Melody of Love
Deulim, I want you in my company.
I thought I already told you no.
You can stay with the Milky Way company.
But you'll also be in the musicals I produce.
Why are you being so nice to me?
I told you that I'm interested in you.
I don't want to let you go.
Excuse me?
I appreciate you taking an interest in me,
but as I told you, I'm still learning.
I can get you a trainer who will guide you.
Think of it as getting private lessons.
It's too much for me.
And I'm not sure if I'm worth it.
I'm a straightforward man.
I don't hesitate or take detours.
Be it work or romance.
I want to help you prosper as an actress.
If you sign a contract with me, you'll be able to perform abroad.
Abroad?
I will pay for room and board when you perform abroad, so don't worry about that.
I'm not sure if I'm worth such a great contract you're offering me.
You can trust me.
I'll make your dreams come true.
Why are you here?
I asked her to come.
But I thought you're not recruiting her.
Think it over, Deulim.
I will.
You stop right there!
Tell me.
Why did you go see Mr. Yun?
Mr. Yun's the one who told me to come.
And I don't see why I have to tell you.
You didn't ask him to sign with you, did you?
If you're curious, ask Mr. Yun.
Cancel the contract you offered Deulim.
What are you talking about?
She went to Mr. Yun and asked for a contract.
She's being rude to you, don't you think?
I thought she turned him down.
Where did you hear that?
I went to see Mr. Yun and she was there.
Why did you go to Mr. Yun's office?
He's an investor with our company,
and I wanted to ask him something.
Even if Deulim became an official member,
her heart is in another place.
Don't say that when you don't have the facts.
And it's up to her to decide who to sign with.
Director.
Stop minding her business and pay attention to yours, understand?
Do you have to do this?
Your wife's been so good to us.
God will punish you.
If you keep quiet, nobody will find out.
Stay out of this.
You knew he wasn't your son from the start.
You took loans from her family for that!
You better not tell anyone that.
If you do, you'll pay for it.
Yes?
Hello, Mr. Park.
I was going to call you,
but you beat me to it.
You seem to be doing much better.
I owe it all to you, Mr. Park.
I look great because I feel great.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
I asked you here because I have a question.
Go ahead.
Is it true you knew the truth about your son before you got married?
I told you I didn't from the beginning.
How about having a lover and you planned for this divorce with her?
Is that a lie, too?
Who told you that?
I have sufficient evidence.
So tell me the truth.
Evidence? What evidence?
I can't tell you that.
Show me the evidence.
As your client, I have the right to know.
That's not what's important here.
Don't try to fool me anymore.
I must know the truth as your lawyer.
Stop talking about the truth and do your job.
If what the evidence shows is true,
that means I've been lying in court.
And I can't have that.
Trust me when I say this.
If you submit evidence against me,
I won't let you get away with it.
Yes, Suim.
What's going on?
You two meet often?
Is it proper to do so?
That's none of your business.
Remember what I said, Mr. Park.
Watch your mouth.
Why did he say that?
There's something I must think about.
Does it have to do with that client?
I'd like to be alone, please.
I told him to be careful, so nothing will happen.
What could he do? He's my lawyer.
Don't worry, honey.
I'll see you later.
You can trust me.
I'll make your dreams come true.
Deulim, why aren't you paying attention?
Huh? I'm sorry.
Did Mr. Yun really offer you a contract?
Yes, he did, but I haven't made a decision yet.
I heard Nari's going to join him, too, but I guess she hasn't yet.
I know.
I thought Mr. Yun would go to Nari first.
What if he includes a funky clause?
You know how they have slave contracts?
I'm sure he wouldn't.
Director was nice to offer you a contract, so think carefully.
Yes, I will.
What are you doing here?
We're making plans for a trip.
We can't go anywhere far, so remember that.
Okay, director.
We'll see you later.
Deulim.
Yes, director?
Is there anything you want to tell me?
Like what?
I see. Go.
Okay.
Trust me when I say this.
If you submit evidence against me,
I won't let you get away with it.
Hyeonu!
You scared me.
What were you thinking?
Oh... I have a difficult situation.
What brings you here?
I wanted to ask you something,
but if you're busy, I'll just go.
What do you mean you'll just go?
Come and sit.
What is the difficult situation?
It's about a trial.
It'll trouble you if you heard it.
Oh... I wouldn't be able to help you.
Did I upset you?
You didn't upset me.
It's not like I can help.
What do you need to ask me?
It's nothing.
I don't want to add to your troubles.
Be honest with me.
You came to see me, pretending to have a problem, right?
Oh, I can't say anything to you.
You don't have to say anything.
I would love to stay with you longer,
but I have to go home early tonight.
I'm busy, too.
Why aren't you wearing the earmuffs?
Oh, the earmuffs.
Did you throw them away?
No, I didn't.
Wear them the next time you come.
Okay.
Where did you get the strawberries from?
Miok brought them yesterday.
But they're expensive.
She's really generous, isn't she?
I wish we could be in laws.
I know.
Isn't Suim friends with her son?
He came to see you when you got sick.
He was pretty handsome.
But they're just friends.
Suim likes someone else, so why are we talking about him?
She hasn't gotten over him yet?
Taegyeong would make a perfect husband.
Why is she looking somewhere else?
It's too late, Jeongnam.
Taegyeong is going to meet someone.
He is?
That's so sad!
Jeongnam missed her chance.
Tell Suim to change her mind.
Matters of the heart aren't easy to change.
I'm home.
Yes, have some strawberries.
Let me wash my hands.
Oh, Jina, where are my earmuffs?
I don't know.
What do you mean by that?
I told you to take good care of them.
Actually, I lost them.
What?
How could you lose them?
I told you to never lose them!
Mom...
Why do you have to make her cry?
I'm upset because she lost them.
Kids can lose things.
Earmuffs aren't a big deal.
What do I do?
I'm so upset.
Isn't Deulim being really harsh?
She was really mean when she lent them.
Jina, don't cry. I will buy you new ones.
It's your fault for losing them.
Stop crying.
Be honest with me.
About what?
Are you seeing a man?
Me?
You ran out two nights ago,
and grandmother said you're packing lunch so you can eat with a man.
Oh, grandmother!
Is it true?
You've been packing lunch not to save money
but to eat it with some guy?
Why is that important?
Be honest with me.
Are those earmuffs from a guy?
No! Please leave me alone.
Don't take what I say lightly.
Don't wall in love with just anyone.
Mom!
I have good taste in men.
How can you?
You've never dated anyone!
Mom, there are a lot of men around me.
Tell that to your dad.
He'll ground you for life.
You say that all the time.
You better not be doing anything stupid.
- You're home. - Yes.
Keep your sister in line.
Your dad will be furious if he found out.
What happened? Did you do something?
My legs will be broken if I'm seeing a man.
She said that because she's worried.
Even if I met someone nice, it's no use.
I'm not well educated.
What do you mean?
I wish I could give people advice,
but I don't know anything.
I wish I knew about the law like you.
Don't say that. You're a smart girl.
If I go somewhere bigger and become successful, people won't look down on me.
Will I be able to do that?
Why couldn't you?
Should I sign that contract then?
Huh?
That investor you met before.
He says I can perform abroad.
I thought you turned him down.
I did, but he said I can stay with my company
and perform in musicals abroad with him.
You must be a great actress.
To be honest, there are a lot of actors better than I am, so I'm grateful.
He found something in you that nobody has.
Do you think so?
But still, look into it.
I'll look into it, too.
Okay.
- I'm home. - Hello.
Sanghyeon's coming over for dinner.
Where's father?
His trial is running late.
He should be home soon.
Is grandfather in his room?
Grandfather, I'm home.
My grandson's home.
Grandfather, I want to ask you something.
What is it?
If I had evidence against my client,
what should I do with it?
Lawyers aren't people who delegate their clients business.
Clients information shouldn't be revealed.
But what if that information is false?
Should I still have to cover for it?
This has to do with your current client?
Yes.
Wouldn't it be great if the line between truth and lie and right and wrong were clear?
But people in the legal profession don't all have clear standards.
Your experience up till this point will be your guide.
My experience?
Of course.
The reason you became a lawyer will guide you.
Find the answer in yourself.
I will, grandfather.
Sanghyeon, you want to be in management?
Yes, uncle.
Making investment has limits.
You're interested in broadcasting?
No, I'm thinking of performing arts.
There are lots of talented people there.
Lots of performing artists are serious artists.
Then you'll need to find talents.
Yes, so I'm in contact with some musical actors.
Are there some great talents?
I'm trying to discover new actors,
but there's one who's hesitating because my offer was so good.
Take one step at a time.
But I'm sure you'll do great.
Yes, uncle.
Hyeonu, you should help him.
I'm sure he needs it with contracts.
I'll be asking for it.
You'll help, won't you, cousin?
If you're not using money as a weapon, sure.
My weapons are money and passion.
Are you interested in that little girl?
I'll deal with her in my own way,
so you stay out of it.
This is a crucial time for her.
Don't shake her up with grand ideas and leave her alone.
How far do you intend on going with Deulim?
What?
If you're not serious, let her go.
Before she gets her heart broken.
What do you mean by that?
I'm actually disappointed in you.
You said you like her, right?
You say things you can't be responsible for.
What do you mean?
Can you bring Deulim home and introduce her to your parents as your girlfriend?
I'm not sure if you really like her,
but don't give her false hope.
Your selfish act will only hurt Deulim.
You have no right to say that, Sanghyeon.
But I'm curious how far you'll go.
I'm home.
Hello.
You're making dinner?
Your mom and uncle are on strike.
I'm hungry, so what else could I do?
Is it rice or porridge?
Your mom doesn't feel well, so I made thick porridge.
I think you ended up with porridge while trying to make rice.
Huh?
But it looks like everyone needs porridge.
Don't you know I hate porridge, dad?
Eat it for your mom and uncle.
Taehui, go get your mom.
Taegyeong, go get your uncle.
Dinner's ready, uncle.
Father made porridge-like rice.
I'm not hungry.
You look gaunt.
That's not all.
My heart has turned into ashes.
You come out!
I said I'm not hungry.
Taegyeong, where's your luggage?
My luggage? Why?
I'm kicking that fool out.
Get me your luggage.
You can't kick him out when it's freezing.
Let's have dinner, uncle.
I'll deal with my business, so stay out!
How will you deal with it?
I'll pick the woman I'm going to marry!
Honey, my blood pressure...
Sit, sit.
Everyone, sit down. Sit.
Sejun, try understand where she's coming from.
She's not just your sister. She's like your mom.
I know.
So don't starve yourself. Eat.
There's nothing more to say.
You're meeting a woman this Saturday.
I'm what?
I found someone for you,
so stop complaining and do as I say.
Miok!
I don't want to think about anything right now.
If you don't meet her, I'll disown you.
Miok!
Why don't you give this woman a chance?
Taegyeong, would you be able to do that?
Telling him to meet someone is not right.
His mind is on that woman he likes,
so it's not right, not even for his date.
Shut up.
Taegyeong, you're meeting someone, too.
Why are you taking it out on me?
Maybe they should have a joint wedding.
That's a nice idea.
Should we do that, honey?
A groom will be missing at that wedding.
Did you hear what he said?
It looks like he's really serious.
Maybe she's a really nice person.
Your uncle doesn't know anything.
His mental age is just like Taehui.
So how can he know if a woman is nice?
Mom, don't underestimate people my age.
We have high standards.
But you only care for looks.
Let's eat first, honey.
Honey, what is this?
Huh? Think of it as anything you want.
If you think of it as rice, it's rice.
If you think of it as porridge, it's porridge.
I got it, honey.
[Student Records, Kim Seonghun]
[Father: Noh Jaesu, Mother: Gong Jeongja]
Gong Jeongja?
Her name wasn't Gong Hyojin?
[Father: Noh Jaesu]
Seonghun's last name is Kim,
so why is his father's last name Noh?
What's going on here?
What's wrong with Mr. Gu?
Right?
He seemed absentminded in class, too.
Oh, are you coming to the performance?
I am, of course.
Taehui, you're coming, right?
I don't think I can.
Why? Because of you lesson?
No, my mom's been upset lately.
Why?
There's a woman my uncle likes,
and she is divorced and has two kids.
Really? What about your uncle?
My uncle has never been married.
And he likes a divorced woman with two kids?
There must be something wrong with your uncle.
Divorced people are people, too.
Would you be able to be like Taehui's uncle?
I'm never getting married.
People like you marry early, I heard.
I'm serious. I'm not getting married.
We'll see about that.
Oh, Sejun.
Can we talk for a moment?
You haven't been to the restaurant.
I was worried about you.
I've been busy.
I see.
We're meeting for the first time this year.
It's nice because it's been a while.
Hyojin, don't you have anything to tell me?
I do.
Then tell me.
Sejun...
Happy New Year.
Is that it?
Yes. What else could I...
I thought you'd have lots to tell me.
But it seems I was wrong.
I know I owe you an answer, Sejun.
I appreciate you wanting to get close,
but I'm in no position to do that now.
Why is that?
Like you know, I've been married once,
and I have a daughter.
Are they the only reasons?
It would be hard for you to accept them.
I see.
I have something to do. I better go.
Goodbye.
Sejun.
Sejun, hold on!
I have something to say!
Oh, my god!
How dare you bark at me, you mutt!
Ho! Where is she?
Ho.
Oh, Ho, you were here!
Is this mutt yours?
Did you call Ho a mutt?
Don't you know you must leash your dog?
What if it bites someone and give rabies?
What will you do then?
Ho's been vaccinated. That's nonsense.
Nonsense?
What you just said was nonsense.
You're the woman who didn't clean after your dog.
Did I wrong you in another life?
Why do you always pick fights with me?
You should take proper measures.
How dare you talk to me like that?
Take your mind off my dog and pay attention to your children.
What did you say?
You're adding insult to injury!
What do you know about my children?
Have you seen them? Have you?
I shouldn't talk to people who have no class.
Fine! I have no class.
Do you want a piece of me?
Awful...
Ho, let's go.
If I see that mutt again, I'll...
Where are you, Sejun.
I'm sorry, Sejun.
I'll be able to tell you the truth someday.
Everyone must work hard toward expanding Shinhwa this year.
Mr. Park wrapped up last year very well,
so I'm sure we'll do great this year.
We should.
To become the law firm that wins every case!
Let's give it up!
- Applause! - Let's do it!
Mr. Park, you're not joining us?
Excuse me?
Uh, yes, I will join you.
I'll do my best.
Is something wrong, Hyeonu?
May I ask you something?
What is it?
Have a seat.
My client.
He is at fault for this divorce.
What do you mean?
He knew the child wasn't his when he got married,
he got money from the wife's family for that,
and he has a lover.
Really?
How did you find that out?
The client's sister came yesterday and gave me a recording of their conversation.
Who knows about that?
Does Suim know, too?
Right now, I'm the only one.
I should submit this, right?
What are you talking about?
Pretend you never got it.
What are you talking about?
I'm saying this as a senior lawyer.
You have to look the other way.
Mr. Jeong.
Lawyers aren't heroes. Snap out of it.
Lawyers represent their clients at trials.
That's all we do.
A true lawyer shouldn't try to ignore the truth when he discovers it.
I'm going to talk to the head partner.
You can't!
He will tell you to destroy it.
If you make even one mistake,
you'll do great damage to our law firm.
But Mr. Jeong...
Don't waste your time.
Just do as I say. Got it?
Where is he?
I'm starving.
What took you so long?
I almost starved to death.
I was getting this.
I had to stand in line to get this.
What is this?
Spicy rice cakes.
I'm stressed out and I wanted something spicy.
Yum.
Huh? This isn't enough.
But it's just for the two of us.
I can eat this by myself.
Don't eat too much. You'll get fat.
I don't gain weight, no matter how much I eat.
Maybe you have worms.
Ugh... Not in front of food...
Stop making fun of me!
When did I make fun of you?
Yesterday. You said I know nothing.
You said I wouldn't understand.
So? Were you upset?
If you explain well, I can understand.
You want to know?
Yes.
I'd like to listen to your concerns.
Even though I may not be of any help.
Gong Jeongja.
Do you believe truth must prevail?
Or what wins in trial becomes the truth?
And I thought your problem was really big.
Hey, you don't think this is big?
Why would you worry over that?
Huh? You don't worry over that?
Only cowards would worry over that.
Are you a coward?
What?
Hey, if I were, would I worry?
Look.
Let's say you won the trial by hiding the truth.
It'll nag at you for the rest of your life.
I thought you were a bit honest.
Hey, I'm a very honest man.
Then why do you worry?
This is what my dad told me.
When I'm worried about what to do,
don't do what will make me feel ashamed.
I should thank your father.
As if he'd accept it.
I can just go and bow.
Eat this.
Oh, it's warm.
It's freezing today.
Then why didn't you wear the scarf?
Huh? Uh...
Why? You didn't like it?
Actually, I loved it.
But I don't think I deserve it.
Why not?
I'll feel badly about you whenever I wear it.
I didn't know you would feel that way.
I shouldn't have given it to you.
No. It's because I'm small minded.
I'm sorry.
Okay. Just keep it until you feel comfortable to wear it.
I will.
What is it that you wanted to ask?
Your investor, Mr. Yun Sanghyeon.
He wants to recruit my sister,
and I was wondering if it's a good idea.
I heard about that.
As a director, you'd know if my sister's good or not.
I don't think it's a bad idea.
I can't help her with abroad performances.
Why not?
My dreams aren't that grand.
I want to focus in musicals in Korea.
You do?
Okay. I'll talk to my sister.
Yes, Hyeonu.
Right now?
Okay. I got it. I'll be there.
Hyeonu wants to see me at his office.
It's about the trial.
Okay. Let's go.
Hyeonu.
You're here. Sit.
What is it?
Listen to this.
What is it?
You knew he wasn't your son from the start.
You took loans from her family for that!
You better not tell anyone that.
If you do, you'll pay for it.
This is...
My client's sister gave me this.
This was what she was going to testify?
That was what she said.
She couldn't do it because he's her brother.
Why did you play this for me when I'm the other side?
You think I should hide this for my client?
Are you...
Are you thinking about giving this to me?
You have to think about this.
If you're thinking about giving this to me, it will ruin your case.
So you want me to hide this?
What do you think?

Mom, my teacher wants to meet you.
Mr. Gu, hello.
If I found evidence that could hurt my client, what should I do?
I want to accept your contract.
The director gave you a chance, and you're betraying him?
How could you make such a decision without talking to me about it?
It wasn't like that.
Don't go.
