Which case are you working on?
I'm going through the case file for the trial tomorrow.
It's the guy who's suffering from depression because of his job.
My gosh.
You don't look so well yourself.
Are you all right? It looks like you have a bad cold.
I'm okay.
Did you get sick because you slept so uncomfortably that night?
-Because of my aunts... -No, not at all. I slept well.
Judge Jung managed to run away in the middle of it,
but they made you stay all night.
I saw him in the morning. It seemed like his stomach is still upset.
He ate way too much.
You know the stenographer in Department 44, right?
-The girl with a sexy face? -Yes.
She always looks grumpy.
So you know. She's like a celebrity here.
She does stand out, you know.
I actually saw her in Gangnam last night.
She was in a fiery red sports car. Even her car is sexy.
She looked like a totally different person.
-I guess she was going to work. -Work?
Rumors say that she has a side hustle that she does at night.
-What? -Apparently,
she tells people confidently that she has a nighttime job.
"Confidently"? Goodness.
Right, she can't afford that car and those clothes with what she makes.
-Gosh, that's dirty. -I feel bad for her.
Oh, boy. Why can't I stop?
Hi, Bo Wang. I didn't know you were in there.
-Sir... -I got it. It's okay.
Take care.
Are you okay?
I'm not hurt, but my heart is.
Pardon me?
What's wrong with him?
You must be somewhat attracted to him too.
Gosh, I told you that I'm not.
Judge Im is a really great senior colleague,
and he always helps me out so much,
so I'm very grateful to him, but...
No, he's not my type.
-Judge Im. -Yes?
Don't you think Judge Jung is having a hard time alone?
-Because of Ms. Lee? -Yes.
It's so obvious.
But she's so chic that it seems he has a hard time talking to her.
She always leaves first too.
Bo Wang isn't an adolescent.
He doesn't care about every detail.
Is that so?
Hello? Yong Jun?
Stop barging in like that.
What was with that bag? You embarrassed me so much.
I let it go that time because my aunts were so excited.
I'll return them to you in mail, so take them back.
What? In person?
Okay.
I'm busy, so let's talk later. Bye.
My goodness.
I'm sorry for being loud at work.
Why does he keep calling me for pointless things?
You don't have to explain.
-Pardon me? -You don't owe me any explanation.
I'm just your right-seat judge.
Goodness, what is Bo Wang up to?
If he likes her, he shouldn't hesitate,
and at least take her to a stationary store and say,
"I'll buy you everything from here to there."
Pardon me?
Gosh, my throat hurts.
Are there any cold drinks in the fridge?
Does she think that she's my type?
I don't know about before but not anymore.
Now she's the type that I detest.
How did I...
"Detest"?
Did you say "detest"?
-Me? -No way.
There's a lawyer who writes long, annoying preparatory pleadings.
I thought you said that you detested me.
Young people are strange these days.
Why do you keep...
mumbling to yourself?
Who used up all the paper towels?
Judge Park, you have a case related to compulsory execution.
Thank you.
Judge Park.
Are you wearing perfume?
That's strange.
It's because I got some as a present.
Doesn't it smell nice?
Why don't you go home early tonight?
You seem tired.
I'll be fine.
I'm getting off work.
Bye.
Did you harass my son?
Look at him.
Is he alive or dead to you?
Let me go.
As a manager, I led my team on behalf of my company.
What did you say?
Please sit down. You're in the courtroom.
It's your son who damaged our teamwork.
How will he survive at work when he's so weak?
You jerk, look what you turned him into.
How dare you say that?
That's enough, everyone.
I understand how you feel.
However, we're in the courtroom. Have a seat.
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry, Your Honor.
Your Honor, the plaintiff believes that the manager's brutality...
turned Lee Young Soo that way.
There's no such evidence or fact to support their argument.
What do you mean?
Your Honor, my son is thorough.
He keeps a diary.
On the day of the event,
he wrote what they did to him in his diary.
Please show it to him.
I will repeat myself, Your Honor.
There was no physical nor verbal abuse.
How can you say that when he treated him like a fool?
Isn't that normal at a workplace in Korea?
The president of my law firm scolds me every night.
It's because you deserve it.
My goodness.
Young Soo.
Your Honor, Defendant Wooil Group,
has no legal responsibility.
I'd like to emphasize that the cause of this case...
is Lee Young Soo's introverted character and personal issues.
How could you say that after making him that way?
-However... -What?
Considering the corporation's social responsibility,
unrelated to legal responsibility,
we're willing to offer a small compensation to Lee Young Soo.
"Compensation"? We don't need that.
It's in consideration for someone who was part of Wooil Group.
Your Honor, please keep this in mind.
Appoint a date for revision.
I hope the conciliation will be effective and smooth.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
I mean the Wooil Group's employee who tried to commit suicide.
Look.
He graduated from a top university.
He works at a big corporation.
He has a beautiful wife and a daughter.
Why would he do that when he has a lot to lose?
You never know what's on people's mind.
Not from the outside.
Judge Im will proceed with the conciliation.
He'll find out what's going on.
I wonder how his parents feel.
Their proud son whom they worked hard to raise.
In one moment...
Was it in one moment?
When I think about how their parents might feel,
I feel bad.
Who put him in such a state?
Whoever it is deserves a beating.
He tried to commit suicide in his studio apartment.
He survived, but hurt his muscles and can't use his arms anymore.
He also has serious depression.
He isn't communicating with anyone.
I feel guilty for some reason.
Guilty?
Yes, isn't it strange?
I don't feel guilty when I see autopsy photos.
Reading someone else's mind...
is harder.
I don't know if it's okay.
"Who killed Cock Robin?"
"'I', said the Sparrow,"
"'with my bow and arrow, '"
"'I killed Cock Robin.'"
I'll listen to each one of you to proceed smoothly.
Except for the manager,
everyone else should wait outside.
You're Plaintiff Lee Young Soo's direct boss.
-You're the manager. -That's correct.
Have you reproached him for missing department's dinner?
Reproach him?
No one reproaches anyone for missing a company dinner.
Look at him.
You don't have basic manners as part of an organization.
I'm sorry, sir.
-I don't feel well. -Turn in a doctor's notes first.
Department dinners...
is an extension of your work.
How dare you try to act as an individual?
That was...
I was scolding him a little.
To help him realize that teamwork is essential in an organization...
"Teamwork is essential."
I see. That's why the color of the shirt must be the same.
What do you mean?
Can't you see?
Or are you tactless?
Look around you and see what everyone else is wearing.
At the best company, your attire must be neat.
Do you want to stand out so badly?
Is that how you make up for...
your incompetence?
Gosh, I'm scared.
You're glaring at me. Did you all see that?
Everyone from your hometown is so scary. Gosh, you scare me.
You studied business administration in the USA, right?
Yes.
Do you think something like this would happen...
at the leading companies in the US too?
We're a second mover who has to run desperately...
to catch up with the front runner.
We need a different organization culture than an American company.
Do you mean, for example,
the candle ceremony for the chairman...
during the executive workshop?
We solemnly vow to devote ourselves...
to Wooil Group's prosperity...
in front of the chairman.
-We vow our devotion! -We vow our devotion!
We vow our devotion!
Sir, we love and respect you.
Wasn't it difficult for someone who holds a doctoral degree from MIT?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I see.
What do you think is the implication of this incident?
It clearly shows that...
a good student doesn't always make...
a good employee.
Having the right personality is more important.
Is that why you make all new employees...
run a full marathon every week during their training period...
until there are no dropouts?
That's right.
Would this person be considered as a dropout by your company?
"I started analyzing new funds."
"They're profitable for the company but risky for the clients."
"I submitted my new fund analysis report."
"The whole team is suffering because of you."
"You're like a cancer in this team."
"I heard that you might be fired for your low performance."
But it's helping me achieve what I really want to do.
Oh, being a court stenographer?
What is it that you want to do?
If I tell you, you'll be surprised.
Well, what is it?
I've never told anyone about it before.
So why did I tell him?
Ms. Lee.
Yes, sir.
This is the first time I've caught you daydreaming.
I was wondering...
if a package has arrived for me.
I received it and put it on the right side of your desk.
200 capsules of prostate medication.
Why did you check what it was?
It was written in large letters on the envelope.
I see.
It's for my father-in-law.
He's been having trouble peeing.
It takes hard work to be a good son-in-law.
Presiding Judge Han,
it might be a good idea to start peeing sitting down.
It's cleaner that way.
Is that so?
I should give it a try.
Our son should have worked for the government...
just like you.
What was your son's favorite subject in high school?
-Sorry? -Did he like...
literature?
I think he did.
What does that have to do with this?
I found many poems and foreign children's song lyrics...
in his notebook.
Why are you bringing that up?
Didn't he dream of majoring in Korean or English literature?
That was probably...
just a childish whim.
Also, you can do that as a hobby after you become successful.
You work for a bank, right?
Yes.
May I ask what your major was in college?
I majored in law.
But I never passed the bar exam.
Were you hoping your son would pursue that path for you?
His high school...
also said he could only apply for a business school or a law school.
Their top student becoming a literature major...
must not help their reputation.
Your Honor.
Since he was 12,
he spent all day taking different private classes.
How could we let him major in Korean literature?
He did enter a law school,
but he never passed the bar exam, right?
But it all turned out well in the end.
He got into the top-ranked company so easily.
He is a smart kid after all.
My precious son.
You were so worried about him that you often called his boss, right?
What?
You're Lee Young Soo's mother?
Sir.
-How can you do this? -Pardon?
I already told you that my son is not very strong.
He shouldn't keep working late like this.
The whole team is tied up with work.
If you keep calling me at work,
it'll make me uncomfortable.
Think of why I'm doing this.
I'm just worried as his mom. Please try to understand me.
I'm hanging up.
That's what the team manager's report says.
You visited your son at work too.
Hello. I'm Young Soo's mom.
I bought this on my way here. Please help yourselves.
And please help Young Soo a lot.
Mom.
He's a nice kid, but he can be a bit inflexible.
Please help him out a lot.
Please help him out.
He is a treasured child in our family.
It's only natural that his mom is concerned.
Family's expectations are a scary thing.
When I go back to my hometown,
do you know what they call me?
Take a guess.
I'm not sure.
They call me Judge Maeng.
Now that I'm working at the court in Seoul,
my parents have told everyone in my hometown that I'm a judge.
My goodness.
At first, when someone called me Judge Maeng,
I corrected them.
But these days,
I just let them call me that.
It gives my parents such joy...
to brag about me to their neighbors.
What can I do?
I heard Ba Reun placed first in his school again.
Didn't I tell you?
He'll do so much good to society later.
You're being naive again.
He should marry a girl from a rich family...
and get a few houses from them.
The eldest son should support his family.
Ba Reun.
Come out and pour your uncle a drink.
I'd like our future judge to pour me a drink.
Come out.
You shouldn't ignore what older people say.
That's enough.
You'll annoy our neighbors.
"Who saw him die?"
"'I', said the Fly,"
"'with my little eye, '"
"'I saw him die.'"
"Who caught his blood?"
"'I', said the Fish,"
"'with my little dish, I caught his blood.'"
Judge Im.
Why don't you go home now?
Judge Im.
I told you I can take care of myself.
Mr. Maeng told me that...
you got pretty worked up during the mediation session,
so I was worried about you.
It's nice that you're working hard,
but aren't you too involved in this case?
Do you feel like you can relate to the case?
Remember the advice you always used to give me?
You told me not to be too involved and always keep a healthy distance.
You're not feeling well, so you should call it a day.
I'll go through the additional materials...
and pick out important parts for you to review.
-I do my own work. -We have to work as a team.
Don't act like a kid.
Just get better so that the team isn't affected by it.
I've always wanted to try that.
Okay, I will,
Ms. Left-seat Judge.
My husband has low self-esteem.
He gets intimidated by the littlest things...
that I don't even care about.
Didn't you keep telling him that you want to move to a bigger place...
even if you have to take out a loan for it?
You told him that your pride was hurt.
That was... It was because of our daughter.
-Your daughter? -Yes.
Just across the street from our place,
an expensive apartment complex was built.
She was told to leave the playground as she lives in "a cheap building".
Why does our daughter have to be treated like that?
Answer me.
Say something!
Answer me!
Say something, please!
Didn't you ask Mr. Lee for a divorce about a month before the incident?
-Yes. -What was your reason?
He cheated.
Did he have an affair?
-I'm sure of it. -Do you have evidence?
He rented a studio apartment without telling me.
Isn't it obvious?
No wonder why he started to come home late from work more often.
Do you know what your husband did in that tiny apartment?
I told you. Isn't it obvious?
What are these?
Your husband wrote poems there.
He was studying poetry.
These are his notebooks we found in a desk drawer there.
Maybe he was writing his last wishes.
Shall we wrap up now?
-Mr. Maeng. -Yes.
Could you please tell everyone to come in?
-Sir. -Yes, Judge Im.
It seems like Mr. Lee was very moved...
by the training workshop for new hires.
Was he?
Was there a game where the new hires had to form the letters...
in the company name using their bodies?
Yes.
This is what he wrote.
"I learned that even I, who's a nobody,"
"can become a part of a grand big picture."
"My colleagues, who are much more competent than I am,"
"stood shoulder to shoulder with me, and we became one."
"I was so moved..."
"that I couldn't stop crying."
Corporate cultures, such as yours, do not tolerate...
even one fraying strand of thread.
Every employee is expected to follow the rules and be meticulous.
Mr. Lee, who's a bit socially awkward,
must've been like that one fraying strand of thread.
Something that had to be cut out.
If we meet this month's goal,
-we'll get a 500-percent bonus. -What?
What will you do with the bonus if we get it?
I'm going to go on a trip and have fun. I'll make a vacation request.
I'm going to get a new car.
-What about you? -I'm going to...
Goodness, this guy gets on my nerves in every possible way.
Are you a lefty?
Good grief.
Hey, you're such a nuisance.
Go to that corner and eat by yourself.
Let me ask again.
Do you think the company holds no responsibility?
And you, Mr. Lee's parents?
All we did was love our son very dearly.
Right, I know that you love him.
But have you ever considered and respected...
his wants and needs...
as an individual?
All of you here are responsible for what happened.
Mr. Lee just wanted to be himself and live a life that befits him,
but you demanded that he should be just like everybody else.
Sadly,
Mr. Lee is also partially responsible for what happened.
He obeyed...
people around him and did what they told him to do,
without refusing even once.
And he's now paying the consequences all by himself...
in a very painful manner.
That pain will burden his family as well.
Now, you have to take responsibility too.
Judge Im, the company is willing to compensate him...
even though it won't be a lot of money.
Is it because of the media?
The company's reputation will be damaged if the litigation drags on.
Mediation is an effective way to achieve...
a quiet and hassle-free resolution,
and I don't think it's the right solution for this case.
I think we need to take the time that we need to find out...
who's really responsible in an open manner.
-Judge Im. -And just so you know,
we, as public servants, must report any law violations we come across.
We'll have to consider reporting you if we find any labor law violations.
I'll see you in the courtroom.
"Who will toll the bell?"
"'I', said the Bull,"
"'because I can pull, '"
"'I'll toll the bell.'"
"All the birds of the air..."
"fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,"
"when they heard the bell toll..."
"for poor Cock Robin."
Sir.
How about we have pasta for lunch today?
Or we can just go to that Korean restaurant you like.
Their food is always good, so it'll be a great option too.
How about Thai food? Thai food.
Thai food is tasty.
It was hard, wasn't it?
It was.
You know that we have a team lunch this afternoon, right?
The chief presiding judge organized it.
-Was that today? -Yes.
They made a reservation at a pasta place for us young judges.
I don't think Presiding Judge Han is going.
He doesn't want to eat pasta as it's hard to digest.
This menu looks complicated. I'll just get the lunch set.
I'll get the same thing.
The lunch set is always a good idea when you don't know the menu well.
We should all get the same thing, sir.
The lunch set seems to be the best option price-wise.
It's the same here.
The lunch set is always a good idea.
That's right.
Just a moment.
I'd like to take a look at the menu. Thank you.
Let's see what they have.
This cream pasta with scallops and wild sesame sauce looks unique.
-Is it good? -Yes, many customers like it.
Shall I try this seafood pasta with scorched rice?
We usually eat at the cafeteria, but we're eating out today.
We shouldn't all get the same thing. That's too boring.
There are many delicious things here.
Could I see your menu as well?
Thank you.
Why don't you visit our office these days?
-Oh, my. -Do I have to visit your office?
Eating out is quite filling.
For some reason, I get hungry around 4pm when I eat at the cafeteria.
It's because you're young.
Seafood scorched rice pasta was so delicious.
-Judge Park. -Yes?
By the way, today when...
One moment please.
Hello? Yes, Mr. Cho.
I'll be right down.
-I'll be right back. -Okay.
We're going to make a house.
-Let's make a house. -This goes outside.
-That one? It goes outside. -Look at this.
Goodness.
Let's shake our butts from side to side.
They're like a daddy bear and his baby bears.
This is fun.
For now,
the defendant's claims that their children are afraid...
of their father have proved to be false.
I agree.
The children have no problem with their dad.
It looks like Mom.
She looks exactly like Mom.
Your mom isn't an angel.
Your mom is a bad person who doesn't keep her promise.
Wait.
What are you doing?
What's wrong, Min Sol?
Come here.
The children should know what kind of person their mom is.
Why do I have to lose my children when I did nothing wrong?
She lied about my leaving the house.
She's creating a distance between me and my children.
Reveal the truth.
Plaintiff, what have you done?
How could you do that as a father?
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
Even if you're fighting for custody,
how could you show that to your children?
I'm sorry. I was out of my mind.
During the first trial, parental rights and child custody... went to the mother.
What?
Didn't he divorce his wife because she was having an affair?
The children were still young.
The judge thought the mother should raise them.
I see what happened.
In the appellate brief,
he offered his wife everything, including their house,
as long as he can raise the children.
That's what he wrote.
At least...
he's a father who loves his children very much.
Men like him are rare.
Can the mother afford to raise two children alone?
Presiding Judge Han ordered to investigate custodial environment.
The home investigator...
visited the house, so we have to wait for the result.
It's a studio apartment of 46m².
It wasn't very organized.
It was cluttered with laundry and toys.
There were traces of children eating cup noodles as meals.
Is the mother very busy?
She teaches at a nursery.
It's also open at night for parents who work late.
That sounds difficult.
She called her children to the nursery after school,
and they stayed with her.
Now it's difficult since her boss isn't happy about it.
The father can't visit them often because of his job, right?
Yes.
The plaintiff drives heavy equipment.
Depending on the construction sites, he travels across the country.
The children must be quite lonely.
If they could live with both of their parents,
they wouldn't want anything more.
No.
-Hurry up. -Let's ride the swing.
Be careful. You'll fall.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
That must be nice.
Come on.
Hurry up, hurry.
Let's go.
Plaintiff, you want to grow an orchard in the countryside.
You want to raise your daughters there?
Yes, Your Honor.
How will you prepare the money for that?
I sold my excavator.
I have money saved for 10 years.
My dream was farming in the countryside.
I didn't eat much or buy many clothes.
I worked hard to save money since I was young.
If I need more money,
I'll get a loan from the bank.
You'll be busy working at an orchard.
Can you take care of two daughters?
I'll move to a village where my aunt and uncle live.
I agreed to live next door to my aunt.
She's very happy about that.
She wanted us to live with her,
but I insisted that we'll live next door instead.
People in the village can't wait for us to move.
We'll live in a house with a big yard. We'll raise...
a dog and rabbits too.
After spending all day at the nursery,
children watch TV at night in a tiny apartment.
When I imagine that, I can't bear it.
It's a school in the countryside, but it has a big field.
They can run around with their friends.
They can catch grasshoppers and dragonflies in the field.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live like that?
Working at an orchard won't be easy.
Can you take care of your children on top of that?
On top of that, you're their father.
Your Honor.
Without my children, I'll die.
I'll really die.
I have no reason to live.
When he talked about living with the children at a house with a yard,
did you see his face?
His eyes sparkled so much.
I felt moved.
I moved to the city because I hated the countryside.
It's hard to live in Seoul,
but I prefer the city.
It's different for everyone.
Right.
However, what's more important to the children...
is being loved enough.
You know...
my situation.
People call me a single mom.
I can bear it when people see me with a biased look.
Is my love enough for my children?
Don't they need a father?
When I wonder if I make them lonely,
it's the most difficult.
Ms. Yoon.
Whether it's in a city or the countryside,
children are probably happy when they're loved by many.
Hearing the plaintiff talk about the countryside,
the children wouldn't be lonely.
Goodness.
You're insane. What are you doing?
What can I do about my stomachache?
Sorry.
Is this a stereo system?
Is your body a musical instrument?
It's probably because I have too many trials these days.
Don't forget to take your pills.
"Cabagin"
-How many should I take? -Two.
I'm sorry.
If you're done,
go get some exercise. It'll help your digestion.
It's dangerous to exercise at my age.
Go do the dishes then.
Yes, ma'am.
Sorry.
Is my little girl home?
Yes.
Let your dad see your face.
That brat.
It's not a good idea to bother a 14-year-old.
Go back to doing the dishes.
Still, that brat...
Is my eldest daughter home?
Yes.
Let your dad...
Honey, that plate is...
from overseas. Me and other moms...
made a group purchase, remember?
Please don't break the peace in the family.
Can't someone group-purchase me?
I have so much to do both at work and at home.
Gosh, all I do is work.
I'm exhausted.
I'm really exhausted.
Yes?
Hi.
You got a letter, sir.
What is it?
It's from the plaintiff...
in the custody case.
Give it to Ms. Yoon...
and ask her to include it in the case file.
Okay.
Hold on. Give it back to me.
Let me read it first.
Yes, sir.
The lady who will be helping him with his kids...
is not his aunt.
Pardon?
The plaintiff had no family or relatives.
He was left at an orphanage.
The director would hit him, so he ran away at 15.
While begging and doing all kinds of work,
he met this lady and her husband.
He lived with them and worked at their orchard for three years.
That's why...
Yes.
The lady saved up some money for him...
and forced him to study in Seoul.
Thanks to her, he could become a heavy equipment operator.
I guess he was lucky.
He had been lonely for so long.
That's why he became so obsessed with his kids.
He didn't want to be lonely again,
so he saved up money and got married.
But after he got married,
he wanted to get a house with a big yard for his kids so badly...
he traveled everywhere for work.
He didn't realize that he was making his wife lonely.
People can be so stupid, right?
What should we do? Do you have any ideas?
According to Supreme Court's precedents,
custody decisions should be made...
in the best interests of the children.
Parents' affection for the children, intention to raise the children,
-financial abilities... -Gosh.
It's obvious that we should take all those things into account.
When a parent is already taking care of the children,
it's more likely that that person will...
Forget about the precedents.
Don't you think something is wrong here?
Why should the innocent man have to lose his children?
It's his wife that cheated on her spouse.
According to the precedents,
even if you're responsible for the divorce,
the children's well-being...
These cases are the most difficult ones.
I'm home.
Did you have a drink?
I drank alone at the convenience store.
I have a case that's been bothering me. I was a bit frustrated.
That's just an excuse.
Are the kids asleep?
Of course. They're busier than us.
Both of them fell asleep while doing their homework.
Guys, Daddy is home!
Don't wake them up.
Just a moment. Let me just see their faces.
You pretend to be all grown up,
but you look like little kids when you're asleep.
Let me see.
What's next?
Aren't you sleepy?
Well... Why don't we call it a day...
and go to bed?
I don't want to.
Let's go to bed early and play in the morning.
No. I want to poop.
At this hour?
Not yet?
It's been almost an hour.
Why don't you go to bed now...
-and try again later? -I don't want to.
You're doing this because you don't want to sleep, right?
No. I really want to poop.
If you wake up early tomorrow...
No. I don't want to sleep.
I want to poop.
I don't care. Poop by yourself. I'm leaving.
It's been more than an hour.
She still hasn't come out and is sitting in there.
My goodness. What should I do with her?
I'm sorry.
It must have been hard.
Why are you crying?
Are you sick?
Are you having a hard time pooping too?
No, I'm not sick.
Daddy, it's so big.
It looks like a huge sweet potato.
You did a good job.
-It's even bigger than mine. -Right?
Why do kids...
grow up so fast?
These little ducklings.
Will I never...
get to see them like this again?
Would I be able to...
live without them?
"Plaintiff"
Plaintiff.
Do you know what your younger daughter is most afraid of?
Bugs.
Among them, she's the most afraid of moths.
Of course, she's afraid of other bugs too.
Then do you know what your elder daughter's wish is these days?
It's going to BTS' concert...
with her four best friends.
But actually,
she wants to go with a boy who looks like Park Bo Gum.
Our investigator who specializes in child psychology...
said both of your daughters opened up to her very quickly.
Everyone in our department had a lot of reading to do...
to go over this entire report.
Plaintiff.
Everything children encounter is like a new world to them.
You want to live in a house with a big garden in the countryside.
That will be beautiful, of course.
But that's not your daughters' dream.
Your children already have...
their own dreams in their own worlds.
They won't...
wait for their dad.
They'll grow up before you even know it.
Plaintiff, I'm sorry.
It doesn't seem like you can afford...
to protect your daughters' worlds...
because of your own pain.
At this moment,
there's nothing the law can do for you.
I just hope...
that time can heal your family's wounds...
as it is...
a wiser remedy than the law is.
Did you cry?
It looks like you did.
I keep getting caught by you.
Yes, I cried out of envy.
Envious of whom?
The daughters of the plaintiff in the child custody case.
I'm envious of Ms. Yoon's son as well.
Even though both families are going through a hard time?
At least those kids...
have parents...
who love them so dearly right by their sides.
You have your mother.
Yes, I do.
That makes it even harder though.
It's not easy to watch her deteriorating by the day.
Is your mother's illness serious?
To be exact,
I'm disappearing...
from my mom's memory day by day.
I have to get going.
Let me come with you.
What?
There might be things that I could help you with.
Let's go together.
No, it's okay. There's nothing you can do to help.
It's something that I need to handle on my own.
Can't we handle it together?
We're a team. I'm the right-seat judge.
If my left-seat judge is going through hard times,
we must deal with it together.
So that the team won't be affected.
The director would like to speak with you.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I'll be right back.
All right.
Hello, I'm Im Ba Reun. I work with your daughter.
Your daughter is doing very well at work.
She's still pretty new, but she's already a good judge.
I'm certain that she'll become...
a wonderful judge soon.
This is a song called "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
In English-speaking countries,
the word, "apple", often refers to the pupil.
Since it's round like an apple.
When you look at someone,
you can see that person's reflection in your eyes.
It means that the person you look at the most...
is always in your eyes.
Like the apple of my eye.
After Judge Park was born,
how many times did you look her?
Your daughter is...
the apple of your eye.
Whatever the doctor says,
those memories...
remain somewhere.
They'll last forever.
Judge Park.
You won't be forgotten.
Ever.
"Miss Hammurabi"
You don't get to say yes or no. Do as I say.
I also have a short temper.
I'm stubborn too.
-It's mine. -Young people are rude.
They have no manners.
They're still pretty.
What will you do about my pretty buttocks?
-I won't show them to you anymore. -Crazy punk.
They enlarged the ugliest photo of me.
They make me grit my teeth and lose my appetite.
Presiding Judge Han is unfriendly in a fair way. Never mind.
-Look at me. -Never mind.
