Is there really a law
that states that even those

who did not view a cultural heritage
must pay the admission fee?

May I go on a business trip?

Where to?

Jeju Island.

I'll do my best to earn my keep

since I'm taking
several rookie attorneys with me.

I don't get what we're all doing.
I'm already busy as it is.

And then we'll go

to the meat noodle restaurant
you recommended.

Gosh.

It looks like it's been closed
for quite some time.

Haengbok Noodles
makes the best meat noodles.

Have you been to Hwangjisa?

What you see isn't everything.

Don't be blinded by what you can see.

Keep in mind the essence
of what lies beyond that.

Why are you acting
like a grown-up all of a sudden?

I'm not acting like a grown-up.

I am one.

Hey, Jun-ho, you're here.

Jun-ho.

You're not going to
tell our parents, right?

We just want you to be happy.

You should bring home a girl
who can make you happy.

Not someone you have to take care of.

Attorney Jung!

-Are you all right?
-Are you okay?

CASE 14
THE BLUE NIGHT OF JEJU II

They say Korea is number one in the world
for treating stomach cancer.

And mine's not even stage four.
It's stage three, so it should be fine.

Don't worry too much.

No, I'm going to
finish up the Hwangjisa case here

and will get surgery
as soon as I'm back in Seoul.

Okay, ma'am. Bye.

Korea might be number one in the world
for treating stomach cancer,

but you shouldn't think it'll be okay
because it's stage three.

Stage three stomach cancer
is the stage in which the cancer

has grown into the muscle,
subserosa, or serosa layers,

or spread to the surrounding lymph nodes.

Despite surgery,
its recurrence rate is high

so supplementary chemotherapy
is recommended.

Plus, the five-year survival rate
is only about 30 to 40 percent.

The five-year survival rate is that low?

Attorney Jung,
did you make a surgery appointment?

Of course.

I booked a surgery
at the hospital in Seoul

where I got diagnosed
before coming to Jeju.

I'm doing fine on my own,
so don't worry about me.

Shouldn't you eat a bit more?

You barely had a bite.

I have no appetite and my stomach
gets upset if I force myself to eat.

Then should I ask them
to make you some porridge?

No, it's all right.

I doubt it'll be any different.

Well…

What about meat noodles?

Meat noodles from Haengbok Noodles.

Haengbok Noodles!
But they're not in business.

What if we find the owner
of Haengbok Noodles and ask them?

That it's for an attorney who might die
of stage three stomach cancer?

There's no need for that.

Don't think about
doing anything unnecessary

and just focus on the Hwangjisa case.

Understood?

What do we have to do
to find the owner of Haengbok Noodles?

You're really going to?

Attorney Jung said not to do
anything unnecessary.

Attorney Jung did say
not to do anything unnecessary,

but I never agreed to that.

Gosh.

I raised her well.

Attorney Jung…

might not have a lot of time left to live.

If not now, he might never
be able to eat Haengbok Noodles again.

You're right.

They do say we only regret
the chances we didn't take.

It's been bothering me a bit too.

He did seem quite disappointed
while eating at Haengun Noodles.

Then shall we all
look for the owner together?

Why are you so quiet?

What do you mean?

I mean, this is usually when you would
say something and sound like a jerk.

"Why would we all do that together?
You guys do it. I'm out."

I mean, well…

It wouldn't be a bad thing
if we can find the owner.

I wanted to try those meat noodles too.

It must be really delicious
for him to describe them like that.

Are you sure you're not
the one who's sick?

I heard people suddenly change
when they're nearing death.

What did I do? Why are you…

All right.

We have to canvass the area
to find the owner's whereabouts.

Instead of going in one group,

should we split up into teams?

How do we split up into teams?

We'll do "up or down."

You mean "down or up"?

No, "up or down."

Are you talking about "dedenjji"?

Every region has
a different name for this.

Jeju's version is really long.

"Sky and land.
Even if you know, you don't know."

"This is real, this is fake.
Even if you don't win, it's useless."

Something like this.

For us, it's just
"sky is land, sky is land."

No, in my neighborhood, it was…

Well…

In your neighborhood, what?

Spit it out. What is it?

In my neighborhood, it's…

"Up or down. Can't say a thing even
if you lose. Shove crap in your trap."

We do it like that in my neighborhood.

"Shove crap in your trap!"

-We'll just go with "up or down."
-Okay.

Up or down!

Again.

Up or down!

Again.

Up or down!

Gosh, seriously.

You two should just team up.
You're so in sync.

Yes, and we don't have to
split into groups of three.

Then Geu-ra-mi, Jun-ho, Mr. Hairy,
and I will be on one team.

Su-yeon and Attorney Kwon
will be on one team.

-Done.
-Why? No.

-Let's do it again!
-We will now start investigating in teams.

Hey, let's do it again, okay?

-Up or down!
-Isn't "shove crap in your trap" funny?

HAENGUN NOODLES

THE ORIGINAL FLAVOR OF MEAT NOODLES!
INTRODUCED ON VARIOUS PROGRAMS

Welcome.

-Just a moment.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Could we ask you something?

Wait.

Weren't you here to eat recently?

Yes, that's right. We're--

Do you know where we can find
the owner of Haengbok Noodles?

The owner of Haengbok Noodles?

Why are you looking for him?

Well, we remember it being in business
the last time we were in Jeju,

but when we went this time,
it seemed like it was closed.

So we were just wondering
if you know what happened.

What do you think? He fell behind.

Fell behind?

He fell behind.

Our restaurant grew,
so he lost his place in the market.

The man tried so hard
to match our quality.

But he couldn't beat the original.

They've been out of business for a while
since they had no customers.

"Original"?

Haengun Noodles is the original?

So he named Haengbok Noodles
after Haengun Noodles too?

Yes.

That's right.

I've already had enough stress
from dealing with Haengbok Noodles.

Just hearing the name gives me a headache.

-I'm done talking about them, okay?
-Excuse me.

Yes, just a second!

Darn it.

I'm going to go get some fresh air.

I'm sorry.

I have no clue where he went.

You can ask anyone in this neighborhood,
but I doubt anyone knows.

He just closed his restaurant
and disappeared overnight

without letting anyone know
where he was going.

Why would he close his restaurant?
Do you know?

He couldn't keep up.

With that, you know.

-With what?
-What could it be?

Trend.

Even those people were at Haengun Noodles.

What were they called again?

You know, on the Internet.

Celebrities?

Celebs?

Gosh, no!

Influencers!

While Haengun Noodles was always on TV

and crowded with influencers and celebs,

Haengbok Noodles couldn't do the same.

So what could they do
other than be pushed out?

But the noodles at Haengbok Noodles
really did taste amazing.

Did you think Haengbok Noodles
was better than Haengun Noodles too?

Haengbok Noodles was run
by a mother and her son for a long time.

The broth made by the mother
was very bejigeun.

It was delicious.

Goodness, it's a shame.

Can you clean that part too? I'm sorry.

I'm late. Yes.

Have a good night.

Damn it.

HAENGUN NOODLES

HAENGBOK NOODLES

Haengbok Noodles.

My gosh.

Goodness.

Who…

You're the chef at Haengun Noodles, right?

What are you doing here?

Well…

Well, I…

To tell you the truth,

he taught me everything.

By "he," do you mean
the owner of Haengbok Noodles?

Yes.

To be honest,

I worked in this kitchen for a long time.

Although, I'm still not
as good as the owner or his mother.

So did you move to Haengun Noodles
because Haengbok Noodles closed?

No.

When I was still working
at Haengbok Noodles,

the owner of Haengun Noodles…

recruited me.

But I guess the owner of Haengbok Noodles

doesn't see it like that,

but rather that I betrayed him.

But I do want to make one thing clear.

Haengbok Noodles is the original.

Haengbok Noodles was doing well because
word got out about how good they were.

So the owner of Haengun recruited me
and asked me to make the noodles.

He even changed the name
to Haengun Noodles.

Haengun Noodles used to be BuBu Diner

and they sold home-cooked meals.

I see.

So after stealing all the customers
from Haengbok Noodles

and going on television,

Haengun Noodles became a stable business

while things got tough
for Haengbok Noodles.

Eventually, he closed his restaurant.

Do you know where he went?

Well…

I came here once, without the owner
of Haengun Noodles knowing.

I asked him where he would go

and what he would do if they closed.

And?

He laughed

and said he would relax at a place where
the mountains and waters are nice.

"A place where
the mountains and waters are nice."

Where could that be?

Is he even in Jeju?

The chef doesn't know that either.

Just that he'd go relax at a place
where the mountains and waters are nice.

That could literally be anywhere.
This is becoming a headache.

"A place where
the mountains and waters are nice."

Don't get too caught up on that.

It's just an idiomatic phrase.

It means a place
with beautiful natural scenery.

That's right. When people say
good mountains and waters,

they usually mean
the scenery is beautiful.

Right.

Then could it perhaps have anything to do
with Mountain Water Nursing Home?

Mountain Water Nursing Home?

There was a pile of unopened mail
in front of Haengbok Noodles.

Most of them were sent
from Mountain Water Nursing Home.

Do you remember the address?

Thirty Gyeongo-ro, Hanbaek-eup,
Jeju-si, Jeju-do.

Open parenthesis, Sansu-dong 1037,
close parenthesis.

Mountain Water Nursing Home is in Jeju.

Gosh! That's great.

Then we just have to go
to the nursing home

and ask where the owner is.

I'll go.

I want to go too.

Okay, sure.

MOUNTAIN WATER NURSING HOME

Hello, can I ask you a question?

Yes.

We were at this restaurant
called Haengbok Noodles.

But it was closed and all this mail
was just scattered on the ground.

I see.

Maybe it was being sent
to the wrong address?

Oh, this man?

Do you know him?

Yes, his mother is staying
at our nursing home.

He makes sure to visit
at least once a month,

so I didn't know
he wasn't getting our mail.

-He was here yesterday too.
-He was here yesterday?

Yes.

I see.

Then could we maybe
meet his mother for a moment?

Sorry? What for?

Well…

We're curious to know
when Haengbok Noodles will be open again.

We came a long way
because we heard about their meat noodles.

I see.

But even if you do meet her,
it'll probably be hard to get an answer.

She has severe dementia, so it's hard
to have a normal conversation with her.

I see.

I think the owner is in Jeju

since he comes here once a month
to see his mother.

Yes, but he'll be back in a month.

Even if we wait here,

we won't be able to meet him
before we go back to Seoul.

Hello?

Attorney Woo, where are you?

Well…

-It's none of your business.
-What?

What did you just say?

We're totally not looking
for the owner of Haengbok Noodles.

So did you find him?

What? No, not yet.

Attorney Woo,

we came to Jeju
because of the Hwangjisa case, right?

So let's focus on preparing for the trial.

Right.

Yes, okay.

In 1983,

when the government announced

the construction of Local Highway
Number 3008 on Hwangjisa's property,

what was Hwangjisa's position
on the matter?

We were against
the construction of the road.

Because it would destroy
the temple's environment

and disturb the monks' practice.

Most importantly, building a road
meant countless lives would be taken.

Countless trees would be cut down,

and countless animals and people
would lose their lives to car accidents.

Did the government
proceed with the construction

despite Hwangjisa's objection?

Yes.

Instead, they told us to collect
cultural heritage admission fees.

So we agreed.

Why did you agree?

Was it because the admission fees
were enough to compensate

for the damage done to Hwangjisa
by the construction of the highway?

Rather than that…

We thought fewer people would come
if they were asked to pay money.

So we liked the idea.

The best way to delay damage
to cultural heritage

and reduce the number of lives lost

is to stop people from coming
as much as possible.

I still believe
that's the most important function

of the admission fee.

Thank you. That is all.

Plaintiff's counselor,
you may begin cross-examination.

How much is the profit that
Hwangjisa earns from the admission fees?

I'm not sure.

I do not know the exact numbers.

Based on the statistics surveyed

by the Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, and Transport,

Hwangjisa earns about
one billion won in profits every year

from the collection
of the admission fees. Correct?

I told you.

I am not aware of the exact amount.

How does Hwangjisa use the money
collected as admission fees?

It's used to maintain and repair Hwangjisa

and the cultural heritage
that Hwangjisa owns.

Aren't you already receiving the budget
necessary to maintain and repair

Hwangjisa and the cultural heritage
that Hwangjisa owns from the government?

This year, the Cultural Heritage
Administration has set aside

a budget of 400 billion won for the repair
and maintenance of cultural heritage,

of which 12 billion won was set aside

for the repair and maintenance
of traditional temples.

Hwangjisa will also be receiving support
from the Cultural Heritage Administration,

so isn't collecting admission fees
from citizens double collection?

It only seems like a lot when you use
numbers like one billion and ten billion.

Hwangjisa has nothing to be ashamed of.

We only receive the bare minimum

from the government and visitors
and use it wisely.

Then could you reveal Hwangjisa's
budget breakdown?

That would be difficult.

Because that's private to Hwangjisa.

You just said you have
nothing to be ashamed of and yet,

revealing the budget breakdown
would be difficult?

Objection!

Is the plaintiff's counselor
asking a question or being sarcastic?

The witness is the Abbot of Hwangjisa

who is widely respected
by many monks and Buddhists.

Please show some respect.

Plaintiff's counselor,
refrain from asking sarcastic questions.

Okay.

Last year, there were 62 reports
filed to the police

about Hwangjisa obstructing traffic
by stopping cars at the ticket booth.

Are you aware of this fact?

I am aware that there are people
who complain from time to time.

Then why won't you come up
with a solution?

Aren't there various alternatives,
like moving the ticket booth

to right in front of Hwangjisa?

It's not wrong for Hwangjisa to collect
cultural heritage admission fees.

It's justifiable under the
Cultural Heritage Protection Act,

and it is absolutely necessary
for Hwangjisa, its cultural heritage,

and the nature
surrounding Hwangjisa as well.

Why do we have to come up
with a solution while we do this work?

I mean…

What are you still doing here
when you're too sick to even go to court?

You should go back to Seoul
as soon as possible to get surgery!

Even if I go back right now,
I can't get surgery.

My appointment isn't until later.

What kind of hospital
sets a surgery date so late?

Can't you look into another hospital?

No, I can't.

Then I would have to make
another appointment and wait again.

Then it'll take even longer…

Come in.

Attorney Woo.

The plaintiff's claim that he will not pay
the admission fee because he did not visit

the cultural heritage is valid,
so why are we…

Go on.

Why are we losing the trial?

We're not able to make even a dent
into the defendant's simple claim

that Hwangjisa hasn't done anything wrong.

Excuse me,

but who are you?

What?

I'm Woo Young-woo.

Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

-What?
-She's an attorney I work with.

Excuse me, but who are you?

-I'm…
-She's…

my ex-wife.

By ex-wife…

You mean the ex-wife
who endured you for eight years

while you only worked
and neglected your family,

and who eventually asked for a divorce?

What?

Honey…

Ji-su, could I speak to Attorney Woo
for a moment?

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Right, so…

In my opinion,

I don't think
there is legal justification.

-Legal justification?
-Yes.

Hwangjisa's justification is clear.

Not only do they have the justification
that they're lawfully collecting fees

based on the
Cultural Heritage Protection Act,

but they also have a theoretical
justification that the concept

of temple cultural heritage should be
expanded to include its surroundings.

On the other hand,
our argument is lacking.

All we're doing is pushing the fact
that the plaintiff didn't visit Hwangjisa.

So it's hard for the judge
to take our side even if she wants to.

Because there's no legal basis
for a ruling.

I see.

Then how about if we claim the fact
that the system to collect

national park entrance fees
was abolished in 2007 as justification?

Since Hwangjisa is located
within the Hanbaek Mountain National Park.

But Hwangjisa is collecting
cultural heritage admission fees,

not a park entrance fee.

Then what if we request the judge

to get Hwangjisa
to reveal their budget breakdown?

Earlier in court,
I argued that it's double collection

to receive government support
and to collect admission fees,

but that had limitations since I do not
know their exact budget breakdown.

But the judge probably won't allow that.

This trial isn't about
how Hwangjisa's budget is executed.

It's about whether it's right or wrong

for the plaintiff
to pay the admission fee.

Well…

Then what kind of legal justification
could there be?

What could there be?

Well…

Ji-su?

Ji-su…

What could there be?

Hold on.

Are you done talking?

Yes.

He really hasn't changed one bit.

Sorry?

He looks more alive
talking to the attorney he sees every day

than talking to me,

who he hasn't seen in five years.

When he was with me,

his eyes were so lifeless.

But right now…

there truly seems to be life in them.

You made me remember…

why I left him.

Why did you leave him?

When I was with him…

I was lonely.

I wasn't happy.

DAD

I'm glad you're doing well.

Anyway, call me right away
if something happens, okay?

Okay.

-Dad.
-Yes, what is it?

What were you going to do

if I brought Lee Jun-ho home?

Who's Lee Jun-ho?

Well…

The person I kissed in front of the house.

That punk?

Why? You're going to bring him home?

No.

I'm just curious
why you wanted to meet him.

What do you mean why?

I wanted to see what kind of guy he is

and whether or not he's capable of
making my daughter happy.

I wanted to see

if he's a guy who's capable of
taking care of my daughter the way I do.

I see.

Right.

Jun-ho…

is that type of person.

He's someone who can make me happy.

And he can take care of me like you do.

The problem is…

me.

Am I…

someone who can make

Jun-ho happy?

Wouldn't I…

make him lonely?

Gosh, this is weird.

I heard there were a lot of people
who saw dolphins here every day.

How come there aren't any when we come?

Jun-ho.

Yes?

I don't think…

you and I should date.

Why are you saying that all of a sudden?

Is it because Attorney Jung is sick?

Is it because you feel guilty
that we're out on a date

when Attorney Jung
is going through a rough time

after being diagnosed with stomach cancer?

I didn't think about that

but you do have a point.

If it's not that,
then why on earth would you say that?

It's not because you're disappointed
about not seeing any dolphins, is it?

Gosh.

That's not the reason, right?

The dolphins…

are in the ocean.

We just can't see them right now.

Remember how the Abbot said
that what you see isn't everything?

"What you see isn't everything."

"Don't be blinded by what you can see."

"Keep in mind the essence
of what lies beyond that."

Yes, that's what the Abbot said.

That's right!

I was blinded by what I could see

that I forgot the essence
of what lies beyond that.

Local Highway Number 3008
is on Hwangjisa property.

It was built for tourism purposes
from the start.

Hwangjisa and the entire surrounding area
are temple cultural heritage.

I need to look beyond these things.

Local Highway Number 3008
is ultimately a road!

That's the essence!

Are you talking about the case right now?

There's a concept called "public property"
in Administrative Law.

Public property is made
by an administrative body

like the state or local governments
to provide administrative purposes.

Roads are provided to anyone for transit
and are an example of public property.

This concept of public property
will serve as justification.

Legal justification!

Where are you going?

I have to go discuss this
with Attorney Jung.

Are you kidding me?

You say we shouldn't be together,
and you're just leaving like this?

Am I…

Am I a joke to you?

What on earth do you think of me as?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm sorry.

Do the plaintiff and defendant
have anything else to claim or prove?

The plaintiff has something.

The defendant has none.

Then you may go ahead,
plaintiff's counselor.

Your Honor,

Local Highway Number 3008
is public property.

Public property?

Yes.

While using Local Highway Number 3008,

the plaintiff passed through
a part of Hwangjisa

which is land owned by the defendant
and also a scenic spot.

However, this only came about
in the process of using the highway,

which is public property provided by
the local government for public transit.

I am claiming that
the plaintiff cannot be deemed

as having performed the act
of visiting the cultural heritage

owned by the defendant,
just because he used public property.

I'll get in the car
with Dong Geu-ra-mi and Mr. Hairy.

Why? Did you fight with Jun-ho?

Okay, I'll see you back at the house.

Take me with you.

What's up? You're not taking their car?

I can't.

It'll be uncomfortable…

because of Jun-ho.

Why do you feel uncomfortable with him?

I told him…

that we shouldn't be together.

-What?
-What?

What's going on? Did you two really fight?

No, it's not like that.

You did.

Do you want to go for a drink?

It's okay, right?

Sure. I don't mind.

Forget it. I don't feel like drinking.

What do you think the reason is?

Why?

Is it because Attorney Jung is sick?

Is it because we didn't get to see
Sampal, Chunsam, Boksun, and Jedol?

No, I don't think even Young-woo
would have done that for that reason.

Then why is she doing this?

We were fine and all of a sudden…

Maybe you put too much pressure on her.

Look.

Either way, she went to her boyfriend's
sister's house during a business trip.

She would have been so nervous, right?

If I were in that situation…

Gosh, I don't even want to think about it.

You think so?

Did I…

ask too much of her?

He has a point.

I guess going there could have been
too much for Young-woo.

Why are you acting like you have
some sense in you all of a sudden?

I'm not acting like I have…

Why do you keep picking on me?

You're right.

She did seem like she was really nervous.

There wasn't any gimbap,

but she still
tried to eat the meat and sashimi

even though she couldn't even swallow it.

Jun-ho, don't cry.

Maybe it's a good thing.

You don't know it yet, but things
would have gotten difficult anyway.

Attorney Woo…

is not someone you can handle.

What?

What do you mean
she's not someone Jun-ho can handle?

She's right.

What are you talking about?

I mean, Attorney Woo was born…

What are you talking about?

What?

Well, she was born…

The thing is…

Her existence itself is special.

I don't know! Let's drink.

Here.

Cheers.

Wait. There's a bug in your glass.

A bug?

You're observant.

Don't drink from it.

Excuse me,
could you bring us another glass?

In anger, I yelled at you to go away

You've already gone

So far away

We broke up today

We broke up today

If you understand how I feel

We loved each other

But we're over

We're over

Is everything over

Is it?

The many days we promised

I'm always drinking

Drinking

Drinking every day

Drinking

After losing you

Will I be able to say goodbye to you

To you

You're cluelessly

Crying

But you cannot know

My true feelings behind leaving you

Please forget me

I'm only a burden to you

The memories of overwhelming love

We'll put them behind us

Behind us

You should go sleep.

Yes.

Can we talk?

What?

What has gotten into you?

-Excuse me?
-I mean,

you just changed out of the blue.

You're known to be an absolute jerk.

You get on my nerves every time you speak
and you make me want to smack you.

You should be scheming in the dark,
thinking of what tactics to use.

That's Kwon Min-woo.

Jeez, am I that bad?

You didn't know?

Where did that jerk,
the Tactician Kwon Min-woo, go?

Why are you suddenly being kind
and confusing everyone?

Gosh, I almost reported you to the police
for the crime of not staying in character.

What on earth did I do?

Why do you care if I eat a bug or not,

whether or not I can put my luggage
in the overhead bin,

or if I struggle to carry
the drinks by myself?

Why is Kwon Min-woo
going out of his way and being all nice?

Jogging in the morning
even when you're on a business trip.

Buying flowers from an old lady.

What act are you trying to pull?

Being cool like that doesn't suit you!

Why on earth are you acting like this?

Because…

we're in Jeju.

What are you saying?

Are you now pretending to be romantic?

Attorney Choi, are you interested in me?

What?

No. Are you crazy?

Then what's wrong with you?

Listing all those things about me
that I don't even know.

Be honest.

You like me, don't you?

I think you do.

Why aren't you denying it?

What?

Do you really like me?

Gosh.

I just got rejected.

What do you mean?

Can't you tell from the way Kwon Min-woo
and the angel are looking at each other?

All that extra hot and steamy
staring that's going on?

What staring? Shut up and let's go inside.

What are you talking about?

We have to go back to the karaoke.

We were just there but we're going back?

Hey.

I just got rejected by Kwon Min-woo.

I didn't even get to tell him how I feel.

Nothing really happened
for you to say you were rejected.

Did you like Kwon Min-woo?

I don't know.

Damn it.

I'm going to go sing
a bunch of breakup songs.

Because I was rejected!

I'll sing with you.

What?

Thank you, Jun-ho.

You're welcome.

What are the others up to?
Are they all at the house?

Yes, we wanted to go to Hwangjisa with you
once you were discharged.

-They should be getting ready now.
-I see.

Right.

Your guest? Did she leave already?

My guest…

My ex-wife?

Yes, she called this morning saying
she was getting on a flight back to Seoul.

I see.

Last night in my dream,
I was pleading with her,

saying that it was all my fault.

That I wouldn't be like that anymore.
So we should get back together.

But when she called me this morning,
I couldn't say one word.

I just acted cool and said,
"Okay, have a safe flight."

I guess you need to have a habit of
saying those things to actually say them.

Jun-ho, do you like anybody?

-Sorry?
-If you do,

hold onto them.

If something happens
and you let go of them,

go back and hold on tight.

But you don't seem like the type
to make the same mistakes I did.

Let's not be awkward like this.

What?

Nothing happened between us yesterday.

Nothing happened.

I don't even remember much.
I guess I had too much to drink.

You're not the only one who drank.
I don't remember anything either.

So let's just be comfortable
around each other like before.

Okay.

Is it me?

Or the angel?

Excuse me?

If you were going to a deserted island,

who are you going to bring with you?

Dong Geu-ra-mi or the angel?

What?

Ignore her and just go.

-Crazy things happen, right?
-Who would you choose?

HWANGJISA TICKET BOOTH

The ticket booth is closed.

FREE PASSAGE

Congratulations on winning the trial.

Yes, thank you.

What are you doing here at Hwangjisa?

I see.

Are you here for a free tour
before you head back to Seoul

since you don't have to
pay the admission fee anymore?

No, we're--

We are here to talk to the Abbot.

Where can we find him?

The Abbot is at the Main Hall.

You must have a lot of concerns
due to the result of the trial.

I'm sorry.

If I got concerned
about little things like this,

how could I call myself a monk?

If that is what the court has decided,
we'll have to comply.

Although we were on opposing sides
during the trial,

I learned a lot about the position
Hwangjisa is in through this lawsuit.

The damage caused by
Local Highway Number 3008

all falls on Hwangjisa
as the owner of the land.

But the government
is turning a blind eye to this

and is just using all kinds of laws
to restrict you.

Goodness.

During the trial, you were pushing me
to reveal a budget breakdown

and said it was double collection.

What's gotten into you?

Since Hwangjisa has given up

a major source of income
with the admission fees,

I believe the government should step up

and lay the foundation
for Hwangjisa's self-management.

Why don't we bring together
the relevant organizations

such as local governments,
Korea National Park Service,

Korea Rural Community Corporation,
and Cultural Heritage Administration,

and discuss this?

We should draft an MOU
on creating a foundation

for Hwangjisa's self-management.

To be honest,
I've been thinking the same thing.

This issue is something Hwangjisa
needs to handle with the government,

not the people.

But it's not an easy task
to communicate with the government.

Yes.

Communicating with the government
is always difficult.

What if this time…

you negotiate with the administration?

The administration?

The Hyeseok Order is a powerful order
with many followers.

And Hwangjisa is the most famous
out of all the temples in the order.

I believe it'll be more than possible.

Since this is something
I shouldn't be deciding on my own,

I'll have to confer with others
in the Hyeseok Order.

By the way,

why are you telling me all this?

Don't you think
you'll need help from experts

if you are to bring together
the government and relevant organizations

to sign a deal that is
advantageous for Hwangjisa?

There is a government relations team
at Hanbada.

They go beyond the scope of legal services
provided by other law firms

and act as a bridge

between the government
and individual organizations.

They communicate with the government
and the administrative agencies,

and convince them so that
an organization's needs are reflected.

So far, we've mostly
been representing companies,

but I am confident about the agreement
to create the foundation

for Hwangjisa's self-management as well.

I understand what you're saying.

I'll discuss this with the others
and be in touch.

Yes, sir.

My goodness, it's already time to eat.

You haven't eaten yet, have you?

If you're okay with temple food, join us.

Shall we?

How are you feeling?

Your face looks more gaunt
than before you collapsed.

Thank you for your concern.

I'm not feeling well.

Pray to the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.

Excuse me?

The Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva
is an almighty being

with a thousand eyes
that see the sufferings of all people

and a thousand hands

that relieve the suffering
of all living creatures.

So if you desperately call upon the name
and devote yourself,

the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva

solves all suffering.

Well…

how do I pray?

Namu Gwanseeumbosal.

Like this.

It means to devote yourself
to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.

This is the first time
I thought you were amazing.

The first?

Yes, I didn't expect you'd make
that kind of offer to the Abbot.

It was worth working so hard
after your divorce

to the point where you got stomach cancer.

Really?

Was that time really all worth it?

Yes, I think so.

Okay.

Yes.

Monks really enjoy eating noodles.

No one answers if someone asks a monk,
"Do you want some porridge?"

But if someone asks a monk,
"Do you want some noodles?"

Everyone answers yes.

It looks very delicious.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

What?

What is this? The steps in this flavor?

Sour.

Sweet.

Spicy.

Those who cook and practice Buddhism
at temples are called gongyangju.

Hwangjisa's gongyangju
is especially good at making noodles.

I heard it's hard to control
the boiling time

when you make a lot of noodles at once.

But our gongyangju
can tell the exact time right away

just by looking
at the color of the noodles.

I guess that's why
the noodles are so chewy.

There was a place that made really good
meat noodles called Haengbok Noodles.

These noodles
taste like the ones I had there.

He used thicker noodles like these
instead of thin ones.

And the mushroom toppings used here
look like big pieces of boiled pork.

Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Hwangjisa is on Hanbaek Mountain,

and there's a mineral spring
in the temple.

You're right.

Then is this…

"A place where
the mountains and waters are nice."

I want to check
if the gongyangju of Hwangjisa

is the owner of Haengbok Noodles!

Wait…

Are you the gongyangju of Hwangjisa?

Sorry?

Yes.

And were you also
the owner of Haengbok Noodles?

How did you know that?

We've been looking all over for you.

Me?

Why?

We wanted to find you and ask
if you could make meat noodles

for an attorney who might soon
die of stage three stomach cancer.

Well…

I told you not to do anything unnecessary,
but you just had to, didn't you?

If you've been looking for me,
you should know.

Haengbok Noodles is out of business.

And it's not appropriate
to make meat noodles in a temple.

Then you can open Haengbok Noodles again.

We are attorneys. We can help you.

Really?

How would an attorney help
with opening a restaurant?

If it's true that Haengun Noodles
named themselves

after Haengbok Noodles,
an attorney can help.

And Haengun Noodles recruited
an employee from Haengbok Noodles

which resulted in your
special recipe getting leaked.

If this is true, we can help.

Is this all true?

That's all true.

But even if it is, what can I do?

Have you ever heard of

the Unfair Competition Prevention
and Trade Secret Protection Act?

Pardon?

Copying the brand name
of a famous restaurant

is called an act of unfair competition.

An example would be changing
a restaurant's name to Haengun Noodles

after Haengbok Noodles became famous.

This kind of action confuses consumers,
so the law prohibits it.

And that law is called

the Unfair Competition Prevention
and Trade Secret Protection Act.

So what?

I mean,

the owner of Haengun Noodles claimed

that I hadn't trademarked
the restaurant's name,

and that there was nothing I could do
because of that.

Even if you hadn't done that yet,

this can be dealt with by making it
an issue of unfair competition.

What if we send Haengun Noodles

a certification of content
as your attorneys

and request them
to stop using the restaurant name?

But in this case,
isn't a lawsuit also possible?

You will be compensated
for all the damage caused

by the unfair competition initiated
by Haengun Noodles through a trial.

If you open your restaurant again
under the name Haengbok Noodles,

you should register the trademark then.

The intellectual property team at Hanbada
can help you with this as well.

From now on,

you can even prevent your staff
from leaking your recipes.

You can protect the recipe
as a trade secret.

A trade secret?

Yes, the reason why we don't know
the recipe for Coca-Cola

is because the company
has it protected as a trade secret.

You can do that
for your meat noodles recipe.

Of course, the process is a bit tricky,

and you need to get sworn statements
from employees as well.

But the experts at Hanbada
can also help you with this too.

Wow.

Goodness.

I didn't know all that was possible.

I didn't think the law could save me.

I thought…

all I could do was let my heart heal.

It pained me to think
that I couldn't protect

or carry on the noodle recipe

my mother taught me.

It was so painful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

The noodles are ready.

Thank you so much for opening
the restaurant for us like this.

You said you'll be
going back to Seoul soon.

The least I could do before you go
is make you some noodles.

Though I'll be seeing you soon
when I commission the case.

Yes, take your time to think about it
and contact us.

Are you sure you don't want meat noodles?

I made this
so you could at least try the broth.

No, I'm okay.

Shall we try it?

-Thank you for the food.
-All right.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

The richness of the broth

looks so good.

This is so good.

Thank you. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Take my seat.

I'll tell the flight attendant.

Okay.

I heard you guys broke up.

It'd be uncomfortable
for you to sit together.

Is it me or the angel?

The confirmation hearing for the
Ministry of Justice candidate, Tae Su-mi,

is only a month away.

Today, Candidate Tae went to the office
of the hearing preparation team

at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office
to begin preparations.

This hearing will see the opposing parties

fiercely at odds as they discuss
the controversies surrounding her,

such as her hereditary succession,

going abroad to give birth to her son,

and the close relationship she has
with Gangcheon Group

where her husband is the chairman.

Since everyone will be watching
the confirmation hearing live,

I will be thoroughly prepared.

I will do my best with an honest attitude.

CONTROVERSIES AROUND SUCCESSION,
BIRTH TOURISM, AND TIES TO GANGCHEON

Please tell us about your response plan.

Give us a comment about the controversy
around your going abroad to give birth.

Come in.

Ma'am. Reporter Lee Jun-beom
of Jeongui Ilbo is here.

Tell him to come in.

You're here.

How have you been, ma'am?

It's been a while
since you last called me.

Have you been well?

Did you find Tae Su-mi's daughter?

Excuse me?

I heard that you were
thoroughly looking into

the daughter she had
before she was married.

Yes.

Considering the circumstances,

there is one person
who I believe to be her daughter.

Who?

I'm not sure if you know her.

She works here at Hanbada.

Attorney Woo Young-woo.

I have a hunch but there's no proof.

So I haven't been able to
publish an article on it.

You're right.

What?

Attorney Woo is Tae Su-mi's daughter.

Wait.

So you knew when you hired her?

What about Tae Su-mi? Does she know?

I'll tell you everything you want to know
in due time.

On one condition.

Condition?

Publish the article…

right before Tae Su-mi's
confirmation hearing.

So she won't be able to
refute it right away.

Sure.

I'll have to discuss it with my editors,
but it should be possible.

Well…

Since I'm here,

can I meet with Attorney Woo?

First, you should speak to me.

Hold off on asking Attorney Woo questions
for a little while.

At least until the article is out.

Sure.

Fining us 300 billion won just because
we couldn't safeguard some personal data?

That's just ridiculous, isn't it?

I think the KCC accidentally added
a few too many zeros.

The KCC didn't accidentally add
a few too many zeros.

She's so arrogant.

Our users are filing
a class-action lawsuit against us.

For your colleague,

can't you just be a fool for once?

There is room for adjustment--

Stop it already!

If you're so great,
you can do it by yourself!

As of today, Attorney Woo,
you are off this case.
