DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

FINALE

I thought we were done negotiating.

Yes, but there is something
I need to check

before the case is wrapped up.

Sure.

Do you really want to…

divorce your wife?

It's true

that I gave her a hard time
throughout our marriage.

And she insisted on getting a divorce
even though I asked for forgiveness.

I had no other choice.

May I take it that you want to

preserve your marriage?

Ms. Ma.

What's the…

purpose of this divorce?

What do you mean?

Your contempt for Chairman Seo,

the long-awaited revenge…

Are those really your reasons?

You wear the crown

of pain and disgrace.

So it's no wonder
you'd want to take it off.

But then again,

you've already held out for so long.

Why don't you

hold on to that crown?

Are you telling me not to divorce him?

Chairman Seo,

you're only getting divorced
because Ms. Ma wants to.

And Ms. Ma wants to secure
her dear grandson's financial stability,

even if it means divorce.

That's the situation between you two.

Interesting.

So?

I'd like for both of you

to focus on the essence of this matter.

Give Ms. Ma her share.

Do it while you're married.

I know that

you have always done
your best for Gi-yeong.

I'll also do my best for him.

However,

I hope your decision for Gi-yeong…

This is how I feel, at least.

I hope it won't be
a sacrifice on your part.

I see.

So what's Shin Sung-han's endgame?

Didn't you come this far
because of what happened to your sister?

So tell me.

What's Shin Sung-han's true endgame?

My endgame?

My endgame is…

to file for the termination
of parental rights over Gi-yeong.

You're determined to go all the way

whether I get divorced or not, correct?

Yes.

Let's call off the divorce.

I'll give her her share.

Wouldn't you say
my attorneys are very competent?

Yes, I think they're excellent.

My divorce suit is about to end

before they get to show off their skills.

Is that so?

Maybe this is for the best.

This old couple's divorce suit
was just a warm-up.

They will now be focusing solely

on keeping my grandson.

And you're…

going to lose.

I'll talk to your attorneys

regarding the settlement
between you and Ms. Ma.

And…

as for the lawsuit over my nephew…

I'm going to win.

You sure are an artist.

How naive.

You really won't tell me?

I need to know what you talked about
with Uncle Sung-han.

Gi-yeong.

This is your home, and I'm your parent.

Why do you keep going back to your uncle?

Right.

Can I tell you something?

What?

About going back on the radio.

I still can't make up my mind.

Why not?

I don't think this is the right time.

How so?

You know how Attorney Shin helped us
when we were having a hard time?

And he even let me work for him.

That's why we can live safely right now.

It's a bit complicated,
but that's how it is.

And the thing is,

Attorney Shin is going through
a hard time right now.

Why?

Just like I wanted to live with you,

he wants to live with his nephew.

But apparently,
it's very hard to make that happen.

I think it's time for me
to return the favor.

I support you
whether you're a streamer or a radio DJ.

Just…

don't let the haters get you down.

That's my request.

NOTARIAL DEED

Go find a place for your café.

Goodness, how can I ever thank you?

PAYMENT AGREEMENT

Now that I got you a café like you wanted,

we have nothing to do with each other.

I got my severance pay,
so I'd be happy to back off.

PETITION TO TERMINATE PARENTAL RIGHTS

This is the nonsense
Shin Sung-han is up to.

He filed for the termination
of parental rights.

If you try to do something stupid,

we'll go down together.

I'm not going down alone.

I heard Park Yu-seok is
looking for a spot for his café.

He didn't come to you?

Not after I doused him
with all the cockroach spray.

He was just testing the water that day.

Why the heck would he feel me out?

Not you.

Like I said, it was a show
to feel out Jin Yeong-ju.

So like, "You better shut my mouth
before I do something"?

That jerk will never change.

So Mr. Jung said he'll testify.

What about Ms. Ma?

She can't testify.

See?

She's a mother after all.

Of course she'd put her son
before her grandson.

Termination of parental rights?

That's too harsh.
Why would you take it that far?

Here's the thing.

I don't really remember…

my mother's cooking.

I just remember that it was delicious.

But what I do remember is…

how she held me in her arms, supported me,

and scolded me at times.

That's what I remember.

Do you think…

one could live a good life
from nourishment alone?

I'm…

taking a step back from this lawsuit.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Let's look into this café
he's getting from Jin Yeong-ju.

If we can prove
that Seo Jeong-guk and Jin Yeong-ju

broke any laws during Ju-hwa's divorce,

-we definitely have a chance.
-Right.

Imagine if Gi-yeong grew up
and found out about it.

How will he live with them?

I'll look into the average
severance pay at Keumhwa.

A café is an unusual severance pay.

You're back.

Why are you still here?

I'm just…

a bit lost.

Child support suits are tough,
aren't they?

Yes.

I think Jun-hui's mom already knows

that it's hard and time-consuming
to get a court order for child support.

Did you say
her grandmother is filing the suit?

Yes.

That might be why it's taking so long.

How could the law be so ineffective?

That's how the law is.

At times, it sides
with the worst of our kind.

The woman took her mother-in-law's recipe
and started a franchise.

She's raking in money.

But she says she has no income
because it's all her husband's, man.

I'm not your "man."

Sorry, sir.

Why don't you try looking at it
from a different perspective?

What do you mean?

The recipe…

The grandma's recipe…

At this point,

I'm on the verge of holding a protest
in front of Corn Sujebi,

saying, "Everything made
by these jerks is poison!"

-That could work.
-What?

The recipe wasn't patented,

so we can't prove
that the grandma invented it.

What should we do then?

We leave it up to customers' sentiments.

Corn sujebi isn't exactly common.

She took the recipe

from her mother-in-law's restaurant

that she used to help run
alongside her late husband.

And now she's neglecting her child,

using the recipe to…

You scared me.

Find out what she's most desperate for

and put a leash

around its neck.

A leash.

Something she's most desperate for.

I wish you had discussed this
with me first.

Why did you make
such a big deal out of this?

We both got to save our faces
thanks to that clever attorney.

We should eat together more often

and go on trips too.

Let's just live as we always have.
That's easier.

Will you go back to Hawaii?

Gi-yeong is lucky.

His grandmother has his back.

It must be reassuring.

Just eat your food.

I know you have a soft spot for him
because he's Ju-hwa's son.

I was just worried about Yeong-ju.

Anyhow,

I think it's a good idea
to secure Gi-yeong's share.

However,

he can't live with his uncle.

Do you want his uncle to take
everything that belongs to the boy?

Is that what you think?

You never know.

Isn't Yeong-ju brazen?

It's all because of money.

Shin Sung-han is no different.

In the end,

it's all about money.

Remember how you said

you'd set aside money for Gi-yeong
once you get your share?

I don't think you should give it to him.

Honey.

You do know it's all thanks
to Ju-hwa's brother

that we got to save face
and patch things up, right?

Yes.

He agreed to meet and negotiate with you

on one condition.

And that condition was

to not give my share to Gi-yeong.

He said he'd put Gi-yeong through college

and marry him off with his own assets.

You say it's all about money in the end,

but that only applies
to those who are foolish.

There are those who live life
by different standards.

Are you different?

I just became different.

Yes.

I considered divorcing you
out of my concern for Gi-yeong.

I didn't see a point in it otherwise.

Not at my age
and after holding out for so long.

But now,

I have to divorce you.

I can't live with Seo Chang-jin anymore.

Let's pick up where we left off.

Let's get divorced.

Ms. Yang!

Ms. Yang!

-Here.
-Thank you.

Let's see.

And…

No, that's not it.

There's got to be something.

Where is it?

What is this?

-Happy birthday to you
-I can't do it like you.

What's going on?

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Mommy

Happy birthday to you

Thank you!

-Did you prepare this, Jun-hui?
-Good girl.

-Thank you!
-What a good girl!

Ma'am, may I take just one photo?

-Just this one.
-Okay.

CORN SUJEBI

The original place is much better.

Man, that ruined my appetite.

-Did you enjoy your meal?
-I guess.

I'm sorry, sir.

But there's no "original place"
for Corn Sujebi.

We came up with the recipe.

Really?

That's not what Jun-hui said.

Who are you?

I'm…

Ms. Yang Bok-sun's attorney.

SHIN SUNG-HAN LAW OFFICE
ATTORNEY CHOI JUN

Mr. Choi.

I honestly feel really bad for my husband.

Don't you feel bad for Jun-hui?

Of course I do.

But what can I do?

My husband and I
agreed not to have children.

So how could I ask him
to support my child?

With all due respect,

when you decide to have a child,
aren't you supposed to

raise and protect them as best as you can?

That's just a stereotype!

Not all parents feel that way!

Do as you wish.
Let's settle this in court.

Child support suits…

Yes, they do take a while.

Meanwhile, the kid grows up.

It's a shame
because the kid needs support now.

But I'm not going to stop.

Once the court order is out,
you'll have to pay

all the overdue payments at once.

I get what you're saying.

But I feel a bit uncomfortable.

You two can talk.

No, please stay with us.

You both need to hear the next part.

The recipe for making
the dough and soup for corn sujebi.

It belongs to Ms. Yang.

What kind of nonsense is this?
Are you insane?

How dare you barge in
and interrupt my business?

Your wife's ex-mother-in-law
runs Forsythia Sujebi.

It used to be run by her late husband.

Would it be weird for a chef
of a Chinese restaurant

to start his own jjajangmyeon place?

Come on, that's different.

We're not talking about
such a common dish.

You dry corn,

grind it, and mix it with flour
in the golden ratio of 6.5 to 3.5.

It's all about the ratio.

He came up with the recipe!

I did.

Mr. Jo Yeon-cheol.

You used to supply the corn flour, right?

This was a local dish
from Ms. Yang's hometown.

How did you come to know about it
when you're from Seoul?

I used to travel there often.

Is that so? Where exactly?

Where?

Cheongyang!

Is it a crime to travel to Cheongyang?

That's right, Cheongyang!

Like husband, like wife.

I'm going to file a suit
for the ownership of the recipe first.

And I'll also be…

using this.

I'll be sending her this story.

Hey.

I don't care if you're a lawyer.
You can't blackmail me!

I have evidence.

I got a picture for my protest picket.

Protest? What protest?

I'm going to hold
a one-man protest out front.

Have a look.

The people of Korea

happen to be warmhearted
and emotionally intelligent.

Will they bombard
all your restaurants with compliments

or with criticism?

Let's see how they'll respond.

Gi-yeong.

Uncle Sung-han!

Did you eat dinner?

-Yes.
-I see.

Are you coming back from your academy?

Have you been exercising regularly?

-Yes.
-I see.

Gi-yeong has to head inside.

He's my client.

Please tell them
that he's seeing his attorney.

Gi-yeong.

There's something I need to tell you.

When you grow up,

you'll be extremely rich.

If you stay here, that is.

But you know,

your grandfather…

He left me and your mom a small building.

I did some calculations,

and I think I have enough

to put you through school

and marry you off when you grow up.

If we run out of money,
I can always give piano lessons.

Is that what you needed to tell me?

Are you okay with…

not being as rich as you are now?

I think I'm rich now,

but I don't feel good.

I don't

feel happy.

We can't have you not feeling good.

So let's make you feel better

and live happily, okay?

DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

You can go now.

It's a closed trial.

I'll be in the hallway.

I'll be quiet.

You have asked to terminate
Mr. Seo Gi-yeong's parents' rights

and appoint Shin Sung-han as his guardian.

-Is that correct?
-Yes, Your Honor.

And you are his uncle, correct?

-Yes.
-Could you tell us why

you're asking to terminate
his father's parental rights?

Yes.

Three years old.

It is a crucial age for children
to form a bond with their parents.

And it was at that age that Gi-yeong was

suddenly separated
from his biological mother.

He also had to deal with a stranger
living in his mother's room

and the birth of his stepsister.

Gi-yeong had no choice

but to accept this confusing situation.

However, from then until now,
when he's turned 11,

neither of his parents
noticed his depression.

As a result,

he is currently suffering
from severe child depression.

Please refer to the psychiatric diagnosis
for the petitioner that I have submitted.

Your Honor.

This diagnosis was issued
in the presence of his uncle.

It can't be seen as objective.

I'll be questioning the witness.

Gi-yeong often had binge episodes,

after which threw up everything he ate.

On my last day of work,

Gi-yeong suddenly disappeared

while I was briefing the new driver.

I later found out that
he went to see his uncle.

Witness.

Did you inform Gi-yeong's parents

of his unstable condition?

Yes.

I informed his stepmother.

And?

She told me
not to treat him like a patient

and just do my job as his driver.

And then a week later, I was fired.

How old was the petitioner

when you started working with him?

I've been there since he was born.

I see.

Throughout his life,

the petitioner has spent more time
with Mr. Jung than with his own father.

So how would he have felt
when Mr. Jung was suddenly dismissed?

He was not only separated
from his birth mother

but also banned from seeing
her only family, his uncle.

The petitioner, this 11-year-old child,

became helpless, depressed, and distressed

when he was faced with such losses.

This was caused by indifference
and bad decisions of his parents.

You must have been
upset about being fired.

No.

I was just worried about Gi-yeong.

I'd been in need of rest,

so I wasn't so upset.

Is that so?

You were fired after working
with Gi-yeong for a decade.

Didn't you feel wronged?

No.

You have great character.

You're not giving a biased testimony
out of spite, are you?

Your Honor.

That was a rude leading question.

Sustained.

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

Please tell us about the day
when the petitioner disappeared.

Gi-yeong seemed to feel awkward with me.

I thought it was natural.

At the end of that day,

he told me he wanted to go see his uncle.

Do you mean

he went to see his uncle
with your permission?

Yes.

I informed Ms. Jin of it as well.

Is it true that someone
tailed you for three days

while you were driving Gi-yeong around?

Yes, I was…

quite frightened.

So I called the police.

Who had been tailing you?

A friend of his uncle.

So how did that end?

Ms. Jin showed him mercy,

so there was no more conflict.

That is all.

I'd like to give you
a little welcome gift.

If I'm going to give you a gift,

I want it to be a car you want.

-I…
-It's just a gift.

Please think of us as your family.

Witness.

You said the last place
you saw Gi-yeong that day

was his science academy, correct?

-Yes.
-Do you mean

he shared his destination with you

before leaving?

Yes.

LOBBY

Then please explain this.

If he shared his destination with you,

why did you rush into his classroom?

And look.

Why did Gi-yeong

hide his backpack in the classroom?

Does that look like a child
who's leaving with permission?

I'm not sure.

It was my first day,
so I wasn't familiar with his character--

Yet you chose to testify.

All right.

Gi-yeong doesn't eat much.

He refuses to eat
any food that he dislikes.

But if he likes the food,

he eats so much of it that it worries me.

That's why we keep
digestive medicine at home.

Thank you.

Your Honor.

It's a one-sided argument
that he binges due to stress.

Picky eating and gluttony
does not equal binge eating.

Witness.

What kind of food does Gi-yeong dislike?

He doesn't like namul
or any kind of soup or stew.

He doesn't like Korean food very much.

But most elementary schoolers

don't like namul, soups,
or stews, do they?

-Sorry?
-In that case,

what kind of dishes does he eat
so excessively that it worries you?

Mostly junk food.

Things like ham, sausages,
and instant food.

He eats a lot of ramyeon too.

Ramyeon?

Does he eat so much
that he needs digestive medicine?

He eats two servings
with some rice on the side.

That's not too bad, is it?

Here's what binge eating looks like.

A boy in fourth grade

who prefers two servings
of ramyeon to namul.

That's normal.

Literally speaking,

it's perfectly normal.

Come on.

You insisted on not coming,

but you couldn't disobey the judge.

Tell me about it.

Why drag me into this family feud?

This is your last chance.

Try to live decently.

I decide how I live.

Move.

You may start questioning.

Witness.

You used to be the attorney
for Mr. Seo's ex-wife,

Ms. Shin Ju-hwa, correct?

Yes.

The factor that affected
their divorce and custody suits

more than anything was

Shin Ju-hwa's psychiatric records.

-Do you remember this?
-Yes, I do.

However, the records had been

unknown to not only her husband
but also her parents and siblings.

They were from
when she was studying in the US.

Were you aware of her medical history?

No.

Had I known, I would have hidden them.

I was her divorce attorney.

I see.

Witness.

While Ms. Shin Ju-hwa was

preparing for her custody suit,

you were made a partner at Keumhwa,
who was defending her husband.

Is this true?

I received an offer.

So one of the top law firms in Korea

offered a job to an attorney

who had just lost a case
and specialized in family law?

I guess they saw something in me.

Did you know the respondent,
Seo Jeong-guk,

even before his divorce suit?

No.

Isn't that strange?

Sure, they might have
seen something in you,

but the timing is just too suspicious.

Are you failing to remain objective
since this concerns your sister?

Is it so strange that I got a job

at a company
I became acquainted with in court?

No.

I wouldn't say it's strange,
but it's suspicious.

Witness, you recently resigned
from Keumhwa Law Firm.

And as your severance pay,

you received a branch of a café franchise.

Yes.

Why was that?

What reason do I need
to get my severance pay?

Well, from what I found out,

the average severance pay
for Keumhwa attorneys

is far less than the value
of the café that you received.

What's more suspicious is

that you worked on much fewer cases

and had a far lower winning rate
than your colleagues.

So why the huge severance pay?

It just doesn't make sense.

Maybe that's why I got the café.

I wasn't as good as
they thought I would be,

yet I was getting paid every month.

And I didn't seem to be leaving
anytime soon.

"Let's give him a huge severance pay
and kick him out."

I guess that was it.

Is that so?

However, about that café
you received as your severance pay…

It has nothing to do
with the CEO of Keumhwa.

It was offered by the respondent,
Mr. Seo Jeong-guk.

Among the 450 branches that he owns,

you got the Gangnam branch.

Don't you think
that needs to be explained?

-Your Honor.
-I'll hear him.

Attorney Shin Sung-han.

You're an attorney yourself,
so stop playing dumb.

Witness, show some respect.

I mean, it's just so frustrating.

Don't you know Daenam is
one of Keumhwa's key clients?

Then what do you think about
Daenam's daughter-in-law

landing a PR director position at Keumhwa?

Everyone in this field knows about this.

Your Honor, there is no connection

between the witness
and Gi-yeong's custody.

Wrong. You think there's no connection?

He was the attorney
for his biological mother.

As soon as the divorce was finalized
and she lost her son's custody,

Attorney Park Yu-seok,
her divorce attorney,

was recruited by a big law firm
through her ex-husband's connections.

Does this sound natural to you?

Witness.

Witness.

I'm sure you already know
that perjury is a serious crime.

Let me ask you again.

Witness.

You were aware of Shin Ju-hwa's
psychiatric records from the US.

The biggest factor
in her losing the custody suit.

Weren't you?

I wasn't.

Attorney Shin.

You majored in classical music, correct?

Yes, that's correct.

I don't know much about classical music,

but I wanted to find a way
to get this tragic situation across.

So I looked up some examples.

Are you talking
about Beethoven and his nephew?

There you go.

He also fought for his custody.

Yes, and he won.

His nephew was not living
in a healthy environment.

That's one interpretation.

What I want to ask you is

if Beethoven and his nephew
lived a good life afterward.

What happened to them?

The nephew became a delinquent teenager,

repeatedly dropped out of school,

then attempted suicide
by shooting himself in the head.

You're focusing solely on the outcome.

I can't agree with such a generalization

based on a single person
from 200 years ago.

Yet the music from 200 years ago
still moves our hearts.

And that single person happens to be
a great classical musician.

You're a pianist yourself, right?

I think you have a lot in common with him.

What makes you so confident

that you can raise the child
better than his own father?

That is all.

A custody investigator will be sent
to the home of the petitioner.

His living environment
will be thoroughly inspected

and he will be interviewed

before the next trial.

-Hey, are you okay?
-He's obviously not okay.

Look at his face.

You should eat. How about chicken soup?

Guys, I'm sorry.

-I need to see a doctor.
-A doctor?

-Okay.
-Is it that bad?

With all the coffee and the all-nighters,
it's no wonder you got stomach cramps.

It's not that. It was the trial.

It was really tough.

You were outnumbered.

Take Attorney Choi with you next time.

Why can't the paralegal go in?

Stop yelling. You're embarrassing me.

Darn it.

DIVORCE ATTORNEY

Come in.

-Attorney Shin.
-Hey.

I threw an awesome breaking ball.

Really?

I laid out how things would go for them.

Are you sure they weren't lousy batters?

They weren't that easy.

They were willing to go all the way.

"Suspend our licenses. We'll take cabs."

"We don't have to go abroad."

"Go ahead and put a travel ban on us."

They weren't afraid of going to court.

How could she do this
when her child's life is at stake?

So?

How did you tell them it would go?

My breaking ball was turning it into
a dispute over the recipe.

The court won't be able to determine
who the recipe belongs to,

but once Jun-hui's story got out,

they'd lose customers.

She got scared.

You were right.

I put a leash on something
she was most desperate for,

and she gave in right away.

She'll pay 1.8 million won a month,

and she'll cough up
all the overdue payments.

Good work.

It's all thanks to you, the great--

I don't think so.

-Sorry?
-Well…

It's not just about finding a solution.

It's the way you executed that solution
that was impressive.

That's a compliment, right?

I'm wondering why I'm like this.

I'm reflecting on myself.

Right.

Okay.

I hope your café does well.

Sure.

I only just made the down payment.

But thanks anyway.

You won't be a lawyer anymore, right?

You don't want to start a firm,

and no one will hire you.

Is that so?

Testify for him.

You're the one…

who leaked Ju-hwa's medical history.

Please confess.

I looked into the Attorney-at-Law Act.

You'll get suspended
and fined for breaching it.

That will cover the fine.

What are you trying to do?

You can't be a lawyer anyway.

You'll be running a café.

Ju-hwa can't come back to us,
but Gi-yeong…

We've got to do something
to get him out of that place.

Goodness.

Your friendship is one of a kind.

Please, I'm asking you.

Ju-hwa never would have met you
if it hadn't been for me.

I didn't do it.

I don't have anything to confess.

Hey.

Both of you better call chauffeurs.

You can't sleep over.

I sold my… I mean, I didn't drive.

You're getting another car?

No, I didn't sell it.

Let him be. He loves cars.

Let him live his life.

I'm not buying another car.

Like I said, I'll buy a bicycle.

Like the poet from Il Postino.

Have you even written anything?

Why did you sell it?

Are you in debt?

Jeez.

You messed with crypto, didn't you?

Hey.

-Hey, we aren't in the mood for that.
-Look.

It's the money I got for the car.

Why are you carrying cash?

They didn't wire you the money?

It was for Park Yu-seok.

I was going to pay him.

Should I call a cab?

Should I

just get lost?

You know,

I don't know a lot about classical music,

but I did some research to cheer you up.

Rach…

Yes, Rachmaninoff. This guy.

He wrote this piece
after some really rough times.

You know that, right?

This guy…

He was going through hell.

But then he pushed beyond his limits

and put everything he had
into making this piece.

Just like Jeong-sik is giving
this everything he's got.

And I'll give it all I've got to help.

So try to stay strong.

So that

we can go beyond our limits.

You idiot.

Let's cry together.

Sung-han, I'm so sorry.

Damn it.

I'm not giving up on Gi-yeong's custody.

I'm…

I'm his dad.

No parent would give up
their parental rights.

How can you call yourself his dad?

What if you found out

what Jin Yeong-ju said to Ju-hwa
on the phone from Hawaii?

What if

you found out that call was
cruel enough to shake up Ju-hwa,

and that's why

she died in that accident?

Would you be okay with that?

As if…

nothing happened?

I don't even know that driver.

That phone call.

Has it never occurred to you
that I might have overheard it?

You're her brother. Do you know?

Why take things this far?

Because I need to save Gi-yeong.

I'm here doing this as his uncle.

You're supposed to be his dad.

Why do you live with your eyes closed?

You know what?

Even if I lose, I'll keep filing
the same suit over and over again.

I'll let Gi-yeong know he's not alone.

That someone out there
loves him with all his heart!

I'll make sure he knows that.

People laughed at me

when I said I wanted to quit the piano
and become an attorney.

They called me a lunatic.

They thought I had lost it.

But look.

I've already started.

-This is much better.
-Right?

That's why I bother
to go all the way there.

We should give some to those guys
while it's hot.

Hello.

-Hello.
-These are from down the street.

From that old gentleman's stall.

Try some. It's great.

-Thank you.
-For dessert.

-Come by often.
-Sure.

GRANDMA'S NOODLE SHOP

He keeps losing cases recently.

I told him to come by often.

I'm closing down the restaurant.

What? For good?

I'll decide if I'll open it again
after taking some time off.

I've always been working,
so I've never been to Europe.

Come to think of it,

I guess I've been there on business trips.

I'm going to go for a couple of months.

Sounds great.

Jeong-sik has been to Spain,

and Sung-han studied in Germany.

I've been too busy
trying to make ends meet as well.

Do you want to come?

Me?

You want to travel together
for two months?

Sounds great.

No pressure.

You can't suddenly drop everything
and fly off to Europe.

I was going to go alone anyway.

It's good.

I know you're stressed out.

I'm sorry for barging in.

It's okay. Don't worry.

It's my responsibility.

Attorney Shin.

Yes?

Thank you for winning
Seo-jin's custody suit

and giving her a job here

so that she can keep Hyeon-u with her.

I appreciate it.

I don't think you came here to say that.

Well…

I want her…

to come back on the radio.

I heard that things are
very tough for you right now.

Seo-jin said she should
stay and support you.

Director Jang managed
to secure the 4 p.m. slot,

but she says it's not the right time.

I sound so selfish.

No, not at all.

She should definitely make her comeback.

I won't…

I won't be okay until she comes back to…

I set her up with that guy.

She helped me get a job,

but I ended up…

-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.

To be honest, I'm an awful cook.

But I've been trying out
some recipes I found online.

The food doesn't taste so bad,

but it doesn't look as good.

When I made sweet and sour pork
for the first time,

I let my most beloved
family member have a taste.

I was really nervous when I set the table.

I still remember

how much he enjoyed it.

AREYOURLIPSSWEET: YOU SURE LIKE MEN.
ARE YOU TAKING A BREAK?

I'm sure all of you

have made something delicious

-This jerk.
-for someone you love.

IT'S OKAY IF YOU CAN'T COOK.
YOU'RE GOOD AT PUTTING OUT.

I SAW YOUR VIDEO.

I'LL COOK FOR YOU
IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

Just don't let the haters get you down.

That's my request.

Dear AreYourLipsSweet.

What a pathetic username.

You need to see this.

So you're a good cook?

What is it?

What are you good at in bed?

I bet you only know how to sleep in it.

Man, that's harsh.

Who'll ever date an asshole like you?

I feel bad for you,
so you'll be getting a coffee coupon.

Instead of writing
these comments with your fingers,

you can shove them up your ass,
AreYourLip-Shit.

Shall we move on to the next story?

JO JEONG-SIK REAL ESTATE

Do you think…

that jerk's fingers are up his ass?

Well, who cares?

I love your streams,

but when I get drowsy around 4 p.m.,

I wouldn't mind hearing your voice
on the radio.

Will you let me do that?

Support me from afar.

In your seat, in the radio booth,

being the awesome DJ you are.

That's where you belong.

The traffic should be getting better now.

Shall we?

About tomorrow…

Good luck.

Thanks.

And these stay…

right here.

Please.

IN SESSION

To have one's parental rights terminated,

there must have been authority abuse,
gross misconduct, child abuse,

or another significant reason
for termination.

One of these four reasons
must be apparent in the case.

Also, the said reason must
either have harmed or be likely to harm

the well-being of the child.

I want to know this.

Has the parent, Seo Jeong-guk,

ever abused his rights
or committed gross misconduct?

Has he abused his son?

Or is there a significant reason
that he can't maintain his rights?

Has he ever starved him?

Is the child not dressed?

Or is he not receiving
appropriate education?

He's been living with his stepmother
since his parents' divorce.

It is unfortunate indeed.

However, I would like to ask

if his father deserves to lose
his parental rights.

That is all.

Well, last time,

the respondent's counselor
mentioned Beethoven and his music.

"The music from 200 years ago
still moves our hearts."

Yes.

I couldn't agree with him more.

I'd like to ask how music…

No, not just music.

How paintings, architecture,
and other artistic creations

from 500 or even 1,000 years ago

still touch our hearts.

Emotions.

It's thanks to our emotions.

Emotions are

what have kept
those works alive to this day.

So what do emotions…

mean for children?

Can their emotions be developed
just from being fed?

Sufficient emotional support,

love, and comfort.

These are the things
that a child should be surrounded by.

Is the respondent's family
an emotionally safe place

for Gi-yeong?

Does your family provide

enough love and support for Gi-yeong?

Do you have to know?

Yes.

Your relationship with Yeong-ju
may be jeopardized.

Is that why you couldn't tell me?

Because I might leave her?

I'm not sure.

Ju-hwa's brother wanted to know too.

But I didn't tell him.

I thought it would be better
if I kept it from both of you.

I need to know what that call was about.

I need to know for Gi-yeong's sake.

This may sound out of place,

but I once heard

this metaphor for marriage.

Marriage is a union between a sea turtle

and a mountain rabbit
who decide to live together on the beach.

And divorce is when
they begin to miss their homes,

their seas and mountains,
after living together for a while,

and decide to part ways.

In that case,
what should be done for the child

born between these two?

Shouldn't we at least ask
if he prefers the sea or the mountain?

Shouldn't the child's opinion come first?

Please.

Just once.

Please try…

to think about…

how the child feels.

I ask of you.

Let me bear witness.

What are you talking about?

Whatever you say can be used against you.

Your Honor.

The petitioner's attorney asked

to question the respondent.

The respondent had initially refused,

but he just agreed to be questioned.

How did you obtain
Ms. Shin Ju-hwa's medical records

from when she was in the US?

I visited the hospital in New York
and obtained them myself.

Was Ms. Shin aware of this?

No, I made sure she didn't know.

We were still married then,

so I prepared
the necessary paperwork for it.

How did you first find out

about her medical records
and the hospital?

I was informed

by Ju-hwa's attorney, Park Yu-seok.

I see.

What if Gi-yeong

found out about this one day?

That his father did something like that…

to take his custody
from his biological mother.

Could you really say
the respondent's family

is a suitable environment…

for the petitioner to…

For Gi-yeong to grow up in?

That is all.

Decision.

The respondent's parental rights
over the petitioner shall be limited.

Among his parental rights
over the petitioner,

the rights to protect, educate,
designate residence, and discipline,

along with other rights
regarding his custody, shall be limited.

Regarding the rights to protect, educate,
designate residence, and discipline,

along with other rights
regarding his custody,

the court appoints Shin Sung-han
as the petitioner's guardian.

As his guardian,

Shin Sung-han has duties as follows.

First,

submit a guardian's report
at the end of every year.

Second,

cooperate actively to facilitate
the visitation of the respondent

with the petitioner.

However, the visitation will be…

Jang Guk-yeong,
why won't you eat these days?

You're not pooping well either.

Come here.

Lunchtime?

Come on.

So…

About your trip to Europe.

Have you booked the tickets?

Yes.

I'm coming with you.

Hold on.

Really?

Seo Gi-yeong!

Wake up.

Seo Gi-yeong, wake up.

Seo Gi-yeong, wake up.

Seo Gi-yeong.

Gi-yeong.

Wake up.

Time to get up, Gi-yeong.

Rise and shine.

Here we go.

You'll be late for school.

Come on.

Get up.

Come out.

Gi-yeong.

Hurry up.

Good boy.

Did you get the sandwich?

Of course.

Look.

Ham, cheese, eggs,

no tomatoes, no onions…

Must this old uncle of yours
go out at the break of dawn…

Do you know what "break of dawn" means?

I feel like I don't need to know.

Is that how you feel?

Uncle Sung-han.

When does your intermittent fasting end?

Why?

I always eat breakfast alone.

Then give me a bite.

Look at you go.

-Is it good?
-Yes.

Mr. Jang.

I'm so jealous.

Please be more jealous.

It's my first trip to Europe.

I envy Ms. Kim.

I guess it'll be just you and me
for a while, Ms. Yu.

Why don't we go for dinner
in the spirit of teamwork?

No, I have plans with my dog tonight.

Okay.

Mr. Jang, eat with me before you leave.

Is Gi-yeong doing well?

Yes, thanks to you.

That's good to hear.

So…

You're saying

you have to get divorced, correct?

You see,

this crown of mine is so heavy

that my discs are about to slip.

So please hurry it up.

-Goodness.
-This crown is way too heavy.

Yes, ma'am.

We're all ready, aren't we?

Of course.

Honey.

I think it's time…

we started talking to each other.

During the trial,

I suggested that if I testified,

my parental rights should be limited.

If my rights had been terminated,
you would've been happier.

It means Gi-yeong would be
gone forever from Daenam.

Let's live with the consequences
of our wrongdoings

as Ha-yul's mom and dad.

Let's just live quietly.

ATTORNEY PARK YU-SEOK

DIRECTOR JIN YEONG-JU

The number you are trying
to reach is currently unavailable.

You will be redirected
to voicemail after the beep.

You have to keep your end of the bargain.

The number you are trying to reach…

Why won't you pick up?

A charge will be incurred after the beep.

Jin Yeong-ju!

You little…

The number you are…

You…

Damn you!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Give me my café, damn it!

Give me my café!

Give me my café!

"Everyone has that one annoying friend."

"Do you have a friend like that too?"

"If you do, please tell me
what I should do with them."

There's always that one friend.

They're annoying.

I used to just let it go
when something like this happened.

But these days,
I choose not to meet that friend.

Why don't you make new friends?

They say it's hard to make
good friends when you get older…

but I think that depends on the person.

YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FRIEND…
YOUR VOICE IS SO SOOTHING.

I WAITED FOR SO LONG.
FORGET ABOUT THE HATERS.

SAE-BOM: YOU'RE THE BEST! I LOVE YOU.

I'll be back after
our producer's favorite part.

The commercials.

-Hey.
-Where are you?

-Why?
-Where are you? I'm bored!

Why do I have to tell you where I am?

Because your friend is asking!

What do you mean, why?

-Hey, Jeong-sik.
-Yes?

-Want to know something cool?
-What?

-It's about wine.
-Okay.

You can decant it with a paper cup.

I knew it! You're drinking!

Where are you? I'll be there!

I want to go!

Paper cup?

You're at a convenience store!
Stay right there, you--

When's your flight?
You start in Switzerland, right?

Tomorrow morning.

And you're out here drinking?

Yes.

Good grief.

Hey, don't go. How dare you?

You can stay here and drink wine with us.

What?

Guys.

The three of us need to get divorced too.

Otherwise, we'll all be screwed.

I love you.

I think

I do too.

You're drunk.

Come on.

Sung-han.

I can't drink this anymore. Time for soju.

-Are you in?
-I'm in.

Damn it, I'm leaving…

-I'm in.
-"I'm in."

Try that again. That was weird.

What is this? "I'm in!"

Use your finger.

Thank you.
