[ Episode 6 ]
Have you eaten?
My gosh!
Gosh! Oh, my gosh...
- What's this?- I asked if you've eaten.
Don't come here. Don't come near me!
Have some.
Have you eaten?
What?
Hello.
Have you eaten?
What's going on?
Why is he showing up in my dream?
It's a bad sign. It's a bad sign.
Sounds like you're touched.
You thought he'd say something mean, but he said that instead.
So you suddenly felt loved,
and it touched you a little bit.
What if you start an office romance?
What about Attorney Kang Ki Seok, then?
- It'd be a love triangle.- Do you want to die?
Don't be so silly.
You're overreacting too.
That's enough, okay?
What's this?
[ Introduction to Civil Law ] What's this book now?
I want to study to become a lawyer. Why?
I'm thinking of doing legal counseling for fun.
Who knows?
I might become the office manager when you become independent.
- Geez.- But not soon because of the slave contract.
That's not the problem.
The issue is whether I'm capable.
What is it now?
I learned after the trial...
that I'm such a pathetic lawyer.
[ Introduction to Civil Law ]
I was completely crushed...
- by Goethe.- How do you think he has a flawless record?
- There must be a reason.- That's why...
I'm going to start really learning.
Good thinking.
Admitting your own loss means...
you're becoming more mature. I like that.
Why don't we celebrate with some drinks tonight?
Okay?
Edgar.
This is my private request.
So it's fine if you can't.
Oh, really?
Thank you so much.
You know, I want your help.
Bye.
You're here.
You're almost like a native speaker.
Don't say that.
I used to work at the FBI as an East Asian consultant.
- FBI?- It wasn't so grandiose or anything.
I informed them about folk culture, tradition, and customs.
You can say that I taught camouflaging techniques as a local.
You mean like a spy? Like James Bond?
Since it's confidential information,
I can't tell you any more. I'm sorry.
- But what brought you...- I can't tell you that either.
It's a secret.
Where's Mr. Ko, by the way?
I think he went into his study for a second.
- Are you looking for him for a reason?- No, it's nothing.
- Have you eaten?- Yes, I have.
I mean, I had food.
- Why don't I bring you some tea then?- Yes.
Hello.
Bob... (sounds like "bop" which means rice)
Bop...
Have you eaten?
Bob...
I have, I have, I have eaten!
You've eaten what?
You're not supposed to eat but listen to music.
Bob Dylan?
Since you're still acting crazy,
you're still in shock from losing the case.
Why don't you go to Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago
and dance with the spirits all night.
- Why?- I'm telling you to wake up!
I'll make sure to work hard from now on.
I'll make sure to win a case against you someday.
To do that, I need to know my opponent.
So I'll make sure to learn from you. So...
just tell me what to do from now on.
Wow...
Did you just use the rare skill in which...
you both insulted me and confessed your love for me?
I don't feel so good about it,
but I hope you work hard from now on.
You thought I'd say that, huh? No.
You want to beat me? You haven't even won once.
Wow, I mean, Mission Impossible's
Tom Hanks and Superman, who turned the earth backward
to save people, would've said "Hyungnim" to you.
- You think you could?- It's not Tom Hanks.
- It's Tom Cruise.- Whether it's Cruise or Hanks,
before I hunt you with a 300-year-old arrow
I got as a gift from a patriarch in Papua New Guinea,
you'd better wrap up your chirpy beak and...
hone your skills. Skills!
If you can't, just clean the toilet.
Squeaky, squeaky, squeaky clean!
Geez. Seriously.
I didn't do anything to deserve applause.
No, that was more than enough!
Whether it was a proxy war or not, you still beat Goethe.
Let's get some drinks tonight.
Wow...
You're like a general who's returned in triumph.
You must be happy, Attorney Kang.
What's this about?
What do you mean?
I used to get yelled at even when I beat
a really good lawyer.
But for defeating a newbie lawyer,
you're celebrated like this. I wonder how that feels.
I came by because I was curious.
- Why don't we talk later if that's all there is.- I'm busy too.
- I was about to leave.- Yes.
What are you doing right now?
I dropped my phone.
Right, it's in my office.
Pretty flowers, General Kang Ki Seok.
- Here's to Attorney Kang!- Attorney Kang!
All right, all right.
This liquor tastes good.
Drinking after winning is the best.
- Don't you think so, Attorney Kang? - Yes.
What's wrong, Attorney Kang? You're the hero.
We're here to celebrate you. Drink up!
Yes, yes.
Drink up. Yes, that's it.
I can't be happier these days.
Did you see that?
Goethe left the courtroom even before the trial ended!
He didn't want me to see him losing.
He was always so arrogant, thinking he's the best.
It's like he was hiding in a mouse hole!
Here, here. Let's have another round.
Raise your glasses.
For Attorney Kang!
Okay.
Okay, drink up.
How nice.
Bottoms up. Bottoms up!
Bottoms up!
How nice!
Here!
Let's drink some more!
Let's drink!
Drink it!
Drink it! Drink it!
Bottoms up, bottoms up!
Drink!
Let's drink!
You can't leave your own party.
Alcohol isn't really my thing.
But Mr. Bang organized this for you.
Don't you think it's kind of rude?
Like someone said,
it's not something to celebrate.
- Who said that?- I'll get going.
Yes.
Could you make some time for me?
What is it this time?
Did CEO Bang tell you to spy on me?
Don't get it twisted already.
You should thank me for getting an apology
- from Judge Do.- You did that for me?
You did that for your own good.
I can't deny that.
So the thing is...
This is the tattoo on the back of his neck.
- Who?- The guy who beat you up.
Why bringing that up?
The trauma...
You know, I almost caught him last time.
You did something useless again.
If you ask Attorney Yoon or CEO Bang,
you'd get his phone number and even his address.
Why are you playing dumb?
I was suspicious at first too. But it's not them.
What's for certain is that no matter who's behind him,
he's trying to fight against you and B&G.
So you mean I was attacked by B&G's enemy.
He attacked my precious flank,
face and seventh rib.
That was to use me?
Don't jump to conclusions like that.
I'll start looking into it.
In order to do that,
we should catch this guy first.
I wondered why Seo Jae In was confused about whether
she's a lawyer or a detective. She learned it from you.
I don't care who's behind it.
I'm not interested at all.
It's all in the past for me.
Geez...
I'm okay.
I also do great impersonations.
This is angry Ppoppi.
This is Ppoppi impersonating a wolf.
♫ Is like a sleepless night ♫
♫ In case my heart doesn’t reach you ♫
♫ I wrote it across the faded sky ♫
♫ When I saw you among all those people ♫
This is great.
Ahjumma! One bottle of soju
and a pike mackerel, please.
I'm buying today, so eat whatever you want.
Let's drink up today!
Cheers!
♫ So I’m trying to tell you ♫
♫ Isn’t it the same? Don’t you feel the same as me? ♫
♫ I haven’t shown you anything yet ♫
Hey, you can't cancel on me now.
- I'm almost there.- I'm sorry.
You know my dad's temper.
He said he'll close down the cafe if I don't come tonight.
Please help me.
- Bye.- Hey...
Seriously, that girl...
Welcome!
Ki Seok!
Are you drinking alone?
Am I drunk?
- I'm hallucinating now.- Hallucinating?
It's not a hallucination. It's real.
I'm Seo Jae In, Attorney Kang Ki Seok.
Is it really you, Jae In?
What?
Did something happen?
Why did you drink so much?
Yes, something did happen.
Everyone congratulated me today.
For defeating you.
Isn't it funny?
I got a really big bouquet as a present too.
- How did you get this photo...- It was a present.
For winning the trial.
I felt so proud
and tried to declare war to Sunbae, but...
- he totally got me.- By Sunbae, you mean...
- Mr. Ko?- Yes.
No way, I definitely gave this back to Hong Min Cheol.
That's why he's Ko Tae Rim!
He's always looming over your head,
and he attacks when you least expect it.
So you can't escape anywhere.
Wow. I feel attacked right now too.
But I feel thankful too.
If I hadn't known about this photo,
I would've embarrassed myself in front of you.
I'm the one who embarrassed myself.
I'd been wondering if I should trust my client or not
during the whole trial.
Are you trying to console me?
I'm not consoling you.
Regardless of who won,
things worked out the way you wanted.
Choi Hyun Ji called him and said she won't receive any compensation.
Her wedding date has been set too.
It's the "win-win" situation you mentioned.
So you're consoling me!
- I said that I'm not. - Hey.
Hold on.
From now on...
should we be friends instead of lawyers?
Yes, sounds good.
- Let's be friends.- Great.
I'm asking you as a friend then.
Don't you regret giving up on winning the trial?
Not at all.
I can't explain it,
but I learned something more important than winning.
Something important?
You think so?
I'll ask you something too.
Why did you want to challenge Mr. Ko by joining B&G?
You could've joined other law firms.
That is...
because...
only Sunbae can validate me.
To become Attorney Kang Ki Seok,
instead of Ko Tae Rim's student,
it was something that couldn't be avoided.
I'm so selfish, aren't I?
No.
I think I can understand a little bit.
Anyway...
I lost.
I completely lost.
So, let's stop talking about the past.
And have a shot as friends.
Here.
Cheers!
What's this?
Ki Seok!
Ki Seok. What should I do?
I didn't even have a shot yet.
Hold on...
Ki Seok!
- Mr. Koo.- Oh.
Are you awake now?
Do you have any honey water?
Yes, I'll bring it right away.
Why am I here...
Excuse me.
I don't remember what happened last night.
Why am I here?
You want to blame it on alcohol?
You broke in last night and also disrupted my sleep.
Hello.
- Ki Seok, did you sleep well?- Yes...
Jae In, were we...
- at the bar...- Yes.
I had to bring you here because you were so drunk.
I'm sorry.
Is this a hotel or something?
Why bring a random person to sleep here?
He's not a random person.
He used to be your favorite student.
Who? Who's my favorite student?
I'll deduct the lodging expenses from your paycheck.
Go ahead.
What's the difference between 15 years and three months and four months?
Why don't you charge me for the breakfasts too?
- Here you go.- Yes.
Thank you.
You didn't put royal jelly in there, did you?
Geez, don't be so stingy.
How tasty.
You're a great cook as always.
- I missed your cooking.- Thank you.
Do you call it "longing" when a polar bear smacks his lips
while worrying about an Antarctic penguin?
You're still as crooked as teenagers'
selfie angles.
Losers like you think that way about all the geniuses
who accomplished great things in their lives.
I prefer being an ordinary person.
That way, you can understand and communicate
with the clients better.
Incompetent lawyers who get slapped by their clients
after losing always say stuff like that to justify themselves.
Wouldn't that be better than rudely disregarding the tearful client
paying the expensive fee after winning?
That's enough!
Why don't you stop arguing and just eat?
We're still friends because you're not wearing a tie.
You're right.
Anyway, I'm so sorry about last night.
But I got to see Mr. Koo and Sunbae.
It was nice.
That's nothing compared to what I've done to you.
Why don't we forget about each other's dark pasts?
Sounds good. That's what I wanted too.
But let me just do this one last time...
- Ki Seok!- I'll get going.
And I want you to have this.
It's proof of your first win.
I didn't win. No way.
But I'll throw it away since that's what my client wanted.
It felt like you were back to your old selves. It was nice.
You used to argue with Attorney Kang like that while eating.
You used to drink all night and
have a good time when you won a trial.
He tainted the good memories like that too.
Yes, Edgar.
What?
Really? You sent it?
Oh, good! Thank you so much.
I don't forget your help.
Never.
Yeah.
Why don't we go over there?
Since the police station incident,
I requested a graphic recovery, hoping that it'd help.
Apparently, they managed to succeed.
This isn't him.
- This isn't Byung Tae, right?- No, it's not.
Thank you!
Thank you, Mr. Koo!
Be quiet!
- What are you doing right now?- It's not him!
- Byung Tae isn't the culprit! - So you won't be picking up garbage anymore.
You've been up to this looking like a goldfish all this time?
Put vision test charts on the backs of the 3,780 goats
in Mongolia field and chase after them!
He doesn't look like him at all.
I sent it to the police department for now.
It was the same guy.
- What do you think?- Wow.
It's amazing.
You're truly an artist.
I'm glad you're satisfied.
Thank you, sir.

[ Civil Law ]♫ Moonlight, Sha-la-la. ♫
♫ I want all of them! ♫
♫ Oh, my Luna Star ♫
This song right now...
Whose song is it?
I asked whose song this is!
This song.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Please calm down. What's the matter?
I was robbed.
This song that's playing right now is mine!
You mean...
they plagiarized?
It'll be a copyright lawsuit then.
[ Civil Law Counseling ]
Should the two of us talk somewhere?
Or the three of us?
Syrup!
Yummy.
I think this is better.
I'm Andromeda Sophia, the vocalist.
I'm Django Django Antonio, the guitarist.
Why not Titanic DiCaprio or Uranus Hathaway?
We're called "Self-explosive Souls."
The song I wrote was stolen.
Her song was plagiarized.
A copyright lawsuit.
Why is she here?
I'm the one who brought you the case.
I wanted to help and repay you for the police station incident.
Since when did our firm get reduced to this that we have to
take pathetic cases like this?
It's because someone lost.
Who stole the song from you then?
I had no idea Lunar Star would be this popular.
Never, never dreamt.
I had no idea.
It's all thanks to Sweet Girls, who've been
practicing hard, and our fans.
I love you, everybody.
I'd like to thank the genius songwriter
James Park, who gave us
an amazing song.
We love you, dear fans!
Get out.
You want to sue them for an idol group's song?
This is not the kind of law firm that
takes hard-earned pennies from kids. Get out.
I said, get out!
What's this? You said they'd take the case!
What's wrong with you?
How dare you take us to this trashy place?
- What? Trashy? - Let's go.
Sweet Girls is...
- not only popular in Japan and China...- Excuse me.
- What?- They're also very popular in Southeast Asia.
- I heard they sold millions of records...- Stop!
Stop, stop, stop.
- Whoa. - So...
we'll make an exception this time.
- You told us to get out.- I was testing your rocker spirit.
I only work with real rockers.
Let's sit down and talk.
Here, here.
So you mean that song just now was yours?
The title of the song is "Lunar Star."
The original title is "Crazy Love in Andromeda."
Andromeda?
They copied it from beginning to end.
Let's listen to the song first.
♫ Get out of my face ♫
♫ Go away! ♫
♫ All of your traces ♫
♫ Welcome to hell ♫
♫ I'll pay you back for making me cry ♫
♫ I'll make sure you pay for it ♫
♫ You'll pay ♫
♫ You make me crazy ♫
So loud!
There's nothing similar.
Tell them that no one would steal their song!
Goldfish? Chirp-chirp?
Seo Jae In?
♫ The stars or the moon ♫
♫ I don't need them ♫
♫ Andromeda ♫
♫ The bloody pus of love that I sent off to space ♫
♫ Black bat, crazy love, Andromeda ♫
♫ Stupid love and regrets, send it far, far away ♫
♫ Trashy love ♫
- They totally plagiarized!- What?
What did you say?
♫ Black bat, crazy love ♫
♫ Andromeda ♫
♫ Stupid love and regrets, send it far, far away ♫
♫ Trashy love ♫
Yeah!
The last couple of lines were...
- D to A right?- It's D to A minor.
D to A minor?
Here it is.
You wrote down the music as soon as you heard it.
I used to be a folk singer at
Myungdong's C'est Si Bon.
♫ C'est Si Bon... ♫
♫ The sound that resonates ♫
C'est Si Bon...
It was hard to compare since Sophiadidn't sing according to the score.
But they're very similar if you compare the scores like this.
Sir, we're taking this case, right?
How will you pay the fee, by the way?
We're kind of expensive.
We can pay around 500,000 won.
Stop joking around.
They remind me of you-know-who.
That's a lot of money for them.
It'll be in the news since James Park is famous.
And I think it'll help us get future clients
in the entertainment industry.
We'll take the case for now.
We don't need the fee.
You won't charge them?
Instead, if we win the suit for damages,
we'll take half of the compensation as a contingency.
But that's too much.
Sounds good. Thank you.
Let's destroy James Park, then.
Prepare the paperwork, ribbit-ribbit.
Ribbit? A frog?
I'm not a tadpole anymore.
You liked that?
No.
I didn't like that.
How annoying.
CEO Bang.
- CEO Bang!- Hey! Go away.
I'm sorry...
This is a very urgent matter.
You know James Park, the famous songwriter?
D-Fox Entertainment. They're incommon agreement with us.
They're being sued.
Why?
I told you to do it properly.
I told you to make "Goethe defeated" the headline!
I sort of did...
Did you?
I heard everything from Reporter Yang just now.
You drunkenly said...
"Defeating a newbie is not newsworthy."
You're going to die today!
Hold on, hold on!
That's not important right now.
I'll get beaten later.
- Goethe is...- I already got a phone call!
Is that so?
That bastard...
This time, we have to...
We really have to win.
♫ The stars or the moon ♫
♫ I don't need them, Andromeda ♫
♫ The bloody pus of love that I sent off to space ♫
♫ Black bat, crazy love... ♫
All I hear is a monkey in heat.
You think so?
It was kind of amateurish, but it was better than I expected.
But of course, they're trying to gain publicity
by suing famous people like you, James Park.
There have been many like them, right?
Yes, dirty.
Honestly, I don't even want to deal with them.
What kind of lawyer would engage in something like this?
There's one person.
He's like a thug who's pretending to be a lawyer.
Hyena. Dirty.
I'm sure you'll take this case. Right, CEO Bang?
Please let me take it.
This is my forte.
I can win an intellectual property rights case solely based on my experience.
It's not for my personal revenge.
I want to return you the favor.
I'll put my neck on the line for this.
You already sacrificed your head and wrists the last time and ran away.
You said you have a lot of regrets.
You said you want to live a long and safe life.
It's really different this time.
I'll consider it the case of my life as a lawyer...
Hello.
It's a ranking regarding copyright lawsuits.
Attorney Jung was indeed No. 1 based on experience and the win rate.
Let's see.
Yoon Sang Koo... Yoon Sang Koo...
You're No. 25 out of 30 people.
No way. That doesn't make sense.
The weight must've been calculated wrong.
That's possible.
I only looked at the past three years.
Yes, I thought so.
I used to be great three years ago.
What happened afterward?
You were busy gambling and losing money.
You lost all your money. All of it.
Why are you bringing up my past?
Get out. Get out!
Why are you bothering me when I'm already stressed?
Get out!
Should I get Attorney Jung ready?
The opponent is Goethe.
Do you think following standard procedure will do?
The plagiarism lawsuit.
- Did they assign it to you? - Not sure.
I was just asked to come in.
What should I do?
If you want it, should I recommend you?
Nah. No, no, no.
- You don't have a "saying" today? - No, I don't.
How come you don't have a "saying" from Africa today?
That's right.
You must be scared.
You'll be taking on the real thing.
Your head must be spinning.
You'll be scared.
Go, Goethe! Goethe, stay strong!
Destroy him, Goethe! Goethe!
Our opponent is B&G, and for this sizable lawsuit...
CEO Bang will be present, right?
Excuse me, Attorney.
Whoa! What is that?
Why disrupt my peaceful skincare session?
It's so moist.
This trial is more important than your skin.
- Their attorney in charge is... - That man?
He'll never do it.
Since he knows I'll beat him,
he'll send any sacrificial lamb
and fire them if they lose.
Attorney!
This mail is from B&G.
Who's the attorney in charge?
[ Attorney: Kang Ki Seok ]
Kang Ki Seok.
Ki Seok is the sacrificial lamb.
We'll finally see the destruction of the overly ambitious.
But you spent two years together.
Two years or 15 years. Doesn't matter. A foe is a foe.
I'm not too surprised.
That's why you gave Ki Seok this photo as a "victory" gift.
You won't allow even a brief moment of victory, right?
You're bothered, right?
No. It's the opposite.
I've always dreamed of this moment.
There's a saying in Africa...
Regardless,
things will get decided this time.
- What if you lose? - If I lose...
then I'll be useless to B&G.
I wasn't going to stay long anyway.
I came here because I wanted to take on Ko sunbae.
Win, win.
If everyone gets what they want, that's that.
If you feel that way.
Why ask me the obvious conclusion?
I'm sick of getting harassed by old men who
say I paid a youngster too much.
I realized something today.
When I said I'd bring Attorney Kang...
why you readily agreed.
You didn't even look at his victory rate.
The first time I saw Goethe...
his eyes were different.
My heart completely sank.
But I don't feel anything from Attorney Kang.
You wanted to created this scenario.
Knowing that Goethe will rattle himself.
He puts on a show...
in front of me, calling
Kang Ki Seok a bastard.
But I can see right through him.
He can't stand seeing someone else
play with his trash.
Whether he loves him or not...
that's his baby.
Goethe is also your baby.
That's why I strive even harder.
Don't you know that?
Because I raised him wrong,
I must destroy him...
as my repentance.
If he wins against his baby,
Kang Ki Seok will be branded as a pathetic lawyer
who can't win even though
he was retained at a high price.
Then who will...
even look at him?
James Park's real name is Park Nam Bong...
Pronounce it correctly!
It's not Nan Bong.
It's Nam. Nam Bong!
Okay, please settle down.
Counsel, please continue.
Yes.
The song "Luna Star," written and composed by Park Nam Bong,
is plagiarized from a song
written and composed by "Andromeda Sophia,"
AKA Son Hye Jung, "Crazy Love in Andromeda."
We ask that all sales of the song be stopped,
and 70% of all its profits be awarded
from Park Nam Bong and D-Fox Entertainment.
The approximate amount is
29.5 billion won.
Liar!
Foremost, we can state that the songs have similar structures.
For example, a verse from "Luna Star."
"I'll pluck the stars and even the moon for you, oh my Luna Star."
"The signal which the universehas sent only for me."
And in "Crazy Love in Andromeda," it says, "I don't want any stars or the moon."
"Andromeda, I don't need them."
"My bloody pus of love, which I sent off to space."
If you look at the infamous chorus part,
In "Luna Star," it says, "Cute bunny, bunny, bunny."
"My heart is trembling from the moon, what will you do?"
"I don't know. Oh my, oh my, oh my Luna Star."
But in "Crazy Love in Andromeda," it says,
"A black bat, bat, bat. Andromeda's crazy love."
"Cast off any regrets from pathetic love as trash, far, far, away."
It's been completely plagiarized.
It's not just the lyrics.
The melodies are also very similar.
On the left is the music sheet for "Crazy Love in Andromeda."
If you compare it to "Luna Star," which is next to it,
here, here, here, here.
You'll see that there are many similar parts.
- Is that right? - They're identical.
Then could you please sing them?
Okay. I'll get started then.
♫ Star, star, star ♫
♫ The stars and the moon go boink ♫
♫ Boink, boink, can you get it for me ♫
♫ Oh my Luna Star ♫
♫ My heart is going boink boink ♫
♫ The universe's signal for only me ♫
♫ The cute... ♫
♫ Bunny, bunny, bunny ♫ Hang on, please.
The song you just sang is "Luna Star," yes?
Yes, "Luna Star."
♫ From the moon, boink, boink ♫
♫ Boink, my heart is bursting ♫
Pardon me.
Can you please sing according to the music sheet?
I am singing from the music sheet.
♫ The tears are boink, boink, boink from the moon ♫
♫ What will you do about these tears ♫
♫ My signal, which is only for me ♫
♫ Luna Star ♫
This functional graph shows the
two songs' melodies mathematically analyzed.
"Luna Star" is X,
and "Crazy Love in Andromeda" is Y.
We calculated their common points.
Oh, I see.
If we show this as a percentage,
it's 33.7%.
This means that only 1/3 of the two melodies are aligned.
In the past, the songs which were deemed to be have plagiarized
were at 50% or higher.
I don't think we can trust this method of calculation.
- Regarding the functional graph... - Plaintiff's counsel, please be quiet.
Your Honor.
There's a saying in Kenya, Africa.
"The puma doesn't envy the leopard's spots."
Because it's not hunted for its spots.
It's human nature to covet beauty. But...
shouldn't we know that it can bring us harm?
Welcome back.
How was the trial?
We're fighting hard.
- It's your fault. It's you! - What?
- What about me? - You really don't know?
You don't feel anything at all?
What? What do you mean?
Never mind. It's my fault for asking you to do it.
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
Gosh, looks good.
Looks like you self-destructed and only ashes remain.
Don't you know GAP? GAP?
[ GAP - The difference between wearing makeup and not wearing any ]
So, what's up?
Up next is your verbal testimony.
- That's what I wanted. - Please dress formally. Please.
- Let's prove the basis. - The basis?
What's that?
The main elements of plagiarism are the basis and the similarities.
The basis states that they used the original song as a "base."
Please think about whether you'd hadany contact with James Park.
I hadn't.
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
We just need to prove that James Park had been exposed to your music.
Perhaps he came to my live performances discreetly?
That would be hard to prove.
Oh! I'm sure he heard it online.
We looked into it, but there are only a few downloads.
That would also be hard to prove.
I don't know then. Asking me won't get you the answer.
How about this?
To promote your band, you sent James Park your song.
An email or a USB.
- Did you? - No way.
- You did.- I said, I didn't!
Let's say you did. James receives thousands a day.
He doesn't even listen,and they get tossed.
No!
My punk rocker's pride won't allow it!
Okay, then let's do this.
Either your family, distant relatives,
or one of your friends sent it.
To support you. Because you're struggling so badly.
Attorney!
We, we can't? We can't, right?
Okay, got it. My apologies.
This is the...
first time I've heard of the "Self-Destructive Souls" band.
First time.
Then you haven't heard the song either, right?
Never, never listened.
Of course not. Even if I hear a song once, I remember it.
No wonder they call him a genius.
Then let me ask you.
What do you think about this lawsuit?
"Luna Star" has become a huge hit
not only in Korea but in China and Japan, too.
Big hit.
It's a new wind in our stagnant music industry
and is now leading the Hallyu wave.
New wind!
And this great song is plagiarism?
This is heartbreaking not only personally, but also from a national standpoint.
Break my heart.
That's all.
She's not here yet?
No.
Cross examine.
- To buy more time. - What?
Okay.
I'm Andromeda Sophia, a punk rocker.
Please state your real name.
I'm Son Hye Jung.
What did you think when you first heard "Luna Star"?
I immediately thought that I'd been robbed.
If you look at all his previous songs, you get the idea.
It's always about streetlamps or tears,
tree leaves or nostalgia.
But all of a sudden, space? It doesn't make sense!
Don't nitpick.
James Park has always made a variety of songs.
The defense, please don't make any outbursts.
Sophia, do you know a pop song called, "Moonlight Highway"?
No.
What about the French song, "Moonlight Seine River"?
I don't know.
Both songs have the same theme.
Creativity could come anywhere, from a childhood lullaby
up to the current moment.
Whether it's conscious or subconscious,
all the countless music you've heard keeps piling up,
and it happens in a moment...
and sprouts forth.
As James Park here has stated.
Sophia, you may have heard these two songs before.
And they were the bases for your creation.
But even so...
no one calls it plagiarism.
Mine is the original!
There's a saying in Mozambique, Africa.
"The tears I shed in the Zambezi River now flow like the river."
I don't know any Zambezi,
but it's my song. Mine!
You. Give me back my song.
I said, give me my song back!
- It's mine. Give it back! - Please calm down.
- If you don't, you'll be escorted out.- Be quiet!
Give it back!
Give it back. Give back my song! You stole it!

How will you win this case?
No need to be suspicious. I'm trying to help.
If Attorney Kang loses, he'll get kicked out of B&G.
In a word, he'll be annihilated.
I really, really, really, really, really, really, hate that punk.
I just...
hate him.
You owe me one.
I knew he'd mess things up.
Are you even thinking?
Who sings in a courtroom?
I thought it was pleasant.
It was a masterpiece.
Attorney!
And Sophia, I asked you to dress formally.
I did it. I told her to dress like a rocker.
- Rock spirit! - Spirit!
Why did you tell her that?
You know how conservative the bench members are.
And this presiding judge is especially more so!
I mean, is that courtroom attire?
It is, for now.
[ Attorney Yoon Sang Koo ]
I'm here.
What is this?
Hey.
What are you doing right now? Huh?
What is this?
What the heck?
Put me down!
Let go! I'm Yoon Sang Koo. Let me go!
Do you want to get fired?
I'll remember your faces.
I saw both of your faces.
You're both axed.
What is it? What, what, what?
What is that?
What is it?
Take a look.
54.2%.
It is plagiarism.
Plagiarism.
Whoa, what is it?
Oh, this.
I was curious, so
I asked some tech people to run this.
I'm the only one who saw this.
He already saw you give Jae In this info earlier.
The melody, chords, rhythm, beat,
tempo, lyrics, and etc.
For songs, there are too many variations to analyze them mathematically.
One of them states 58%.
One of them states 47%.
And there's the 33% one, which I used today in court.
A slight variation of the factors
can alter the percentages.
In a word, if the basis is not proved...
these things can't validate anything.
So it doesn't matter that Goethe has this?
It could actually help us.
Yoon Sang Koo.
Yes, CEO. Did you ask for me?
This doesn't mean...
that you're forgiven for your actions.
Got it?
You picked up trash again.
Why is that trash?
The graph's percentage is over 50%.
You're so gullible. You believe anything.
Then, were they intentionally...
Whether it was intentional or not,that won't help us win this case.
He's hiding something...
So he keeps averting attention elsewhere?
Kang Ki Seok.
Keep spinning your wits.
You're still in the palm of my hand.
Mr. Koo.
If Ki Seok loses this trial, what'll happen to him?
Will B&G fire him, or will he be
blacklisted by the industry? Nothing absurd, right?
Well...
In the worst case scenario, that will happen.
What? To that extent?
Our industry's really...
brutal when it comes to reputations.
[ B&G Law FirmAttorney Kang Ki Seok ]
Fantastic.
CEO Bang said that you're the ace.
You're amazing, Attorney Kang.
- Amazing. - Please, don't mention it.
No need for humility.
Even I know who the opposing attorney is.
I hear he's never been defeated.
Our Attorney Kang will finally deliver his first loss.
Well...
that's why I'm telling you this.
Sir, why don't we hold an interview?
Mr. James, a word, please.
What do the Sweet Girls think of this lawsuit?
Our apologies for making our fans worry over something like this.
For our song "Luna Star," we hope this gets resolved in a positive manner.
The owner of this song is...
all of our fans.
Asking for money not knowing this,
is an insult to the fans and to the song.
Sad. Very sad.
They beat us to it.
Well, he is your star pupil.
Who's my star pupil?
If a parrot mimics a song, is it a singer?
The public opinion on the internet
these days is not good.
But it has nothing to do with the trial.
Well, I think things are different from before.
Here are some posts by the fans of the Sweet Girls.
"Self-Destructive Souls insulted Sweet Girls to
promote themselves. They should disappear.
We should kill the money-hungry lawyer first.
"Let's ambush his office!"
Attorney, they even included a map.
What the?
These words are too dirty to say out loud.
They're saying they'll kill us.
No need to be scared of a rock.
Call the police, the police!
Tell them it's a terrorist attack!
Tell them to send the Special Forces!
Please, Mr. Ko. Call them now!
♫ The stars and the moon... ♫
Who the heck is it? Show yourself!
Show yourself! Don't be a coward and come forward!
I said, come forward and don't be a coward!
Stop it!
Don't.
There's a terror threat, and the police aren't here.
Does this make any sense?
Must you go around like that?
Yes. What's going on?
I want to withdraw this lawsuit.
What? Sophia, please reconsider.
This is what the other side wants.
Aside from us, we heard you were attacked, too.
You said you're a rocker.
Is this all your rock spirit amounts to?
Forget it then!
Your makeup may have been wild,
but have zero spirit of resistance to reform the society.
You were fakes, huh?
Sophia's afraid you'll all get hurt.
Bring it on!
Whether it's a rock or a boulder, bring it.
Attorney!
- Attorney! - Attorney...
- Are you okay? Remove this rock! - Okay!
Attorney!
- We'll do it. - We'll fight till the end!
I won't.
I can't!
I'm scared!
[ Die! Be ruined! ]
[ Self-Destructive Souls ]
[ Ko Tae Rim, die! ]
Attorney.
You should evacuate temporarily.
What?
At least until the trial ends.
This recommendation comes from the police.
[ Sweet Girls Fans Enraged ]
[ A lawsuit for noise marketing. Is this good? ]
Sunbae, what will you do now?
What is he doing?
Oh, you're up.
Good morning!
Good morning?
How can you say "Good morning"?
Your cheap sofa will give me back problems,
and this space is so cramped and tiny. And whoa!
Those cockroaches scurrying around.
How can you live in a dump like this?
I've been living here just fine.
You're crashing here, so watch your mouth.
I know why you had the stench of doom
and filth on your soul now.
It's better than being a money whore such as yourself!
Of course, it is.
Aigoo, it's the honorable Judge Song.
It's been a while, Mr. Koo.
It's the first time since the charity marathon three years ago.
Yes, it is.
Attorney Ko. This is my house.
If you're not happy, should we duke it out?
Mr. Koo, what's Judge Song's and chirp-chirp's...
I mean, Seo Jae In's relationship?
I know them as a landlord and a tenant.
You knew this, yet you didn't tell me?
Why? If you had known...
would you have kicked out Jae In?
Of course not.
Jae In, you could've come downstairs. You slept here with them?
It was so late.
Regardless, it looks like you needed to sleep here.
But if you're going to moan and complain...
then pack your bags.
Upon closer inspection, this house is quite charming.
The sofa is fluffy and the space is cozy.
And it's nature-friendly, so bugs crawl around.
You must be happy.
Lay low.
Who knows what'll happen if they see us.
Okay.
There they are! Get them!
I told you we shouldn't do this.
You accepted this case for the compensation!
- What the heck? What's going on?- Get them!

[ Legal High ]
Everyone in the industry already knows.
These are the ghostwriters under Mr. James.
Ghostwriters write the songs instead, right?
No, never. Of course I don't.
So who brought you Self-Destructive Soul's song?
That Antonio called earlier.
He's discovered something important.
In some Idol's song, there's something about
a handstand under the Joshua Tree.
Those lyrics are from our song three years ago.
So James Park has been referencing your songs since three years ago.
I didn't write that song. Charlotte did.
- Char... - Lotte?
Why tell me this now?
Give me this Charlotte's phone number.
Mr. Ko, step on it full speed.
