(In session)

(Plaintiff)

What are your positions on custody?

As the mother, my client should have custody.

The public is very interested in this case,

so to speed up the proceedings,

I hope to decide who gets custody without an argument here today.

Ms. Han.

What are you talking about?

(Defendant)

The defendant cares most about custody.

The absolute time and effort put into caring for the child...

as well as attachment...

is in my client's favor, Your Honor.

I understand. Please sit.

What does the plaintiff say?

Plaintiff?

Yes, Your Honor.

- I just can't do it. - My gosh.

What kind of mom says that?

I raised our kids so far.

It's only right you raise them now!

- No way. - Your Honor.

It's way too hard on me.

I can't look after the kids anymore.

The mother should raise the child, Your Honor.

The defendant left home many months ago,

and the child in question...

is living just fine with the plaintiff now.

A pubescent girl should be raised by her mother.

She's not a young child.

She has opinions of her own.

And whether she's doing well or not is...

for the court-appointed family investigator to find out.

The defendant...

had an affair with someone the child in question knows.

If the defendant were to get custody,

the defendant's affair partner and my daughter Jae Hui...

The child in question...

That will do.

Since you can't decide who gets custody,

I'll send out an investigator.

Your Honor.

My client, the plaintiff must get custody.

The whole nation is watching.

The defendant raised her so far,

so the defendant should get custody.

That's the law.

Mom.

- Hey. - Hi.

- Hey. - Kids.

- Let's play with dinosaurs. - Yes.

- Come here. - Play with Uncle.

- Come and play. - Let's play with this.

Are our kids parcels?

To leave them by the door?

Not that again. Guys, let's go.

- Yes. - Okay.

You're trash.

Why did you want kids if you don't want to be responsible?

Do you think you deserve to be a mom?

What?

I feel sorry for them for having you as a mom.

How dare you say that when you're a useless dad?

What have you done since our younger was born?

- What have you done? - What did you do?

Darn it. Will you just stop?

Ms. Cha.

I'm a fan of yours.

Please help me.

- Mom. - Mom.

Let's play.

I'm sorry.

I'm distracted...

because I'm here as a client myself today.

Oh, right.

Stay strong. I'm rooting for you.

- Let's go. - Let's go home.

- Let's go home. - Take her case immediately.

- Let's go. - Mom.

Okay.

Wait.

If...

you need a consultation, come to our law firm.

Here's my business card.

- Let's go. - I'll call.

- Thank you. - Let's go home.

- Mom. - Let's go home.

Let's go.

- Hello? - Ms. Cha.

Is Jae Hui with you?

What do you mean?

Is she not at school?

I'm sorry.

I haven't seen her since her after-school class.

Did you take Jae Hui?

What do you mean? She isn't at school?

Just answer the question.

Cha Eun Kyung.

Are you insane? You can't even watch a kid?

What about her friends' moms? Did you call them?

You don't have any of their numbers, do you?

I didn't call to listen to you criticize me.

Send me any numbers you have.

Ms. Cha.

I can't find Jae Hui, and she's not answering her phone.

Do you know...

- sixth-grader Kim Jae Hui? - No.

Do you know Kim Jae Hui?

- No. - No.

(Haejin Language School)

- Hello. - Is Kim Jae Hui...

in the advanced class here?

Not today.

Kids, did you see Kim Jae Hui?

- No. - No.

- Was Jae Hui here today? - No.

Guys. Did you see Kim Jae Hui?

- No. - No.

Did you see Kim Jae Hui?

- No. - No.

Okay.

(Create new message.)

(Secretary Choi Sa Ra)

I'm with Jae Hui.

Choi Sa Ra!

What do you think you're doing?

Jae Hui.

Your mom's here.

Jae Hui.

Will you wait for me outside?

I'm sorry.

You decided to stoop this low?

She's not an object.

Do you think I'll let you get away with this?

(Dad)

(Secretary Choi Sa Ra: Attached photo)

I'm with Mom. Let's talk later.

Jae Hui.

Can you explain what happened?

Aunt Sa Ra had been asking to meet for a few days.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Did Aunt Sa Ra come to your school?

Yes. She wanted to talk.

So you followed her here?

You avoided me when I wanted to talk.

Dad's affair partner.

It's Aunt Sa Ra, isn't it?

Did you see the news?

I wanted to tell you myself.

It's not Aunt Sa Ra.

I'm not a child.

I knew you'd say it wasn't her.

It really isn't.

Who will I live with?

Nothing will change.

You can stay with me in our old home...

and see your dad on the weekends.

Let's go.

Let's play outside.

- Come here. - Let's go.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Sure. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Guys. What should we play with?

He left the boys by the door without a guardian?

Yes, he did.

(Wooju Taekwondo)

He has no right to be a dad.

- Mom. - He sent this.

"I'm leaving the kids outside. Open the door."

Just this one text.

As if he were dropping off a parcel.

Did you mention this in court?

I had no counsel,

so I was too nervous to say anything.

Everyone says I need proof if I want to bring up anything.

That's why I'm hiring you now.

Why on earth did he leave the kids outside?

He's always hanging out with friends filming YouTube videos...

and drinking, calling that a meeting.

It was just so he could go drinking?

Drink is his family and life.

No, it's his whole life.

And you're saying you'll give someone like that custody?

It could put the kids in danger.

What did I do to deserve this life?

Since they have a loser for a dad,

must I care for them for the rest of my life?

Why should I suffer when he failed to provide for his family?

So you'll let your kids live with a man like that?

Please...

get me out of this pit of torment.

That's why I scraped together all I had to hire you.

- Mom. - Let's go home.

- Let's go. - Let's go home.

- Okay, go. - You can go home.

- Come here. - Let's go.

- Hello, Ms. Cha. - Hello.

Hello.

How did the consult go?

I've seen lots of couples...

fighting to win custody,

but a couple where neither wants the kids...

It's a first.

Such couples are on the increase.

Living expenses and housing prices are going up,

and it's harder to raise kids.

The kids will be neglected if they're sent to their dad.

I say this all the time,

but push what you think aside.

Our client wants her husband to take the kids,

so we must find a way.

Test the waters at the next hearing.

I will.

By the way, where did you go earlier?

Sa Ra took Jae Hui from her school.

- I went to get her back. - What? What the...

Did you call the police?

Jae Hui told me she wasn't coerced.

She knows Sa Ra already.

Then Sa Ra tricked her.

That's kidnapping a minor.

Goodness.

She knows a bit about the law.

She even texted me that she was with Jae Hui.

Will you let them off?

He moved out without Jae Hui,

and he didn't mention custody much,

so I thought this was just a formality.

It looks like Ji Sang is actually thinking of taking Jae Hui.

Because Sa Ra said...

she wanted you to divide the assets and settle quick,

I didn't think there would be a custody battle.

But today's hearing tells me...

custody was the main argument.

Don't worry about it.

She's too old to be taken against her will or hidden away.

All kids say...

they want to live with their moms when asked.

As a mom,

I was often absent.

No, I was mostly absent.

So I'm not confident...

Jae Hui will choose me.

(Case 06: Qualifications to Be a Parent)

If the kid means that much, you must get her moved in.

Find a place to live with her first.

You must create a home she'll want to live in...

before meeting the family investigator...

to make her say she wants to live with you.

(Silver Real Estate Agent)

Gosh.

How much do you think all this cost?

Isn't Ms. Cha incredible?

She is. She's just so cool.

She appreciates we work overtime because of the tabloids,

and left us her credit card to order what we wanted.

She's a true GOAT.

- She is. - She's amazing.

Shouldn't a woman who's getting divorced...

because her husband cheated look pitiful?

- Yes. - Exactly.

How does she get more awesome each day?

Right, Ms. Choi?

Yes. She's awesome.

How could a guy cheat on someone like her?

Not only is she a competent woman, she's beautiful too, isn't she?

- Yes. - She's my ideal type.

They say men cheat because they found a new catch,

not necessarily because they're prettier.

Darn it.

Why can't we prosecute people for having an affair anymore?

I didn't think Kim Ji Sang was like that.

Don't you think the gentlemanly type is even worse?

The tabloids say his affair partner is a secretary here.

Don't you think the CEO should...

gather them all for a grilling?

- Yes. - I agree.

- That would be fun. - I think so too.

- I'd like that. - I'm all for it.

- Something should happen. - It's not right.

Don't you know that's against the law?

You all work at a law firm.

Promotion season's coming up.

Let's all be careful.

Since we're on the topic,

let's say you had an affair with your boss' husband.

Would you stay or quit?

- I'd leave. - Me too.

- Who would stay? - That's just wrong.

- It's humiliating. - No one can bear to stay.

What does love have to do with work?

She's right.

Work should be kept separate from our private lives.

I have work to do. Excuse me.

You barely ate.

Did you have to bring that up?

She went red. It's her, isn't it?

- I think so. - There's no way it's her.

It's definitely her.

I said "affair," and she said "love."

How disgusting.

- Don't be like that. - Get her new chopsticks.

- Forget about it. - Let's finish lunch.

(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)

(Performance Review Table)

(Name: Choi Sa Ra, Divorce Team 1, Seeking Position: Chief Manager)

(Cha Eun Kyung)

How does it feel to sit in my chair?

Well,

does it feel like you have it all now?

So...

what did you and my daughter talk about at the cafe?

Don't give me any nonsense.

It was about nothing.

Jae Hui asked me about my relationship with her dad.

I told her we were friends.

I told her to take good care of you for the time being.

What is this nonsense?

What right did you have?

I care deeply about Jae Hui too.

So I also think that daughters should be raised by their mothers.

I see.

That's where you guys must have disagreed.

It seems that you and I see eye to eye on things regarding this.

What is it that you want to tell me?

People in the office indirectly criticized me during lunch.

Please settle.

He's the father of your daughter.

Why?

Now that the promotion evaluation is around the corner,

are you scared that you might be exposed?

Why should I do that for you?

If you agree to divide the assets quickly,

I'll persuade Director Kim...

and finalize the lawsuit, so Jae Hui lives with you.

I can get that done.

You threw this "office husband" scandal at me,

but your blackmailing tactic didn't work.

So you want to cut a deal with Jae Hui?

You picked the wrong person to mess with.

Let's be honest. He wasn't the only one at fault in this marriage.

- What? - You provided cause for it.

What's next after this argument?

Will you tell me I did a poor job of keeping my husband on a leash?

Talk about cliches from mistresses, Choi Sa Ra.

Don't just get angry at me.

Please take what I said into consideration.

(In session)

Your Honor.

The plaintiff and defendant both agreed to divorce.

They don't have any assets to divide.

- The custody issue only remains... - Your Honor.

My client does not want to divorce his wife.

What?

Why did you change your stance the moment you hired an attorney?

You agreed to divorce at our last hearing!

Please.

Sit down.

He said some things he didn't mean...

without proper representation.

The defendant does not wish to divorce his wife...

since they have two young children.

Are you seriously doing this to me?

Plaintiff, please be quiet.

The written complaint says the defendant's alcoholism...

is making it difficult for you to maintain this marriage.

But I don't see any evidence.

Now that this divorce case is without the defendant's consent,

the evidence is insufficient for me to make a ruling in this case.

Ms. Han.

It's okay.

Your Honor.

We can provide grounds for divorce.

We will gather and present evidence demonstrating...

the defendant's fault in the marriage at the next hearing.

Why do you think he suddenly doesn't want to divorce her?

It might be because he will be obligated...

to pay child support once they get a divorce.

He's not earning any money for now.

He just goes out and drinks with his friends.

I doubt that's the only reason.

Once he withdraws his consent to divorce,

what's the next step we must take?

We must provide grounds for divorce.

That's what your opposing counsel is going after.

He wants us to fully commit to providing grounds for divorce.

In order to provide grounds for divorce,

if we submit his treatment record for alcohol dependence,

their next-door neighbor's statement,

and similar pieces of evidence,

we will be basically proving the defendant isn't a good father.

That's right.

Remember the sense of shock you felt...

during your consultation with the client?

And you're saying you'll give someone like that custody?

So you'll let your kids live with a man like that?

"She'll let him raise their children?"

He wants the judge to experience the same thing.

She will be able to divorce him because he provided the cause.

But she will end up with custody of her children.

That's what the defendant's counsel was after.

He wanted to make sure that my client would be granted...

custody before the divorce.

Right.

Don't prove he's at fault.

What?

But if I don't,

the divorce won't go through due to a lack of evidence.

Do you think the plaintiff wants to be divorced...

and have sole custody of their children?

If you paid attention during the consultation,

you know that's not the future she wants.

Please...

get me out of this pit of torment.

Kids.

Stop that.

What?

Don't touch them.

Come here.

Sit down.

Watch the car games.

- Gosh, look at that. - I'm so sick of this.

Look at the arrow.

This has been my life for the past five years.

I can neither sleep nor eat.

Well,

I know this must be very difficult on you.

Do you believe you'll be at peace after sending your children...

to a father who's unfit to raise them?

Why don't we prove he's at fault and go through with the divorce,

so you can get alimony?

That way, you can raise them yourselves.

Try it.

I don't care if you think I'm a bad mother.

I want to live like a human being even if it's for a day.

Look at this. Cool, right?

Hey! You guys!

I told you to stop, didn't I?

I told you to stop!

Why won't you listen to me?

Why won't you listen...

I'm sorry for yelling at you.

Mommy...

is tired too.

I just feel suffocated.

Have you ever helped her brush her teeth before she went to bed?

Did you stop taking care of your daughter...

after your one-year maternity leave?

How come you expect me to take care of everything?

You don't even behave like a mother.

Is it such a disaster that you're taking on more responsibilities?

Must we divide everything right down the middle?

- But I'm doing everything! - What? How...

Hey. You...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's all Mommy's fault.

If I do that, do you think I'll have a shot?

Even if we do this, you may end up with custody.

But if we play this by the book,

there's a 99 percent chance that you will be the custodial parent.

Isn't it worth a try?

But if we try this and it doesn't pan out as we want,

the kids might end up getting hurt.

Are you sure this is the best option she has?

I've been a longtime fan of yours.

I'll do as you say.

I'm a mom.

I'm home.

Go to your room and sleep.

Jae Hui. Come here.

I can't do this anymore.

Jae Hui cried to sleep again.

She rarely gets to see you on a daily basis.

- How do you call yourself a mother? - Gosh. How could you say that?

You thought this was the best for your children, right?

I know what it's like.

I'm a mom too.

- Jae Hui. - What will you do after that?

Me?

- I'll see you later. - Bye.

- Bye, Jae Hui. - Bye.

- Give that to me. - It's okay.

You were gone for a long time for the symposium.

You must have gone to Argentina.

So you remember. That's the farthest country from Korea.

I told you that when you were about nine.

You have a great memory.

Right. I do have a great memory.

Did you text your mom that you would be with me?

No.

The academy will probably text her soon...

that I was absent.

I see.

Get in.

It's nothing serious. Jae Hui will take a day off today.

Yes. You don't need to call her mother.

Okay.

Where are we going?

There's something I want to do with you.

Come in.

Gosh.

It's a mess, isn't it?

Will you live here after the divorce?

In case you didn't know about it,

I came up with...

dozens of excuses to tell you.

But you caught me off guard.

You want us to live here?

The two of us?

You did that again.

Yes, you're right.

I'll work harder, so I can find a better house for us.

I know it's not perfect, but let's live together here.

Or do you want to go on a trip with me while I get the house ready?

You have no intention to make up with Mom, right?

I'm sorry.

I don't think we're going to win this case.

The defendant's irresponsibility as a father...

would come to light by the family investigator.

Do you think the judge will let him raise the boys?

That's why we must push before the investigation ends.

On what legal principles?

No legal principles can help in this case.

Only experience will.

I'll take first chair starting with the next hearing. So watch.

Seriously.

They gave birth to these beautiful two boys.

How could they fight to avoid raising their own children?

I really don't get that.

You don't know what it's like to raise a child, do you?

There's no life of your own.

Being a parent becomes your life.

You don't get any time of your own.

Every parent...

Yes, my baby.

experiences losing a sense of their own identity.

Kim Ho Seok is experiencing that for the first time in his life.

Some people only learn through personal experience.

But still.

We're using children as a tool to negotiate.

Who said we were using them as a tool?

The boys barely got to spend quality time with their dad.

Why don't we think of it as a good bonding opportunity?

Okay.

Ms. Cha.

Jae Hui...

also needs to bond more...

with her mother before the family investigator begins.

You said you couldn't be there for her when she needed you.

If she says she wants to live with her father...

Ms. Han.

Well,

could you call the plaintiff and find out more...

about the defendant's parents?

Okay.

Ms. Han.

Yes.

I'll pay more attention to Jae Hui.

I'll do that.

I ought to do so.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Cha Eun Kyung)

The defendant cares most about custody.

The absolute time and effort put into caring for the child...

as well as attachment...

is in my client's favor, Your Honor.

Come in.

Eun Kyung. I talked to a reporter I know.

The office husband scandal has run its course for now.

As it should.

The more I think about it, the more shocked I am about it.

- Sorry about that. - Gosh, don't apologize to me.

This must've been harder on you.

- Would you like to go for a walk? - What if people gossip?

How dare they?

We've known each other forever.

You must have a lot on your mind about Jae Hui.

But don't worry about it.

I wasn't concerned about anything,

but this matter with custody...

is making me think a lot.

It feels like I'm on trial as a mother.

Perhaps, I thought I was fulfilling my responsibility...

by making money to feed, clothe, and educate her.

Then...

it crossed my mind if that was the easiest excuse...

I could find to justify my absence as a mother.

No parent can be perfect.

So don't beat yourself up for it.

I've been watching you for over a decade.

Your work was your priority. Then you put yourself last.

It was all for Jae Hui.

That's what I thought too.

Why is the feeling of certainty fading?

You showed Jae Hui your commitment to work...

and supported her financially.

Not every parent can accomplish that.

Children are grateful...

simply for having their parents in their lives...

Thanks, Woo Jin.

But...

Why are you still unmarried...

when you have great insight on the subject?

Beats me.

Others' lives are clear to me,

but mine seems to be foggy.

Don't fantasize about certain people.

We're pretty much all alike.

Ma'am, are you looking for something specific?

I'm looking for a bra for someone who'll soon start middle school.

Sure, they're over here.

Over there?

Jae Hui.

Do you want to see what I got for you?

Ta-da. It's the best one they had in store.

I only wear wireless bras.

Regular bras are uncomfortable, so get a refund.

Gosh, bras with wires.

I see you find these uncomfortable.

Isn't this removable?

The housekeeper gets me things in the style I like,

so don't be bothered.

You've never bought these things for me.

Right.

Are you still upset about camp day?

What about it?

The housekeeper came, which settled things.

Don't be sarcastic with me,

and tell me what you're upset about.

Otherwise, I'm clueless.

I never asked this from you.

Besides, you're way busier these days.

So just go about your work...

like always.

Be honest with me.

By any chance,

is this your way of telling me...

that you want to live with your dad?

You're one to talk.

I know you want me gone.

Right?

Kim Jae Hui.

When did I ever say that?

Mom.

Don't try to pretend to be Mother of the Year...

and give me some time to think!

Don't I also have a choice?

Hey, Jae Hui.

- Bye. - See you.

"Spare me some of your time."

Were you booking an appointment with me?

Be the 13-year-old that you are...

and just ask me if I can come see you.

What an ego.

- Aren't you hungry? - I am.

How about some tteokbokki?

Really? Your dad also had an affair?

Hey. Blurting it out like that...

kind of embarrasses me.

Why do you address me like I'm a child?

How else should I address you?

Do as you wish.

How old were you when you found out?

About your dad's affair.

I was in high school.

But even though I'm in my adulthood,

it still stings.

And since you're younger than I was,

it'll sting a little more.

Do you also only see me as a little kid?

You're seriously mature for a girl your age.

However,

you are at a tender age.

People always told me...

that I matured faster due to having a busy mom.

I never minded that though.

I had to do a lot of things by myself.

It sometimes got lonely,

but that helped me be better at those things

Gosh, you're commendable.

When I was a young girl,

my parents said I was mature for my age.

But I'm actually a big girl now,

so it's funny how they're suddenly treating me like a baby.

I see you're upset about the way your parents have been treating you.

You know what? You're right.

You're all grown up.

So don't think too much of it and follow your heart.

Since you're my mom's attorney,

you must want me to say that I wish to live with her.

It's not like that.

No matter which parent you choose to live with,

I only want you to be happy.

That's all.

If I choose one parent,

the other will be heartbroken.

Regardless of who's at fault,

they're still both my parents.

Don't think about things like that.

Your parents will be fine as long as you are.

You're their everything.

Don't agonize over it.

Dig in.

- Dad! - Dad!

- When will she get here? - When will she get here?

- Dad. - Gosh.

- When will she get here? - When will she get here?

- Dad! - Dad!

- The policeman will tell you off. - When will Mom get here?

- Guys, please. - Dad, when will Mom get here?

Bailiff.

What did I tell you about the police officer?

- Dad. - Please leave with the children.

- Dad... - We're sorry.

- Let's hurry out of here. - Dad.

- Dad. - I said you'd be told off.

(Plaintiff)

Your Honor.

You saw them.

The children desperately want to see their mother,

but she hasn't come by to see them.

How can a woman like her call herself their mother?

The children were sent to the father...

due to an unexpected car accident.

I'll do as you say.

Text your husband...

that you can't pick the children up due to a car accident.

Tell him to pick them up at 2:40pm.

Drive your car...

into something in the parking lot to damage it.

You must have him take care of the children...

for days to come.

That is also why she isn't present in court today.

She is still recovering from the accident...

and in no shape to care for the children.

Also, she does not have the financial means...

to care for them after the divorce...

because she was forced to leave the workplace for ten years...

so that she can raise the children.

Your Honor, this is an elaborate scheme...

that was designed to make her seem unfit as a primary carer.

If you look at Exhibit 15 that we submitted,

the plaintiff was recently diagnosed with depression.

And I was diagnosed with alcohol dependence.

If you look at Exhibit 16 which states one's list of crimes,

the plaintiff was punished for theft ten years ago.

And I have gotten behind the wheel while drunk multiple times.

Hold on a second.

Can't you raise children if you have kleptomania?

Can't you raise children...

if you have driven under the influence before?

Of course. Drunk driving will put children in harm's way...

and can hurt them...

Enough.

- What is the meaning of this? - But she...

Are you battling to see who's the worst parent?

Is this court a joke to you?

I apologize.

But Your Honor.

Yes, Ms. Cha.

(Plaintiff)

The defendant's parents...

as in the grandparents of the children in question,

used to be educators.

They were even given awards during their careers.

They seem like a great choice to be granted secondary custody.

Ms. Han. Well,

could you call the plaintiff and find out more...

about the defendant's parents?

- She's dragging... - No way.

- my parents into this? - That's how far she's taking it.

Unbelievable.

My parents weren't given those awards...

so that they could raise their grandchildren.

Isn't she a piece of work?

- Enough. - But...

The next hearing will be a negotiation.

Please try and settle.

Sure thing.

I hope that the defendant will strongly consider...

being the primary carer for his children.

You took the words out of my mouth. Tell the mother...

to raise her own brats.

Are you saying those brats aren't yours?

Who are you referring to as brats?

Order!

(Defendant)

Gosh. Mom!

Over here.

Mom.

Mom!

- Mom. - Goodness.

- It's pouring. - Mom.

I didn't know you'd come.

Gosh, Mom.

- Mom. - Over here.

Mom!

- Mom! - It's cold, isn't it?

Mom.

Bye.

- Dad! - Where are you headed?

Jae Hui.

I apologize for raising my voice at you yesterday.

(1 unread message)

I miss you, my daughter.

Don't you miss me too?

But no one's here to pick me up.

That we could get together.

Sorry, Mr. Jun.

I'd like this to be the last time we touch on the topic.

Just friends.

You said it was crucial to establish yourself.

Did you mean that as getting a seat at the convenience store?

What are you talking about?

And to me, finding my place is more important.

You're laughing?

You said I was fun to hang out with,

but here you are all by yourself.

Well...

It was late to call you out.

Excuse me, Ms. Han, but we're still colleagues.

Whether it's day or night, I don't really care,

so call me anytime.

Gosh.

Ms. Cha and her husband are both fighting for custody,

but the client we represented today...

and her husband both want to give it up.

Today's court session was a total mess.

They were both adamant about not winning custody.

My head's still spinning because of it.

I see you have to be two-faced.

I've been down that road before.

Even friends can say that they love each other.

The defendants are strictly friends of the opposite sex,

not lovers.

Transform.

How does it make sense for two friends of the opposite sex...

to text each other at night when they're both married?

I found it entertaining.

Transform.

- You find it entertaining? - Yes.

Specializing in divorce doesn't seem right for me.

I don't know how I should be judging what is right or wrong.

The corporate department is where...

Again with the corporate department. It's getting old.

Besides, there's no right or wrong when it comes to relationships.

Only the parties involved can tell that apart.

Is that what you believe?

Kim Ji Sang had an affair...

while Kim Ho Seok thinks of his children as parcels.

Trusting those men with the future of their children?

It's certain that shouldn't be allowed.

How is that not "right?"

I don't know.

Isn't there a limit to us judging what's right...

even in those cases?

I should also have some beer.

Who's calling?

I'm taking off.

What? Just like that?

Hey!

Seriously?

Was it a guy?

Do you know how long it's been...

since I've been out at this time of night...

drinking beer while staring at this godforsaken grill?

Well...

I'm not sure.

Five years.

Five years?

Can you believe that?

How so?

Isn't it obvious?

I was too busy raising my kids.

I don't have any siblings,

and my parents live far away,

so I had no one to babysit.

I couldn't even see a doctor while running a fever.

You have had it rough,

but how about...

you muster the strength to keep raising the children?

I came here today...

so that I could ask you that.

Ms. Han.

Will my being there for them guarantee them a good life?

Will my love be enough?

Their father doesn't earn any money, so I should instead.

I'll send the children away,

treat my depression,

and get a job.

I'll raise all the money I can while they're with their father.

I want...

to raise them well.

Also,

I want to find...

who I am and was.

I learned that all the parents in this world...

show love for their children...

- in the best way they can... - Come on. Let's eat.

by doing what can be done in their situation.

To that,

I couldn't dare to say anything else.

All I could do...

was pour her another drink.

(Seoul Family Court)

Defendant.

Are you still against the divorce?

(Defendant)

(Plaintiff)

Yes, for whose sake?

Even if the divorce is not approved,

the plaintiff has no intention to stay with the defendant...

and plans to continue staying at her parents' house.

So basically if I don't divorce her, she won't take the children...

with her. Is that it?

- It's either a divorce or nothing. - You got it.

What if I divorce her?

If you agree to divorce her,

we suggest you have the custody of the children,

and the plaintiff...

will look after the children every weekend.

So, the plaintiff's agreement is that...

if he agrees to divorce her,

the father will watch the children on weekdays,

and the mother on weekends.

Is that right?

Yes, she's available from Friday night.

So from Friday night, the defendant is...

free to drink without any restraints.

Okay.

He'll accept it. I'm sure.

Right. Now that he can drink from Friday to Sunday,

he might fall for that and sign it.

(Defendant)

I'm still paying for this watch.

You wouldn't ask for it back, right?

Take it and leave.

Be nice to our kids.

Watch your mouth.

(Plaintiff)

The massage chair we bought recently.

There's still a lot to pay off.

- I saw that you loved it. - Yes, it was very nice.

It's so refreshing. That's what I live for.

You can keep it.

(Defendant)

Seriously, the massage chair? Isn't that so cheap?

Because he didn't want to divorce. He was acting stupid.

How is that acting stupid?

I bet he realized how tough it is to raise children...

by himself.

Because he knew the divorce would only cause him a loss,

he clung to even the minor things.

Thanks to your strategy,

Choi Yeon Seo was able to divorce him.

And her children will be loved by both parents.

I learned a lot from you.

Gosh.

I can't believe someone would agree to it just to drink.

Kim Ho Seok didn't agree to it, so he could drink.

While he's with his children, he can finally play his father role.

And I got him that chance.

Oh, check this out.

Humans are stupid animals that are clueless...

until they experience it.

- Did you think that far? - Why won't it work?

- It's not working. - Boys!

- Mom. - Guys.

How are you?

You got even cuter.

Will you get off on time on Fridays?

Why didn't you just leave them by the door again?

You think that's funny?

You look well.

Are you happy now that you're divorced?

Of course, I am.

Are you in a rush to get a drink on Friday night?

Of course.

- Ho Seok. - Hey.

- Yeon Seo. - Yeon Seo.

We're back on it.

Oh, my babies.

Yeon Seo, will you give us likes...

- Subscribe. - and set the notification alarm?

Gosh, good luck.

- Bye, guys. - Let's go.

- Say bye to Dad. - For some parents,

it takes them a divorce to become one.

- You boys. - And for others,

they need a very long time.

- There are many immature... - What do you want to eat?

- and lacking parents like that. - Cake.

Dad was here.

- What's this? - What else?

Dad decorated my room.

Were you going to keep it a secret from me?

I want to decide who I'm going to live with.

I'm all grown up now. I can make that decision.

- Why transferred, not fired? - That's what I mean.

- I bet she talked him into it. - It doesn't make any sense.

- Hello. - This is absurd.

- That wouldn't work on him. - They're basically best friends.

I know.

- Hello. - Hello.

Have you checked?

Congratulations.

(Personnel Appointment Notice)

(Choi Sa Ra to Chief Manager)

Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra?

Yes?

If I do my best, will I become the chief manager one day?

Why do you want to become the chief manager?

It's not like your salary's going to double or triple.

I want my own room.

Your office?

I was raised in Haenam.

Ever since I watched drama as a child,

I dreamed of becoming a career woman...

who has her own office in Gangnam.

I've always wanted to have an office with my name on it...

just like you.

Will I ever have that day?

(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra)

I became the chief manager.

I even got my own room.

Your dream finally came true.

No need to go back in.

Sorry?

(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra)

Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra.

You're fired.

(Good Partner)

I was so happy to see you on TV.

What on earth are you doing here?

How can you forget your client?

Accept my dad's mistress' case?

If you refuse to get a divorce, who would recognize that?

Let me make a suggestion.

Fire Han Yu Ri immediately.

I told you not to mess with my daughter.

You know what Han Yu Ri is like.

It'll turn into a complete mess.

Will you be okay with that?
