Honorable Judge,

I'm Hwang Tae Yong. I work at the Emergency Call Center.

Lee Soon Chul...

is a newcomer who just started his career.

He is overwhelmed with guilt for not saving a life at the scene...

and has been getting treatment for depression.

He fell victim to the false report...

of a drunk man.

He claims...

Lee Soon Chul hit him while transporting him,

but we know it was the necessary measure...

in calming him down...

from countless experiences.

I'd like to say one thing for him in court.

Please call me as a witness at the trial.

I beseech you, Your Honor. Hwang Tae Yong.

(Dear Judge)

(Disciplinary Hearing)

Speak well. I'll wait here.

We don't know when it'll end.

Go back.

No. You stood for hours at the hospital,

watching over me.

Once this is over, let's get pork belly and soju,

and go singing afterward.

- Just the two of us? - No.

Everyone in the chamber. A team dinner.

I thought you wanted to go alone.

Should we?

That would be nice,

but everyone's worried, so let's go together.

Hello, Your Honor.

Hi.

You've gotten prettier.

What are you doing here?

I was selected to sit on the disciplinary committee.

I kept refusing,

but the Supreme Court Justice overseeing it is an alum,

so I couldn't refuse.

Can a prosecutor participate in a judge's disciplinary hearing?

They're allowed to appoint someone...

who has ample education and experience.

Everyone on the committee is a good person,

so you need not worry.

You've gained weight.

You look good.

I don't like girls who are too skinny.

Please do not talk about my appearance, sir.

You get so worked up anytime I compliment you.

I'm saying you're sexy.

- Sir. Saying things like that... - It's a compliment.

A compliment.

That piece of...

I'm sorry.

That piece of trash. Has he lost his mind?

He looks like a serial killer. How dare he talk about appearances?

He ought to wash his face more often.

You knew him from your training at the prosecution, right?

- Yes. - He does that often, doesn't he?

I'm not sure.

What do you mean? He looks like a repeat offender.

That face of his...

comes up all the time on the list for sketches of wanted criminals.

- I do think so. - Remember?

My class on becoming a killer.

- Yes. - If he does that again,

strike him. That's faster than taking legal measures.

- It feels much better too. - Okay. I'll do that.

I'll go inside and get revenge on him.

Okay.

- You may sit down. - Okay.

(Disciplinary Committee)

Are you Judge Han Soo Ho from Individual Criminal Department 40...

at Seoul Central District Court?

Yes, I am.

As we all know each other, that will suffice to identify the individual.

We'll begin the chief questioning now.

You read the documents, correct?

I did.

Should we go over the case regarding negligence of your duty?

- Let's check the grounds for it. - Yes, sir.

Starting on the sixth of last month, Judge Han Soo Ho...

postponed the trials and sentence hearing...

without any proper reasons or prior notices.

After that, he postponed trials on the 11th, 19th, and 20th...

and a total of 36 trials.

He neglected his duty as a judge, and the court received numerous...

complaints that the long trials brought suffering.

This is all.

- Explain yourself. - Yes, sir.

I did postpone the trials often.

Is that wrong?

Do you not agree that you were negligent of your duty?

Let me say one thing to my dear judges.

Sit down, and proceed.

Yes, sir.

A long time ago,

I thought trials were done very slowly.

But after becoming a judge,

there's too much work.

I don't understand why you give only cases...

to decide on without any time to think.

Don't you think this is wrong?

The total number of judges in Korea is only 3,000.

Deciding on 2 or 3 cases a day is not possible.

Let me politely ask you a question.

Does the judicial branch have any plans to hire more judges?

You must answer the question accordingly.

What do you mean? This has everything to do with my answer.

You're not hiring more judges because if there's more,

the job wouldn't be as prestigious, right?

Judge Han!

Watch your language.

My apologies.

I really needed time to think in order to make my decision fair.

Someone's life depends on my decision.

Even If I postponed the trial for a few days,

I wanted to make good decisions.

Does that mean...

other judges who decide on cases without postponing their trials...

aren't thinking about the trials?

Is that it?

Don't twist my words.

That will do. We listened to your argument enough.

- Next. - Here's the next point at issue.

Judge Han Soo Ho was interviewed...

on a TV program on the 17th.

The interview didn't pass through the administration office first.

And there was no follow-up report after the interview.

It's been evaluated that...

his viewpoints shared on TV have marred judges' respectability.

Explain yourself.

The TV interview...

I'll be honest.

I was sleeping.

Someone from the TV station came to my house.

- And then... - I need you...

to be a judge today.

I was dragged out.

It was beyond my control.

It was the same as being kidnapped.

Do you think this hearing is a joke?

Do you think it's a place where you fool around?

It's the truth. I have a witness.

That's enough.

You may leave if you don't have anything else to share.

Is it over?

We heard enough of your explanations.

What is it? Do you need to explain yourself more?

How should I put it?

It feels like the outcome is already determined.

I feel like you're only having this hearing for the sake of formality.

How dare you talk such nonsense?

The hearing was over too quickly.

Judge Han. Go outside.

Actually,

I exchanged my decision for money.

- Hey! - What? Am I the only one?

The head of the fish rots first.

I'm a lowly tail of that fish. I have nothing to lose.

This office is also considered a courthouse. Maintain your dignity.

Sure. I'll say it with dignity that I accepted some bribes.

Everyone was just dying to give me money.

Yesterday, the son of Osung Group's CEO...

gave me a blank oath.

What you just stated...

is a violation of the existing law.

You sexually harass women every time you open that mouth.

You should keep your mouth shut.

What nonsense are you accusing me of?

You look like the most wanted criminal on the list.

You tell women to their faces that they're sexy and attractive.

Is that what you really want to do?

I'm sitting down here as a member of the disciplinary committee.

Show me your respect.

I don't want to get disciplined by someone like you.

Stop it, and leave!

You opened this hearing with some ridiculous grounds...

for negligence of duty and failure to maintain respectability.

Let's be honest.

You're doing this because I held Lee Ho Sung under court custody.

Right? Are you that scared of the rich?

How much did they pay you...

to have you walk on eggshells around them?

That's enough. Get out!

I'll accept any disciplinary action you give me.

I don't care if you take away my salary for a year.

However, if you suspend me...

and stop me from ruling over my last trial,

you'll have a lunatic judge on your hands.

I'll become the biggest humiliation of the judiciary branch...

and reveal everything I know!

We'll continue after 30 minutes.

Please, I'm begging you.

Please keep this judiciary branch's last ounce of pride.

Good job.

You crazy jerk.

(Disciplinary Committee)

Your Honor, did it go well?

Cheer up. You didn't do anything wrong.

Why do you think that I did nothing wrong?

Well, I don't think you'd do something wrong.

Let's go. Gosh, I wanted to gather smart people...

and build a time machine.

Why? Did you say something wrong?

Goodness. I should've made bigger threats.

- "Threats"? - That's my area of expertise.

You're right. Someone once told me that...

making threats is more effective in this world than asking for favors.

Let's go have our gathering.

How was the interrogation at the prosecution?

I'm sure you know too.

Someone got a hold of an insider and is trying to strangle me.

It's hard for the prosecutor general and Prosecutor Hong...

to treat me however they want.

You gave them water and raised them.

Try watering the garden all you can.

You think the flowers will remember the hands that watered them?

Don't you think this case will go away...

after a few days?

Sang Chul.

You should find out who is trying to...

strangle me.

Me?

I must know who my opponent is to come up with a plan.

If that person has enough power, then I'll gladly give him my head.

Don't say such a thing.

Our law firm is the biggest in Korea.

You go to the courthouse often, right?

When you climb the hill and get to the dead end,

the courthouse is to the east and the Prosecutors' Office to the west.

They call themselves East and West.

Do you know what that means?

They mean, they are the core of this nation.

The East and West have been ruling this nation...

ever since the Joseon era.

If you underestimate their power, you'll die,

regardless of who you are.

Even if you are the President of the country.

That's...

the power of the judges and prosecutors.

(Disciplinary Committee Chair)

Please give your opinions.

We're investigating Oh Dae Yang right now,

and Judge Han Soo Ho's bribery accusation was proven true.

It'll make the news soon.

As a preventative measure,

we should punish him more severely than a mere suspension.

I agree with him.

Thank you for not quitting...

and coming back.

I'll do my best as well.

[VIU Ver] SBS E21 Dear Judge "The Disciplinary Committee" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

How did it go?

It'll work out somehow.

Let's go eat.

You have a trial.

(Ambulance)

Gauze.

Are you okay?

- How many more minutes? - 10 minutes.

More gauze.

You are a paramedic...

for the Emergency Center in Samseong-dong,

and on June 13 at 11pm, you were dispatched...

to Seolleung Station, correct?

Yes.

How was the victim Cho Jung Man's condition when you arrived?

He was intoxicated...

and requested to be taken to the hospital.

When he refused to have his blood pressure checked...

in the ambulance,

did you try to strap him into the stretcher?

Yes.

When he continued to refuse, did you use violence?

- Yes. - Did you give him...

lacerations to his face,

broken ribs, as well as bruises all over his arms and legs?

- Yes. - It's also true...

that you broke the victim's 5,000 dollar watch, correct?

- Yes. - Did you settle with the victim?

I could not.

No more questions.

- Question your witness. - Yes, Your Honor.

When you arrived, Cho Jung Man complained of severer pain, correct?

- Yes. - If the patient...

refuses to have his blood pressure taken, can't you skip it?

(Witness Stand)

It is our duty to do our best.

You weren't being violent, you were trying to calm the patient,

and this was an unexpected accident...

as you tried to restrain him into the stretcher, correct?

I won't do it, you jerk.

You jerk.

- I need to check your vitals. - Hey. Are you a doctor?

Are you a nurse? You jerk.

I'll have to strap you in for your safety.

Safety?

Who are you to...

Darn it.

- Let go. - Please, stop.

Let go.

Hey.

Why you...

Please stay still!

Let go, you jerk!

I...

used force to restrain him.

I was told that was assault.

Why were you unable to settle with him?

He will not take my calls.

The victim said,

"You're a rude jerk and deserve to be fired."

"I won't settle, you jerk."

That was his final text message,

and he will not answer any calls or texts.

Did you receive this text?

- Yes. - No more questions.

(Defendant)

We'll hear from another witness.

Is Hwang Tae Yong here?

He is not present.

This is good.

- Your change. - That's fine.

(Seoul Central District Court)

Sorry.

What is your recommended sentence?

Please sentence him to one year in prison.

(Defendant)

Give your closing argument.

The defendant did his very best and caused injuries...

unintentionally, and he is...

repenting deeply.

Please also consider all the volunteer work he has done.

We ask for a favorable judgment.

- That's all? - Yes.

Why is it so simple?

You should do your best to defend him. You're his lawyer.

I'm...

Defendant...

has admitted his guilt,

and is repenting.

Please provide a favorable judgment.

Was that watch really worth 5,000 dollars?

Does he have a receipt?

I receipt a certificate of authenticity.

I personally know someone...

who forces hundreds of certificates of authenticity a year.

Bring in a purchase receipt.

Yes, Your Honor.

And please, this is my request.

Defend your client.

He repents, so you want a favorable judgment?

That can't be everything.

Yes, Your Honor.

Darn it.

Give your final statement.

I'm sorry.

I have nothing else to say.

This happened a lot, hasn't it?

You said it's the duty of paramedics to do your best, right?

- Yes. - Same here.

I have a duty to do my best on this bench.

I don't care what it is.

Say anything you want to say.

I...

hate this country.

The people of our country...

scare me.

That's why...

I have no right to work...

for the Emergency Center.

The witness has just arrived.

All rise.

(Witness Stand)

Okay. Sit down.

Please be seated.

- The witness will testify. - Go ahead.

I came here today...

because there was something I must share with the Honorable Judge.

No, I'm not honorable.

Please go on.

I'm deeply indebted to Lee Soon Chul.

Last April,

I was dispatched to a scene after getting a call,

but the caller wasn't a patient who needed emergency assistance.

When I arrived,

a drunk man had called because he couldn't find his way home.

At that time, we received a call for a real emergency situation.

Since I was already dispatched,

Mr. Lee Soon Chul who was nearby went to the scene.

When the ambulance was playing taxi for a drunk man,

someone who was in dire need of our help...

passed away.

He could have lived if the ambulance arrived 10 minutes earlier.

It took a while since he was coming from another district.

Mr. Lee Soon Chul thought...

that it was his fault.

He suffered from severe depression,

but he couldn't get treated as he didn't have the time.

We have to take the beating when someone hits us.

Because he's drunk.

Because he's a patient...

in serious pain.

Because he's a family member of the patient.

We took their physical violence as if it's part of our duty.

For safety reasons,

we decide to secure the patient to the bed.

While doing so, anyone can make a mistake.

Because of that mistake,

if he ends up getting a small fine even,

we will be...

called by the disciplinary committee...

according to the Fire Officers Act.

The degree of...

Mr. Lee Soon Chul's disciplinary action...

will depend on the result of this trial.

Seeing my colleague...

being punished by other colleagues...

gives me unbearable agony.

I heard from others that...

Mr. Lee Soon Chul predicted the looming agony...

and had given up everything already.

Your Honor.

Please help that outstanding paramedic...

avoid standing before the disciplinary committee...

and leaving us.

I would like to ask for your help with all my heart.

I would like to say one thing.

Prosecutors who have experienced countless trials...

all agreed that Judge Han is incompetent as a judge.

We don't need to bring in evaluations from outside,

but we did hear such evaluations.

All right. Everyone will submit their own opinions,

- and we'll wrap up here. - Before we wrap up,

I'd like to ask everyone in this room a question.

Are we righteous enough to have the right...

to punish a fellow judge?

I don't have anything to repent on.

I believe that everyone at this panel...

agrees with me.

Jung Soo.

You've become quite daring.

Gosh, what are you talking to me in such manner?

This is a formal meeting.

Stop it.

Before you go, visit the administration office.

Sign the form for your attendance regarding this hearing.

The employees in the office are busy.

Don't make them ask you to come in again.

(Episode 22 will air shortly.)

- Cheers. - Cheers. Here, here.

(Episode 22)

- Here you go. - No, no. Let me.

It's all right. Let me take care of this.

- No, no. - Hey.

- Hey, hey. - So Eun...

Rock-paper-scissors. Let's leave our lives up to fate.

The loser will grill the meat.

Come on. Even so.

How could we play rock-paper-scissors with you?

Here we go. Ready or not, the loser grills the meat. Rock-paper-scissors

- Rock-paper-scissors - Rock-paper-scissors

Men ought to play rock.

I'd like to file for an appeal. Let's play again.

- It's denied. - Why?

Don't decisions have the right to be reviewed up to three times?

I deny the appeal without any reasons.

The judge has all the power.

All right. Tell me how you like your meat.

- Eun Jung, you're up first. - Gosh, how could I possibly...

Make mine really crispy.

Okay. What about you, Dong Shik?

I like my meat slightly cooked.

Come on, I know that it was a game.

How could you boss him around? You're too rude.

Don't you know this dinner is an extension of work?

Mr. Jo. Come on. Tell me how you like yours.

I'll eat it however you grill the meat.

How can I do that?

I just want the outside to be slightly burnt,

but it can't be hard.

I want the inside to be moist, so it seals all the juices.

It must be juicy and not greasy.

And you must cut the big bones out, but not the small ones.

When you grill kimchi, if the sauce gets on the meat,

the meat gets burnt before they get cooked.

Please make sure that the sauce and the meat get mixed up.

How do you want yours?

- Just about anything works. - That sounds good.

- What about you, So Eun? - I...

want mine pretty.

I'll make the meat look pretty for everyone.

- Pretty meat for everyone. - Pretty meat for everyone.

- Hey, try some. - Thank you.

- Why don't you open it? - Let me have it.

- Here you go. - Hey, give me that.

So Eun, this is good.

Sir, I learned this on TV. Take a look.

1, 2, 3.

Isn't this fun? Isn't it?

You're so cool.

Isn't this cool?

Yes?

My judge isn't...

going on summer vacation.

It's driving me crazy too, Mother.

I'll take you to France during the Christmas holidays.

- This sad time - I said, France!

- Only after when it was gone - I love you too, Mother.

I can hear it

Close your eyes, and feel it

So Eun, you don't know how to have fun.

- No. - Come on out. Come out.

The rough path before our eyes

Okay. Smile, everyone.

Keep singing.

With just this feeling

Sing it.

I take a nap in the flowers

I take a nap in the flowers

- What are you doing tomorrow? - Well...

I'm writing decisions for a few cases and organizing the key points.

That's the problem.

Anyone who thinks about their work while having fun...

is the enemy of the mankind.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

I... I'm going to live only for today.

Let's go for a third round.

A long time ago, my sister said to me...

that I must know how to have fun to make my life awesome.

I should've had an older sister like yours.

But to me, having fun sounded scary.

People having fun, women having fun, and students having fun.

It has a bad connotation.

Someone came up with that, so we don't have fun.

You know? "You all should just work."

"Having fun is a bad thing." Just like this, you know.

But I still feel anxious when I'm having fun.

It's because you haven't had enough fun.

Once you get used to hanging out, you'll like it the most.

That's not it.

I wondered why I was nervous.

And why is that?

Let me see the picture.

- What picture? - From the karaoke earlier.

I knew it. I look terrible.

Delete it.

- Don't delete it. - My eyes are closed.

- You look cute. - No.

This one is okay.

I look insane. Look at me dancing.

Don't delete it!

Delete. No.

- Delete. - Don't delete it.

You look good, but I look funny.

Delete. This is insane.

Delete.

This one is perfect.

I don't know how I went to find my sister...

or what happened inside. I can't remember anything.

I was so nervous,

that my body, brain, everything, was frozen.

I lied down to sleep that night,

and all I could remember was...

that I couldn't breathe, and I thought I'd die.

When someone grabbed my hand,

I was finally able to breathe again.

Those two things.

I erased all my ugly pictures.

Send me the rest.

Why don't you have my father's news break tomorrow?

We can pressure disciplining Judge Han, too.

There are too many in our office that will be implicated.

It's tough.

Disclosing information about suspected crimes is nothing new.

Let the news get out, and once Judge Han is disciplined,

his term won't be renewed,

and my father can naturally retire,

then we block the news.

- That will look good. - Hey, Sang Chul.

I can't tell anymore...

whether I'm doing your work or you're doing mine.

It's all for you.

You were able to finally get the disciplinary hearing.

I forgot about that.

You know Song So Eun.

- She's an odd one. - Song So Eun?

She worked for me during her training,

and she wrote a petition for Soo Ho.

"Our judge isn't like that."

I think...

they slept together.

So Eun is my college friend.

She wouldn't do that.

Hey. No one knows when it comes to a man and woman.

To be blunt, if they didn't sleep together,

where would a mere trainee get the nerve...

to submit a petition to a disciplinary committee?

That would ruin her career.

Jung Soo.

May I see that petition?

(Scandal regarding law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball bribe)

(Scandal regarding law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball bribe)

Hey.

Why are we covering this? Wasn't that story banned?

They lifted the ban.

It was the main story,

but the station manager is beating them to the punch.

He's so conniving.

Everyone else's name is in initials,

so why is Judge Han Soo Ho's name being said outright?

He probably annoyed the higher ups because he got arrogant.

The investigation results aren't even out yet.

We're destroying a person's life.

How will we deal with the repercussions?

Why should we? We're the media.

- Then who will? - Someone will, but not us.

How could you say that?

Just because we feel bad for one person,

the media can't cover up suspicions...

and pretend not to know.

If we had to take responsibility for their lives after doing the news,

no one could do the news.

(Soo Ho)

Whether that money was borrowed or a bribe,

I'll cover it on the news if I have to.

Even if I say your name, don't be hurt.

I'll pay it back.

The law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball incident...

has turned into a bribery scandal in the legal world.

It was discovered that the star judge who rose to fame...

for sentencing a corporate heir to prison...

(Han Soo Ho)

...for sentencing a corporate heir to prison,

Judge Han Soo Ho also received a bribe.

A public outcry is expected.

We'll connect to the report on the scene.

Okay. Stand by.

The law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball incident...

has turned into a bribery scandal in the legal world.

Oh Dae Young admitted a part of the accusations...

regarding the bribery during his interrogation.

(It was discovered that the star judge...)

(It was discovered that the star judge...)

The identity of the judge who received a bribe...

is in this news report.

However, the investigation has not been concluded.

The prosecutor investigating the case...

did not provide an official briefing.

Thus, the news we are reporting is nothing more than...

suspicions and doubts.

It is the media's responsibility to report suspicions.

However, it is irresponsible for the media to report...

only based on suspicions.

After receiving the news script, I struggled with the weight...

of responsibility and irresponsibility.

And I made a conclusion.

Suspicions are spread as intended by certain people,

and the media plays along and reports them.

Thus, society judges them for it, but nobody...

takes responsibility.

Our news desk wishes to break such a cycle.

The fundamental belief of the media is that we will not...

make our viewers slaves of the news, and we will not forget that.

Whereas Oh Dae Yang's corruption is merely suspicions as of now.

However, once the suspicions are confirmed to be true,

or the moment someone tries to bury those suspicions,

we will not forget and will report it on the news.

Next on the news.

I should join that announcer lady's fan club.

Won't she be fired for doing that?

Why would she be fired? They should give her an award.

She went on the news and said she won't do the news.

She's saying she won't do it if it isn't real news.

Have you seen news like that before?

Have you?

Hey, you!

Are you that great?

If you say that, what are the later news shows supposed to do?

You made a fool of the rest of the news shows.

What's your deal? Are you being paid by another station?

Hey.

Must I hear this garbage from people from other stations, too?

You're the best, and the rest are all trash?

Who are you to ruin our news and do this to our station?

Hey, you.

Resign and get lost.

If a war breaks out, you can come and report that.

Get out now!

I promised the viewers...

that I'll report once the suspicions are confirmed.

You made the promise,

but I have to take responsibility for it?

Get out.

- Write your resignation letter! - Not with my own hands, I won't.

Fire me.

You come back here. Hey!

Take care of your mess!

[VIU Ver] SBS E22 Dear Judge "Beef Should Always Be Grilled" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

This is the money I borrowed. This isn't everything.

I'll give you the rest with the interest soon.

Are you trying to put distance between you and me?

I'm paying you back because I made a promise.

I don't remember such a promise.

I made a promise with my girlfriend.

You're a nice guy.

When I was being interrogated at the prosecution,

I mentioned no one's name.

Including yours, sir.

And you and I never played golf.

We only talked about going golfing together,

but you never joined me on the field.

I'm leaving.

The chairman of the disciplinary committee...

is very upset.

Sorry?

I get that you were in a tight spot,

but threatening to expose...

corruption of the judiciary branch in front of the chief justice...

wasn't like you.

I...

threatened him at the hearing?

I threatened the chief justice?

Being young isn't your weapon.

It's especially the case in the legal circle.

I'll set up a meeting on the golf course later.

Kang Ho, that jerk.

What has he done?

Should I write a decision on this one too?

What will you write?

I'm not sure.

You've already decided,

but it's different from the accepted interpretation of the law,

so you feel uneasy.

Isn't that right?

No, it's not.

That was always the case when you said you weren't sure.

Write it up and don't worry about me.

- Can I do that? - When have you not?

But why aren't you sending me the photos of us at the karaoke?

You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Have you gone mad? Aren't you embarrassed?

What do you mean, bro?

Don't call me that. You're embarrassing me too.

You threatened that clueless trainee officer...

to write a petition.

Don't you know that...

if you're suspended, the trainee officer will be ruined too?

She hasn't even started her career yet,

but you already marked her.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself as a fellow officer of the law.

What is he saying?

(Petition)

Dear Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee.

I would like to introduce myself to the panel of the committee.

I'm Song So Eun, a student from the judiciary institute.

I'm currently working under Judge Han Soo Ho's instruction...

as part of my training from the Individual Criminal Department.

Judge Han was...

the most warm-hearted judge I've ever come across.

The officers of the law are required to improve the decisions...

based on the interpretation of the law.

Judge Han went beyond his duty.

He tried to heal the wounds of the people involved in the trials...

and bring peace to them.

The judge I've observed...

is the humblest judge I've ever seen.

He stayed humble...

and showed by example that the law doesn't rule over the people.

And the judge I've observed...

is a good person.

(Sang Chul)

Yes?

It's been long.

Can we meet after you finish work?

No, I have...

a lot of work.

And I'm not ready to see you yet.

This is about Judge Han's disciplinary action.

Let's meet at Ha Yeon's bar after work.

What is it about?

I'll tell you in person.

Drink it.

What about the judge?

Did you hear anything from the committee?

Who told you to write the petition?

Judge Han made you write it, right?

How did you find that out?

The news is all over the place.

You sided with the judge who's about to be suspended.

What do you want to make yourself of?

You should've turned it down even if he asked you.

No one asked me. I did it on my own.

I wanted to write it.

Han Soo Ho will face disciplinary action for certain.

It'd be better for you to move to another judge before that.

I have a friend in the administration office at court.

I'll get you a new judge.

No, don't do such a thing.

- "Such a thing"? - I won't transfer.

Even if he gets suspended,

or it ruins my reputation, I don't care.

What's going on with you?

What do you mean?

You have no reason to stay.

I do.

What is it?

What is the reason?

Do you...

like him?

I'm just a trainee officer.

A trainee officer can't have feelings for an instructing judge.

Even if she does,

she can't make it obvious.

So that's why...

I won't think about this.

After I graduate from the institute,

when I'm not his trainee officer anymore,

then...

I can show my feelings about him.

If I'm brave enough,

I can tell him that I like him first.

My judge...

is a good person.

Sit down. Don't go.

If I stay longer, I might be disappointed in you.

Song So Eun!

Hey, Han Kang Ho!

You'd better know your limit.

How much more must you act like a lunatic to feel good about yourself?

I'll really kill you.

Hey, where have you been?

Stop acting like a lunatic.

Have you been in hiding, afraid someone might kidnap you?

You jerk.

Get out of my life quietly.

Do you think you're a real judge?

Then what about you?

You killed an innocent man to cover up...

the drug case of those rich and almighty.

You're just as unqualified to be a judge.

What do you know?

Why did I become this way?

My life was ruined because I had to pay...

your settlements and lawyers' fees!

I went to jail because of you.

That's when I stopped having a life.

But at least I led a bad life.

I wasn't a coward like you.

Watch your mouth.

Learn your place.

Just because you have it, it doesn't mean it's yours!

Then where's your place?

I'm a human being,

and you're an insect. Don't you realize that?

Give me my ID and get lost, before I press charges.

Why are you fighting in someone else's...

What are you doing?

Darn it!

How dare you curse in front of your mom?

Don't even think about seeing me again, then.

I won't. I'll never see you for as long as I live!

He's your only son.

Live a good life with him!

This jerk tells people he's an only child!

Keep it down, will you?

You jerk. Come see me after you become qualified to be a judge.

I won't give it to you until then!

Did you tell people...

you're an only child?

- Forget it. - Is it true?

Stay for a few days. I'll be back in a few days.

If you really did that, you're not qualified to be a big brother.

Don't you know how much Kang Ho cried about that?

- Don't skip any meals. - Is it true?

Is what he said true? No, right?

Good night.

(Judge Han)

(Judge Han)

(Judge Han: Want to ride the swing?)

Want to ride the swing?

Are you having fun?

Did you drink?

No.

Do you have something to say?

No.

Do you have something for me to do?

Come on.

Then why did you come?

I didn't come.

I was here before I realized it.

I was walking here and there,

and when I thought I had finally arrived somewhere, I was here.

The gravitational force must be strong here.

You must be my gravitational force.

I can't like you,

but I keep liking you,

so I can't hide it.

I...

am a trainee,

and you're a judge. That's why.

You're a good person,

and I'm a bad person.

We're not a trainee and a judge.
