All language subtitles for The Divorce Lawyer in Love S01E12

Go Cheok-hee.

I’m Cha Yoo-ran.

Please help me get a divorce.

Who are you?

I’m someone who can help you
repay the debt you owe to the world.

I’ll take on your divorce case.

I have an interesting recording
in my possession,

about the truth you’re after.

Jo Min-gook is Jo Yoo-sang?

That’s my real name.

Your wife wants a divorce.

Pardon?

There’s only one condition.

Transfer ownership
of the house in Yangpyeong.

For Jo Yoo-sang’s longtime mistress,

it must be Han Mi-ri.

You said

you could obtain evidence
of your husband’s infidelity anytime.

They meet at the house
in Yangpyeong every weekend.

The Yangpyeong house?

Is anyone home?

[Episode 12]

Hey, kid.

Kick the ball to me.

Why are you playing by yourself here?

Just because.

Do you live here?

Yes.

What’s your name?

It’s Woo-ram.

Woo-ram?

Who are you?

I’m here to take a census.

By any chance, do you live here?

Yes.

The address says it belongs to Jo Min-gook.

Are you alone?

Are there other family members?

I don’t know anything.

Stop asking.

Please leave.

Let’s go!

Hurry!

What has happened?

Why is Go Cheok-hee in Yangpyeong?

Where are you?

Why aren’t you coming home?

Okay.

[Han Mi-ri]

I knew it.

It was Han Mi-ri.

What is this room?

Where were you?

What?

I told you not to go to the empty lot.

What are you doing here again?

The door was open...

That child just now...

Get out!

Get out before I call the police!

What the heck were you doing here?

Hurry and get out.

What’s going on?

Why were you coming out of this house?

There was a situation.

Han Mi-ri?

Does this place have to do with Han Mi-ri?

I need to find out some things.

Does the secret you couldn’t talk about
have to do with Han Mi-ri?

You’re right.

The cause

of President Ma Dong-gu’s suicide
that people know and the truth I know...

Between those, there's something else.

I want to find it and tell the world
that Ma Dong-gu’s death was unjust.

That way, I can repay the debt I owe
to his family.

[Certificate of all registrations]

[Owner: Jo Min-gook]

[Owner: Han Mi-ri]

Han Mi-ri gifted the Yangpyeong house
to Jo Yoo-sang, three years ago.

A house worth $500,000, at that.

That wouldn't happen,

unless they had a serious relationship
with each other.

[Jo Yoo-sang]

Hello?

This is Jo Yoo-sang.

The Yangpyeong house...

I'll give it to her.

Excuse me?

What made you change your mind so suddenly?

I thought about it
and my wife suffered a lot because of me.

But I haven’t done anything for her.

And she won’t have any means
to support herself in the future.

That Yangpyeong house...

I noticed you received it from Han Mi-ri.

Ah, that?

I helped her out in her time of difficulty.

It was given to me
as a token of appreciation.

What huge thing did you help her with

for her to give you a house worth $500,000?

I don’t see a reason
to tell you about my personal affairs.

Relay the message to my wife

and please settle the divorce
as soon as possible.

Let me ask you one more thing.

There was a child in that house.

Oh, a child?

You must be talking
about the housekeeper’s child.

I've told her many times
not to bring him along.

But what about him?

Never mind. I understand.

The housekeeper’s son?

I want a divorce!

[Family means sharing meals together]

It’s food.

Excuse me?

It’s food.

Are you saying you want a divorce
because of food?

Yes, that’s right.

That old man... The very first thing
he says to me every day is...

Feed me.

Feed me.

Feed me.

Is to feed him.

Three meals a day.

With at least 12 side dishes.

He refuses to eat food served for breakfast
for lunch or dinner.

There must be a soup and a different stew.

At his age, it’s not good
for his health to eat a lot of soup.

According
to Lee Je-ma’s four body type theory,

he says his body needs to eat both soup
and stew at the same time.

Three meals a day with 12 side dishes each,
what a chore

to plan the menu.

The exhaustion is driving me crazy!

So please help me get a divorce!

Have you talked to your husband about this?

Of course I have.

I did more than that.

I literally made a declaration.

Feed me.

Two meals a day. One soup, one bowl of rice,

and no more than five side dishes.

Any leftover soup will be served
at the next meal!

Unless you agree to that,
I will leave this house!

And this was his reply.

I don’t care if you leave.

Just make sure you make my food on time.

Did you marry me just so you could eat?

Of course that’s why people get married.

Who gets married so they can starve?

Family. What does it mean?

It means people who live together
and share meals together.

Stop talking nonsense and just feed me.

Give me my food!

How about giving him something simple
to make, like ramen?

I tried that.

He says he’ll die if he eats instant food.

Then what if you just left during meal times?

Like by going to a class reunion.

I tried.

He called me about 100 times
when it was time for him to eat,

so I just came home.

You can travel overseas.

You won’t be able to cook
if you’re over there.

We did!

He brought a rice cooker
all the way to Indonesia.

Maybe you’re too good of a cook.

How about making the food less tasty instead?

I put tons of MSG in the dishes on purpose.

Then?

He said it was delicious.

I’ve made 43,800 meals over 40 years.

Other women count the days
they’ve been married to their husbands.

But I’ve counted how many meals
I made for my husband.

So please help me get a divorce!

If it’s that bad, shouldn’t they divorce?

Her life will waste away
from cooking all that food.

Still, a homemaker's main job is
to keep up the household.

To divorce over this is...

Forcing your spouse
to do excessive housework could definitely

be a legitimate enough reason for divorce.

Even still, to divorce your spouse
over food is a bit...

Let’s do this instead.

Ms. Go, let’s meet the husband tomorrow
and try to persuade him.

I’m going too.

What? You’re personally going?

I can relate to that.

It’s my lifelong regret

that I didn’t tie my husband to the rice bin
before I divorced him.

Even if Jang Dong-geun wanted to marry me,

I would kick him to the curb
if I had to cook for him!

I’m going to personally obtain the evidence
and meet the husband.

Why is he so obsessed with food?

Isn’t it extreme
to make his wife suffer like this?

But I sort of understand
how Park Man-jo feels.

My lifelong wish

is to have my whole family come together
and share a meal.

Here, eat.

- It’s good!
- Is it tasty?

Delicious, right?

It would be nice to come here
with your mother next time.

Really?

Family comes from living and eating together.

If we eat together,

she might grow fond of me
like in a real family.

[Mi-hwa]

Hello?

What did you say?

Okay, I’ll be right there.

Why? Did something happen at home?

I’m sorry, but I have to stop by my house
for a bit.

What about the movie?

We still have some time, right?

Yes.

Then wait for me at the movie theater.
I’ll be right back.

Okay.

Soo-ah, if you care for me at all,
you won't do this.

It’s weird for me to keep living here, Aunt.

What are you doing?

You try stopping her!

She says she’s moving out.

Soo-ah.

Someone once told me I look pitiful
for sticking so close to you.

That it’s okay to go away
if it’s too hard to bear.

Goodbye, Aunt.

Soo-ah.

Hey, Soo-ah.

Are you just going to stand there and watch?

Stay.

This is your home, too.

Let go,
unless you’re going to hold onto me forever.

I’m sorry, Aunt.

I’ll call you.

Soo-ah.

Soo-ah!

Did she tell you to send Soo-ah away?

You know she didn’t.

Soo-ah may mean nothing to you.

But she’s a daughter to me!

I know you’re upset.

I’m worried about her too.

Then go and get her!

If you want me to bring back Soo-ah, I will.

But don’t think that means she has my heart.

What?

I already told you.

My heart belongs to someone else.

Just because my feet are stuck here,
it doesn’t mean my heart is stuck too.

Don’t you feel sorry to Soo-ah?

I’m sorry! I am.

But I can’t love her
just because I feel sorry!

How on earth. Both husband and son!

Your father said the same thing
when he left me.

I’m hearing those exact words again
from my child’s mouth!

If your heart is breaking because of Soo-ah,

then I will leave instead.

What did you say?

She left
because I make her feel uncomfortable.

How can we live together peacefully?

I should leave you for the time being.

Fine, get out! All of you, get out!

I’ll just stay by myself, so get out!

Where are you?

Why aren’t you coming?

I’m sorry.

I don’t think I can make it.

What should we do?

Did something happen at home?

I saw your mother called earlier.

Is it because of me?

No, it’s not at all.

Really?

Really.

Let’s watch the movie another time.

I’m really sorry.

It’s fine.

Okay.

Who is it?

Room service.

I didn’t order it.

You did, miss.

Please excuse me.

I wonder who it was.

It’s me.

Lawyer Bong.

Does it hurt?

Why would it?

Maybe a little.

Dr. Kim says there’s no medicine
for this illness.

So eat. Eat and get your strength back.

Okay, I will.

Wait.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

If you don’t mind, I’m just going to try one.

Did you make all this yourself?

Do I need to say it?

Bulgogi, stir fried pork, grilled pollack,

steamed fish, glass noodles, soft tofu stew,
braised tofu, leaf mustard kimchi,

lettuce kimchi, zucchini pancakes,
seasoned wild garlic greens.

And beef short rib soup.

This is a simple meal with 12 side dishes.

This is... A simple meal?

Yes.

Even with this much, I’m sure he’ll scold me.

Just wait and see.

Honey. Feed me--

You’re a lawyer?

Yes, sir. Your wife wants a divorce.

But to divorce over food is a bit...

How about if you two come
to some sort of compromise?

Woman, you’ve been spoiled.

No, she's been in a lot of pain, not spoiled.

I hear you haven’t skipped a single meal
in 40 years.

Some women prepare meals
for their deceased husbands

every day.

What’s the big deal about setting the table
for 40 years?

She may be your wife,
but she’s not obligated to make your meals.

Rather, forcing excessive household chores
can be a reason for divorce.

A divorce over food?

I can’t do that.

So stop being ridiculous.

Now, enjoy the meal before you leave.

Where's the soup?

Here.

Eat your heart out.

Okay, let’s eat.

The table looks too empty.

And you brought over guests too.

There aren't enough side dishes.

What more can I make?

Among the land, sea and air,
the air is missing!

You should’ve made some boiled chicken
or slaughtered a pheasant!

You’re so lazy.

And the pollock over there.

Sweet and sour sauce is much better
than steaming it.

From now on, make it sweet and crispy!

No, it’s too hard to make! I can’t do it.

What do you mean "it’s hard"?

It's hard for a man
who works outside for a living!

What’s so hard for a woman cooking at home?

Isn’t that so, Lawyer?

In the old days, women cooked,

took care of children
and worked in the fields!

What’s so hard about cooking at home?

Your words are too harsh.

You should consider your wife’s hardships
and efforts too.

From morning up to now, a total of ten hours.

Here’s the evidence

of you forcing Jang Geum-hee
to do excessive housework.

This is a picture of Jang Geum-hee
preparing food all day from 5 a.m.

And this is a recording file.

With all this, we can show abundant grounds
for divorce.

Jang Geum-hee, shall we go file a complaint?

Really?

Then can I stop cooking now?

I won’t do it!

I won't divorce!

Well, I have to divorce you.

I cannot live as a human rice cooker anymore!

Hire someone to cook for you
and have a great life with your beloved food!

Let go! What’s the matter with you?

This... May just look like food to you.

But it’s not to me.

What do you mean?

Do you know what kind of food I ate
while growing up?

My stepmother gave me barley
while my little brother ate white rice.

While he got

eggs in his lunch box,
mine only had pickles.

On his birthday, she always

laid out a full spread for my brother
and had his friends over.

But on my birthday,

she never once made a meal for me.

In the psychology of married men,
there’s occasionally an obsession with food.

As they look at a meal made solely for them,

they seek to confirm they are loved
and respected by their wives.

Chief, how do you know that?

I’m a certified marriage counselor.

You’re right!

Whenever I see her make three meals
a day for me,

I feel secure that I’m loved, too.

Your story is touching
but I just can’t cook for you any longer.

Do you really have to divorce me?

I have to cook every day if I don’t!

How about you two try it this way?

Drawing up a contract
over food is a first for me though...

S-So why is this necessary?

Food. Do you want to starve?

If you divorce,

you won’t even get a single meal out of her.

What did you just say?

I won’t be able to eat?

How will you eat when your wife is gone?

Park Man-jo, it's better to agree
to have 5 side dishes per meal,

rather than losing out on
eating for the rest of your life.

Park Man-jo.

Yes?

Please answer yes or no.

Can you eat only two meals a day at home?

What are you talking about?

Please answer.

Can you eat only two meals a day?

Yes.

Will you be okay
with no more than 5 side dishes?

Yes.

Do you agree to eat leftover food
at the next meal?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Then please sign the contract.

Any objections?

This contract is now a solid piece
of evidence

Jang Geum-hee can use to request a divorce
if she so wishes.

So please do your best
to comply with the contract.

Park Man-jo, please love me more
than a bowl of soup from now on.

Yes, I understand!

I’m on my way right now!

Make sure to stay there.

Sir!

CEO.

Where are you going, sir?

I....Well...

Where is she?

Mi-hee!

You brat!

As if it wasn't enough to sell off my store,
what are you doing here?

What’s the matter with you?

You’re annoying me!

Officer, thank you.

What’s going on?

This server swung a baseball bat
at this customer’s car.

There's some damage.

This scoundrel has completely lost her wits.

What?

Who cursed me as a motherless wretch first?

Am I supposed to watch my words

to a server
when I’m drinking a $1,000 bottle of liquor?

Do you know what kind of car I have?

It’s a Lamborghini. A Lamborghini!

The repair fee alone is the cost
of a domestic car!

Y-Your car is really that expensive?

Apologize right now.

Why should I?

Why should I apologize to that rude man?

You won’t?

Fine, then I'll get an estimate
for the repairs and send it to you tomorrow.

Let’s see how you like that!

- You can’t do that.
- What?

Why would you risk trouble
and drive a repaired car?

What if a safety issue occurs?

Then you’ll blame this young lady
again, won’t you?

What did you say?

Buy a new one, so you two never have
to see each other again.

You rotten brat!

Stay right here and don’t even think
about leaving! Got it?

Sir, please don’t tell Cheok-hee
I paid the settlement money.

Please.

How could I not?

You did us a favor.

We need to repay you.

Not at all, sir. Just make me another bowl
of eel stew again later.

T-That’s nothing special...

It’s enough for me.

Please go inside.

Mi-hee!

When did you get here?

Where have you been?

It’s a long story.

Min-gyu, why are you here?

I met them in the elevator.

Please excuse me then.

Sure.

You brat.

You can eat like that
after selling off your father’s store?

She sold the store?

Is that why you came to Seoul?

The store was the size of a button hole.
I didn't get much for it.

The money was gone fast.

W-What?

Cheok-hee, what do we do
about this girl with no fear?

I think she used the money to gamble.

Mi-hee, why did you do that?

You know how much Dad treasured that store.

What have you been doing this whole time?

I guess she was working

at some bar as a server
after she ran out of money.

Quit that job and come live with us, okay?

Answer your sister when she asks!

Come on, I’m eating!

Someone once said that family

is people who live together
and share meals together.

It’s been so long
since our family was together.

Let’s have a barbecue tomorrow.

How does pork belly sound?

Oh my goodness.

There’s nothing here to make a meal.

Do you have a rice cooker?

Come on. Around here, there are 5 restaurants

that are much more expensive than yours.

Is the food the same as mine?

Good food is when your whole family gathers
around a table

and shares a meal together.

That’s a meal.

True. I’ve been craving rice
with your cucumber kimchi lately.

It’s probably ready to eat now, right?

How can that fiend even stop you

from eating my cucumber kimchi?

How about Jung-woo?

Is he doing well?

Why worry about that jerk?

Who cares if he’s doing well or not?

You should go now.

I have to get to work too.

Come over and eat.

I’d rather have
that cucumber kimchi shrivel up,

than give it to anyone else but you.

Thank you. Thank you, Aunt.

Is this the law firm?

Hello.

Jeez. I thought only
rich ladies did things like this.

It’s okay.

Please say what you want.

I... Came here to forgive you.

Excuse me?

Really?

When you threw a bowl

of seaweed soup
in Jung-woo’s face 3 years ago,

I regretted that I wasn’t able
to pay you back the same way.

Since I threw a soup at you
several days ago, let’s call it even.

Thank you. Thank you!

However, I may forgive you
but I can’t accept you.

I... Like Lawyer So very much.

You know Jo Soo-ah who lives with us, right?

Yes.

When you fired Jung-woo
after throwing the soup at him,

it was Soo-ah who paid for his law school.

Excuse me?

The person who turned Jung-woo
into a lawyer was Soo-ah.

She was the one.

I lived my life thinking
that Soo-ah was Jung-woo’s mate for life.

Well, money is one thing.

But she sold her house
to pay for Jung-woo’s school.

How sweet is that?

For Soo-ah’s sake, I can’t be fond of you.

I’m not sure if you know this.

Jung-woo’s father left us
when he was in the 5th grade.

We only had each other in this world.

Just us two.

But after meeting you,
he talked about moving out.

Please don’t come
between Jung-woo and me any longer.

You may take his heart
and even take away his friend of 26 years.

But you shouldn’t take his own mother away
from him.

You must have a mother too!

You’re an intelligent person.

I’m sure you understand what I’m saying.

Think of today
as the last time we see each other.

Goodbye.

Why am I so hungry today?

I guess work was tough.

Should we eat pizza? Or spaghetti?

Don’t women like that kind of stuff?

What’s wrong?

Is my girlfriend feeling sick today?

No, I’m just a little tired.

[Mi-hwa]

Why aren’t you answering your mom’s call?

Why is she calling me so much today?

I’m sure it’s nothing.

She’s probably going to ask
if I’m going to eat before I come home.

You should still answer it.

What if it’s urgent?

Come on, don’t worry about it.

If it was urgent, she would text
or leave a voice message.

I’m sorry.

I just remembered I’m eating dinner
with my family today.

Really?

You have some free time today.

Go home and eat with your mother, okay?

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

It’s burning. Hurry and eat it.

What's this?

The barbecue was her idea. What the heck?

It’s nothing. Eat.

It’s been so long
since our family shared a meal like this.

Family"?

Hearing that from you makes me want to puke.

Hey, Go Mi-hee! Stop drinking!

How can you be so proud
when you lost all my money?

So what if I sold that stupid store?

That villain took my mom away from me.

If only you hadn’t used mom’s surgery money
to pay for your tuition,

our mom wouldn’t have died like that!

Stop it already!

Saying that is not going
to bring your mother back!

I’m saying this
because I know she’s not coming back!

Don’t use disgusting words like "big sister"

or "family" to me.

You’re not family to me.

Until the day I die, you’ll always be

the witch who took my mom away from me.

H-Hey, you brat!

I can’t believe her!

Give a glass too.

Mi-hee resents me so much.

Don’t you think Mom resented me too?

Don’t say that.

Your mother passed away with a smile.

She gave her child the chance
to study what she wanted.

What’s so sad about that?
Why would she resent you?

Come to think of it,

Mom didn’t shed a single tear
when she gave me the surgery money.

There’s only one reason a parent cries
in front of their children.

When someone else takes their baby
away from them.

Besides that, there’s no need
to shed tears or be upset.

So Cheok-hee, shake off that burden now.

It’s time for you to let it go.

You shouldn’t take his own mother away
from him.

You’re not family to me.

Until the day I die, you’ll always be
the witch who took my mom away from me.

Here, eat, eat.

You’ve been really down lately.

I’m fine. Let’s eat.

You’re so pretty when you eat.

No, it’s okay.

It’s okay. Say "ah."

It’s okay.

Just eat it.

Mi-hwa.

I thought you were a smart young lady.

Did you not understand me?

I’m sorry.

If an elder sought you out
and said she never wanted to see you again,

you should have understood that.

Sought you out?

Mom, did you seek this woman out?

Why did you seek her out
without telling me first?

How dare you raise your voice?

I told you, no matter what you say,
I’m not going to change my mind.

You can’t force a person’s heart!

Fine. If you want to see her, go ahead.

It’s like you can’t meet her
because your mother is against it.

If you want to see her, see her.

If you want to date her, go ahead!

In exchange, don’t think about seeing me.

What?

You said you can’t force the heart.

Then you shouldn’t force your feelings
on me either.

Ma'am.

Don’t worry about me
and do whatever you want.

Are you seriously going to do this?

If it’s easier not to see your mother,
then go ahead and do that!

Let’s talk about this at home later.

I’m sorry.

Let’s go.

So Jung-woo!

Come out.

So Jung-woo. Let go. I said let go!

I’m sorry, I can’t let go.

There’s only one reason a parent cries
in front of their children.

When someone else takes their baby
away from them.

So Jung-woo.

Yes?

I told you this before.

If your mother is against us dating,
I’m not going to see you.

I took our mother away

from my little sister
and had that wound my whole life.

So I never want to give that kind of pain
to anyone ever again.

What are you trying to say?

Today... It felt like I took you
away from your mother.

Don’t be ridiculous.

I’ll bring my mom around.

Trust me and wait a little longer.

It’s not because I don’t trust you.

I don’t think I can handle it.

I think we...

Don’t do it.

So Jung-woo...

I said, don’t!

"It hurts." "It’s hard."
If that’s what you want to say, go ahead.

I can take that, but...

Don’t say those other words.

You know how hard and difficult
it was before.

I finally have you by my side!

But over something like this--

No. Don’t say it.

You can’t ruin one person’s life
to save another person’s life.

That’s what you’ve always said.

We can’t hurt someone else
just so we could be happy.

I said, don’t do it!

I’m sorry.

Let’s end it.

Between you and me, there’s no end.

I’m going to go.

So Jung-woo.

See you tomorrow.

So Jung-woo!

Who is this?

I’m not fully awake,

but the person standing here looks
like Go Cheok-hee.

It’s me.

Go Cheok-hee, what brings you to my house
early in the morning?

Can I take some time off?

Time off?

Did the words "time off" come
out of your mouth?

You hate time off more
than working overnight.

Did you eat ramen last night?

What’s wrong with your face?

No way. Did something happen
between you and Lawyer So?

No, nothing happened.

I’m just not feeling well.

I want to go somewhere
for several days and get some fresh air.

Go ahead then.

Thanks.

Ah, you know our office owns a condo?

A condo?

Tell Chief Yoon
and she’ll make a reservation for you.

Go there if you need a place to rest.

Okay. Thanks.

Good morning, sir.

How about dinner with the staff later?

I'll ask them.

And Ms. Go will join us too?

I’ll ask her.

He doesn’t know she took time off.

Welcome back, CEO Bong!

We haven’t heard from you,

so I expected you to be back after summer.

Nothing happened while I was away, right?

No, sir.

Please continue.

CEO.

You hardly came by.

So I locked the door to keep the dust out.

I see.

Chief Yoon, did you reserve a condo
for Ms. Go?

Yes.

I reserved the healing condo for her.

Please unlock the door.

Was this desk always here?

[Lee Ha-jung]

Keep it short.

I don’t want to talk long with you either.

You forgot we're signing
on the wedding hall today, didn’t you?

Get here in 30 minutes.

My patience is at rock bottom.

Fine.

Roberto?

I miss you too.

Korea?

It’s fun, but I want to go
to Italy and play with you.

Bong Min-gyu!

Did Ms. Go go somewhere?

She’s on vacation.

Vacation?

Cheok-hee on vacation?

I can’t believe my ears.

The CEO said

we can use our vacation time
if there are no clients this week.

Please tell the CEO in advance
if you decide to use it.

I can also reserve the company condo
for you as well.

Then I’m going to play
with my friends at the condo!

Can I tag along... Okay.

[My man]

[Healing condo’s free osso bucco event
for the brokenhearted]

[Free osso bucco event]

Sir, 200 people have already eaten for free.

Here’s my card.

If the guest from Room 701 comes,
please lead her to this table.

Yes, sir.

[Free osso bucco event]

- Please sit here.
- Yes.

Fork, you little...

Go Cheok-hee, you...

Min-gyu!

You said you were going on vacation.

But you came here?

What brings you here?

You know I spend more time here
than in the office.

By the way, how about joining me?

It’s weird eating
with our backs turned to each other.

Okay.

But why is the restaurant doing this kind
of event?

Osso bucco is quite expensive.

The event here is a little unique.

Like me.

[My man]

Where on earth did she go?

Shall we order a glass of wine too?

It’s okay.

It’s best if I don’t drink.

[So Jung-woo]

Why is So Jung-woo calling me?

Yes?

If there isn’t anything going on
at the office,

I’d like to take some time off.

Sure. At your convenience.

[Father]

Go Cheok-hee?
