Episode 4
No matter what I'm not going to do it.
Before I got here, Mr. Noh gave me a good scolding.
No matter how important your own matters are,
he doesn't want to inconvenience others.
He didn't want you to have to close your store and come all the way to Seoul from Sok-Cho.
That's the kind of person he is.
I understand it's hard to testify at court when it's not even your own lawsuit.
Of course! It is better not to get involved with lawsuits.
What good can possibly come out of that!
I felt that way too before.
After going through my own experience I realized that people were so heartless.
Soon I have to go to court against my own boss.
But there isn't a single person who wants to help me.
So if anyone is in need of my help,
I'm going to go run and help them.
Just like today.
You know I am in agony every night.
Thinking if I should just give up,
I feel so wronged but maybe it's still better than going to court.
I'm scared even though I'm young,
how much more difficult it would be for that old man!
At least I can give up, but him,
he can't even give up since it is his own home we're talking about.
What are you two doing to me?
Please! There's only a few days now until the court date.
Please just give us one day.
If you don't stop I'm going to sue you for interrupting my business!
I'm so sorry I wasn't much help.
I know it was a long shot from the beginning.
Are you okay not being at the office today?
I took a vacation day since the're not giving me much work anyway
and instead nitpicking on everything.
Tomorrow I'm going to turn in the petition against Nara Daily.
I guess I should really be prepared mentally.
I brought my car so I'll go ahead.
Okay.
Where are you coming from...
What's with all the alcohol you bought.
I probably bought it because I need it.
No soju? I feel like having a soju beer bomb.
Didn't you say sometimes it's better to go with something strong than weak?
Why would you be looking for something strong?
You should be feeling pretty awesome right now.
What do you mean?
You can't have that. I bought it with my money.
- Why are you being so petty with food? - I don't care, just don't!
I didn't eat all day!
What were you doing that you didn't even have sushi in Sok-Cho?
Did I go there to play?
If not, then why did you go there?
I told you I went there to convince the Chinese restaurant owner.
So, did you succeed?
No it didn't work out.
Is that all? Nothing else to tell me?
I don't feel like talking about it.
You know how much it hurts my pride.
Wow really, such a great act you're putting up here.
Did you eat something wrong today?
What's with the bad attitude?
Hey hey hey, what is this?
- What, you can't even recognize your own face? - You took this picture?
- Why, you don't like it? - You came all the way to Sok-Cho?
I was probably able to take it because I was there.
- Why? - Because I was suspicious?
- Of what? - So you used to date Eun Hee Soo?
- How did you find out? - Why?
If you find out are you going to go complain to that person?
I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't like it.
So, is that why you two went to Sok-Cho together behind my back?
I went because of work! I thought she can help me convince the Chinese restuarant guy.
- Such a great excuse! - It is not an excuse..
Fine! Let's just say that's true.
- Then what about that day? - What do you mean that day?
That day you supposedly went to go see So Ju,
I saw So Ju and Koh Kee drinking together!
Oh that...
So who'd you meet that day?
Here ya' go! Let's drink!
Ahh..tastes good!
Here, ahhh..
- Mother it's awesome! - Me too?
It's good, right?
Look at you! You can't even answer.
Well regardless, I didn't do anything weird or wrong so don't think otherwise.
Yeah right, it's probably the truth!
- You really can't trust me that much? - I'd rather trust a cockroach!
Then don't!
What is with this confidence of yours?
Especially after making me look so stupid!
- Who made you look stupid? - If I knew she was your ex-girlfriend,
I wouldn't even have taken that case!
Then you can drop out now! Happy?
- How is that you don't even apologize? - I didn't do anything wrong.
Please let's just stop.
I'm really not in a good mood today.
So, should I console you for not having the ability to earn money?
What is with your words here?
How do you plan on winning that case without even any witnesses!
I'm going to do well in court.
So why are you constantly doing these pro bono cases when you can't even afford it!
You know that I can't live losing!
- How would you expect to win? - I told you it's not like that!
Why are you yelling?
Do you think I'm just going to let you do this each time?
Eun Jae are you really going to do this?
Did you just kick my bag?
It got in the way!
Hey hey, what do you think you're doing?
I am SO angry right now!
- Do you think you're the only one who can throw things? - Then throw something!
That's expensive.
Remember I threw yours on the sofa..
You better squeeze it from the end..
Teuk Hee!
You were suppose to destroy these papers, not put them in the recycling bin.
I was going to collect them together and destroy later.
If it got leaked to the public, are you going to take the responsibility for it?
I'm sorry..
Mr. Kang,
When is the ruling for Mr. Han's lawsuit coming out?
Oh it's still going to be some time.
Please make sure you check the website clearly and not make a mistake like last time.
Yes, of course.
- Mr. Koh. - Yes?
I understand you need to study but how about doing some work too?
He has too much work to do all by himself, don't you think?
Okay, sorry about that.
Can you go register this at the justice court?
What is this? Eun Hee Soo's petition.
What the hell?
Don't you think I should look at it too? I'm on this case as you know.
I thought you weren't going to do it.
Do you think I'm like you who can't differentiate between work and personal life?
Come out for a second.
Did something happen between you two?
It is like walking on egg shells in the office. I can't even breathe.
Eun Jae found out about Hee Soo.
- How? - I have no idea.
She ended up even following us to Sok-Cho, trying to see what's going on between us.
The problem is that
I actually went to Sok-Cho with Hee Soo.
- You are seriously out of your mind. - I went because of work!
This clearly a criminal accident.
What do you mean criminal accident?
What did I do wrong?
Whatever you have on you, give it to me.
Okay, listen carefully.
Let's say, this is your wife,
and this is your wife's ex-boyfriend.
Okay, so how do you feel?
How I feel? I'm sure a girl like Eun Jae probably had a lot of relationships before.
Yeah?
Well then say that ex boyfriend appears right in front of you.
And right next to him, is your wife.
Just because of work.
Put those away you bastard!
But them two, went to Sok-Cho, for whatever reason, together.
Why? Because of work!
Are you really MY friend?
See? You don't feel so good either, huh?
Tell her you're sorry and beg for forgiveness no matter what.
Make sure you are sincere, the kind women like,
and also get down on your knees until they literally break.
Really? I have to go that far?
You have to do it for hope and happiness.
Hope!
Um, there isn't much else to add, is there?
Everything's here like we discussed.
Then, should I tell Mr. Koh to turn it in?
Whatever you want to do.
About yesterday,
I was a little tired and..
I didn't do anything particularly wrong,
but I know I didn't do anything particularly right either.
Of course, I can see how you'd misunderstand a situation like this.
So what?
Are you telling me there is nothing going on between you and Hee Soo Eun?
Of course! Why are you imagining weird things?
Wait a second.
Mother
Pick it up.
Okay.
Hello?
Yes.
What kind of phone call just ends after four "yes"s?
Um, a client requires my assistance immediately.
- Sure, go ahead. - Okay.
I'll be back soon.
And he still wants me to trust him?
Should I just go through his IM's?
- Here, have a drink. - Thank you.
Nothing uncomfortable while working?
Well, you two are always fighting and..
I mean who cares right?
I mean what is a married couple without a little bit of fighting here and there.
You know, Teuk Hee,
I think you are a woman of many talents.
Especially, regarding computer skills.
Well you did hire me especially because of that, right?
Which reminds me,
you know the passcode locks on computers?
How do you crack that?
Did you forget your password?
Yeah, you know me. I'm so scatterbrained.
All you have to do is delete that and reboot.
But if I delete it he'd probably find out.
Should I just delete it first? Who cares what happens after.
So how do you do that?
First reboot it under "Secure Mode" and then go in to "Administrator Account"
then click on "Start" then "Control Panel" and then "User Account" and finally "Change Password."
Is there no other way?
I guess you can make a new account.
How do you do that?
Maybe you can tell me in more detail.
Well, it's about the same.
Click on F8, and once it is in "Secure Mode" you go into "Administrator Account."
"Start Menu" and then to "Set-up" and then click on "Control Panel" and lastly click on "Add User."
Okay, secure mode..
Administrator account? Control Panel?
Why is this so difficult?
- Do you want me to do it for you? - It's fine!
Gosh, what's wrong with her?
Guess what happened!
Why what did Lee say?
She kept on asking me how to change the computer's password,
my instincts tell me...
that what she wants to know is Yeun's password.
- Bingo! - Oh gosh! These two rascals!
Yeun.
So when is this hot shot lawyer son-in-law of yours coming?
He's on his way so just wait.
Since you are being rude to me I'll just be rude too.
You're going to do what?
Then why don't you just tell me your name.
Why should I tell you my name? I don't want to cheapen it by telling you.
Hmm..I'm sure it's on the contract.
Jung Lan. Yoo Jung Lan?
Are you an egg or what? (Yoo Jung Lan: egg with yolk in Korean)
That's my old contract so it doesn't have my name Jung Lan.
So what is your name?
I don't think I feel like telling you yet.
I see, so then I should call you Landlord 1?
What do you mean Landlord 1?
Well since it seems like you're the best of best of all landlords.
You're son-in-law must be a turtle to be this slow.
Why is mom sitting there?
No way. The new landlord is...her?
What kind of situation is this?
- Yes mother! - Lawyer son-in-law?
Where are you about now?
Oh something really urgent came up
and I don't think I can make it anymore.
But Landlord 1 is already here. Are you sure you can't come?
Okay then I'll give you directions through the phone,
so just do exactly as I tell you.
- Do you want me to put her on the phone? - No no..!
Why don't you just speak to me directly.
What are you talking about? It's better for you to talk to her directly.
I don't really want to do this over the phone.
I can also call my lawyer daughter-in-law.
She says she's going to call her lawyer daughter-in-law.
- Daughter-in-law? - Yes.
Yes, her daughter-in-law who's a lawyer too.
Yes Mother.
Oh you know that building I bought before? I'm here to rewrite the lease.
She's constantly bringing her lawyer son-in-law in to this.
So I just need some legal advice from you.
- Sure. - Okay, go on then.
Um, remember last time, the things you told me?
First of all, don't get overexcited.
Make sure you speak calmly. Please.
Oh of course.
Are you aware that I can receive protection through insurance?
She is mentioning protection through renter's insurance.
Yeah?
She says legally that's true, but lots of people move out after receiving compensation.
Her lawyer daughter-in-law tells me that they move out after receiving compensation.
The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are all the same!
They think money can take care of everything!
Okay tell her that within five years you are not giving up the rental here.
She is threatening me saying she can't give this place up within 5 years.
I guess the son-in-law and mother-in-law are a bit ignorant.
Tell her it's not that you're trying to kick her out, but you're asking for a favor.
Ask her isn't it better to receive a more money and go to a better place?
Well regardless,
let's rewrite the contract.
I don't want to have the old landlord's name in the contract.
If that is what you want, of course.
I mean you did tell me that I can't treat the rentor with disrespect, right?
Where are you going?
I'm on way to give my awesome son-in-law's wonderful advice to everyone.
Hmph. So childish.
- Hey son! - Where are you now?
- I'm just out taking care of some business. Why? - Can you see me right now?
I'm really busy right now.
You're a little bit too busy these days mother.
I've waited for you for exactly an hour.
What are you doing here waiting for me at this hour?
I hear that you bought a building at Ga-Weh Dong?
Did your wife tell you this?
And you're planning to start a franchise restaurant in there?
Yeah.
I hear that that's where the renter's get special protection..
I can just pay them out. Even your wife said so.
Well she's just saying whatever and not considering anything else!
Why are you yelling like a person without any manners?
Mother, if you fight them with them on legal terms
you are going to lose for sure.
Just please give up on opening this franchise.
Why should I? The restaurant will make the building.
I don't think that will make any difference anyway.
How do you know? Have you seen it?
No, Eun Jae described it to me a bit.
Well I'm planning on listening to my daughter-in-law's advice.
Nobody can fight against money.
You should listen to your son! Why your daughter-in-law?
Why are you yelling again!
Just leave if that is all you've got to say.
So with that client of yours, did it go well?
I hear that you took upon the legal advice for my mom's building?
- Yeah? - Why'd you do that?
Why are you yelling? Be professional.
- Don't do it anymore. - I don't want to.
- I even got paid for it. - You even got paid for it?
Well since you don't bring in any money, someone has to right?
Well then, at least make her give up the franchise restaurant.
Why? That is what your mother wants.
You know that there is no way she can win this battle legally.
Why should she use the law for this when she can use money to take care of it.
- You listen to me! - What about you? You never listen to me.
Attorney Lee!
Where are you going?
I'm going to meet your precious Eun Hee Soo.
- Why are you meeting her? - Are you really asking me this?
Especially after you left like that awhile ago?
- Why are you doing this? - Are you that scared?
Of me seeing her?
I told you it's not what you think! And I even apologized!
Lee Eun Jae!
Stop making me look so dumb in front of everyone!
Do you not get your own wife?
- What do you think you're doing? - Let me go!
Lee is like a daughter to me!
Oh goodness.
Lawyer Yeun.
Please let's talk tomorrow.
Stop it and listen to me!
Why? What on earth is it?
I just wanted to let you know we're going to go ahead and leave.
Did you wait long? Traffic..
No worries. I didn't intrude on your busy schedule did I?
Either way we already put the petition in,
and we need to gather more specific info from you anyway so it's fine.
I'll go order some drinks for us. What would you like?
I'd like some coffee. Iced coffee.
This cellphone is power off. We will now send you to voicemail.
Thank you.
Why do you keep on drinking this unhealthy coffee?
Oh Hyung Woo, I didn't know you were such a thoughtful person.
So what did you want to speak to me about?
For the compensation amount, I heard you set it for 200,000 dollars.
I'm sort of worried that they may think I'm doing this for the money..
Do you think I can change that amount now?
If the amount is set lower than 100,000 dollars
then it gets assigned to a single judge.
If it gets assigned to settlement, then there will 3 judges instead.
So they would be more careful.
And more importantly, I don't think that amount is a lot at all.
It includes the amount of money you are able to earn for two years
and the compensation for all the mental anguish you suffered.
Even if I do win it's not like I can really be awarded all that money anyway.
I did some research and I read that it's still a lot when you receive 5000 dollars.
I think through this we should leave a good example.
And on top of that, who cares if you are suing for the money.
You were in such an unfair situation, the least you can get is money.
Then I'll trust you and go with everything.
This is just the start.
I really want to help you win.
For real!
Since work is work.
Excuse me?
I mean I'm going to do my best.
Is this what I need to take a look at?
Yes, take a look.
I organized it based on the information you gave us.
So you're not going to tell me huh?
The fact that you two went to Sok-Cho together?
Well I guess they are pretty similar.
And I'm sure they shook on it.
Now that I think about it, why did Hyung Woo break up with her anyway?
The more I look at her, she's completely normal!
Thank you so much today.
Of course not.
Um, excuse me!
By any chance are you currently seeing anyone?
No, not at the moment.
Then do you want me to introduce you to someone? What kind of guys do you like?
Well as you know I'm not in the situation where I can think about men right now.
Well I guess so...
but it'd be nice to have someone to lean on at times like this.
You are giving me enough consolation. I'll be going then.
She is a wise woman indeed.
You just had to ask that question.
At least your pride could've been saved.
So embarrassing!
- Don't spill! - You know this isn't my first time.
Smart ass!
So what happened to the two of them?
They've never actually fought in the office like that before.
Lee found out about Yeun's past.
Oh no! So he found about his relationship with Hee Soo Eun?
Not only that, but Lee became suspicious, so she spyed on him.
That really isn't Lee's style.
I wonder who gave her adivce..
If your husband is acting suspicious,
what woman has the ability to keep her style?
I totally understand her for spying.
No I'm pretty sure there is someone who informed her.
Mr. Koh?
Who do you think I am?
Gwak Gwak!
I'm really not that interested in other people's business.
Maybe you?
That is not what's important right now, is it?
What's important is that Hyung Woo is cheating on her.
What do you mean he's cheating on her?
How suspicious did he act that she had to even follow him?
- That just means.. - You really shouldn't..
Of course. The moment I say anything about your friends you get all angry..
You better not unnecessarily tell her anything falsely..
What is that suppose to mean?
Did I tell her something that isn't true?
Did you tell her?
You told her?
Gosh this is a total domino effect on these two couples.
After working here, all my fantasies about marriage have completely vanished.
Yeah that's a good attitude to have.
You don't decide to marry easily but you can't break a marriage too easily either.
But I thought you broke your own marriage really easily.
Yeah usually I'm pretty strong at theory.
Mr. Kang!
- It's been awhile! - Hello Mr. Suh!
How have you been Teuk Hee?
Of course!
You too?
Yes.
Let's see.
Your love life obviously isn't going well
and now it's moving to my colleague Suh here.
Professor!
Please stop that nonsense.
Who is this?
Oh he's a judge at law school and also taught Lee and Yeun.
They both work at Hope Lawyer's Office.
Oh Hope..
It's a great place.
That's the place where my so-called big shot disciples have been so busy working.
I'll excuse myself. Oh yeah, don't go to Ddeu-Rak.
Why?
- The owner couple are having a huge fight. - Again?
Should we just go somewhere else?
Why go somewhere else?
Have you ever seen me just pass by a fighting couple?
Well then.
Can you please not touch me? Don't come near to me!
Excuse me.
You know your face is really, how should I say this, "free."
Your face is the type of face that is very likeable.
Even though I've never met you before.
Oh I see.
I do hear often that my face is likeable sometimes.
Maybe they say this because I have a good first impression.
Well whatever.
But anyway, why don't we try to open up our hearts wide.
And try to have a conversation with each other.
I will only be able find a solution for your issues
only if you two find out what the core reason for your fights are.
Mr. Judge, I don't understand what I did wrong here.
Is it really wrong for me to exploit the fact that
his friend is cheating on his wife such a bad thing?
I'm telling you that is not true!
Mr. Husband, first of all, let's not get all riled up here.
And Ms. Wife,
husbands are just like that.
Even though deep inside they are always thinking for their wives,
if their wives prick something around them they get all explosive.
Hyung Woo did not cheat on his wife,
she keeps on overamplifying the whole situation to something that's not.
You heard that, right? Ms. Wife?
He's saying that Hyung Woo did not cheat on his wife.
And this Hyung Woo, are you talking about Yeun Hyung Woo?
Yes, Hyung Woo Yeun, yes.
So that bastard cheated on his wife?
- Is this true? - Well we haven't verified it's validity yet..
Where is that bastard?
- Now? - Yes NOW!
Professor! How are you..
Cheating? No way!
Let me tell you, it's not true!
Yeah....yeah...
I'll come visit you soon.
My goodness! This is so embarrassing!
Hey, what are you going around telling people?
Why? Did Eun Hee Soo call and say something to you?
Why would Eun Hee Soo come up right now?
She's quite tight-lipped.
She didn't even utter a word about going to Sok-Cho with you.
Hey Hee Soo..
No, no, I mean Eun Jae!
I'm sure it's very confusing for you.
You kept bringing up Hee Soo's name
it just came out as a mistake.
Well both of your names has the word "Eun" in it...
We have a lot of cases lined up this week.
So just leave me alone for awhile.
I too have Mr. Noh's court hearing coming up soon so am a little sensitive...
- You're here. - Yes.
This happened so quickly! It hasn't even been a month yet.
I think Nara Daily decided to move quickly
since it will get a bit noisy once this starts.
Well let's go in.
Don't worry. We're here for you.
Let us first try to talk to each other and reach for a settlement.
Let's first hear it from Nara Daily who requested this arbitration.
On our part, if Ms. Eun Hee Soo withdraws from this lawsuit,
we are willing to give her as a single payment of $80,000 as severence.
I don't think there is any reason to mention resignation at this point in time.
We are simultaneously proceeding with a administrative hearing
so let's just talk about the compensation for damages.
On the plaintiff side, what are your terms?
First of all, she needs a sincere apology from the sexual offender and the company.
And the amount the defendant suggested is actually very little,
but money can be discussed later.
Well, in terms of apologies, that I've already did.
I only said those things to encourage my colleague,
but if she felt that bad about it,
well, I did apologize, didn't I, Ms. Eun Hee Soo?
Are you really telling me that giving them morning calls
and telling me to get the party going when we're having drinks encouragement?
She started to hold a grugde about my temper
and now she's making things up when it didn't even happen.
Whether or not she's making things up will be verified at court.
What we want is an official letter of apology through the company's intranet.
In order to prevent something like this from happening again,
I believe all the employees need to know the whole situation and its conclusion.
What are your thoughts?
That is impossible. The reason why the company is offering $80,000
is not because they are admitting to this claim,
but is a consideration they are showing for the time the defendant spent there.
Without an official apology from the offender and the company,
there will be no such thing as withdrawing the lawsuit.
Well, we will not apologize either.
Then we can only but proceed to court.
You both did a great job.
You did great Hee Soo. Thanks for being patient.
- Let's get going. - Lee, I need to talk to you for a moment.
Didn't you say he's a colleague from your old law firm? Is it okay seeing him alone?
I'm sure he wants to talk about the compensation. So go ahead.
I'll be there soon.
Let's go.
Eun Hee Soo. I need a word with you.
Why don't you say it here.
I'm sure it's not something that others can't hear.
How dare you try to tarnish my reputation?
I'm sure it's not as bad as my reputation tarnished by you!
I brought you to attend all the big shot political gatherings
because you had a pretty face even though you were only a female journalist.
And now, you think you can just step all over me like this?
What? Sexual harrassment? Lawsuit?
I'm not a female journalist but a journalist.
I've never wanted to go to those meetings anyway. You're the one who forced me.
So, you're telling me you want to go all the way?
Fine. Then remember, whatever happens from this point on,
was based on your decision.
Would you like to be sued for blackmail as well?
Do you think this world is that easy?
What is making him that confident? After messing up my whole life!
This job, I loved more than my anything else!
Do you know how hard I worked for this job?
- Let's go. - What did I do?
I didn't do anything wrong!
This is so unfair!
So unfair!
Unfair...
What to do?
The Hyun Dong Soo lawsuit was dismissed.
What do you mean?
Basically it went all the way to the High Court,
but it gets dismissed because it didn't have enough evidence supported by the law.
This is probably the discouraging result for all lawyers.
Then what are we supposed to do?
Lee put so much effort into this case.
Saying this was a really bad case of being cheated.
The results for the Hyun Dong Soo case came up on the web.
So what are the results?
It got dismissed for not enough evidence.
I'm sure you are really disappointed.
Especially after we wrote like a 100 pages of reasons for the appeal.
At least it's better if it got rejected from the High Court.
At least they would give us a detailed list of reasons.
Are you going to be okay?
I'm not really good at saying these things...
Thank you for consoling me.
You can do it Attorney Lee.
What are you still doing here?
Hey friend.
What, did something happen?
What happened awhile ago?
We waited for you for a long time.
I'm just coming from meeting Mr. Noh.
We did some practice for the hearing.
It's not like this doesn't happen often.
You talk as if I've always lost.
That's not what I mean.
I'm just worried that you're going to be like this every time a case gets dismissed.
Is that easy for you?
- Let's go for a drive. - To where?
To Misari.
No, I don't want to go there.
- I need to talk. - I just don't want to go there.
And it's not that you don't want to talk?
Let's just go somewhere else, please?
Forget it. I just want to go home now.
Even if we put out the immediate fire,
scars always remain.
Like this.
Are you planning on changing the couch?
- Do you love me? - So random.
Answer me, do you love me?
Of course!
Then say it to me.
How can I say that soberly..
I guess so huh? You really just can't, right?
Because it's not true.
What are you talking about?
You would never divorce me, right?
Of course! Why would I?
Where are you going?
To take a walk.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss..."
My name is Lee Eun Jae, Eun Jae.
I'm Yeun Hyung Woo.
I'll support you Hyung Woo.
What happened to the Eun Jae that told me she'd support me?
How can you always just do whatever you want to do?
How can you always think for others first instead of me?
What about me? Am I like nothing to you?
You really can't trust me that much?
I'd rather trust a cockroach than you!
Then don't!
Do you love me?
Answer me, do you love me?
You're right. I can see that. Don't you think?
Come on, look!
Is what I'm saying that funny to you?
Saying that he has a very interesting looking face?
How could it not be funny?
Nobody has a more interesting looking face than you!
But of course, I'm not saying that
you are any less interesting looking.
Did I make a mistake?
- You don't like what I said? - Yes.
Of course not.
Seeing you laugh is making us feel good...
It was hard for you guys to work with me for awhile now, right?
Yes.
I want to apologize.
It won't happen again.
It's Friday. Let's go for a company dinner.
Let's go, the one with an interesting looking face.
Great timing. We were just about to leave for dinner.
You should come.
Did something happen last night?
I feel like her moods are unusually good.
Yeah, I've been doubting the same thing the whole day.
It's actually more nerve-wrecking.
What are you doing? Everybody's waiting for you.
Be honest.
What's going on?
Nothing.
You're smiling too much.
So now I can't even smile?
Well because this is not what I'm used to with you.
I just decided to give up on everything.
You know me, I give up pretty easily.
Give up on what?
Lecturing you, being moody, arguing with you, et cetera.
Then is the old Eun Jae when we were dating making a comeback?
The old Eun Jae?
- Was I like this before? - Yes of course!
You were the epitome of coolness.
I'm sorry I couldn't do this earlier.
Of course not.
It's all good now that you know.
You're right.
Yo, you're light as feather these days.
Because I finally got into the stable period of my marriage.
That's great.
You guys were fighting so much I was worried about you.
Wondering if I had to do your divorce papers.
You should get married as soon as possible too. That way you'll grow up.
Coming from the guy who told me not to get married.
Hey hey hey, why on earth would you not do such a great thing like marriage?
- You're late. - I had some things to take care of.
Over there.
- It's been a while. - I know huh?
You look good.
It's because I let everything go.
What's going on? Tell me.
There's nothing to tell. Nothing happened.
- You just got back from court? - Yep.
Is it finally Mr. Noh's hearing today?
- It seems to be so. - Make sure you win, okay?
I want to eat more potatoes.
Okay.
Hey Eun Jae,
call me honey just once.
You're just a year older anyway.
It's because I feel like I'll win if I hear you calling me that.
This is the last time so listen carefully, okay?
Honey!
Ahhhh..love it!
I'll come back as a winner for sure!
You're here Mr. Noh!
- We're not late, are we? - No of course not.
Let's go in.
So the person who lives in Sok-Cho never called?
How could he do this?
I'm telling you, he is doing nothing wrong.
Well then let's go in.
Mr. Noh Chun Shik is currently living in an apartment signed under his daughter Noh Ji Young.
According to rental law regulations written in Chapter 15-2-1,
it is appropriate for him to move out, as he is not the one on the lease.
Can the defendant please give your last defense?
As I was preparing for the defendant's defense,
there is one question that I couldn't quite get out of my head.
What is this rental law that the defendant ended up breaking out of ignorance?
What are the kind of values that the law regulators wanted to protect
whilst making this law.
Is it merely to differentiate between the renter and the subletter?
Or is it to not allow the rich to wrongly speculate real estate?
No, I think not.
The reason this law exists,
are for those people who do not have their own homes.
I would think that the reason for the Korean Housing Corporation's existence
is for this very reason as well.
Please do not just look at a couple of lease papers,
please look into the defendant's life.
Mr. Judge,
would you allow for the defendant to talk about his own life for a moment?
Defendant, please go ahead.
Honorable judges.
I will just speak briefly about myself.
At the time,
when we were signing for the apartment,
my wife was very very sick.
It was right after she collapsed with a brain infraction.
So at the time,
I could not leave the side of my wife even for a moment.
I was afraid that once I step out to get the papers signed, she would die.
So I gave money to my daughter, and had her sign on my behalf.
And if that was a mistake on my part, I guess it was.
But like that after my wife died,
I had no more courage left to live by myself.
If it wasn't for my daughter,
I would say I would've been long gone already.
How can you even say such a thing Father!
It is my only wish,
to be able to spend the rest of my life in this house,
remembering my wife.
I beg of you.
You got it!
The judge asked for a settlement,
they decided to accept.
Does that mean my father can continue to live there?
Yes, they decided to let you re-lease it.
Knowing your situation,
the Korean Housing Corporation decided to take upon all the legal fees as well.
Ah..thank God!
Thank you so much for your help Yeun!
Really, thank you so much!
Father!
Oh no, oh no! I thought I came on time..
There was so much traffic on the highway!
What happened? Is it over?
- Thank you so much! - What are you..
What are you doing? What..
Thank you!
So what happened to the lawsuit?
He is going to be able to live there as is!
Oh that's so great!
- But where is my wife? - I don't know. This came to you.
Why would there be something from the domestic relations court?
