think being an attorney is really cool.

To be honest, I didn't major in law because I was interested in it.

I actually made my debut back when I was in high school,

but my dad was really against it.

He was worried that I might get hurt

because the entertainment industry is so harsh.

But I kept insisting on pursuing my career as an actress,

and that's when he told me to go to law school.

He said he'll approve if I got into law school.

That was his way of saying

that he'll never let me work as an actress.

That's how impossible it was.

It wasn't like I was really good at studying.

But you see, I studied really hard

and got myself accepted to law school.

Like I already told you, I'm really good at memorizing stuff.

But because I went there with the wrong purpose,

I didn't find it any fun.

That's why I quit after a semester.

But if I knew how cool this job was, I would've studied harder.

I keep having regrets these days.

It's not too late.

If you wish to study law, I'll help you out.

After all, you started working here

because you wanted to learn about the job.

Right.

- Mr. Kwon. - Yes?

How about you, me, and Ms. Oh go for a drink after work?

- What? - It's for having helped Ms. Yang.

I'm grateful that you helped her out without even getting paid.

I wanted to treat you guys, so I already made a reservation.

But Mr. Lee apparently can't make it today.

So the three of us will have to drink without him.

What do you say?

Ms. Oh, what do you say?

- Sure. - Great.

I'll see you guys later, then.

Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to go.

To be honest, I'm not really feeling very well today.

Then I'll drink on your behalf.

You will?

Can you hold your liquor?

I can't exactly drink a lot,

but I don't like getting wasted in front of other people.

So I always stay alert

and make sure I never drink over my limit.

In other words, I'm really good at keeping myself under control.

I have never gotten drunk in my entire life.

Mr. Yeon.

- Do you know Thomas Hobbes? - Thomas Hobbes?

Yes, Thomas Hobbes.

Thomas Hobbes, the philosopher.

"The state of men is nothing else but a mere war of all against all."

That's what he said.

I can't agree with that statement.

Especially, his statement of limiting an individual's interest

- for the public's interest-- - Mr. Kwon.

I don't know if I'm here to drink or to have a debate.

- Let's stop talking about Hobbes. - Oh, okay.

Then let's start talking about "actio libera in causa."

- What? - Sure, that sounds like fun.

Who is she? Your ex-girlfriend?

It's quite an unusual name.

Creating the condition of his or her own defense.

"Actio libera in causa."

Article 10, Section 3 of the Criminal Law.

If someone intentionally or accidentally incurs

their own mental disorder

and gets themselves in trouble or commits a crime,

do you think it's right for them to get punished?

What do you think, Mr. Yeon?

How is that you're boring even when you're drunk?

Seriously, Mr. Kwon.

Is he like this every time he gets drunk?

This is my first time seeing him drunk.

Mr. Kwon, why did you drink so much today?

Oh, right.

I drank on behalf of Ms. Oh.

That's why I drank a lot.

Ms. Oh told me that she's not feeling so well today.

Why would you drink for her just because she's not feeling well?

You're normally so cold-hearted and merciless. So why would you...

Well...

I guess he was worried that I might not be able to work tomorrow

if my condition got worse.

In that sense,

let me go

to the bathroom. I need to go to the bathroom.

I'll be right back.

- Hobbes. - Hobbes.

- Actio libera in causa. - Actio libera in causa.

I thought he was giving you a hard time,

but I guess he cares about you.

- Yes. - Back when you told me

that Mr. Kwon teaches you a lot of stuff and is considerate,

I didn't buy it.

I just couldn't believe it.

But seeing how he even drank on behalf of you

with that cold-hearted personality of his,

I guess he really does care about you.

It seems like you guys became very close.

Yes, I guess so.

I'm starting to think

that Mr. Kwon might feel sad once you leave our firm.

By the way, are you preparing well for the drama?

Yes.

When I first heard

that you're getting ready to act as an attorney in a new drama...

When I first heard that

you'd be working with us for three months,

my heart almost exploded

due to excitement.

We only just said hello, but you'll be leaving soon.

You don't even have a month left.

Time sure flies, doesn't it?

I've been keeping my lips sealed, so only I know of this.

But when you go back to acting

and appear as an attorney in the drama,

the people at the law firm will be shocked.

Even Mr. Kwon who rarely gets surprised.

Right?

Yoon-seo, thank you.

It all worked out thanks to you.

I honestly didn't do much.

Anyway, I'm glad everything was cleared up.

My daughter and I promised

to never keep secrets between us again.

I learned that you shouldn't keep secrets

from those close to you.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Here, have some water.

Thank you.

Thanks.

How can you be so serious even when you're drunk?

You talk in the same manner too.

Do I?

"Do I?"

Still, I got to see you drunk.

I'm happy that I got to see a new side of you.

I'm happy too.

I'm glad to get to know a new side of you every day.

I heard about your time of hardship

and saw how adorable you were as an actress.

I'm happy to get to know more about you

one by one at a time.

Actually,

I

haven't told you everything yet.

There are things I still haven't told you.

Well, you see...

I didn't keep it a secret on purpose.

But...

It's nothing.

We should head inside. It's cold.

Let's go.

It's all right.

You don't have to tell me.

Even if you are keeping a secret,

I couldn't care less.

If you're doing so for your sake,

then I'm okay with it no matter what.

I like you.

I like you, Oh Jin-sim.

I've thought about it, and I don't want a point deducted.

Isn't it thrilling and romantic?

Those are the good days. Showing their affection in secret...

- Is there something in your eye? - Yes.

You must be crazy. Why can't you help yourself?

Destiny? Destiny, my foot.

Is this why people get married?

- You should come to my house. - To her house?

What if she thinks I'm after something else?

I've never had a boyfriend come to my house before.

I wanted to enjoy the time we had left together.

We only have about a month.

I don't want to provoke him.

I know.

I know he caused trouble for you.

Lee Kang-jun's back in Korea.

Is everything all right with Ms. Oh?
