Original subtitles

I had a great time today.

I wanted to watch that movie with you,

so I'm glad that we got this chance.

I'm glad you think that way.

It was perfect.

It was the kind of goodbye party that I expected from you.

"Goodbye party" seems a bit harsh, right?

It seems like we're parting,

but we only won't be seeing each other at the law firm.

Although, that's quite sad too.

Ms. Oh Yoon-seo.

Why are you suddenly calling me by that name?

Thanks to you,

I was happy.

Why are you saying that?

Just like that movie,

you'll go back to your world,

and I'll go back to mine.

That's what I want.

What are you saying, Mr. Kwon?

We...

should break up.

Why are you being like this all of a sudden?

Did I do something wrong?

Is it because I lied to you?

Do you suddenly feel betrayed now that you think about it? Or...

Did the paparazzi's photo make you feel uncomfortable?

Do you feel pressured because of all the attention I'm getting?

Can you please say something?

Why do we need to break up?

Yes, you're right.

Because of all the reasons you just mentioned,

I've come to a conclusion that we shouldn't date each other anymore.

That's why

I think it would be best that we break up.

Mr. Kwon.

Thank you

for everything.

Yoon-seo.

Yoon-seo.

Is she still sleeping?

Yoon-seo.

Yoon-seo, what's the matter?

Yoon-seo, did you cry?

Hyeok-jun.

Yes, that's right. I'm right here.

So tell me what it is.

What's wrong?

Mr. Kwon broke up with me.

What?

He said that this is where our story ends

even when he admitted to liking me so much.

Even when he promised to always be on my side.

How can someone change so suddenly?

How can a relationship end with just a few exchanges of words?

I've never experienced a breakup before,

so I don't know how to act or what to feel.

Yoon-seo,

you have to clear out your desk at the law firm today,

but I'll do that for you. Stay home and rest.

No, I'll go.

It doesn't seem like you're in a shape to do so.

Still, I need to see Mr. Kwon.

Yoon-seo.

Yoon-seo.

Mr. Yeon, why are you sighing?

The law firm feels oddly dim today.

Do we have a burned-out bulb?

Mr. Yeon, I don't think that's what it is.

The six fluorescent lights we have are shining brightly

in their designated places.

Is that so? Why does it seem dim then?

Is it because of Ms. Oh?

That's right.

The luminous goddess is gone, and darkness is back at the office.

You're right. It does feel a bit empty around here.

Even we feel her absence,

so I can't imagine how it is for Mr. Kwon.

Ms. Oh helped him greatly as his secretary.

Her presence must be irreplaceable.

Just imagine

a young lost deer that has nowhere to go.

That I'm not sure about.

Anyway, Ms. Yang, aid him with whatever he needs.

Sure. I'll look out for him more.

Ms. Oh?

Ms. Oh!

What are you doing here?

I thought you weren't coming in anymore.

Well, I had to clear out my desk.

We could've just mailed you your belongings.

You didn't have to come down here personally.

Just because.

She doesn't seem like her bubbly self today.

Mr. Kwon.

I'll get going then.

I'm leaving.

Once I leave, there's no turning back.

Are you really not going to look at me?

You did a good job during your time here.

I hope that you do well even after you leave.

ATTORNEY KWON JUNG-ROK

WHENEVER AND WHATEVER! JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED

- Yes? - If you don't have plans,

join me for drinks tonight.

Sure, I'd like that.

I've actually been craving some myself.

Jung-rok.

What are you two doing here together?

We agreed to give us another shot.

You have no idea how clingy she was.

So, I agreed to accept that devotion.

I gave in to her tenacity and persistence.

Stop joking in front of him.

Don't you know that he takes everything seriously?

Actually, you're wrong about him on that.

He's not the stiff and wooden person he used to be.

He's totally different now.

Dating someone has made him that way.

- Really? - Yes.

If the old Jung-rok were like this dried squid,

the Jung-rok that now dates

is as soft and spongy like this egg roll.

What's with the long face though? Don't you like my analogy?

I'm sure Ms. Oh would agree.

While we're at it,

let's ask her to join us.

He's right. You should ask her.

You'd better brace yourself

because you'll be shocked to see how smitten he is with her.

Don't just sit there. Call her.

Hold on.

Is this place a bit too shabby to call her?

Shall we go to a wine bar nearby?

Let's do that. This place is too exposed,

and she might feel uncomfortable.

- Right? - Yes.

There's no need.

Why? Are you worried we might tease her?

Look at him. This is how much he cares for her.

We broke up.

What do you...

What? Why?

If I stayed here longer tonight, I'll just make you guys uncomfortable.

Let's meet up again next time.

I'll get going then. Have fun.

Jung-rok.

Hey, how could you leave like that?

Let's go for a drink of soju.

- I sent Yeo-reum home. - Why?

What are you talking about?

When you said that before,

I should've realized that something was wrong.

Let's go. Come on.

- Ma'am, one more soju, please. - Okay.

You're saying

you broke up with her for the sake of her happiness?

Why did you do that if you're going to be this depressed?

You should've stuck with her until the end by all means.

I know well how much she wanted to go back

to that path again.

I didn't want to become a barrier that kept her from going back.

How could I do that?

There was nothing else I could do besides letting her go.

Still...

Ms. Oh doesn't even know this fact.

She'll just remember you as a jerk who suddenly changed.

That's so...

So,

how did you endure it?

After you broke up with Yeo-reum.

How did you endure it?

However, regarding the damage caused by infringement of copyright,

the software developed by the plaintiff is being

sold individually and independently. Taking this into consideration,

the scope of compensation for damages

must be limited to the infringement committed by the defendant.

I was investigating the damages for overseas real estate development,

and I found out the appraisal and assessment methods

between foreign investment countries and Korea were different.

And as a result, the company suffered a five-billion-won loss.

He can be held legally responsible for violation

of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act.

Please consider the fact that the program developed

by the defendant while he worked brought huge profits to his company.

I hope the defendant receives the maximum amount of leniency

allowed by the law.

Let's drink to Mr. Kwon who recorded number one in sales.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Mr. Kwon, you've been working like

a madman these days. I love it.

It'd be nicer if you answer me when I talk to you.

But did we have to have a team dinner

just because he recorded number one in sales?

Of course.

It's what motivates our law firm for a better tomorrow.

Mr. Choe. When will you become the star of a team dinner like this?

You said you'd care more about our profits.

You said you'd give up your sense of duty and justice.

But I just want to give you up.

My goodness! How could you say that? That's too harsh!

You're the one that's acting a bit too harsh right now.

Are you upset with me over something lately?

Is that why you dress up like this in order to protest against me?

- You were terrifying with that gesture. - Please, Mr. Yeon.

She looks so pretty. Don't say that.

That's what I wanted to say. You should mind yourself, sir.

And don't eat with food all over your lips.

Is that so?

Hearing something like that in front of everyone is very embarrassing.

Wait a minute.

What is this strange mood?

Ms. Dan and Mr. Choe took turns just now covering for each other.

You can't fool my eyes.

Wait, are you two...

in alliance with each other?

You two recorded the lowest performance,

so you formed an alliance to help each other out, right?

That's ridiculous, sir.

Still, they're better off this way.

Before, they used to bicker like enemies, but now,

they're warm to each other like cherry blossoms,

blooming in spring along the railroad.

Mr. Lee, you speak very poetically.

I don't think you know it. Am I right?

He might even become a poet.

That's a dream that I've cherished for a long time.

Really? Then can you write a poem about me?

The subtitle can be something like "charisma."

That sounds intense.

Don't you think? Cheers.

Cheers.

By the way, why aren't you smiling?

You keep scowling and ruining the mood.

It's okay if he doesn't smile since he's competent.

You can stop smiling, as long as you become more competent.

Mr. Kwon, let's have a drink. With an expressionless face.

Your glass is empty.

Here you go. Let's say cheers expressionlessly.

Eat up.

She's here!

OH YOON-SEO SIGNING EVENT

UNIVERSE'S GODDESS, OH YOON-SEO

WRITER, LEE SE-JIN

JU-HA, OH YOON-SEO

LOVE HURTS

You dropped this.

Oh, my. Thank you.

I usually hate making mistakes.

I don't like people who make mistakes either.

But you're the first one who still looks cute.

I know I wrote this, but this is embarrassing.

It's okay since you said it to Yoon-seo, right?

Ms. Oh did a script reading recently.

I guess she's doing well.

She looks pretty. Look.

Look at Ms. Oh. She's gorgeous as always.

She looks happier than she did at our law firm.

Maybe it's because she's doing something she really likes.

I really miss Ms. Oh.

Me too.

I grew quite attached to her, and I think of her often.

It was fun to chat with her in the office kitchen.

I miss her too.

Right? I'm not the only one who misses her, right?

Mr. Kwon, why aren't you saying anything?

Don't you miss Ms. Oh?

Can't you hear me?

Goodness. He's like a human with no heart at all.

Hold on. I don't see Ms. Dan and Mr. Choe.

I think they both have plans for lunch today.

Honey,

how do I look?

You told me that you like women who wear dresses,

so I bought this online.

It's not too bad.

Honey.

Try this.

I'll dip it in this peanut sauce that's just as sweet as you.

Here you go.

No, Ms. Dan. It's okay.

And I've been meaning to tell you this for a while.

I know that we're dating each other by contract,

but I personally think you're being

a bit too forward.

And that wasn't part of our contract.

Okay, I understand.

Ms. Dan.

By any chance, did you forget the contents of the contract?

Let me remind you one more time.

"Article 1. We will be dating each other for one month."

We have five more days left. I didn't forget.

"Article two.

We are both forbidden to date or flirt with a third party

during the period of our contract."

Yes, of course. I'm not seeing anyone else other than you.

"Article three. During the period of the contract,

we must eat together at least two times a week."

That's exactly why we're eating together right now.

What exactly is the problem?

There are additional articles that can break the contract.

"We shall not make any kind of physical contact."

Does that mean our contract is no longer valid because

our hands touched while trying to reach out for the sauce?

Well, it seemed like it was an accident,

so I'll just end it with a warning.

I hope you're more careful from now on.

Okay, I'll be really careful.

Just a second.

Yes, this is Choe Yun-hyeok.

Gosh, that was really close.

Our contract almost got canceled. What a nightmare.

Left hand, you'd better be more careful.

This is a warning.

Does she like me that much?

Well, of course, I can totally understand why.

But her feelings for me are a bit too much.

What should I do?

I get that she's nice and cute,

but my heart feels so numb.

My heart...

Jung-rok.

It seemed odd that you never drove to work these days.

Have you always been taking the bus?

Yes, kind of.

Since we ran into each other, should we go get some soju?

No, let's just go.

Wait for me.

Gosh, you must be so tired.

Goodness, are you that tired? You must be exhausted.

Did you not get any sleep again last night?

I have no time to sleep.

I need to memorize so many lines.

I know, right? There are so many legal terms in the script.

It seemed like it'll be really hard to memorize the lines.

But having worked at the law firm really helped out a lot.

I've heard of most of the terms.

It makes it easier for me to memorize and understand my lines.

We're here.

Already? Gosh, what are you going to do?

I'm pretty sure the shoot will finish at dawn again.

It's okay. Gosh, my back.

I should go outside and stretch my body a little.

Hello.

I'm relieved that she quickly managed to get better again.

SUPREME COURT OF KOREA INFORMATION CENTER

YOON-SEO ATTENDS A TABLE-READ FOR HER COMEBACK DRAMA, LOVE HURTS

I guess she's okay now.

Cheers.

By the way, what's in that big paper bag?

Oh, I got you some gifts.

These masks will protect you from all the fine dust.

Are you sure you didn't get them to protect me

from all the other women?

Yes, you're right.

And these are

some cosmetics that will make your fine skin become even finer.

And these are vitamins that will enhance your energy.

And these are--

Wait.

Ms. Dan, do you like me that much?

I mean, I'm very well aware

of how extremely attractive I am.

But am I really worth all this?

Yes, you're worth it. You're so attractive.

The more I get to know you, I find myself falling for you even more.

That's why it makes me feel sad.

I like you so much,

but this happiness will only last for five more days.

Can you be honest with me?

How did you feel during the one month

that we've dated each other?

Are you going to end it with me without a second thought

after five days?

You're a really good person.

You take such good care of me, and you're also a little cute.

But how should I put this?

My heart feels numb when I'm with you.

What?

Are you okay?

Why did you drink so much?

Why do you think?

I like you so much.

But once the contract's over, we'll have to go back to being colleagues.

And that makes me feel miserable.

But I guess there's nothing we can do.

It's my fault for having failed to make your heart flutter.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

I'm okay.

I'm relieved.

I'm sorry about that.

What...

What's with that face?

Did you just fall for him?

Yes, isn't he so attractive?

But you were just telling me how much you like me

and that you feel miserable.

You told me that your heart feels numb when you're with me.

I tend to give up really quickly.

Hey, wait. My leg...

I think I hurt my leg a little.

So can you give me your number? I mean, can you give me a ride?

Wait! Hey!

Gosh, my heart...

Why does my heart hurt?

I tend to give up really quickly.

Yes, Mom.

A blind date?

I don't want to go on a blind date.

Yes, okay. Bye.

Mr. Lee, is your mother telling you to go on a blind date?

Yes.

But I really don't have any plans to go on a blind date.

I'm one of those people

who think people who are meant to be are strongly connected to each other.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Why does the defendant's proxy keep asking to change the date?

Don't you think this is a bit out of line?

I'll reject their request for wanting to change the date.

Then I'll submit a document to the department of justice.

Where's Kwon Jung-rok?

- Ma'am-- - Where is he?

Please calm down first.

Where's Kwon Jung-rok?

Where is he?

There you are.

You remember my son, don't you?

You made my son a murderer in court in just a blink of an eye.

Park Su-myeong.

Who was the person that murdered Kim Yeong-tae that day?

The person who stabbed him...

- The person who stabbed him-- - No, don't say anything.

Defendant, please remain quiet.

Don't hit her! Don't hit her!

Don't hit her!

I came looking for you because he doesn't deserve this.

- Ma'am, please calm down-- - Let go of me.

How can I calm down

when this man made my son look like a murderer?

My son

isn't cruel enough

to stab someone twice and kill him!

Ma'am, I understand how you feel,

but Mr. Kwon wasn't the one who decided that he was guilty.

The case was ruled by a judge.

Tomorrow's the last hearing. What is my son going to do?

What if he stays locked up forever?

I will never forgive you.

Never!

Ma'am.

Mr. Kwon, don't let it get to you.

That's just how mothers are.

When push comes to shove and the child is cornered,

parents fail to see the situation clearly

and choose to believe their innocence.

Ms. Yang, don't you agree?

Yes, that sounds about right.

You know how my daughter was accused of being a bully.

That case taught me something.

When a child is pushed into a corner,

no parent is able to think clearly.

The mind goes completely blank.

Mr. Park's mother just needed someone to vent her frustration on.

The situation isn't ideal,

but hating and resenting you

probably kept her sane all this time.

So please try to understand.

The prosecutor will recommend a sentence.

DEFENDANT

The defendant, Park Su-myeong,

adored Im Yun-hui, the victim's wife.

On the night of January 21, 2019,

in order to save Ms. Im who was being assaulted by her husband,

the defendant picked up a knife.

If he only wished to protect Ms. Im though,

he could've called the police or run out with her.

He could've come up with another solution.

However, the defendant chose the most drastic action.

He stabbed the victim once in the abdomen

and once in the chest

and brutally murdered the victim.

Considering all circumstances, it's hard to say

that his actions were accidental

and that he only wished to protect Ms. Im by means of self-defense.

Instead, it's most likely that his violent side surfaced.

That is why I believe he must be

isolated from the public for some time.

I recommend a sentence of 20 years in prison.

Defense Attorney, deliver your closing argument.

The defendant admits all of his actions

and is in deep remorse.

I hope you put that into consideration.

Case number 2019G173.

The defendant Park Su-myeong is on trial for murder.

I will now deliver his sentence.

We sentence the defendant to 20 years in prison.

No! You're wrong!

My son didn't kill anyone!

My son isn't a monster!

- No! - Don't hurt my mom.

- My boy... No! - Not my mom!

- Get away from my mom. - He's innocent!

Mom, take me with you. I want to go home.

Mom, I want to go home!

- Mom! - My boy!

- Mom! - He's innocent!

Mom, I want to go home!

My boy!

Get away from my mom!

Mr. Kwon.

Please help my son.

He didn't kill anyone.

I'm sorry about how I treated you before.

You didn't know the truth, right?

So please, help my boy.

I understand what you're going through.

However, your son

confessed his crimes in court.

That's right. Then you should've let him finish.

Why didn't you hear him out completely?

My son said he only stabbed the victim once.

Then the second stab

might have come from the wife!

He may be a lot of things,

but my son never lies.

I've been suspicious of that woman, Im Yun-hui.

It seemed like she adored my son

so much that she was willing to go to jail for him,

but she hasn't visited him even once.

She disappeared from the neighborhood!

STATEMENT

CELL PHONE NUMBER

The number you have called is not in service.

Please check the number and redial.

Yoon-seo, you're always beautiful, but you look exceptional today.

The makeup looks smooth too.

She's right. You look like a goddess.

I should take a photo later.

Why would you take a photo?

You're not here on a picnic, you know.

Also, don't bother her since she has an emotional scene today.

We must help our actor stay in her character.

Don't you agree?

Why? Do you have a problem?

We're ready to shoot.

- Sure thing. - I'm ready too.

And action!

What is it?

Why are you having a hard time telling me?

- What is it? - We...

should break up.

It's over.

We...

should break up.

Cut. Okay!

Yoon-seo, that was great.

My gosh.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I had no idea she could show deep emotions like this.

I know. She seems fully absorbed in her character too.

Her acting has improved a lot.

She won't be called a bad actor anymore now.

Bad actor? You won't have to worry about that ever again.

- Director, please excuse me. - Okay.

Yoon-seo, are you okay?

Why are you crying?

Yoon-seo, is he still on your mind?

I tried to forget...

I tried so hard to forget about him.

But whenever I think about Mr. Kwon from time to time,

I become unbearably sad.

I thought you were okay now.

How could I be okay? I liked him so much.

But there's nothing I can do.

I must think of my fans

and of everyone who is waiting for my comeback.

And if I keep having a hard time like this,

Mr. Kwon won't like it either.

I'm sorry, Hyeok-jun.

I'll try my best

to get it together.

Don't worry.

Okay. I'm sorry too.

You should get some rest, Yoon-seo.

I wonder if he's doing well.

During Im Yun-hui's first hearing,

Park Su-myeong was pointed out as the real culprit,

and she was released on bail.

After that, her whereabouts remain unknown.

I asked around the neighborhood, but no one saw Im Yun-hui.

I also looked into something else.

There were a total of 11 insurances signed under Kim Yeong-tae's name.

A part of the insurance payouts went to Im Yun-hui.

Out of a total of 4.49 billion won for his death benefit,

2.73 billion was paid to her.

Was that insurance payout...

She withdrew all of it in cash and disappeared.

She disappeared when the insurance payout wasn't even fully paid.

Something seems fishy, right?

First, let's go meet the employee at the insurance company.

When did you first meet Ms. Im Yun-hui?

February 27.

She had to sign some papers regarding the insurance payout,

so we met briefly.

We met at this cafe.

Do you remember anything particular from your conversation?

For instance, did she say where she was going,

or whom she was planning to meet?

No. There was nothing special about our conversation.

But then again,

during our conversation, she kept looking outside.

I wondered what it was and looked outside.

A man was waiting for her?

After our meeting, I saw her getting into his car for sure.

So I just thought he was her friend or something.

This was such a controversial case,

and I was curious what kind of person she was.

But when she came with a man, I thought it was a bit strange.

Who do you think he is?

Do you think she had another lover?

I don't think she has any other family members.

By the way, if Ms. Oh finds out about this,

she'll be so shocked.

Ms. Oh worked really hard on this case.

She went with you to Im Yun-hui's home too.

When you were attacked by Park Su-myeong by a bat,

she was really worried about you.

Ms. Oh, are you okay?

What about you? How's your injury?

Gosh, you're still bleeding.

My goodness.

Let's go now.

What? You'll represent Park Su-myeong at his appeal?

You appointed him as a witness during the trial,

and you're the one who pointed him out as the real culprit.

But what do you mean, there's another culprit?

You want to be Park Su-myeong's attorney? What is this...

I don't know. I'll pretend I didn't hear this, so you can leave.

- No, I'll just leave. - Mr. Yeon.

How could you gamble over something you're not certain of?

Mr. Kwon. Do you know this is a violation of your work ethics?

Anyway, I cannot allow this.

I told you clearly not to do it. That's final.

My goodness.

Goodness. Mr. Kwon is making me so anxious,

and it's practically killing me.

I might die out of anxiety.

What if he really insists on taking Park Su-myeong's case?

I doubt it.

This is so disturbing.

- I'm back. - Hello.

Ms. Dan. How did your trial go?

Yes. Of course.

It seems like Ms. Oh is shooting a drama in front of the court.

I saw a sign that read Love Hurts

on a vehicle near there.

Yes, hello? This is Attorney Dan Mun-hui.

It'll be so fun if we all visit her filming site.

Shall we go?

Hae-yeong, Mr. Yeon has a lot on his mind right now,

and he's quite disturbed.

I don't think he's in the mood to visit a filming site.

That's not appropriate.

Right. I got overexcited.

I was a bit out of line there.

Right. I'm not in a situation to go there right now.

Of course not.

I thought we were going for lunch. Why are we at court?

Why? I'm thinking of having lunch

at the cafeteria that's located inside this court.

The cafeteria at this place is really famous for its food.

What? I've never heard anything like that.

I'm glad you heard it now.

The reason why I won all those numerous trials

is because of the delicious food from the cafeteria here.

I received good energy and became successful.

Mr. Yeon. Did you come here to look at the drama shooting?

Yes...

- No. - Is that a yes or no?

Yes, no. No.

I mean, I didn't actually come to see the filming site.

But since we're here, it's not a bad idea to take a look around.

Don't take it the wrong way.

She used to be our staff, and pretending not to know is rude.

And didn't you two say you missed Ms. Oh last time?

You did, right?

To boost the energy of my employees,

I've decided to sacrifice myself and take a stroll near here.

But where is Ms. Oh?

I'm sorry, but you can't come near.

- Okay. - You might be caught on camera.

The camera? Gosh, I know too.

But we're not just pedestrians passing by.

We are well acquainted with Ms. Oh Yoon-seo.

I see.

Who here living in Korea is not well acquainted

with the famous Ms. Oh Yoon-seo?

We'll begin shooting soon, so we'd appreciate your cooperation.

Let's just go, Mr. Yeon.

- Ms. Yang. - Yes, you can begin shooting.

Do I really have to mention the fact that I am

the CEO of the famous Always Law Firm?

He might not know who I am.

He must be so flustered.

No, I mean--

It's all right, stop mentioning it.

I didn't know, but you are really bad at keeping secrets.

Why don't you just tell him that I was also on national television

for a debate show and also numerous TV programs,

and that I'm a famous attorney while you're at it?

Why don't you just outright tell him

that the law firm Oh Yoon-seo used to work at was our law firm?

Mr. Yeon.

Ms. Oh.

Ms. Oh is running toward me.

She's even calling my name.

Ms. Yang, Ms. Kim.

How did you come here?

I really missed you. It's so nice to see you.

Me too.

What brings you here? Are there only the three of you?

I walk by the court like this from time to time.

I never forget how I first felt when I decided to become

a lawyer that would fight for the weak.

Today seemed like that sort of day.

- Today was that sort of day? - Yes, let's say it was.

Anyway, I'm glad. My shoot has been delayed,

and I have some time. You didn't have lunch yet, right?

Shall we have lunch together?

Why are you all looking at me instead of eating your food?

This feels so cool.

It feels like I'm eating with a celebrity all of a sudden.

I felt the same way when I saw you at the film site earlier.

It made me realize fully that you're an actress.

I can't believe we used to hang out and chat with each other.

Gosh, don't treat me like I'm a different person.

It makes us feel so distant.

Do you even know how much I missed you guys?

Really?

- You missed us? - Yes.

I knew that I would've left a hole in your heart.

But hearing you actually say that is making me blush a little.

- You really haven't changed at all. - No, I haven't.

Is everyone else doing well?

Mr. Choe and Ms. Dan

are busy these days. Perhaps they both started dating someone.

And Mr. Lee is still very sensitive and poetic as always.

Is Mr. Kwon also doing well?

No, not really.

I feel anxious because it feels like he'll get himself in trouble soon.

I think he's going to defend Park Su-myeong.

What? Park Su-myeong?

Mr. Kwon, are you doing well?

I'm texting because I suddenly got reminded of you...

Do you remember me?

Yes, I remember you.

Your mother came to see me.

She asked me to help you.

So I'd appreciate it if you answer

the questions I'm about to ask you.

Okay, I'll answer them.

I heard you stabbed Im Yun-hui's husband just once.

Is that correct?

Yes, I stabbed him once.

He always beat her up.

So I got really angry and stabbed him.

Then Yun-hui told me to run away.

I did what she told me to do and ran away.

But where's my mom?

My mom's suffering.

I need to help her.

I need to help my mom.

I need to make deliveries.

I don't... I don't want my mom to suffer anymore.

I really stabbed him just once. Only once.

I only stabbed him once. Just once.

Mr. Kwon, have you gone mad?

You're actually going to defend Park Su-myeong?

Yes.

Okay, I'll be really generous and try to assume

that there could actually be another culprit.

If that's true, people will criticize you for having made an innocent person guilty.

On the other hand, if Park Su-myeong turns out to be the culprit,

you'll still get criticized

for trying to defend him at this point

when you've already accused him of murder.

They'll question why you're being so wishy-washy about the case.

People will lose

their trust for you as an attorney.

I've already decided to defend him.

I even filed a copy of the POA at the courthouse.

What?

- I'm sorry. - You're sorry?

Why did you do it if you were going to be sorry?

Why would you make such an important decision on your own?

I knew you'd be against it until the end,

so I had no choice.

Do you think of me as a joke because I always compliment you?

- Sir. - "Sir"?

Do you even think of me as your boss?

Mr. Kwon. Listen.

People are going to start badmouthing you from now on.

No one is going to be on your side.

You're the one who made him get sentenced to jail.

And by doing this, you're admitting that you made a mistake.

It's only right that I do that because it was my mistake.

It may be too late,

- but I want to set things straight. - Sure.

You think you're so noble, don't you?

But no one's going to acknowledge your aspiration and goodwill.

You'll just get branded as an attorney

who thinks of trials as a joke.

Like I already told you, that's something I should deal with--

Then what about our firm? What about the people who work here?

Do you not care that our reputation might get ruined because of you?

If you have the least amount

of affection and sense of duty for this law firm,

you can't be doing this to me.

You really can't do this to me.

Hey, I heard you filed a POA for the Park Su-myeong case.

What happened?

- It just happened. - My gosh, seriously.

You'll have to put a lot at risk.

Is that really necessary?

To be honest, I'm scared.

I don't know what the truth is yet.

But my rash decision

could've driven someone to the point of no return.

And the fact that

I could end up leaving a scar on someone that they won't be able to forget

for the rest of their lives...

I'm scared of such a thought.

But if I turn away from this

and lose my chance to set things straight,

I feel like I won't be qualified to be anyone's attorney anymore.

I'll also lose my confidence to defend anyone at all.

SECRETARY KIM HAE-YEONG

Isn't it a nice photo?

You should visit the law firm next time, Yoon-seo.

OKAY

By the way, Mr. Kwon eventually decided

to take the Park Su-myeong case.

Because of that, Mr. Kwon and Mr. Yeon had a huge argument.

Things aren't so pretty at the office right now.

Mr. Kwon will have to do a lot of work by himself

now that he no longer has a secretary to help him out.

What? Kwon Jung-rok will be defending Park Su-myeong?

Yes, that's what I heard.

My gosh.

He's the one who pointed him out as the culprit.

And now, he wishes to defend him?

Is he joking right now?

Hello, sir. I'm Gu Seong-gil from Daehan Daily.

I heard Park Su-myeong and his attorney

are getting ready for an appeal.

Is that true?

I'm not sure.

But even if that happens, I don't think anything will change.

I actually heard some interesting news.

- Mr. Kwon. - He's here.

You're the one who claimed that Park Su-myeong was guilty.

Why are you going back on your word?

That means someone innocent is currently in jail.

Do you feel guilty about that?

Some say you violated the Attorneys' Code of Ethics.

What's your opinion on that?

Is it true that you decided to take the case for money?

A lawyer is now defending the suspect

that confessed to the crime of his former client.

He is claiming the suspect's innocence.

What are your thoughts on this case?

According to the Attorneys' Code of Ethics,

when a conflict of interest arises between two clients,

one must only choose one.

Ethically, it's frowned upon.

It's not commonly practiced in the legal field.

From what I think...

What is he going to do?

I know. He's being heavily criticized.

The Ethics Committee should discuss this matter.

Let's stop watching it since it'll only upset you.

When things were rough for me,

he gave me strength by my side.

Mr. Kwon.

Don't mind what the people say.

I believe that you'll win this case.

SAY A WISH

INFORMATION ON PARK SU-MYEONG

CASE STUDY ON PUNISHMENT RELATED TO OVERLOOKING A MURDER

Mr. Kwon, how have you been?

I finally thought of a wish.

My wish is for you to stay steady as a rock.

Just like you have been so far,

I believe that you'll serve justice.

FROM OH JIN-SIM

I could've ruined someone's life.

I must set it straight.

- It's my letter of resignation. - Do whatever you want!

I don't need someone as irresponsible as you either.

Why are you arguing like a bunch of middle school kids?

Are you heading to work?

I'll come to see you whenever I miss you.

Would you like to have dinner with me?

Why are you doing this?

It's just about saving someone.

Who else? It's Mr. Kwon, the nation's most-hated man.

My wish is for you to stay steady as a rock.

I believe that you'll serve justice.
