Watch out!
No!
Mom.
Dad.
There were plenty of
ways to save my parents.
However, my arrogant belief
that I could change my fate
got my parents killed.
Mom. Can you skip work tonight?
Why? Is something wrong?
Well, I'm taking a day
off from my part-time job.
- Why don't we
- You can take a day off.
But we should go to work.
- We never take days off.
- Right.
I should've held my parents'
hands and pestered them about it.
No, I should've caused
some kind of trouble
so they'd have to miss work.
I should've known
the driver would turn the
steering wheel at that moment.
No, I should've pushed my parents
toward the inside of the street.
Am I going to be an orphan once again?
Hee Woo.
Hee Woo, are you all right?
- Hee Woo!
- Hee Woo, where are you?
Mom. Dad!
- My gosh.
- Dad.
- Are you all right?
- Are you hurt, Hee Woo?
Mom, are you okay?
Yes. Are you hurt?
Hey, are you all right?
Hey, try moving. Lift your foot.
Why worry about me when you
two are the ones who are hurt?
Come on, Mom. Get on my back.
Let me take you to the hospital.
No, it's okay. It just gave
me a little scare. That's all.
You silly goose. Did you get
any glass shards in your skin?
- Dad, you're the one who's hurt.
- What?
- You're bleeding.
- I am?
Darn it. I am hurt indeed.
How did that happen?
(Episode 2)
Mom, make sure you go to
the hospital just in case.
I'm really okay.
By the way, what about the driver?
Right. The driver must be badly hurt.
Wait here. I'll go check.
Okay.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, just a few little scrapes.
Finally, I get to meet
the hit-and-run driver who
killed my parents in the past.
What? The driver is dead? Are you sure?
- Yes, sir.
- Anything unusual?
I think the driver was drunk.
- Drunk?
- Yes.
I could smell the alcohol.
Oh, boy.
Hello, sir.
What happened?
The thing is
Darn it.
Kim Jin Woo?
What's he doing here?
Excuse me. Coming through.
I smell alcohol.
That's Is that Cho Hyun Seok?
I finally solved the
last piece of the puzzle.
Cho Tae Sub's son, Cho Hyun Seok.
Nice to meet you.
(Assemblyman Cho Hyun Seok)
Mr. Kim Hee Woo?
I did a little background check on you.
You lost both of your parents
in a hit-and-run accident.
You got bad grades in school
but managed to get into
Hankuk University's law
school on the third try.
Then you had a little MMA career going on,
and you even passed the bar.
On top of that, you're good-looking.
You're handsome.
You didn't have to be this
handsome on top of everything else.
You're almost too good to be true.
Anyway, you have all the nuts and bolts
to be the next rising star in politics.
My father, Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub,
will give you the support you need.
Just take the first step.
The rest will be taken care of for you.
That shameless scumbag.
He already knew everything about me.
Manipulating the case report
and concealing the truth.
It was Cho Tae Sub's
power that had enabled it.
Excuse me. We need a witness statement.
- Could you come with us?
- Sure.
Wait, Officer.
I'll do it.
I'm his father. I was at the
scene at the time of the accident.
And as you can see, I'm one of the victims.
Okay. Then please come with us.
- This way.
- Okay.
Dad, will you be all right?
Yes, I'm fine. Just go
home with Mom and rest up.
Okay.
Let's go.
Fate has changed.
I managed to protect my parents,
while Cho Tae Sub lost his son.
This will turn him
into a complete madman
who is even more ruthless.
I know because
that was what happened to me
when I lost my parents.
(Again My Life)
Thank you for everything, Mr. Kim.
I only did what I had to do, sir.
Thanks to you,
I was able to protect my son's honour.
I've told everyone
to keep their lips sealed
about the accident,
so you can put your worries to rest, sir.
Thanks.
You must be devastated. I'm
truly sorry for your loss, sir.
As they say, time heals all wounds.
What can I do? It can't be undone.
I'll make sure
to repay you for all your help.
You'll hear some good news soon.
Thank you, sir.
Just until today
Yes. I'll remember and mourn
his passing just until today
and let him go.
Tomorrow is a new day.
I should pull myself together
and focus on working for the people.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Thanks for everything.
I had jjajangmyeon earlier.
Why am I hungry again?
Stop eating all the time, you pig.
Hey, give me a cigarette.
Buy your own, will you?
Does no one have any?
- Give me one. You have some.
- Where's my lighter?
- Fine. It's on me.
- Nice!
- I want chocolate milk too!
- I want chips!
Hello.
I need a pack.
I heard you were studying.
For what? Do you want to go to college?
Darn you.
Hey.
You little cockroach. How dare
you rat me out to the teacher?
What are you going to do though?
Your father is a factory worker,
and my father is a police chief.
Life's unfair, isn't it?
Poor you!
You moron. Are you deaf?
What's with that glare?
What? Do you want to punch me?
Goodness. You're such a whiner.
Drop it. Let's go.
Study hard, Hee Woo. I hope
you get into college
and become a big shot.
Big shot, my foot.
Get out. Everyone's waiting.
Hey, you little Don't you
dare glare at me like that.
Once a gopher, always a gopher.
You can't stare me down just
because you've graduated.
Loser.
Cheer up.
Seriously
Just let it go.
Kim Hee Woo, come to
the instructors' office.
Hey, Hee Woo. Come in.
Say hello. This is the
director of the academy.
Oh, hello.
It's very nice to meet you, Hee Woo.
I heard you got the highest
score on the mock test.
- Pardon me?
- Congratulations.
My, this is unprecedented in
the history of the academy.
One of the lowest-level students
beat the Hankuk University
class and got the highest score!
We're moving you to the
Hankuk University class.
Okay.
I heard it's you.
Kim Kyu Ri?
The one with the highest score.
Oh, that. Yes.
What's your secret?
How in the world did you pull that off?
- What's with that smile?
- It's nothing.
- Anyway, congratulations.
- Thanks.
Although it won't happen again.
Next time, I won't let you beat me.
Are you taking care of yourself?
That's random.
Try to eat well.
Don't live on stuff like that.
I need a pack of cigarettes.
You can't buy any cigarettes for a dollar.
- Why are you smiling?
- Because you're smiling.
Goodness. I heard you had changed.
It was true.
Come on, man. Hurry. I don't have time.
You have time. Money
is what you don't have.
Besides, you can't buy
cigarettes for a dollar.
You little
- What? You dodged?
- Of course.
- Why?
- Why shouldn't I?
- Because I'll beat you up then.
- Try all you want, you idiot.
You little piece of
Hey, what's taking you so long?
What's happening here?
Let go.
- Come out.
- Goodness.
Fine.
Oh, boy.
Hey, Kim Hee Woo. Why must you
give up your life in front of me?
Why me, of all people?
Must you make me a murderer?
I won't die. Don't you worry.
Besides, even if you punks get arrested,
you'll serve six months at
the most for petty crimes.
What's he saying?
What is this loser saying?
What was that?
You piece of
Let go. I told you to let go, you jerk.
Hold on. You can let go. I'm okay.
You little jerk. How dare you?
Stop! Don't move! Hold on.
This punk. Let go. I said, let go!
He tickled me.
Hold on.
What are you, a pervert?
Why did you tickle me?
Can you guys please just leave?
Leave, will you?
Darn you.
You've got some nerve. How
dare a dog bite its master?
You think no one's above you
now that you've graduated?
I didn't bite anyone.
I tickled him a little. That's all.
- What's this loser saying?
- That's It's true.
- What?
- This punk
- I mean, he
- Moron.
Come here, you punk.
Hey Kill him!
Darn it.
- Get him!
- You little
What are you doing? Why
did you close your eyes?
Want to feel my punch?
I will really kill you.
I'll stop here.
If I don't, you'll pee your pants.
- You want to go to college?
- Yes.
What is your father's name?
Kim Chan Sung.
My dear son will go to college?
Yes. I'm studying hard at the academy.
Then What about your part-time job?
- I'm keeping it.
- Then when do you sleep?
I'm taking good care of myself,
so you don't need to worry.
So? What school do you want to get into?
Hankuk University's law school.
You're beginning to scare me.
What did we do wrong this time?
Hee Woo, can we
have a serious talk about this?
Sure.
Of course, I knew you wouldn't believe me.
Here, take a look.
What is this? "Report Card"?
- Does this mean you did well?
- Yes.
I got the highest score at the academy.
You got the highest score? How?
- What do you mean?
- Hey!
Don't you dare lie to us.
You're lying because we don't
know how to read a report card.
Honey, there's no way our son
can get the highest score.
Did you cheat on the test?
This is a crime!
No. I studied very hard.
Please believe me, Dad.
Honey, let's have a family meeting.
Just us two, without Hee Woo.
I mean, he's our child.
How is this possible?
- When we were in school
- Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub
has announced that he will be running
for Party Chair at the
upcoming party convention.
Earlier today, he held
a press conference at the
Minguk Party's headquarters,
where he announced his
candidacy for Party Chair
and stated that he will do his best
to build a newer, better Korea.
The soaring levels of
inequality and polarization
Life is unfolding just as I remembered it.
All the past events are taking place again,
and I am getting closer to the
fated incident I must stop
no matter what.
(3 months later)
(Hankuk University Class)
- What?
- Why did the lights go off?
- I can't see a thing.
- What's going on?
What's happening?
Is it today?
It thundered that day, and
there was a power outage.
(Pharmacy)
It was somewhere around here.
The alley by the pharmacy around
the corner from the academy.
(Pharmacy)
(Pharmacy)
Kyu Ri!
You woke up. Are you okay?
Did you bring me here?
Yes.
- Thanks.
- You need to take care of yourself.
I appreciate the concern,
but mind your own business.
If you're tired, just sleep.
Don't take stuff like this.
It's not like I haven't
been sleeping at all.
I just used this to cut down on sleep.
Why force yourself to sleep less?
- To study.
- What for?
- To get into a good school.
- And then what?
I'll think about it when I get there.
It's important to me that I
don't let my parents down.
Living up to your parents'
expectations at every turn.
Is that your life goal?
I never said I was doing
this for my parents.
Are you not?
It's just that I am grateful to them.
Right. Most people are
grateful to their parents.
So just be grateful.
That's all you need to do.
What do you mean?
To them, you're their child.
Not an adoptive child.
What?
How did you know?
You're grateful to them for adopting you,
so you're putting all this
pressure on yourself to do better,
which is ruining your health. Do
you think this is what they want?
I know you want to repay
them, but this is wrong.
Don't do this, for your own sake.
You're right.
This is wrong.
(Ward A, Room 303)
In my previous life, Kyu Ri
was always the top student.
- Take care.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- I heard Kyu Ri collapsed.
- Yes.
Even last time. She missed the
CSAT because of a fainting spell.
Where did she faint?
The alley by the pharmacy
around the corner.
I actually just got back from the hospital.
They said she'd suffer complications
because she was found too late.
Why did she faint though?
She overdosed on pills that keep you awake.
She didn't eat and kept taking the pills
to stay awake even though she needed sleep.
("Crash Course on CSAT")
(I can get into Hankuk University's
law school. Do not give up!)
(Kim Kyu Ri)
(I can get into Hankuk University's
law school. Do not give up!)
I heard
Kyu Ri got into Hankuk law
school the following year,
but I never once heard her
name at Hankuk University
or in the legal field.
Why would that be?
Today, her fate changed because of me.
What would Kyu Ri's future look like?
Hey, do you know what this is?
What is it?
It's super popular these days.
If you take it, you pass out right away.
Really? That's great.
Han Mi has been getting on my
nerves by playing hard to get.
Spike her drink with it later.
Okay.
Han Mi says she's on her way now.
Loser Kim Hee Woo is working so hard.
Take it easy.
Bye, Hee Woo.
Goodness.
Let's go check in on Han Mi.
Oh, my. That's hot.
Hey, pull it down a little more.
You scumbags are up to no good.
Has that punk lost his mind?
Check out that confidence.
Manners
maketh
man.
Darn.
This movie hasn't come out yet.
I got a little too ahead of myself.
What's he saying?
You're dead meat.
I guess I have no choice
but to teach you guys a real lesson today.
Shut your trap.
No
- What happened?
- You woke up.
I asked you what happened!
Here.
(Chief Im Jung Woo)
(Chief Im Jung Woo)
Do you realize where you are now?
You two.
I'm asking you.
I don't care what this place is,
but I do not know why I'm here.
I am asking you
what criminals like you are doing
in a police chief's office
and if you know how you ended up here.
Why am I a criminal?
You filed a report and said
someone spiked your drink,
so we looked into it and
investigated everything thoroughly.
Luckily, we found a pill
wrapper in the trash.
Who did it?
What are you doing?
- I will gouge out your eyeballs
- Be quiet!
He also spiked my son's
drink just as a prank.
My son drank it without
knowing it was spiked,
so he was in a daze.
He had diminished physical and
mental capacity at the time.
- Diminished capacity?
- But then, you barged in
and started pummelling
my son for no reason.
Why did you hit him?
I went there to save my friend.
But they didn't listen
to me, so I warned them.
I'm not sure if you
checked the scene yourself,
but he threw a liquor bottle at me.
The bottle shattered and
created a dent in the wall.
See this?
I didn't hit him unilaterally.
I only acted in self-defence.
So you did hit him.
I will emphasize once again that
I only acted in self-defence.
(Injury Certificate)
I heard you were a hardworking young man.
Shouldn't you think about your future?
I can't believe
a police chief is manipulating the case
and threatening kids to cover up the truth.
You little Shut it!
(Chief's Office)
Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Kim, what brings you by?
Kim Seok Hoon? What's he doing here?
Are you Im Jong Il?
- Yes.
- You know what you did, right?
I didn't do anything wrong.
- You did nothing wrong?
- That's right.
Sir!
Got a death wish?
(Shinju Police Station)
What was that about?
From what I know, Kim
Seok Hoon only has a son.
Hey, Hee Woo.
Let's go eat something.
- I've eaten.
- I haven't.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- I said, I've eaten.
- I can't eat by myself.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- I said, I've eaten.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- Yes, let's do that.
Yes, let's do that
What?
Darn, I got confused.
No, I've already eaten.
Darn it.
It wasn't me.
Then are you saying it was me?
You think I wouldn't know
if my own stomach growled?
Hey. I'm saying I'll treat
you to a meal to thank you.
Why are you making a fuss
by playing hard to get?
I'm not the one making a fuss.
You're the one making a fuss
by obsessing over a meal.
- Good grief.
- Gosh, did you say "obsess"?
Hey, I'm just trying to repay you.
Don't make me look pathetic for it.
I will politely decline the offer.
The reason?
What are you doing?
- It's the smell of cigarettes.
- What?
I feel nauseous when I smell it.
That's my reason.
This way.
I'm sorry for being late.
Welcome, Deputy Chief Kim.
My apologies, Assemblyman. I had
some business to take care of.
I'm sure it was handled well since
you took care of it personally.
- Yes, sir.
- All trouble
starts from the most trivial things.
Be cautious at all times.
I'll bear that in mind.
So how is it?
You're the first deputy chief
prosecutor from your class.
- How does it feel?
- I just feel grateful towards you.
I will do my best not to get
in the way of your future, sir.
Just keep doing what you're doing.
The path you want to take
and your plate.
I will pave the way
and fill it up for you.
How does it taste?
Yes, welcome.
Kim Kyu Ri.
- What is this?
- It's a summary of the key points.
It's better to take the
faster and more precise route.
I'm repaying my debt.
- Debt?
- Thank you for last time.
I'm not the type to owe someone a debt.
All of my studying tips are there.
Try putting them to good use.
Thanks.
(Hankuk University Class)
If you look at this problem
What is the answer then?
They used the military
to fight against the Yuan dynasty.
This is what we call the
Mongol Invasions of Korea.
(2 weeks until CSAT)
(3 days until CSAT)
Gosh.
Has my brain aged?
Why can't my brain retain things?
- Good luck.
- I hope you ace it!
- I hope you ace your exam!
- Best of luck!
- Ace your exam today!
- You can do it.
(Mathematics)
(Exam identification slip)
It's been assessed that this year's CSAT
was harder than usual.
The mathematics section, in particular,
is said to be the key section
that will determine the top ranks.
So the students who scored well
in the mathematics sections
What is mathematics?
It's math.
I thought it was related to
fixing things or something.
(Korean history)
By the way, were we approved for the loan?
Not yet. Let's give it a little more time.
(Mock scorecard)
I think you'll be on the news, Kyu Ri.
- Did she get a perfect score?
- No way, she got full marks?
- That's amazing.
- Awesome. I'm so jealous of you.
(Kim Hee Woo)
Great job, everyone.
Come see me anytime if you need
counselling for college admissions.
I hope you all get into
the college of your dreams.
- Thank you.
- Good job everyone.
Kim Hee Woo.
I'm glad I saw you. I've been
curious about your result.
How did you do on your CSAT?
I'll let you know once I
receive a definite score.
All right. You studied hard so
I'm sure you'll see good results.
What's your plan now?
I'm planning to get another part-time job.
- A part-time job?
- Yes.
I want to pay for my
college tuition myself.
Well, if you're going to
get a part-time job
My brother's office is looking
for a clerical assistant.
I think you will do well.
Kang Min Seok. KMS Law Firm's head lawyer.
He was famous for his high
winning rate in my past life.
I can't believe he was
Instructor Min Kyung's brother.
Are you Kim Hee Woo?
Yes.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, sir.
My sister told me you're smart.
And that you hope to be a Hankuk
University law student one day.
So, have you always been
interested in this field?
I've always been interested in law.
So I just read a few related books.
Books that are even slightly
related to law are extremely hard.
You must be above average then.
The work here won't be hard.
You'll be helping Ms. Seo organize
documents, prepare for meetings,
and deliver documents to the
courthouse once in a while.
Okay. That's not hard at all.
I will do my best.
If you need any help with legal
issues let me know anytime.
I will.
I look forward to working with you.
Me too, sir.
This case will be a
symbolic lawsuit for us.
But we will be going up against Cheonha.
It's risky. We're biting
more than we can chew.
Why do you think the
environmentalist group picked us?
It's because they believe we can
fight and win against Cheonha.
Mr. Kang, please.
They want to raze down a perfectly
fine mountain for a resort.
We must stop them.
I would understand if Mount
Cheongpung was famous.
Mount Cheongpung?
The lawsuit that went on for five years?
You're saying you want
to go up against Cheonha?
The public will not be on our side either.
- He's right.
- This is too risky.
- It's too dangerous.
- We can't take this case.
We are going to take this case.
It's going to be tough but we must take it.
Please reconsider this one more time.
Director. Think over it, please.
Let's put our luck to the test and try.
We can do it.

as an "invasive plant".)

Longhorn beetle.
A first-grade, endangered wild animal.
Slipper orchid.
A first-grade, endangered wild
plant and a protective species.
It's on the International Union for
Conservation of Nature's Red List.
A large sanctuary for the Kalkora
mimosa, another endangered species.
All of these things are
in Mount Cheongpung.
Let's use the argument
of development versus
the preservation of the
ecosystem to win this case.
- In Australia
- Kang Min Seok
becomes a famous lawyer with this lawsuit.
He went against Cheonha and won.
This lawsuit strengthened
environmental evaluations of
domestic development projects.
You've done everything that
you were asked to do
and even went above and
beyond as a part-timer.
You made it impossible for me not
to reward you with your paycheck.
Pardon?
I figured cash would be best.
You are wise, sir.
My gosh.
(Cashier's Check)
Gosh, this reward is too big though.
It's because I'm a big person.
You are wise, sir. Thank you.

Goodness, what's taking so long?

(Congratulations on your admission.)
- My gosh. You got in!
- You're in!
(Hankuk University Law School.
All Law School Students Gather Up)
This place hasn't changed.
Is Kyu Ri not here yet?
Professor Min Byung Sun, it's been a while.
(Civil Code)
"The Civil Code isn't
an academic discipline."
The Civil Code isn't
an academic discipline.
It's the manual for
people to be aware of
to live in this world.
All right. Let me give you an example.
A student moves into a house,
and the homeowner took out
a 30,000-dollar mortgage loan on the house.
And the student's deposit
was posterior to the loan.
Then the house gets auctioned off.
To make things worse,
the house was sold at a lower
price than the loan itself.
This student wasn't able
to get the deposit back.
What would you do if you were the student?
You have no choice but to give up.
The student signed the contract,
knowing the deposit was posterior.
So there's no way to fix this.
Any other ideas?
I'll get the deposit back.
You'll get the deposit back?
- Yes.
- How?
The deposits for houses
around the school aren't high.
So even if the house gets auctioned off,
based on the House Leasing
Protection Act for Low Deposits,
I can get the minimum
amount of the deposit back.
- And
- And?
During the auction, I'm not
obligated to pay the rent.
So it actually works in my favour.
And on top of that, when
I'm asked to evacuate,
they'll have to pay for my moving fees.
He's pretty good.
His answer is much more
detailed than my answer.
I don't get this detailed
answer from a freshman.
That's right. You were just
talking about the Civil Code.
If you know the code, you
can protect yourself
when you unexpectedly
find yourself in trouble.
What's your name?
- It's Kim Hee Woo.
- Kim Hee Woo.
Kim Hee Woo.
That's it for today.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I guess you studied before class.
Nice to meet you. My
name is Park Seung Wan.
Hey, nice to meet you.
My name is Kim Hee Woo.
You know there's a meet-and-greet
for freshmen, right?
Choi Kang Jin told everyone to come.
- Choi Kang Jin?
- The president of our department.
Choi Kang Jin?
Are you guys going?
What for?
Who are you?
I'm Lee Min Soo.
I see. Hello. I'm a freshman.
My name is Kim Hee Woo.
I know. Kim Hee Woo.
I'm a freshman too. Do
you want to be friends?
- What?
- Is that such a shocker to you?
- You think you're doing me a favour?
- Of course.
You don't look that young either.
So are you going?
- He told everyone to come.
- I really don't want to go.
You don't have to go.
And you have to wear a suit.
- Gosh. So annoying. I won't go.
- You won't be missed.
And Jang Il Hyun who
got the highest mark
at the training institute
will be there too.
- Jang Il Hyun?
- Gosh.
That's all it's going to take?
- Yes.
- Gosh.
How will I put up with their bragging
in front of the juniors?
You said you weren't coming.
How can I not go when my friend is going?
Who said you were his friend?
He didn't object. Why are you objecting?
Hee Woo. Let's go and drink coffee.
- All of a sudden?
- Yes.
- Let go of your friend's hand.
- You are my friend.
- Let's go.
- Since when?
Right now.
- Wait. Hey
- Why is he so extreme?
Where are we going for a cup of coffee?
I saw a lot of coffee shops
in front of the school.
My friend, even if we drink a
cup, we must drink in style.
A coffee alchemist works here.
The barista has won a national award.
Gosh. The coffee here is the real deal.
Why you little How dare you come here?
- How dare you come here?
- Ma'am.
Honey.
Pardon?
Honey.
- Goodness. Me?
- Honey.
Gosh. I'm sorry.
She shows symptoms of dementia sometimes.
- It's all right.
- I was out to buy her medication,
so I wasn't home.
I told you to leave it by
the door when I wasn't home.
The food won't be tasty when it gets cold.
And cold food isn't good for you guys.
You had a stomachache when
you had cold food before.
It's because I feel bad.
You always bring us food.
It's all right.
Here.
It's still warm.
Take it inside and enjoy
the food with your wife.
Thank you.
- Bye.
- What?
- Let's go inside.
- Let's meet in our next life.
- Bye.
- Go inside.
Love in Boxed Meals.
You're a delivery volunteer
for the disadvantaged class.
Yes.
Let me see your back.
Wait. You're a wingless angel.
Gosh. Thank you.
I really thought I was going to
get hit by the broom earlier.
Anyway, I'm glad that you're not hurt.
A broom formed a precious bond between us.
Why don't we continue the bond
with some drinks and meat?
I'm late.
Bye. Thank you for helping me today.
See you!
Gosh. She struck a chord with me.
I'll save her in my heart.
What?
How do you know that now?
Oh, this? I've been doing
this for a long time.
You want one too? I'll
save you in my heart.
No. Are you serious?
Then you think I'm joking?
I'm so confused.

Thank you.
(Meet-and-Greet Law School Freshmen)
You're here.
Hey.
Excuse me.
Congratulations.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Seung Wan.
Choi Kang Jin?
This is Prosecutor Choi
Kang Jin I told you about.
Say hello to him properly.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)
I look forward to working with you.
You can trust him.
Gosh. You're handsome.
You need to do your best from now on.
The victory in this election
doesn't belong to me.
It belongs to the people who voted for me!
I will become an assemblyman who
defends the truth and justice.
I will create a loving world
where the powerless and
disadvantaged are embraced.
Choi Kang Jin.
A piece of trash
- who started off as a prosecutor,
- Excuse me.
Worked as a human rights lawyer,
and became an assemblyman.
You're here.
Is he a freshman?
Say hello.
Yes.
I'm Kim Hee Woo.
I see. Seung Wan told me about you.
Some freshmen think
passing the bar is everything.
So they don't socialize
with their classmates.
But they are wrong.
Attending events like
this will be good for you.
I always engrave your words in my heart.
Right. That way, you can
broaden your social circle.
So we can help each other once we graduate.
You cover up each other's mistakes,
scratch each other's back,
and help each other get rich.
That's how it is.
Gosh. He's so rude.
- I didn't know you came back.
- Yes, I missed you.
- Have you been well?
- He's so annoying.
- I can hear you.
- That's the point.
Kang Jin, you're a fourth-year. Why
He entered the medical program
when I started law school.
- Right.
- We went to the same high school.
I guess the art and music
schools weren't to your liking.
Right. They weren't.
And I'll give law school a bit more time.
Lee Min Soo.
I don't remember meeting
him in my previous life.
Did he show up when my past changed?
He's the pride of the law
program at Hankuk University.
I give you Jang Il Hyun!
Hello, sir.
(Meet-and-Greet Law School
Freshmen from Hankuk University)
Hello,
my dear students of the law
program at Hankuk University.
I'm Jang Il Hyun.
Jang Il Hyun.
You idiot!
Do you think you're so smart?
How dare you investigate
Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub?
He's working so hard for our country.
Who do you think you are?
How dare you make a problem
out of such a minor offence?
Offering bribes is one of the offences
people receive more severe punishments.
Embezzlement from national projects
and abuse of his authority.
I have about ten more
offences other than these.
What do you say? Should
I report them to you?
Look at you.
You fool.
Hey, a man in his position is
allowed to do stuff like that.
If you keep acting out like this,
you'll be going to jail.
Just keep your mouth shut, you jerk.
We will now protect the people's
rights through the law
and make their lives more prosperous.
Have a good evening with
your fellow classmates.
And share your dreams.
(Meet-and-Greet Law School Freshmen)
In my opinion, this
isn't your kind of scene.
This isn't mine either.
These people and their pretenses.
It feels like I'm standing in
the middle of a sand storm.
When you breathe in a lot of dust,
you ought to drink soju with greasy meat.
Let's go.
- It'd be great if you're buying.
- No.
- It's your treat?
- No.
- Thanks for the meal.
- Seriously?
No. Hey.
- I said no!
- Hurry up.
What's the deal with that guy?
Why are you studying in college?
What?
Let me change my question.
Do you want to be successful?
- Is that how you think of me?
- Yes.
Of course. I ought to be successful.
How far do you want to go?
What?
I've been thinking about that.
The world is in my hands.
Should I take it or not?
You're not laughing.
People usually laugh when
I say stuff like this.
They tell me to stop reading comic books.
No. You and I see eye to eye on things.
I knew it.
I could sense that you belonged
to my club when I first saw you.
Gosh. I guess we're meant to be.
Do you want to marry me?
Do you want to marry me?
Why do you even think
about stuff like that?
You are the only one who can
be my match at our school.
- No.
- You.
- No.
- No.
Stop it.
Anyway, you got into medical,
art, and music programs.
That's not easy.
Isn't studying hard?
Studying is the easiest and
most doable thing in the world.
It's very easy.
It's just that the world and
people in it are difficult.
Lee Min Soo. I can't predict how
he's going to change my future.
Hey!
Why did you take photos of her legs?
- What?
- The part-timer that walked by.
You took photos of her legs, you pervert.
- Do you have proof?
- Yes.
Your cell phone.
Hey. It's the girl I saved in my heart.
- What about my cell phone?
- You asked for proof.
It's on your cell phone.
Earlier, she had such a big heart.
But here, she's like a warrior.
Why would I show you my phone?
You think I'm crazy?
Unless you want me to go
crazy for real, give it to me.
Shut your mouth.
This is embarrassing. Take off your jacket.
Hey! You!
- What?
- I told you to shut your mouth.
Shouldn't we stop him?
I'm calling from a pub in
front of Hankuk University.
There's a fight. You should hurry.
You're not what I expected.
You're so not cool.
Gosh. This is helping her.
What if I get involved
and end up in trouble?
- Right.
- Yes.
- Shall we?
- Goodness.
You got nothing on me.
How dare you accuse me?
Hey, where are you going?
You little
Hey, big guy. This isn't right.
Calm down.
The police will be here shortly.
Just hang in there.
What? The police? Get your hand off me.
Who do you think you are?
Why are you meddling in my business?
Just keep minding your own business.
Hey.
Listen. This is just
so humiliating for you.
So just behave until the police get here.
Okay. It hurts.
Let go of me. Come on.
Hey. Consider yourself lucky.
Why did you trip over my leg?
- We received a report from here.
- Okay.
- Wait.
- He's a bad guy.
I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!
Seriously. I didn't do anything.
Gosh.
We meet again.
Cheers.
Seriously. You can't dodge this one.
This is called fate. You cannot resist it.
What? Is something on my face?
No. I'm sorry.
I was thinking about something else.
What?
From what you said earlier,
you also go to Hankuk University, right?
- Yes.
- We go to the same school.
Hankuk University?
We're both freshmen in the law program.
Really?
I'm a freshman in the
computer engineering program.
I'm Kim Hee A.
I'm Kim Hee Woo. I'm 21 years old.
I took a year off before college.
Me too. That's what I did too.
Kim Hee Woo. Kim Hee A.
Our names are similar too.
Right. It's fate. We cannot resist this.
You heard what I said.
Since we're the same age,
let's drop the honorifics.
I knew you were cool.
I'm Lee Min Soo. Nice to meet you.
Since you're friends with him,
drop the honorifics with me too.
We need to drink properly tonight.
I get the feeling you're
ignoring what I'm saying.
Okay.
Since I owe you guys for helping me out,
drinks are on me tonight.
I like the way you think. Okay.
- Okay. Cheers.
- Cheers.
She's not listening to me.
Why do you keep staring at me like that?
You look familiar.
You don't have a problem
hearing these lame lines?
Same here. Why do you look so familiar?
Gosh. She even played along.
She does seem familiar for some reason.
I can't remember her.
Who is she?
(Again My Life)
What is this?
This is driving me crazy.
I just came up with a brilliant move.
We decided to invite you
to the secret law club.
If I'm right,
I could be Cho Tae Sub's target anytime.
(Again My Life)
(Lee Kyoung Young)
(Kim Ji Eun)
(Again My Life)
Watch out!
No!
Mom.
Dad.
There were plenty of
ways to save my parents.
However, my arrogant belief
that I could change my fate
got my parents killed.
Mom. Can you skip work tonight?
Why? Is something wrong?
Well, I'm taking a day
off from my part-time job.
- Why don't we
- You can take a day off.
But we should go to work.
- We never take days off.
- Right.
I should've held my parents'
hands and pestered them about it.
No, I should've caused
some kind of trouble
so they'd have to miss work.
I should've known
the driver would turn the
steering wheel at that moment.
No, I should've pushed my parents
toward the inside of the street.
Am I going to be an orphan once again?
Hee Woo.
Hee Woo, are you all right?
- Hee Woo!
- Hee Woo, where are you?
Mom. Dad!
- My gosh.
- Dad.
- Are you all right?
- Are you hurt, Hee Woo?
Mom, are you okay?
Yes. Are you hurt?
Hey, are you all right?
Hey, try moving. Lift your foot.
Why worry about me when you
two are the ones who are hurt?
Come on, Mom. Get on my back.
Let me take you to the hospital.
No, it's okay. It just gave
me a little scare. That's all.
You silly goose. Did you get
any glass shards in your skin?
- Dad, you're the one who's hurt.
- What?
- You're bleeding.
- I am?
Darn it. I am hurt indeed.
How did that happen?
(Episode 2)
Mom, make sure you go to
the hospital just in case.
I'm really okay.
By the way, what about the driver?
Right. The driver must be badly hurt.
Wait here. I'll go check.
Okay.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, just a few little scrapes.
Finally, I get to meet
the hit-and-run driver who
killed my parents in the past.
What? The driver is dead? Are you sure?
- Yes, sir.
- Anything unusual?
I think the driver was drunk.
- Drunk?
- Yes.
I could smell the alcohol.
Oh, boy.
Hello, sir.
What happened?
The thing is
Darn it.
Kim Jin Woo?
What's he doing here?
Excuse me. Coming through.
I smell alcohol.
That's Is that Cho Hyun Seok?
I finally solved the
last piece of the puzzle.
Cho Tae Sub's son, Cho Hyun Seok.
Nice to meet you.
(Assemblyman Cho Hyun Seok)
Mr. Kim Hee Woo?
I did a little background check on you.
You lost both of your parents
in a hit-and-run accident.
You got bad grades in school
but managed to get into
Hankuk University's law
school on the third try.
Then you had a little MMA career going on,
and you even passed the bar.
On top of that, you're good-looking.
You're handsome.
You didn't have to be this
handsome on top of everything else.
You're almost too good to be true.
Anyway, you have all the nuts and bolts
to be the next rising star in politics.
My father, Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub,
will give you the support you need.
Just take the first step.
The rest will be taken care of for you.
That shameless scumbag.
He already knew everything about me.
Manipulating the case report
and concealing the truth.
It was Cho Tae Sub's
power that had enabled it.
Excuse me. We need a witness statement.
- Could you come with us?
- Sure.
Wait, Officer.
I'll do it.
I'm his father. I was at the
scene at the time of the accident.
And as you can see, I'm one of the victims.
Okay. Then please come with us.
- This way.
- Okay.
Dad, will you be all right?
Yes, I'm fine. Just go
home with Mom and rest up.
Okay.
Let's go.
Fate has changed.
I managed to protect my parents,
while Cho Tae Sub lost his son.
This will turn him
into a complete madman
who is even more ruthless.
I know because
that was what happened to me
when I lost my parents.
(Again My Life)
Thank you for everything, Mr. Kim.
I only did what I had to do, sir.
Thanks to you,
I was able to protect my son's honour.
I've told everyone
to keep their lips sealed
about the accident,
so you can put your worries to rest, sir.
Thanks.
You must be devastated. I'm
truly sorry for your loss, sir.
As they say, time heals all wounds.
What can I do? It can't be undone.
I'll make sure
to repay you for all your help.
You'll hear some good news soon.
Thank you, sir.
Just until today
Yes. I'll remember and mourn
his passing just until today
and let him go.
Tomorrow is a new day.
I should pull myself together
and focus on working for the people.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Thanks for everything.
I had jjajangmyeon earlier.
Why am I hungry again?
Stop eating all the time, you pig.
Hey, give me a cigarette.
Buy your own, will you?
Does no one have any?
- Give me one. You have some.
- Where's my lighter?
- Fine. It's on me.
- Nice!
- I want chocolate milk too!
- I want chips!
Hello.
I need a pack.
I heard you were studying.
For what? Do you want to go to college?
Darn you.
Hey.
You little cockroach. How dare
you rat me out to the teacher?
What are you going to do though?
Your father is a factory worker,
and my father is a police chief.
Life's unfair, isn't it?
Poor you!
You moron. Are you deaf?
What's with that glare?
What? Do you want to punch me?
Goodness. You're such a whiner.
Drop it. Let's go.
Study hard, Hee Woo. I hope
you get into college
and become a big shot.
Big shot, my foot.
Get out. Everyone's waiting.
Hey, you little Don't you
dare glare at me like that.
Once a gopher, always a gopher.
You can't stare me down just
because you've graduated.
Loser.
Cheer up.
Seriously
Just let it go.
Kim Hee Woo, come to
the instructors' office.
Hey, Hee Woo. Come in.
Say hello. This is the
director of the academy.
Oh, hello.
It's very nice to meet you, Hee Woo.
I heard you got the highest
score on the mock test.
- Pardon me?
- Congratulations.
My, this is unprecedented in
the history of the academy.
One of the lowest-level students
beat the Hankuk University
class and got the highest score!
We're moving you to the
Hankuk University class.
Okay.
I heard it's you.
Kim Kyu Ri?
The one with the highest score.
Oh, that. Yes.
What's your secret?
How in the world did you pull that off?
- What's with that smile?
- It's nothing.
- Anyway, congratulations.
- Thanks.
Although it won't happen again.
Next time, I won't let you beat me.
Are you taking care of yourself?
That's random.
Try to eat well.
Don't live on stuff like that.
I need a pack of cigarettes.
You can't buy any cigarettes for a dollar.
- Why are you smiling?
- Because you're smiling.
Goodness. I heard you had changed.
It was true.
Come on, man. Hurry. I don't have time.
You have time. Money
is what you don't have.
Besides, you can't buy
cigarettes for a dollar.
You little
- What? You dodged?
- Of course.
- Why?
- Why shouldn't I?
- Because I'll beat you up then.
- Try all you want, you idiot.
You little piece of
Hey, what's taking you so long?
What's happening here?
Let go.
- Come out.
- Goodness.
Fine.
Oh, boy.
Hey, Kim Hee Woo. Why must you
give up your life in front of me?
Why me, of all people?
Must you make me a murderer?
I won't die. Don't you worry.
Besides, even if you punks get arrested,
you'll serve six months at
the most for petty crimes.
What's he saying?
What is this loser saying?
What was that?
You piece of
Let go. I told you to let go, you jerk.
Hold on. You can let go. I'm okay.
You little jerk. How dare you?
Stop! Don't move! Hold on.
This punk. Let go. I said, let go!
He tickled me.
Hold on.
What are you, a pervert?
Why did you tickle me?
Can you guys please just leave?
Leave, will you?
Darn you.
You've got some nerve. How
dare a dog bite its master?
You think no one's above you
now that you've graduated?
I didn't bite anyone.
I tickled him a little. That's all.
- What's this loser saying?
- That's It's true.
- What?
- This punk
- I mean, he
- Moron.
Come here, you punk.
Hey Kill him!
Darn it.
- Get him!
- You little
What are you doing? Why
did you close your eyes?
Want to feel my punch?
I will really kill you.
I'll stop here.
If I don't, you'll pee your pants.
- You want to go to college?
- Yes.
What is your father's name?
Kim Chan Sung.
My dear son will go to college?
Yes. I'm studying hard at the academy.
Then What about your part-time job?
- I'm keeping it.
- Then when do you sleep?
I'm taking good care of myself,
so you don't need to worry.
So? What school do you want to get into?
Hankuk University's law school.
You're beginning to scare me.
What did we do wrong this time?
Hee Woo, can we
have a serious talk about this?
Sure.
Of course, I knew you wouldn't believe me.
Here, take a look.
What is this? "Report Card"?
- Does this mean you did well?
- Yes.
I got the highest score at the academy.
You got the highest score? How?
- What do you mean?
- Hey!
Don't you dare lie to us.
You're lying because we don't
know how to read a report card.
Honey, there's no way our son
can get the highest score.
Did you cheat on the test?
This is a crime!
No. I studied very hard.
Please believe me, Dad.
Honey, let's have a family meeting.
Just us two, without Hee Woo.
I mean, he's our child.
How is this possible?
- When we were in school
- Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub
has announced that he will be running
for Party Chair at the
upcoming party convention.
Earlier today, he held
a press conference at the
Minguk Party's headquarters,
where he announced his
candidacy for Party Chair
and stated that he will do his best
to build a newer, better Korea.
The soaring levels of
inequality and polarization
Life is unfolding just as I remembered it.
All the past events are taking place again,
and I am getting closer to the
fated incident I must stop
no matter what.
(3 months later)
(Hankuk University Class)
- What?
- Why did the lights go off?
- I can't see a thing.
- What's going on?
What's happening?
Is it today?
It thundered that day, and
there was a power outage.
(Pharmacy)
It was somewhere around here.
The alley by the pharmacy around
the corner from the academy.
(Pharmacy)
(Pharmacy)
Kyu Ri!
You woke up. Are you okay?
Did you bring me here?
Yes.
- Thanks.
- You need to take care of yourself.
I appreciate the concern,
but mind your own business.
If you're tired, just sleep.
Don't take stuff like this.
It's not like I haven't
been sleeping at all.
I just used this to cut down on sleep.
Why force yourself to sleep less?
- To study.
- What for?
- To get into a good school.
- And then what?
I'll think about it when I get there.
It's important to me that I
don't let my parents down.
Living up to your parents'
expectations at every turn.
Is that your life goal?
I never said I was doing
this for my parents.
Are you not?
It's just that I am grateful to them.
Right. Most people are
grateful to their parents.
So just be grateful.
That's all you need to do.
What do you mean?
To them, you're their child.
Not an adoptive child.
What?
How did you know?
You're grateful to them for adopting you,
so you're putting all this
pressure on yourself to do better,
which is ruining your health. Do
you think this is what they want?
I know you want to repay
them, but this is wrong.
Don't do this, for your own sake.
You're right.
This is wrong.
(Ward A, Room 303)
In my previous life, Kyu Ri
was always the top student.
- Take care.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- I heard Kyu Ri collapsed.
- Yes.
Even last time. She missed the
CSAT because of a fainting spell.
Where did she faint?
The alley by the pharmacy
around the corner.
I actually just got back from the hospital.
They said she'd suffer complications
because she was found too late.
Why did she faint though?
She overdosed on pills that keep you awake.
She didn't eat and kept taking the pills
to stay awake even though she needed sleep.
("Crash Course on CSAT")
(I can get into Hankuk University's
law school. Do not give up!)
(Kim Kyu Ri)
(I can get into Hankuk University's
law school. Do not give up!)
I heard
Kyu Ri got into Hankuk law
school the following year,
but I never once heard her
name at Hankuk University
or in the legal field.
Why would that be?
Today, her fate changed because of me.
What would Kyu Ri's future look like?
Hey, do you know what this is?
What is it?
It's super popular these days.
If you take it, you pass out right away.
Really? That's great.
Han Mi has been getting on my
nerves by playing hard to get.
Spike her drink with it later.
Okay.
Han Mi says she's on her way now.
Loser Kim Hee Woo is working so hard.
Take it easy.
Bye, Hee Woo.
Goodness.
Let's go check in on Han Mi.
Oh, my. That's hot.
Hey, pull it down a little more.
You scumbags are up to no good.
Has that punk lost his mind?
Check out that confidence.

maketh
man.
Darn.
This movie hasn't come out yet.
I got a little too ahead of myself.
What's he saying?
You're dead meat.
I guess I have no choice
but to teach you guys a real lesson today.
Shut your trap.
No
- What happened?
- You woke up.
I asked you what happened!
Here.
(Chief Im Jung Woo)
(Chief Im Jung Woo)
Do you realize where you are now?
You two.
I'm asking you.
I don't care what this place is,
but I do not know why I'm here.
I am asking you
what criminals like you are doing
in a police chief's office
and if you know how you ended up here.
Why am I a criminal?
You filed a report and said
someone spiked your drink,
so we looked into it and
investigated everything thoroughly.
Luckily, we found a pill
wrapper in the trash.
Who did it?
What are you doing?
- I will gouge out your eyeballs
- Be quiet!
He also spiked my son's
drink just as a prank.
My son drank it without
knowing it was spiked,
so he was in a daze.
He had diminished physical and
mental capacity at the time.
- Diminished capacity?
- But then, you barged in
and started pummelling
my son for no reason.
Why did you hit him?
I went there to save my friend.
But they didn't listen
to me, so I warned them.
I'm not sure if you
checked the scene yourself,
but he threw a liquor bottle at me.
The bottle shattered and
created a dent in the wall.
See this?
I didn't hit him unilaterally.
I only acted in self-defence.
So you did hit him.
I will emphasize once again that
I only acted in self-defence.
(Injury Certificate)
I heard you were a hardworking young man.
Shouldn't you think about your future?
I can't believe
a police chief is manipulating the case
and threatening kids to cover up the truth.
You little Shut it!

Kim, what brings you by?
Kim Seok Hoon? What's he doing here?
Are you Im Jong Il?
- Yes.
- You know what you did, right?
I didn't do anything wrong.
- You did nothing wrong?
- That's right.
Sir!
Got a death wish?
(Shinju Police Station)
What was that about?
From what I know, Kim
Seok Hoon only has a son.
Hey, Hee Woo.
Let's go eat something.
- I've eaten.
- I haven't.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- I said, I've eaten.
- I can't eat by myself.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- I said, I've eaten.
- So what?
- Let's grab a bite together.
- Yes, let's do that.
Yes, let's do that
What?
Darn, I got confused.
No, I've already eaten.
Darn it.
It wasn't me.
Then are you saying it was me?
You think I wouldn't know
if my own stomach growled?
Hey. I'm saying I'll treat
you to a meal to thank you.
Why are you making a fuss
by playing hard to get?
I'm not the one making a fuss.
You're the one making a fuss
by obsessing over a meal.
- Good grief.
- Gosh, did you say "obsess"?
Hey, I'm just trying to repay you.
Don't make me look pathetic for it.
I will politely decline the offer.
The reason?
What are you doing?
- It's the smell of cigarettes.
- What?
I feel nauseous when I smell it.
That's my reason.
This way.
I'm sorry for being late.
Welcome, Deputy Chief Kim.
My apologies, Assemblyman. I had
some business to take care of.
I'm sure it was handled well since
you took care of it personally.
- Yes, sir.
- All trouble
starts from the most trivial things.
Be cautious at all times.
I'll bear that in mind.
So how is it?
You're the first deputy chief
prosecutor from your class.
- How does it feel?
- I just feel grateful towards you.
I will do my best not to get
in the way of your future, sir.
Just keep doing what you're doing.
The path you want to take
and your plate.
I will pave the way
and fill it up for you.
How does it taste?
Yes, welcome.
Kim Kyu Ri.
- What is this?
- It's a summary of the key points.
It's better to take the
faster and more precise route.
I'm repaying my debt.
- Debt?
- Thank you for last time.
I'm not the type to owe someone a debt.
All of my studying tips are there.
Try putting them to good use.
Thanks.
(Hankuk University Class)
If you look at this problem
What is the answer then?
They used the military
to fight against the Yuan dynasty.
This is what we call the
Mongol Invasions of Korea.
(2 weeks until CSAT)
(3 days until CSAT)
Gosh.
Has my brain aged?
Why can't my brain retain things?
- Good luck.
- I hope you ace it!
- I hope you ace your exam!
- Best of luck!
- Ace your exam today!
- You can do it.
(Mathematics)
(Exam identification slip)
It's been assessed that this year's CSAT
was harder than usual.
The mathematics section, in particular,
is said to be the key section
that will determine the top ranks.
So the students who scored well
in the mathematics sections
What is mathematics?
It's math.
I thought it was related to
fixing things or something.
(Korean history)
By the way, were we approved for the loan?
Not yet. Let's give it a little more time.
(Mock scorecard)
I think you'll be on the news, Kyu Ri.
- Did she get a perfect score?
- No way, she got full marks?
- That's amazing.
- Awesome. I'm so jealous of you.
(Kim Hee Woo)
Great job, everyone.
Come see me anytime if you need
counselling for college admissions.
I hope you all get into
the college of your dreams.
- Thank you.
- Good job everyone.
Kim Hee Woo.
I'm glad I saw you. I've been
curious about your result.
How did you do on your CSAT?
I'll let you know once I
receive a definite score.
All right. You studied hard so
I'm sure you'll see good results.
What's your plan now?
I'm planning to get another part-time job.
- A part-time job?
- Yes.
I want to pay for my
college tuition myself.
Well, if you're going to
get a part-time job
My brother's office is looking
for a clerical assistant.
I think you will do well.
Kang Min Seok. KMS Law Firm's head lawyer.
He was famous for his high
winning rate in my past life.
I can't believe he was
Instructor Min Kyung's brother.
Are you Kim Hee Woo?
Yes.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, sir.
My sister told me you're smart.
And that you hope to be a Hankuk
University law student one day.
So, have you always been
interested in this field?
I've always been interested in law.
So I just read a few related books.
Books that are even slightly
related to law are extremely hard.
You must be above average then.
The work here won't be hard.
You'll be helping Ms. Seo organize
documents, prepare for meetings,
and deliver documents to the
courthouse once in a while.
Okay. That's not hard at all.
I will do my best.
If you need any help with legal
issues let me know anytime.
I will.
I look forward to working with you.
Me too, sir.
This case will be a
symbolic lawsuit for us.
But we will be going up against Cheonha.
It's risky. We're biting
more than we can chew.
Why do you think the
environmentalist group picked us?
It's because they believe we can
fight and win against Cheonha.
Mr. Kang, please.
They want to raze down a perfectly
fine mountain for a resort.
We must stop them.
I would understand if Mount
Cheongpung was famous.
Mount Cheongpung?
The lawsuit that went on for five years?
You're saying you want
to go up against Cheonha?
The public will not be on our side either.
- He's right.
- This is too risky.
- It's too dangerous.
- We can't take this case.
We are going to take this case.
It's going to be tough but we must take it.
Please reconsider this one more time.
Director. Think over it, please.
Let's put our luck to the test and try.
We can do it.

It's on the International Union for

Let's use the argument
of development versus
the preservation of the
ecosystem to win this case.
- In Australia
- Kang Min Seok
becomes a famous lawyer with this lawsuit.
He went against Cheonha and won.
This lawsuit strengthened
environmental evaluations of
domestic development projects.
You've done everything that
you were asked to do
and even went above and
beyond as a part-timer.
You made it impossible for me not
to reward you with your paycheck.
Pardon?
I figured cash would be best.
You are wise, sir.
My gosh.
(Cashier's Check)
Gosh, this reward is too big though.
It's because I'm a big person.
You are wise, sir. Thank you.

(Hankuk University Law School.
All Law School Students Gather Up)
This place hasn't changed.
Is Kyu Ri not here yet?
Professor Min Byung Sun, it's been a while.
(Civil Code)
"The Civil Code isn't
an academic discipline."
The Civil Code isn't
an academic discipline.
It's the manual for
people to be aware of
to live in this world.
All right. Let me give you an example.
A student moves into a house,
and the homeowner took out
a 30,000-dollar mortgage loan on the house.
And the student's deposit
was posterior to the loan.
Then the house gets auctioned off.
To make things worse,
the house was sold at a lower
price than the loan itself.
This student wasn't able
to get the deposit back.
What would you do if you were the student?
You have no choice but to give up.
The student signed the contract,
knowing the deposit was posterior.
So there's no way to fix this.
Any other ideas?
I'll get the deposit back.
You'll get the deposit back?
- Yes.
- How?
The deposits for houses
around the school aren't high.
So even if the house gets auctioned off,
based on the House Leasing
Protection Act for Low Deposits,
I can get the minimum
amount of the deposit back.
- And
- And?
During the auction, I'm not
obligated to pay the rent.
So it actually works in my favour.
And on top of that, when
I'm asked to evacuate,
they'll have to pay for my moving fees.
He's pretty good.
His answer is much more
detailed than my answer.
I don't get this detailed
answer from a freshman.
That's right. You were just
talking about the Civil Code.
If you know the code, you
can protect yourself
when you unexpectedly
find yourself in trouble.
What's your name?
- It's Kim Hee Woo.
- Kim Hee Woo.
Kim Hee Woo.
That's it for today.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I guess you studied before class.
Nice to meet you. My
name is Park Seung Wan.
Hey, nice to meet you.
My name is Kim Hee Woo.
You know there's a meet-and-greet
for freshmen, right?
Choi Kang Jin told everyone to come.
- Choi Kang Jin?
- The president of our department.
Choi Kang Jin?
Are you guys going?
What for?
Who are you?
I'm Lee Min Soo.
I see. Hello. I'm a freshman.
My name is Kim Hee Woo.
I know. Kim Hee Woo.
I'm a freshman too. Do
you want to be friends?
- What?
- Is that such a shocker to you?
- You think you're doing me a favour?
- Of course.
You don't look that young either.
So are you going?
- He told everyone to come.
- I really don't want to go.
You don't have to go.
And you have to wear a suit.
- Gosh. So annoying. I won't go.
- You won't be missed.
And Jang Il Hyun who
got the highest mark
at the training institute
will be there too.
- Jang Il Hyun?
- Gosh.
That's all it's going to take?
- Yes.
- Gosh.
How will I put up with their bragging
in front of the juniors?
You said you weren't coming.
How can I not go when my friend is going?
Who said you were his friend?
He didn't object. Why are you objecting?
Hee Woo. Let's go and drink coffee.
- All of a sudden?
- Yes.
- Let go of your friend's hand.
- You are my friend.
- Let's go.
- Since when?
Right now.
- Wait. Hey
- Why is he so extreme?
Where are we going for a cup of coffee?
I saw a lot of coffee shops
in front of the school.
My friend, even if we drink a
cup, we must drink in style.
A coffee alchemist works here.
The barista has won a national award.
Gosh. The coffee here is the real deal.
Why you little How dare you come here?
- How dare you come here?
- Ma'am.
Honey.
Pardon?
Honey.
- Goodness. Me?
- Honey.
Gosh. I'm sorry.
She shows symptoms of dementia sometimes.
- It's all right.
- I was out to buy her medication,
so I wasn't home.
I told you to leave it by
the door when I wasn't home.
The food won't be tasty when it gets cold.
And cold food isn't good for you guys.
You had a stomachache when
you had cold food before.
It's because I feel bad.
You always bring us food.
It's all right.
Here.
It's still warm.
Take it inside and enjoy
the food with your wife.
Thank you.
- Bye.
- What?
- Let's go inside.
- Let's meet in our next life.
- Bye.
- Go inside.
Love in Boxed Meals.
You're a delivery volunteer
for the disadvantaged class.
Yes.
Let me see your back.
Wait. You're a wingless angel.
Gosh. Thank you.
I really thought I was going to
get hit by the broom earlier.
Anyway, I'm glad that you're not hurt.
A broom formed a precious bond between us.
Why don't we continue the bond
with some drinks and meat?
I'm late.
Bye. Thank you for helping me today.
See you!
Gosh. She struck a chord with me.
I'll save her in my heart.
What?
How do you know that now?
Oh, this? I've been doing
this for a long time.
You want one too? I'll
save you in my heart.
No. Are you serious?
Then you think I'm joking?
I'm so confused.

You're here.
Hey.
Excuse me.
Congratulations.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Seung Wan.
Choi Kang Jin?
This is Prosecutor Choi
Kang Jin I told you about.
Say hello to him properly.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)
I look forward to working with you.
You can trust him.
Gosh. You're handsome.
You need to do your best from now on.
The victory in this election
doesn't belong to me.
It belongs to the people who voted for me!
I will become an assemblyman who
defends the truth and justice.
I will create a loving world
where the powerless and
disadvantaged are embraced.
Choi Kang Jin.
A piece of trash
- who started off as a prosecutor,
- Excuse me.
Worked as a human rights lawyer,
and became an assemblyman.
You're here.
Is he a freshman?
Say hello.
Yes.
I'm Kim Hee Woo.
I see. Seung Wan told me about you.
Some freshmen think
passing the bar is everything.
So they don't socialize
with their classmates.
But they are wrong.
Attending events like
this will be good for you.
I always engrave your words in my heart.
Right. That way, you can
broaden your social circle.
So we can help each other once we graduate.
You cover up each other's mistakes,
scratch each other's back,
and help each other get rich.
That's how it is.
Gosh. He's so rude.
- I didn't know you came back.
- Yes, I missed you.
- Have you been well?
- He's so annoying.
- I can hear you.
- That's the point.
Kang Jin, you're a fourth-year. Why
He entered the medical program
when I started law school.
- Right.
- We went to the same high school.
I guess the art and music
schools weren't to your liking.
Right. They weren't.
And I'll give law school a bit more time.
Lee Min Soo.
I don't remember meeting
him in my previous life.
Did he show up when my past changed?
He's the pride of the law
program at Hankuk University.
I give you Jang Il Hyun!

Hello,
my dear students of the law
program at Hankuk University.
I'm Jang Il Hyun.
Jang Il Hyun.
You idiot!
Do you think you're so smart?
How dare you investigate
Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub?
He's working so hard for our country.
Who do you think you are?
How dare you make a problem
out of such a minor offence?
Offering bribes is one of the offences
people receive more severe punishments.
Embezzlement from national projects
and abuse of his authority.
I have about ten more
offences other than these.
What do you say? Should
I report them to you?
Look at you.
You fool.
Hey, a man in his position is
allowed to do stuff like that.
If you keep acting out like this,
you'll be going to jail.
Just keep your mouth shut, you jerk.
We will now protect the people's
rights through the law
and make their lives more prosperous.
Have a good evening with
your fellow classmates.
And share your dreams.
(Meet-and-Greet Law School Freshmen)
In my opinion, this
isn't your kind of scene.
This isn't mine either.
These people and their pretenses.
It feels like I'm standing in
the middle of a sand storm.
When you breathe in a lot of dust,
you ought to drink soju with greasy meat.
Let's go.
- It'd be great if you're buying.
- No.
- It's your treat?
- No.
- Thanks for the meal.
- Seriously?
No. Hey.
- I said no!
- Hurry up.
What's the deal with that guy?
Why are you studying in college?
What?
Let me change my question.
Do you want to be successful?
- Is that how you think of me?
- Yes.
Of course. I ought to be successful.
How far do you want to go?
What?
I've been thinking about that.
The world is in my hands.
Should I take it or not?
You're not laughing.
People usually laugh when
I say stuff like this.
They tell me to stop reading comic books.
No. You and I see eye to eye on things.
I knew it.
I could sense that you belonged
to my club when I first saw you.
Gosh. I guess we're meant to be.
Do you want to marry me?
Do you want to marry me?
Why do you even think
about stuff like that?
You are the only one who can
be my match at our school.
- No.
- You.
- No.
- No.
Stop it.
Anyway, you got into medical,
art, and music programs.
That's not easy.
Isn't studying hard?
Studying is the easiest and
most doable thing in the world.
It's very easy.
It's just that the world and
people in it are difficult.
Lee Min Soo. I can't predict how
he's going to change my future.
Hey!
Why did you take photos of her legs?
- What?
- The part-timer that walked by.
You took photos of her legs, you pervert.
- Do you have proof?
- Yes.
Your cell phone.
Hey. It's the girl I saved in my heart.
- What about my cell phone?
- You asked for proof.
It's on your cell phone.
Earlier, she had such a big heart.
But here, she's like a warrior.
Why would I show you my phone?
You think I'm crazy?
Unless you want me to go
crazy for real, give it to me.
Shut your mouth.
This is embarrassing. Take off your jacket.
Hey! You!
- What?
- I told you to shut your mouth.
Shouldn't we stop him?
I'm calling from a pub in
front of Hankuk University.
There's a fight. You should hurry.
You're not what I expected.
You're so not cool.
Gosh. This is helping her.
What if I get involved
and end up in trouble?
- Right.
- Yes.
- Shall we?
- Goodness.
You got nothing on me.
How dare you accuse me?
Hey, where are you going?
You little
Hey, big guy. This isn't right.
Calm down.
The police will be here shortly.
Just hang in there.
What? The police? Get your hand off me.
Who do you think you are?
Why are you meddling in my business?
Just keep minding your own business.
Hey.
Listen. This is just
so humiliating for you.
So just behave until the police get here.
Okay. It hurts.
Let go of me. Come on.
Hey. Consider yourself lucky.
Why did you trip over my leg?
- We received a report from here.
- Okay.
- Wait.
- He's a bad guy.
I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!
Seriously. I didn't do anything.
Gosh.
We meet again.
Cheers.
Seriously. You can't dodge this one.
This is called fate. You cannot resist it.
What? Is something on my face?
No. I'm sorry.
I was thinking about something else.
What?
From what you said earlier,
you also go to Hankuk University, right?
- Yes.
- We go to the same school.
Hankuk University?
We're both freshmen in the law program.
Really?
I'm a freshman in the
computer engineering program.
I'm Kim Hee A.
I'm Kim Hee Woo. I'm 21 years old.
I took a year off before college.
Me too. That's what I did too.
Kim Hee Woo. Kim Hee A.
Our names are similar too.
Right. It's fate. We cannot resist this.
You heard what I said.
Since we're the same age,
let's drop the honorifics.
I knew you were cool.
I'm Lee Min Soo. Nice to meet you.
Since you're friends with him,
drop the honorifics with me too.
We need to drink properly tonight.
I get the feeling you're
ignoring what I'm saying.
Okay.
Since I owe you guys for helping me out,
drinks are on me tonight.
I like the way you think. Okay.
- Okay. Cheers.
- Cheers.
She's not listening to me.
Why do you keep staring at me like that?
You look familiar.
You don't have a problem
hearing these lame lines?
Same here. Why do you look so familiar?
Gosh. She even played along.
She does seem familiar for some reason.
I can't remember her.
Who is she?

to the secret law club.
