DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

Attorney Shin, did you know that
you're the talk of the town?

I've been getting a lot of requests
to appear on TV recently.

This is all very new to me.

Your video got more than
a million views in no time.

It also went viral on social media.

This is a personal question,

but are you married by any chance?

No, I'm not.

I bet that caught
our listeners' attention.

I'll ask him this on everyone's behalf,
dear viewers.

Here's another personal question.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Say no!

The cases I take on
are as precious as a girlfriend.

- I see.
- Oh, my.

- That's a very professional answer.
- Good. That was clever.

I'm sure you're very popular.

The piece you played on the street
was "Erlkönig" by Schubert.

It's a very dynamic piece.

Is it one of your favorites?

Yes, not only is "Erlkönig"

a great piece to play on the piano,

but it's actually quite famous as a song.

I did my homework
before I came to meet you today.

The lyrics are
from a poem written by Goethe,

the German writer and philosopher.

- You're right.
- Yes.

The poem itself is actually quite tragic.

So tell us, Attorney Shin.

What caused you
to make a shift in your career path?

You used to be a pianist.

And if you taught students in Germany…

Why won't he talk about
who took the video?

Man, this show is getting boring.

LIVE

Well, there was no specific reason.

I was curious about the law.

Curiosity is one thing,
but this is on a whole different level.

- You're so annoying, Shin Sung-han.
- How did you study for the bar exam?

Did you study textbooks?

"Textbooks"?

EVERY ISSUE

- I studied law books.
- I see.

I wish you would die too.

Now, let's move on

to your current occupation.

I'm sure some cases
are tougher than others.

Which one was the toughest?

Every case is difficult.

I'm always on edge,
worrying if I left anything out.

My current case
isn't a piece of cake either.

What is it about?

It's a divorce suit.

But it's suddenly turned into
a sensitive social issue.

A social issue?

Would you mind telling us a bit about it?

My client's Vietnamese wife
filed for divorce.

My client, however,

cannot wrap his head around why.

Since it's a sensitive issue,
I'd rather not talk about it here.

I see.

I WAS A FAN FOR A MOMENT… BYE.

I think I know
which case you're referring to.

IS HE FRIENDS WITH THE ABUSIVE HUSBAND?

Anyway…

I see.

It must be a lot of pressure.

It is.

Just like every other case I take on.

- I see.
- Yes.

So…

what's your resolution
in approaching this case?

Resolution?

I intend to do my best

- as an attorney--
- This prick.

Doesn't Attorney Shin have
such a great voice?

He's perfect for radio.

I mean, most people tense up
when they're on air for the first time.

Right.

Attorney Shin sure is
a bit of an entertainer.

To be frank,

it's me that should be
getting all the credit.

If it weren't for me,
who would ask him to be on their show?

It's just a beautiful story.

Do you remember Jae-sik
from middle school?

- Yes.
- He's a reporter.

- Let's talk to him.
- Articles would get swept under the rug.

Keumhwa's story is everywhere.

It'll be covered up
the moment it's published.

I have a question.

Why did you call me here?

You're on leave.
Might as well put your talent to use.

Right, okay.

How about this?

Why don't we post on an online community?

They've even caught
suspects for some cases.

No.

Mr. Ma doesn't need any more attention.

Speaking of which,

and this is just an idea
I'd like to throw out there.

I'm just throwing it out there.

This case has already
become a huge social issue.

The public opinion
is in support of Dinh Thi Hoa,

and Mr. Ma has been
dragged onto the stage as well.

But Dinh Thi Hoa is hogging the spotlight.

We should be getting
some of the spotlight too.

We need to be provocative.

Right? So here it goes.

- It's just an idea.
- Yes.

Hear me out.

Shin Sung-han.

Attorney Shin Sung-han.

A sort of…

The hottest guy in the field of law.

A sexy guy who's perfect in every way.

A total stud.

Who's also…

as pretty as an idol.

The hidden gem of Seocho-dong…
I mean, of the whole district.

- A treasure?
- You do know you aren't that hot, right?

- No, I mean--
- How about the radio?

Are there any shows he could go on?

So this is why you told me to come.

You wanted a gig.

We need the public's attention
to turn the tables.

Even if we go with that ridiculous

Seocho-dong idol story…

Anyway, even if we go with that,

who's going to buy that?

"Ridiculous"?

Don't.

This meeting is too intense.

Let's play some music.

"Erlkönig" by Schubert.

It's perfect.

What's that?

I think we might have a beautiful story.

That story ends with you getting fired.

Attorney Choi!

You're a genius!

I'll kill you.

Please.

Is this real?

It's not a deepfake?

No.

It's really me.

This should draw attention, right?

He's so cool.

Who cares if he's a lawyer?

These people will do anything for money.

We need to come together
and bring this lawyer down.

- Okay? Donate to my account.
- That jerk's lawyer is a jerk too!

Everyone is an attorney
before they get into politics.

Why are all the protagonists attorneys
in dramas these days?

HE SOLD OUT.
ANOTHER ATTENTION-SEEKING LAWYER.

DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

You like the piano?

Yes.

I thought it was strange.

I wondered why he went to Shin Sung-han.

So you had that in common?

Did you also switch majors like he did?

No, I was never that good.

I just have a crush.

On Shin Sung-han?

On the piano!

I told you he was a funny guy.

This is his style.
He has an unusual approach.

What is Sung-han up to these days?

He's preparing for his defense

and hanging out with his friends.

Is he preparing anything
for the Ma Chun-seok case?

What do you mean?

Are you asking

whether he has an ace up his sleeve?

What's in it for me?

I thought you were pulling my leg
because I quit right after my internship.

But if it's going to be
this serious and consistent,

we should make a deal.

You sounded just like Sung-han.
You've learned a lot from him.

No, I didn't learn anything.
I do my own thing.

I told him from the get-go

- that I'd been spying on him.
- What did he say?

He told me to be a good spy

and to treat him when I get paid.

If you seriously want me to spy for you,

I'd like something else in return.

You really are one of a kind.

I'm not some cotton swab
you can tailor to your liking.

Choi Jun.

Attorney Choi.

What can I offer

to stir up your interest?

Are you serious?

- Park Yu-seok's position?
- Yes.

I even impressed myself.

I saw this vigor inside me.

Are you touched?

This is who I am, okay?

So loyal.

What are you talking about?

I sensed a deep melancholy
from your street performance.

How can I put this?

Some sort of deep, dark anger.

Some deep-rooted sorrow…

Excuse me.

Schumann…

Schubert.

Right.

- "Iconic."
- "Erlkönig."

That one.

I showed the video to my mom,
and it blew her mind.

Aren't you going to finish that?

She'll be here soon.

- Really?
- When?

Does she want to see me?

"I won't live much longer."

"I've got to see Attorney Shin
perform in person."

So what did Park Yu-seok say?

Nothing.

How did he look?

Like a cotton swab
with half the cotton missing.

Hey, look over there.

- What?
- Look at that.

It looks just like you.

That half-opened ramyeon bag.

Stop laughing.

Cut it out.

I'm in the parking garage.

I'll be right up.

Lee Seo-jin's Run on the Radio.

This is our last story of the day.

It was sent in
by Kim Su-ji from Namyangju.

"Hello."

"I went on a trip
to Jeju Island last month,

and I ran into the man
of my dreams there."

"I knew I would regret it
if I didn't do anything,

so I worked up the courage
to ask for his number."

Good for you.

"I got back home
and was about to contact him,

but I stopped,
wondering if I'm rushing it."

"What do you think I should do, Seo-jin?"

STATION DIRECTOR JANG JON-HO

You and Producer Bang
desperately begged me

to get him on a show,

but you never thanked me

or even got back to me.

- Where are your manners?
- Look.

I wanted to send you a gift,
but you wouldn't give me your address.

What was I to do?

I don't need any gifts.

I just wanted to see you.

You should have looked me up
on the internet.

There's a whole lot
of Lee Seo-jin on there.

You and your words.

Too bad you're wasting your talent.

Give me a show if you really think so.

Anyway, I'm glad to see you.

If you want to send me something,

I'll text you my address.

Anyway…

About the year-end reshuffle.

Why don't you come back
with a late-night show?

I guess a late-night show
would be a good fit.

And I can't wait to make a comeback.

But it won't be that easy.

Of course not.

You know how conservative this station is.

That's why you should start
with a late-night show.

Nine in the morning.

The same slot.

As long as the listeners accept me,

that's where I want to return to.

You seem surprised.

The morning show would be tough.

- Please have a seat.
- Sure.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Where's Ms. Lee?

I wanted to see her, but she wasn't in.

What is she up to?

Beats me.

They have a ton of visitors these days.

Especially after the radio.

But they've only taken on
a couple of cases.

And yet, everyone seems busy.

It's weird.

They must get a lot of consultations.

Do they make visits too?

No way. They even send away
those who visit them here.

Do you have two-year leases too?

It's mostly monthly rent around here.

What's the average rent?

Rent…

Isn't it too far from your work?

I used to want to live close to work,

but not anymore.

You look excited.

Did your stocks go up?

This?

There's this small club I'm in,

and I'm interested in
one of the ladies there.

A lady?

Her username is Orange Sky.

Look at this.

She said,
"I'll be joining late. Sorry. Tears."

So I said,
"Be there or be square. Smiley face."

I want her to notice me.

This Saturday?

"This is Jo Jeong-sik."

Hey, you're here.

Seo-jin wasn't in.

I was asking him about rent.

Are you going to move here?

This part of the town is too expensive.

- I'll leave you two to talk.
- Sure.

You should probably delete
the "be square" part.

Why?

I've seen this before.

You seem a bit too…

Good luck anyway.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hey, is "be there or be square" bad?

Everything you do is. I need your car.

Do you even know what it means?

- It means you're uptight.
- Dude.

It means you have to be there.
You need to learn these things.

- Good grief.
- Hey.

It looks pathetic
when you try too hard to sound young.

It would if I looked like you.

- Me, not so much.
- I need your car.

- What about yours?
- It's in the shop.

- What about Sung-han's?
- Just give it.

Where are you going?

Not too far.

So where exactly?

Jeolla-do. It's a quick drive. Nice roads.

- Are you going to Jeonju?
- No.

Even Gwangju is too far.

You're so stingy.

Forget it, man.

- Haenam isn't even that far.
- It's literally the farthest.

It's the Vietnamese wife case, isn't it?

I get that attorneys are
in the service industry,

but Haenam is just too far.

I'd even travel to the ends of the earth.

We have to win this one.

We're up against Park Yu-seok.

We have to step it up.

Don't get so serious.
Forget it. I'm renting a car.

Hey.

Should we leave now?

Why would I bring you?

I heard the station director
talked to you about your comeback.

I can't do a late-night show
with Hyeon-u alone at home.

He made that offer
knowing I couldn't accept it.

I'll look after Hyeon-u.

He loves me.

I guess we can ask him.

Hyeon-u, is that you?

Hyeon-u!

It's your favorite aunt, Aunt Ho-yeong!

That's it?

Hello.

Wow.

Hyeon-u, put your backpack down
and wash your hands.

- Here.
- Hello.

Hyeon-u.

What do you think
about Mom going back on the radio?

Can she go back?

If she does…

If she does comes back…

Mom does it better.

The 9 a.m. radio show.

She's the best at it.

Yes.

Okay, I'll call you back. Goodbye.

One for you.

- Eat up.
- Okay.

It must be tough to look after
your child with your injured arm.

People here help me out.

So they help you out.

Yes.

How's your son?

He's still very young.

He eats well

and sleeps well.

Good.

I just have some questions.

You were assaulted by Mr. Ma

on September 12, correct?

You asked him for a divorce,

and you told him
you'd take your child with you.

- Yes.
- What did you just say?

Divorce?

Divorce?

Don't be ridiculous!

Divorce?

What did I ever do wrong?

I'm going back to my mom's.

I'm leaving with Yeong-gwang.

Chun-seok, you need to stop.

Chun-seok.

You need to stop.

So Mr. Ma became furious.

- Stop that!
- The old lady next door?

- The sweet potato lady.
- Yes, her.

She came and pulled you away.

Yes.

And then you left home, Ms. Dinh Thi Hoa.

Yes.

But without your son.

You left him behind, correct?

I couldn't bring him with me.

He's still a baby.

Right.

And the next day…

The next day.

Yes, September 13.

You went back and asked him once again.

Yes.

Hey, get back here!

Do you know how much I spent on you?

I want to live with my mom.

I'm leaving with my baby.

I've had enough
of your drinking and beatings.

Watch your damn mouth!

I've got to beat some sense into you.

Mr. Ma became furious
and picked up a stick…

and he hurt you right there.

She said she'd give up permanent residency
and leave for Vietnam with Yeong-gwang.

I still have no idea what I did wrong,

but I promised her I'd change.

I tried to talk her out of it,
but she wouldn't listen.

In the end, I lost it.

I kicked and broke everything.

I was a bit drunk.

When the old lady next door stepped in,

she left home.

It's considered emotional abuse
to throw and break objects.

I know what that is.

You'd rather be hit and be done with it.

It sucks to tremble with fear all day.

But that's what I was doing.

I swore…

that I'd never turn into my father.

Do you think I'm a pushover?

I'm asking you!
Do you think I'm a pushover?

You.

- You need a beating.
- Because of the memories of your father,

- you've never used violence.
- Don't hit her, Father!

Even if a dog bites into your leg,
you just let it be.

You just wait for it to grow tired.

Do you remember everything I told you?

There's something else that bothers me.

After you two had a fight in the yard,

your wife left home
but returned the next day.

And then

she started walking around
the yard and the house.

Thud.

Thud.

Are you her guardian?

Goodness.

Goodness, Yeong-gwang.

No.

Don't take him.

No.

No, Yeong-gwang!

Goodness, Chun-seok.

Goodness.

I just think it's weird.

She knew she'd get badly beaten

and asked the people
at the Women's Shelter to come.

And she wants to return
to Vietnam after the divorce,

giving up permanent residency.

Something doesn't seem right.

She got married
because she had too many younger siblings.

So why would she go back with her kid?

Right?

She'd be better off being here
and getting child support

and doing some part-time jobs
once the kid is older.

Exactly. Something doesn't add up.

Jeong-sik and I will do our best!

Jeong-sik?

Why Jeong-sik?

He's coming along.

He insisted on taking his car.

Did he…

open up the Box of Park Yu-seok?

It kind of ended up that way.

So he'll come to Haenam with you?

Man, when will he get over it?

Get over what?

Is he Park Yu-seok's other half?
Why is he getting involved?

This isn't easy for Jeong-sik.

Throw it.

Haenam is really far.

That's why I put a nice playlist together.

It's perfect for a road trip.

- Listen.
- No.

What do you mean?

I'm not doing it out of guilt.

Why else would a realtor
volunteer to drive all the way to Haenam?

All you did was help her find an attorney

on behalf of her selfish brother.

But that attorney
happened to be Park Yu-seok.

You better win.

Drive safely, idiot.

We're leaving early tomorrow.

Let's go home.

You're leaving tomorrow?

Yes, I have Supper for Singles
the day after.

Suppressed singles?

No, it's a supper. For singles.

- What the heck is that?
- A singles' club.

Supper for Singles.

I have to be there.

She's joining late.

And I…

refuse to be square.

What a busy life you lead.

Supper for Singles, my foot.

I'd rather go to Supper for Shingles.

Darn it.

How about Supper for Shambles?

Why are the balls so fast here?

They have breaking balls.

They drop right in front of me.

I'm done with this.

I could live here
after fixing up a few things.

You're going to live here?

Are you surprised because it's shabby
or because I'm not returning to Hawaii?

Gardening isn't for me.

I am

thinking of living here with Gi-yeong.

Mother.

I was testing you.

I wondered if Gi-yeong meant

anything to you.

I'm relieved to know that you care.

I may not be a great son myself,

but I do care about my child.

Exactly. I'm quite relieved.

Isn't it obvious?

Then why did you try
to take away what's obvious?

Ju-hwa

obviously cared about Gi-yeong too.

You already lost her.

What if you lose more?

She had an accident.

- Gi-yeong--
- Why would you

take away what he loves the most?

What are you so afraid of
that you'd ban him from seeing his uncle?

Keeping my family strong is my priority.

Do you think our relationship is like this

because our family isn't strong?

What do you think life is?

I'm not sure.

It's full of choices.

Choices.

Make wise choices, and you break even.

If not…

Free up Gi-yeong's schedule
for the weekend.

I want to spend some time alone with him.

Come stay with us.

Gi-yeong misses you too.

I'll stay at a hotel
during the renovation.

Send Gi-yeong over.

Asshole.

So? Should I take over?

Go back to sleep.

What? I just kept my eyes closed.

You slept for six hours straight.

You're lying.

I couldn't sleep at all
with the roof open.

- My back.
- The air is so crisp here.

How refreshing.

- My back feels weird.
- Why?

I'll drive. Give me the keys.

The police would pull you over
thinking you stole the car.

This is nice.

- How much longer do we have?
- Fifteen minutes.

We're in Haenam?

Are you even human?

Darn you, punk.

You're glowing from your nap.

GWANGJEODANG PHARMACY

What do you recommend for a lady

- in her mid-eighties?
- Mid-eighties?

Is it Ms. Gi-bok?

- Sorry?
- I know most people around here.

Which old lady is the supplement for?

Do you know Mr. Ma Chun-seok?

Any recommendations for his mother?

Is that so?

But even if she took supplements,

I don't think she's in any condition
to absorb any nutrients from them.

Yes, you're right.

So what's your take on this situation?

How much is it?

In my opinion,

everything began over there
at that pesticide shop.

When Chun-seok got into that huge fight
with the owner, Mr. Baek.

You know what I mean?

But how do you two know Chun-seok?

We're with Mr. Ma's attorney.

- From Gwangju?
- No, Seoul.

Oh, my. You came very far.

Chun-seok won't end up
behind bars or anything, right?

- Behind bars?
- Will he go to prison?

He assaulted her.

Ms. Jo first met her husband at church.

They grew closer after her husband

registered as a new member.

"To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul."

"My God, I have trusted in you."

"Don’t let me be shamed."

"Don’t let my enemies triumph over me."

What do you do for a living?

I work as a plant manager in Osan.

I started as a part-timer

while I was taking time off from college,

but I ended up staying.

He mixed lies with facts
to sound trustworthy.

"Again, therefore,
Jesus spoke to them, saying,

'I am the light of the world.'

'He who follows me
will not walk in the darkness,

but will have the light of life.'"

"The Pharisees therefore said to him,

'You testify about yourself.'

'Your testimony is not valid.'"

"Jesus answered them,

'Even if I testify about myself,

my testimony is true,

for I know where I came from,
and where I am going…'"

I hear a signal from the balcony
every day at 2 p.m.

It sounds like Morse code.

He didn't seem bothered
by her schizophrenic symptoms

and heard her out.

Her mother was relieved to have him.

Her mother thought
his character was more important

than his education or career.

He works too far away.

That's true.

It'd be great if I could be with him.

I studied to be a barista.

What?

Look.

They opened a café for her,
and it was going well.

The problem was
that her husband would disappear,

leaving her alone in charge.

He didn't know she was schizophrenic,

so he must've thought
she could do this alone

and stayed out.

Schizophrenia can't be cured, right?

It can be treated.

When Ms. Jo met her husband,
she was improving,

so no one at her church knew
she had schizophrenia.

That girl said she'd kill me.

She bought a knife.

I threw it out, but she got it again.

But you know,

it's too small to kill a person with.

- "That girl"?
- The seven-year-old girl

who Park Hyeon-tae said was his niece

turned out to be his daughter.

Her condition quickly worsened
after she found out.

That's when her husband finally found out
she had schizophrenia.

But he said he'd look after her with love

and joined a schizophrenia
support group and whatnot.

"Look after her with love"?

He hides to watch shows on his phone.

Who is he trying to fool?

So you believe
that Mr. Park was already aware

that Ms. Jo was being
treated for schizophrenia?

I think that might be
why he was so receptive to her.

In that case,

why don't we go talk to the members
of the support group Mr. Park goes to?

We should go.

But he has already…

seen you two.

You could go yourself…

Let's discuss this when Mr. Jang returns.

I was supposed to go to Haenam with him.

I heard about this great tteokgalbi place.

After that video of yours
went viral again,

everyone's been asking for a new video.

So I was going to upload
a tteokgalbi mukbang video.

He'll probably be enjoying it with Mr. Jo.

There's this restaurant
where someone made a great mukbang video.

I thought I'd finally get to go.

Man, I'm jealous.

The sound of the engine is like a lullaby.

I slept like a baby.

You can go alone.

Of course, I'll do that.

- You're driving on our way back.
- Sure thing!

I'll be right back.

How is it sunny all day long?

Is this how it is in Haenam?

There's not a cloud in the sky.

HAENAM WELFARE CENTER

ATTORNEY PARK YU-SEOK

Down, seven.

Goodness.

So? Did your suit for damages end well?

You're amazing.

You saved my life.

Are you busy right now?

Not really.

I'd like to buy you a drink to celebrate.

- Goodness, really?
- Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Attorney Park.

Do you handle divorce cases too?

I can start doing them from now on.

It's for a younger sister
of a good friend of mine.

You know Daenam Electronics, right?

Right, she's your friend's sister?

Yes, she can't find a lawyer.

Every single one got fired.

- Who got them fired?
- Daenam!

Daenam did.

I think Keumhwa Law Firm
actually belongs to Daenam Electronics.

No way. Corporations
can't invest in law firms.

Daenam.

I'll drive.

Let's pull over somewhere…

No, let's pull over
at the next rest area, okay?

Your discs will slip
if you drive both ways.

Piece of shit.

Why the hell was he here?

You better clarify
who you're talking about.

I'm in a crappy mood right now.

LEAVE FOR VIETNAM?
GIVE UP PERMANENT RESIDENCY?

Attorney Shin!

Attorney Shin!

What?

Do we have any beer in the office?

No beer!

I mean, what's the big deal
if he switched to another pesticide shop?

But it is.

His family's done business with that shop
since Mr. Ma's father's days.

They'd been doing business
for two generations

and he turned his back on them overnight.

It means they became enemies.

What's with him?

- Is he okay?
- Let him be.

He's been talking to himself all day.

Anyway, that pesticide shop owner
used to nag Mr. Ma

whenever they met.

Come on!

I only said that to him
because I was worried, okay?

Everyone in the neighborhood was
talking behind his back,

but nobody would tell him to his face.

Tell him what?

You know,

I was just worried.

I told him to keep an eye on her
just in case.

Chun-seok's wife is just a kid.

She's really young.

Chun-seok doubled his workload
to support her family in Vietnam.

But his wife stays out
using her Korean lessons as an excuse.

If she studied so hard,
she should speak better Korean by now.

Good grief.

She gets drunk
and takes a taxi home all the time.

I saw this with my own eyes.

You know,

I'm not sure if he was
Vietnamese or Filipino,

but she was drinking beer
with a man her age!

How could I not be angry?

I guess it is.

- For Mr. Ma.
- That's what I mean!

So I said a few things to him,

but he threw a huge fit at me,
when I'm like his brother!

Good grief, this is crazy.

She didn't get any better at Korean,

but she had the best attendance rate.

Why was Park Yu-seok there?

Are you still on about that?

Why would someone
in his position travel that far?

It does seem weird. Doesn't feel right.

What was he up to?

He looked like he was up to something.

That asshole.

So she had good attendance.

Park Yu-seok was there.

So what? I'm sure he came
because he was worried too.

Why would he be?

I told you many times already!

Dinh Thi Hoa is acting strangely.

It's unnatural for her
to return to Vietnam after the divorce.

Try to focus and listen carefully,
you stupid paralegal.

What the heck?

He drove both ways.

ATTORNEY ASSHOLE VISITS HAENAM?

WHAT DOES DINH THI HOA WANT?

SON
MA YEONG-GWANG

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

- Gi-yeong.
- Uncle Sung-han!

I have to get my hair done,
go to the sauna, and get a massage.

Can you stay with Gi-yeong?
I'll be back before dinner.

Feed him well.

You haven't left for Hawaii yet?

I'm not going back.
Things have become interesting lately.

I don't want to miss out on anything.

Gi-yeong, have fun.

Okay.

Put your phone away
during weekends, honey.

Where's Gi-yeong?

Dad, where's Gi-yeong?

He's meeting Grandma today.

Why can't I meet her?

Go.

Go!

You have to take that.

Take it!

If you don't take it,
it'll be too hard to win!

I heard Uncle Jeong-sik is good at this.

He's lying.

Why did you send them away?

Because they're dangerous people.

No!

It must be the uncles!

Really?

Darn it.

Who is it?

I've always wanted to meet you,

and here we are.

How may I help you?

I heard my son is here.

I asked Mr. Jung for the address.

Are you talking about Gi-yeong?

Yes.

He has a lesson in the evening.

Gi-yeong.

His grandmother is the one
who dropped him off.

I'll keep him here until she returns.

Mr. Shin.

On Gi-yeong's family registration,

there are only Jeong-guk, me,
and his sister, Ha-yul.

Your name is not on it.

That means the four of us,

Seo Jeong-guk, Jin Yeong-ju,
Seo Ha-yul, and Seo Gi-yeong,

are family.

Gi-yeong.

Gi-yeong.

Mother, it's me.

You must be busy,
so I came to pick up Gi-yeong.

Please take your time and enjoy your day.

Gi-yeong.

Let's break the record next time.

Let's go.

ATTORNEY ASSHOLE VISITS HAENAM?

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Mr. Ma.

What are you doing here?

You used to be a piano teacher?

I looked you up on my phone
and saw you going wild on the street.

Are your fingers bruised yet?

You must like that song.

Yes.

I listened to it on my way here.

It was meant to be sung,

with this famous poem as the lyrics.

There's a dying boy in the poem.

His father tries to save him
from the Erlking,

an evil being who tries to take the boy.

It sounds more like a novel.

Right?

Many people think you are…

this Erlking.

Those who are on the fence think

you're the father
who's trying to save his son.

It sounds complicated, right?

To you,

am I the Erlking or the father?

I think you're the son.

The son who is dying

in his father's arms.

I want to ask you something.

And I really…

really have to know.

How do you think the trial will go?

How are you feeling now?

How do you feel?

- Please say something.
- Please give us a comment.

- Any comments?
- Tell us how you feel.

GWANGJU FAMILY COURT

How do you feel?

How do you think it'll go?

Tell us how you'll defend him.

- Did you really assault her?
- Say something!

Do you have anything to say?

Defendant's counselor.

You may question the plaintiff.

Plaintiff.

Is Yeong-gwang doing well?

Yes.

Yeong-gwang's family name is Ma.

His name is Ma Yeong-gwang.
Is that correct?

DEFENDANT

I will ask you just one question.

Just one.

I'll talk slowly, so listen up.

You may lie in court,

but you should never lie to me.

So be honest with me.

You can't keep anything from me.

Because you won't go down alone.
I'll go down with you.

So be honest.

This is a very important question
for reclaiming your honor.

So please

be honest

with me.

Is the child in question, Ma Yeong-gwang,

really the son

of the defendant,

Ma Chun-seok?

Where's the dad?

I don't know.

He changed his number.

He won't answer my calls.

He said he was going to Vietnam.

I have to go back to survive too.

Are you sure he went back to Vietnam?

Tell me his name, age,

former workplace,

and everything you know.

What happens to us once you find him?

We need to find him

and hide him in Vietnam.

My mother won't live for long.

Card games at the senior center
are her only enjoyment.

If…

If by any chance,

he isn't my son…

my mother

will shut herself in this house.

Even if…

Even if he really isn't my son,

he's still my son on paper.

So if we continue to live like this,

maybe we could be family.

What should we do?

What do you think we should do?

I already gave you my opinion.

People think you married
a young, foreign woman

only to abuse her.

You need to clear your name…

in order to live honorably.

Your Honor.

I request a paternity test
of their son, Ma Yeong-gwang.

Attorney Park.

Attorney Park Yu-seok!

DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

However, the most painful thing
for her to bear was…

Do you think Ms. Dinh Thi Hoa
is the only one who slandered him?

Ms. Lee. We even pulled that off.

Your ex-wife.

She's not your last love, is she?

- She was my first love.
- Come on, man!

- You idiot!
- You've lost your mind!

Are you trying to tie Gi-yeong's hands?

Why me?

I know something is up.

Please help me.
