Witness.
What's your relationship with the defendant?
He's a friend from a small group formed of students from...
the joint med school and law school student organization...
who were interested in photography.
Did you know about the defendant's relationship...
with the victim?
I had heard...
that the victim liked him as an upperclassman.
How did you learn of that fact?
He showed me a text that she had sent him,
saying she liked him.
It is consistent with...
the content of the text messages submitted as evidence.
On the night of the photography club gathering,
did you see the two of them enter the bed and breakfast...
referred to as "the base camp"?
I did.
Would you please explain what you saw?
I was outside,
and all the windows were open, since it was summer.
Then you should've heard the victim screaming for help...
or pushing him off of her.
I did not.
He's lying!
He's lying!
I screamed as loudly as I could, but no one came!
I said I didn't want to...
You're sure you didn't hear her scream,
or shout "No! Stop!" Correct?
Yes.
You evil monster!
You evil jerks.
- Security. Take her away. - You evil jerks.
Let go!
Ji Yeon!
I'll kill you all!
Let go!
(Honorable Judge)
(Song So Eun)
(Sa Ma Ryong)
(After losing my parents at a very young age,)
(Dear Judge)
(Episode 3)
Okay.
The sentencing hearing...
will begin.
I present the ruling...
by Seoul Central District Court's 40th Independent Division.
Independent case number, 2018...
764. Charge, violation against possession of drugs.
Defendant, Park Hae Na.
Park Hae Na?
The... The girl group...
An idol singer, Park Hae Na.
Yes, I am.
I was such a big fan.
Darn it.
The court will present now.
Darn these Chinese characters.
What is this?
Darn these Chinese characters.
Okay. So... Park Hae Na will...
She will...
for a year... I mean...
(The court sentences Park Hae Na to one year in prison.)
A year...
(Court, Judge Han Soo Ho)
After summing up the events for the past year,
I must consider various problems and interpretations of the law.
Therefore,
I'll postpone the sentence for a week.
Next.
Defendant, Ji Chang Soo.
Okay.
Darn it.
I'll delay the sentence for a week.
- What is he talking about? - What's going on?
What? Why did he postpone the sentencing?
He said it's due to various problems and interpretations of the law.
- What does he mean? - I don't understand.
Park Hae Na and Ji Chang Soo.
Do you know how hard I tried to...
make them into petty criminals?
Go meet Judge Han.
If this is a mere delay or he plans to let them argue their case.
Or see if he wants more.
Do you think he's offended because of Lee Ho Sung?
He had a good meal and drank good liquor.
Why would he be offended?
Go find out now.
The fate of our company depends on this project. Understood?
Gosh, please excuse me. Days were much better with a pager.
I'm a slave to this cell phone.
If you bring up something like that, you sound like an old geezer.
Hey, have you ever seen a pager?
Prosecutor Hong.
The sentencing for Park Hae Na and Ji Chang Soo got postponed.
Darn it. That annoying judge.
Right.
It's postponed for a week.
Everyone, please rise.
(Judge Han Soo Ho)
Everyone, please take your seats.
Everyone, please rise.
Do you remember who I am?
The information officer is preparing for the press conference right now.
We must tell the judge reasons for delaying the sentencing.
Tell the information officer then.
Why aren't you answering your cell phone?
Yes. This is Judge Han Soo Ho's chambers.
Yes.
- What should I do? - I'll relay the message.
That was Lawyer Oh Sang Chul.
He said he couldn't reach you.
He asked if you were available.
Gosh, no, no. I can't be. Hang up right now.
Yes. This is Judge Han Soo Ho's chambers.
Okay. Okay, I understand.
I will tell him right away. Okay.
That was the information officer. He's asking for the sentencing.
And he asked you to answer your phone.
No, no.
Hold on. Hold on a minute. You stay right there.
All right. Let's go over this. Everyone, calm down.
I...
will step out for a moment.
- What about the afternoon hearings? - I will be quick.
What about Lawyer Oh?
He said he must see you.
Your name is?
My name is Song So Eun.
Oh, I see.
You should meet with him in my place.
Me?
Talking to a lawyer is part of the experience.
Good luck.
Judge Han, your robe.
Gosh, this robe. Goodness.
There's a hearing at 2pm.
Gosh, that leech.
Seriously. Why can't I find him?
Let me see.
Where's the back entrance? The back entrance...
He told you to meet with me?
Yes, he did.
Are you really friends with him?
I mean, I am older than him, but we treated each other like friends.
We studied for the bar and graduated from the institute in the same year.
He didn't treat you like an older brother?
He's a bit stiff.
I bet he was annoying.
Well, but he still does his job well.
- Except for one thing. - What is it?
There was this famous incident when we were in the institute.
By nature, law is difficult.
Would it be easy if we took an easier approach?
The aim of the campaign for writing easier sentencing is...
to make them understandable for the general public.
That's why we urge refraining from using Chinese characters.
Since the legal terms are based on Chinese characters,
there'd be room for interpretation if we write them in Korean.
This Chinese term has two meanings. One would be number of days.
Another would be daily installments for loans. There are many meanings.
I believe it's not a sentencing if it causes misunderstandings.
What a show-off.
He'd been ranked first in the whole country his entire life.
- First in the whole country? - Yes.
Have you ever been ranked first in the whole country?
In my class?
No, in the whole country.
My brother got the highest score in the country for every exam.
Does Judge Han have a younger brother?
No, he doesn't.
He said he was the only son. Why do you ask?
Nothing. That can't be it, right?
Anyway, he said that using Chinese characters...
means the pride a judge cannot give up.
He's showing off, you know.
By the way, where did he go?
He stepped out for a moment.
He said he'd be back by the afternoon hearing.
(Mom)
I'm busy. I'm hanging up.
Judge Han, it's me.
What?
I called to ask for your help regarding the case in two days.
(Restricted Caller ID)
Sure, sure. No problem.
As a token of my appreciation, I prepared a big one.
Then I'll see you after the trial in two days.
- Goodbye. - Hey.
Wait, wait. Hold on.
(Restricted Caller ID)
When you said the case in two days...
Don't be coy.
You know well that I'm referring to the case about Lee Ho Sung.
You said it was a big one. I wonder how big it is.
I can't seem to assess the size.
You rarely make jokes like this.
I'll see you afterward.
What was that?
- Hello. - Hello.
Lee Ho Sung. Lee Ho Sung. Day after tomorrow.
Darn it. I need to stay here until the day after tomorrow.
What's going on here? Why are you sitting in my spot?
He's my brother. He's a bit unstable.
- Judge Han. - Judge Han.
- Gosh. - Judge Han.
That will suffice.
The victim...
What's going on here? Why are you sitting in my spot?
Guard!
Get him out of my court!
I'm the judge! I am the judge!
Hey!
Okay. Then...
One big one.
100,000 dollars.
[VIU Ver] SBS E03 Your Honor "Iโm a Judge" -โฅ Ruo Xi โฅ-
(Investigator, Jo Bok Soo)
- Mr. Jo? - Yes?
Get me the file on Lee Ho Sung's case.
Okay.
- This is everything? - It was all over the news,
but it's a simple injury case, so there isn't much.
I'll arrange the afternoon's sentencing hearings' decisions.
Wait!
(Violation of the Act on The Control of Narcotics, Etc.)
(Defendant had been illegally imported philopon with Shaojang.)
Darn it. Chinese characters again.
These are all for this afternoon?
Yes.
Darn it.
(Chinese-Korean Dictionary)
(Chinese-Korean Dictionary)
Darn it.
My gosh.
(Court Office System)
(Seoul Central District Court)
S-H-H-A-N.
Birthday? Birthday.
The judge is here.
You can call him now.
- So Eun! - Yes?
(Defendant had been illegally imported philopon with Shaojang.)
What do you think about that decision?
I didn't see the indictment, but the decision...
I'm not sure, since I'm still learning, but...
I think your interpretation of the law is correct.
The facts of the indictment aside,
what about the decision itself?
Like the context and style.
The context is correct,
and the font looks like the standard font.
The Chinese characters don't bother you?
No. I believe there is no rule that we cannot use Chinese characters.
That may be the rule, but...
who reads that decision?
The parties to the trial.
And the judges too, of course.
Yes. I'm fine, obviously.
But average people can read that?
Most of them can't understand it even if it's in Korean.
Yes, I agree that is possible.
And yet, we include Chinese characters?
They want to make sure no one else understands.
Look at medical records that doctors keep.
You can't tell if they're words or drawings.
Only they can understand what they say.
They're trying to show off.
He said using Chinese characters is like a judge's pride...
that he can't let go of. He's just showing off.
I do not think you're doing it...
to show off or anything.
I'm sure there's another reason...
You're so old-fashioned.
A new judge should be different.
Seriously. If you were to write a decision,
would you do that?
No, sir.
Then write it.
- Pardon? - Take that decision,
and write it so simply, that children could understand it.
Me?
Give it a try.
No, sir. I couldn't dare.
You're a trainee judge, so you're half a judge already.
Okay. Okay. Go, go.
Sit. Sit. Sit down.
Here we go.
Make it understandable to the mass public.
Do I just have to change the Chinese characters?
No, no. Make it look good,
and very easy to read.
Okay.
(Defendant)
(Sentenced)
Doesn't our judge seem kind of weird?
He hasn't slept in days.
He's confused.
That's not what I mean.
He seems really inferior, but very superior at the same time.
Scram.
Don't confuse me even more. Scram.
(Mother)
(Mother)
The person you have reached is not available. Please...
(Defendant had been illegally imported philopon with Shaojang.)
- High five. - Okay.
Okay. Let's begin!
Who are you?
You need to figure that out.
Who are we, that we're going to kill you?
I'm a judge!
I know.
Your name, face, phone number, address.
What snacks you eat in your chamber,
how you take your coffee, everything.
- How... - It's proof that you're so bad,
that even people in the court turned their backs on you.
I'll give you as much money as I can, if you want.
I don't need money.
I'll kill you.
What is it about...
You need to figure that out.
You can't have a drop of water until you figure it out,
and will die a slow, painful death.
The punishment lasts long, and death is far away.
Isn't that the strict punishment that you talked about?
- Did you get him? - He's on his knees.
Don't kill him.
Let me kill him myself.
Lucky you.
You may die sooner than I thought.
If you have a complaint...
If this is about one of my decisions, apply for a retrial.
I'll help you with whatever you want and solve your problems!
Your death will solve it all.
If the press finds this out, you'll suicide anyway.
It'd be easier on you if you think we're helping you with that.
(Assault)
(There is no sentencing in process.)
Darn it.
- Mr. Jo. - Yes, sir?
Is there a sentencing for Lee Ho Sung?
You didn't give it to me. Did you write it up?
It's been hectic lately.
I see. You're always busy.
Take care of your health.
There is sentencing hearing tomorrow, right?
Yes?
Postpone all of them for a week.
All... All of them?
Why? Isn't that my call?
Yes, it is, but we have to adjust the schedule with the management.
And there must be family members coming from rural areas.
I'll postpone them for a week.
And postpone all the sentencing hearings...
that are in two days for another week.
Except for Lee Ho Sung's case.
Yes... Yes, sir.
- You can do it, Mr. Jo! - I can do it.
(Lawyer Oh Sang Chul)
Is Judge Han in the office?
He's not answering.
(Judge Han Soo Ho)
He must be busy. He looks very serious now.
(Lee Ho Sung)
("Lee Ho Sung's Abuse of Power Causes a Stir")
What a scumbag. I can't believe this guy.
("Lee Ho Sung Assaults an Employee from the Partner Company")
He's filthy rich.
What does he want?
(Lawyer Oh Sang Chul)
Let's talk for a moment. Not as officers of the law, but as friends.
Gosh.
Is it because of Lee Ho Sung's case?
(It has been unlocked.)
(Lawyer Oh Sang Chul)
(Korean Court of Justice)
(Korean Court of Justice)
Oh Sang Chul.
Oh Sang Chul.
49th class.
Han Soo Ho.
(Han Soo Ho, 49th class)
(Lawyer Oh Sang Chul)
Okay.
They took the bar and graduated from the institute in the same year.
Yes, Judge Han.
Come on, we're friends. Drop the title.
Where are you?
Why is it so hard to see you these days?
Even if you're busy, try to answer my calls.
Buddy!
Gosh.
Hey, take a seat. Come on, let's sit.
You look dashing. It's been a while.
We met two days ago.
How did you get some handsome just in two days?
What's going on? This isn't like you.
I decided to change. I was pretty annoying.
Let's cut to the chase. What about Lee Ho Sung's case?
I thought that might be the cause...
of delaying Park Hae Na and Ji Chang Soo's sentencing.
- What about that? - Is there a reason for the delay?
I must tell my clients about the cause.
- I'm rewriting the sentencing. - Why?
- Am I not allowed to? - No.
I felt bad about what I said about Lee Ho Sung's case.
I just wanted you to get the full picture from the other party.
Who is this other party you're speaking of?
The legal team from Osung Group.
What does exactly Osung Group want?
As you know,
it's bene a big scandal, but the charge is petty.
If he has to serve time in prison, that will ruin their reputation...
regarding their bidding to buy the lot owned by the government.
You want me to acquit him? I'll do it if that's what you want.
- Is that what you need? - Don't be upset.
No, I'm not upset.
Hey, that would be good news for everyone involved.
Being innocent is great.
Actually, we're not that close,
- I'll speak my mind. - Sure, sure.
You must know why my dad assigned me this case.
Go on.
He gave me this case only based on one reason.
Because you and I are friends from the bar exam and institute.
That's why I passed along the message from Osung Group.
If you don't plan on going to the Supreme Court,
you have to start preparing to be an attorney.
With your resume, your annual salary will easily be one million dollars.
This is why everyone is trying to become a judge.
Working for 10 years with 1-million salary?
That's 10 million dollars.
If you comply with their request at times like this,
don't you think the legal team will appreciate?
Be honest. This is a good opportunity for you too.
As a token of my appreciation, I prepared a big one.
Then I'll see you after the trial in two days.
Okay. What is it that you want?
This isn't my opinion. I'm just a messenger for them.
Given the nature of the charge,
the sentence they want wouldn't be a problem.
I'm writing the sentence tomorrow. Be straight with me.
What is the sentence you want?
We don't want you to sentence.
A deferred sentence.
When are you graduating from the institute?
I have about two months left.
After my time as trainee judge, I'll graduate soon.
You worked as trainee judge, what about trainee lawyer?
- Yes. - Which one was most fun?
Since I'm just a trainee officer, I don't get to do a lot.
All I can do is watch and learn, so I'm not sure.
But so far, I like working as a trainee judge.
That's right. Judges are the kings in this circle.
Right.
I bet people ask about the cut a lot, right?
Pardon?
Yes.
People can get very curious.
They don't know the pain that comes with the wound.
You might not want to talk about it.
That's why I won't ask.
It's just a scar.
It has to heal for it to be a scar.
No such scars can heal.
It hurts whenever you see it.
Let me make a call.
Okay.
(Episode 4 will air shortly.)
All of you...
(Episode 4)
At least you guys studied day and night.
You passed the bar exam and are barely getting by with that job.
Yes, sir. We're always grateful.
To whom do you owe your gratitude?
Hey, how much did you get paid for taking on my case?
It's five million dollars and bonuses, Executive Director Lee.
Come here.
I'm the president of executive director.
Address me with the proper title.
You rude runt. What was that?
Yes, President Lee.
Darn it.
If I paid you five million dollars,
you people should tell me, "This is what we'll do."
Must I beg you, "Please do this for me"?
Even the prosecutor got involved and took care of it.
You can't handle one little judge?
It's not like I don't know Judge Han Soo Ho.
I met with him today.
You're so good at your job.
You finally met with him two days before the trial?
I had been meeting with him, things have been progressing well,
- and I got confirmation today. - Confirmation about what?
He says he understands the opinion I relayed.
Why you...
You rude new lawyer.
Hey. Sit up straight!
I'm sorry, sir.
That's a clear answer?
If I get a record for assault,
the political world will criticize me.
The media will eat that right up,
and the disgusting citizens...
will submit complaints on the Blue House website...
What a great image.
You'll get a favorable decision. Please do not worry.
You can just bow your head a little,
in the interest of protecting the judge's image.
Of all the... Hey, you.
What does your dad do?
- He's a professor. - Goodness.
What a tough life.
Bow your head, you punk.
Be humble.
My dearest sir.
You're being too mean toward the new lawyers.
They work for you.
You should use carrots, not whips.
Oh, no. You're going to tattle to my dad, aren't you?
Hey.
Okay. Our Odaeyang Law Firm's top ace,
Lawyer Oh Sang Chul and his team.
Let me give you some money for you guys to grab dinner.
Please, do a good job for me.
Probation?
Was it a crime to hit someone who wouldn't listen?
A fine?
I hate giving you people money too,
but I can't stand giving money to this country. Understand?
Not guilty.
Or a deferred sentence.
One or the other.
Let me pour you a drink.
Do your jobs, will you?
Do you know about the Lee Ho Sung case?
At first, it was serious bodily harm,
then a violation of the Act on the Punishment of Violent Acts, Etc.
Finally, minor injury.
The indictment was changed twice.
Yes. I saw the news about them obviously...
going easy on him.
I think that's the problem.
- I agree. - I knew it.
To be honest, what did conglomerates do wrong?
They make us cars, cell phones, give us Internet access,
build us supermarkets, let us fly on airplanes...
We should be grateful.
But anytime one of them is involved in a matter,
everyone curses them out.
That's all from jealousy.
They hate them because they're so well-off.
Gosh. If you asked those people if they want to be a conglomerate,
do you think any of them would refuse?
Gosh.
I meant...
the problem is with the indictment being changed.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
They realized while investigating, that he's innocent.
They thought he was a jerk, but he isn't.
That's why the indictment was changed.
So why is that "going easy" on the wealthy?
That's discrimination against the rich.
Yes.
The trial is in two days,
so write a decision based on our discussion.
Me?
Haven't you written one before?
I did once in class, but...
This is a corporate heir's case. Is that okay?
It may have been all over the news,
but it's just a simple personal injury case.
Still, for a trainee to do, the party is so...
All are equal before the law.
Are you discriminating against conglomerate families?
No, sir. That's not it.
Then write it.
Include the attenuation factors,
the extenuating circumstances, and make it a deferred sentence.
A deferred sentence?
Isn't that like unofficially finding him not-guilty?
Still, it isn't a not-guilty verdict.
Write it well, okay?
I may not be a judge,
but as a trainee judge,
I should write a decision that does not contradict the law and justice.
That's right.
According to the law and your conscience, a deferred sentence.
I'll keep that in mind and write it.
Good luck!
Okay.
(Prosecutor Hong Jung Soo seek to prosecute as follows)
(Defendant: Lee Ho Sung)
Gosh.
Why is it so heavy?
She's so devoted.
Why did she bother having me after Soo Ho?
How beautiful. It really is.
Gosh.
I apologize for causing a disturbance.
(Osung Group's Lee Ho Sung Reports to Questioning)
What do you think the controversy on the conglomerates being bossy?
- How will you compensate? - Tell us what happened.
- Please give us a word. - Are you agreeing to the fact?
- Please give us a word. - Are you agreeing to the fact?
- Please give us a word. - Please back away.
- Please give us a word. - Are you agreeing to the fact?
Let's go. I'm scared.
I...
saw.
I saw him...
smiling.
He smiled.
He was being punished,
but he was smiling.
Ji Yeon.
You live...
a good life, So Eun.
I knew you were home.
I knew that you wouldn't let me in.
I...
Breaking up in this childish manner...
No.
Acting immature when we're breaking up...
I can't stand it.
I...
Hey, look. Mr. Judge.
We won't ever cross paths again.
But I wanted to hear your answer.
Oh, my goodness.
Why did you pretend to be a nice guy?
Or did you want to become a nice guy?
I'm asking you as one last time.
I have nothing to say to you.
You are a jerk.
Han Soo Ho.
Didn't you know he was a jerk?
He lives a conceited life.
He looks down and loathes the people who are beneath him.
Did you not know?
That he was such a jerk?
You know how to repent now.
That's not like you though.
If we kill him here now, it'd be too easy.
Move away!
Wait. Hold on.
Hey!
You're all right. Let's go to the hospital.
Catch him.
Quickly!
[VIU Ver] SBS E04 Your Honor "Write It" -โฅ Ruo Xi โฅ-
Han Soo Ho!
I'm going to come find you again!
You keep living a brazen life of yours!
I'll follow you to the end and kill you!
Make sure you stay alive.
I'll come back tomorrow. Okay?
We'll get it notarized and put it up as a collateral in the morning.
I'm pretty sure a mother of a judge must have at least 100,000 dollars.
Don't get Soo Ho involved in this.
Why would I bring someone else into our business? Gosh.
I signed the papers as you wanted. You sued Kang Ho.
Withdraw your application.
I should. After I get this notarized.
You said you'd withdraw it when I signed the papers.
If you don't bring the petition to lift the punishment,
I won't let you get them notarized.
You are indeed the mother of a judge. You know the law.
Don't you ever...
think about bullying my sons,
Soo Ho and Kang Ho.
Leave.
I wonder if your sons are aware of this.
Your unyielding love for them.
Are you sure you don't want to adopt me?
You'll be safe with three sons.
Leave now.
Before I rip those documents.
You are indeed a mother of a criminal.
You know how to threaten someone.
See you tomorrow.
Hello.
Did you ask to see me?
Yes.
Why does someone from the court want to see me?
I was going through the documents for the trial.
There were a few things I wanted to check.
You wrote up a petition for Director Lee Ho Sung.
Yes, I did.
Did someone ask you to write it?
No.
Then did you voluntarily write the petition?
Is that important?
Yes.
I voluntarily wrote it.
Why?
What is it that you want to know?
I mean...
You petitioned to lift punishment of a man who assaulted your dad.
I was wondering what made you file such a petition.
What happened?
Director Lee Ho Sung...
came to inspect the factory where my father was working at.
But my dad accidentally opened up the pipe.
The steams got leaked which could have injured a lot of people.
It was definitely a mistake on his part.
But he didn't admit it and kept giving him excuses.
- You almost blew up the factory. - I'm sorry.
Stop with your excuses.
I do understand why Director Lee would be furious.
He just lightly pushed my dad's shoulder.
My dad fell because of the wet floor.
But the floor got wet from the steam.
But there happen to be a protruding object.
That's why my dad ended up losing his eyesight.
At first,
I also thought that he went blind because he beat my dad up.
After learning all the facts,
it happened because of my dad's mistake.
That's why I wrote it.
What you said exactly...
matches with the copy of the indictment at the prosecution.
I don't know anything about that document.
The witness' statement is different.
Did you know that?
There's no need to know.
Director Lee went to inspect the factory your father was working at.
It was just a water bottle.
He found fault with the condition of the factory with that.
He lashed out on your father who was the leader of the section.
I'm sorry, sir.
Lee Ho Sung is known to be inadequate to control his anger.
Who is it? Come here.
There were reports that he assaulted the employees previously.
Who is it? Who?
Assaulting him wasn't enough.
He even threw the camera at your father's face.
That became the direct cause of rupturing his eye.
But when time passed,
the witnesses started to change their statements.
Even your father, who said he got hit,
admitted it was his mistake.
I need to go.
You're his son.
Because your father said he was at fault,
Lee Ho Sung's sentence will be even lighter.
The law will be the judge.
The week after you submitted the letter to the court,
this factory was selected to be Osung Group's vendor, correct?
And you were promoted to supervisor.
Were you grateful for the gifts from Osung Group?
The living must go on living.
After what he did to your father,
it'll be over with a small portion of his salary.
At this rate, Lee Ho Sung will get off pretty much as innocent.
Do that, please. That's what my father wants.
What about you?
Is that what you want as well?
Do you want to accept...
those cheap benefits in exchange for justice for your father?
Yes.
I need to survive somehow.
When he went in for questioning,
he was smiling. Did you see that?
So what?
You can't punish him so severely at court...
that will make him cry!
Why must I fight a losing battle?
Why should I?
(Decision of the Court)
Defendant, Choi Min Gook, is fined 1,500 dollars.
If the defendant fails to submit the fine,
he shall be sent to a labor camp,
calculated at 50 dollars a day.
Whereas the victim...
was not incapacitated at the time of the incident,
there was no physical proof of resistance.
Thus, we cannot admit that the sexual act was forced.
Defendant is a model citizen without any prior convictions.
He repented sincerely and deposited funds for settlement.
His future as a medical student,
and other factors were considered in making this decision.
Thus, as per the indictment submitted by prosecutor...
(Decision of the Court)
(Court)
(Decision of the Court)
I'm sure I said to write a decision for a deferred sentence.
I am a trainee judge, not a judge.
It's not like my decision carries any legal weight.
I wrote this with my personal standards of how I'd decide...
if I were a judge.
The prosecutor demanded six months in prison,
but you issue him not probation or a fine, but seven years in prison?
It's the maximum sentence within the limits of...
the facts included in the indictment.
You'll send a conglomerate heir...
to prison? For a simple personal injury?
You said so yourself, that all are equal before the law.
If you read through the decision, you'll see it's appropriate...
How is this appropriate?
Every case follows a sentencing guideline.
Extenuating circumstances must be considered,
and attenuation must be made when applicable.
That's how you interpret the law!
But this completely digressed from that standard!
There is only one rule...
to deciding a case.
The pain caused by the punishment...
must be greater than the benefit gained through the crime.
If the criminal leaves the courtroom smiling...
after being sentenced,
that is not a proper punishment for the crime.
Sure, sure.
Thank you for those words of wisdom.
Write another version for a deferred sentence.
I cannot.
I'm not telling you change this.
I'm telling you to write another version as practice.
Even as practice,
I cannot abandon the law and my conscience.
You're just a trainee.
I don't like your attitude.
And you're a judge.
I question your attitude for teaching me.
So Eun. Do you have that, by chance?
What do you mean?
You know. That. The thing a lot of people had long time ago,
but because it's cumbersome,
uncomfortable, and not with the trend, everyone threw it away.
What's it called?
Yes. That.
Sense of justice.
Was that something that follows trends?
Perhaps you do not know about the trends.
You're just jealous of rich people.
Rewrite it.
I will not.
