Why Her? (2022) s01e02 Episode Script
Professor Oh Soo Jae
1
(Why Her?)
(This is a work of fiction. All characters, places, incidents,)
(and organizations portrayed in this drama are fictitious.)
Okay.
She didn't recognize me.
I'm glad.
(Episode 2)
Remember your first day at the Research and Training Institute?
I could tell right away.
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
Never let your client end up in prison.
(Slammer)
I thought, "Oh Soo Jae will be the troublemaker in this batch."
I was naive back then.
I didn't know I'd become this jaded.
(Launch of Legal Clinic Center)
I believe the director position is vacant.
I'll do it.
Well, the position itself isn't that great.
You'll have many nuisances to deal with.
People say I drove Park So Young to suicide.
I was unfairly pushed out of my job due to such public opinion.
I must win the public over so I can return quickly.
I need to build favourable public opinion.
Favourable public opinion?
Then the Legal Clinic Center could help you.
But that position has been spoken for. I'm sorry.
The person you're trying to reach
Where did she go?
Excuse me.
Do you really not know where Na Jung is?
I told you. She wasn't here when I got here.
What if my boss finds out? Darn you
What? Did you just swear at me?
If Na Jung shows up, tell her to call me right away.
Okay?
Who are you?
- I'm her brother. - Her real brother?
Are you her real brother?
Yes, what else? Do you think I'm her fake brother?
Get your act together.
Na Jung!
Na Jung!
Na Jung!
The person you're trying to reach
Darn it. Just wait until I catch you.
I'll tell your mom about your part-time job.
(Green Junk Shop)
(Junk Shop)
Na Jung!
Jeon Na Jung!
Na Jung!
Na Jung!
Na Jung. Hey, wake up.
Na Jung! Wake up!
Hello? Can someone help us?
Hey, wake up.
Hello? Help
- Thank you. Bye. - Bye!
- Best of luck. Take care! - Everything was delicious!
- Come often. - Okay!
- I'll give you lots of freebies. - My gosh! Thank you.
Bye.
(Sorry, we're closed. Please come again.)
Will Chan be home late again?
I guess he has a lot to study.
Hey, today is that day. You know
Hey, Chan is here.
Just pretend not to know anything, okay?
Hey, whenever I see him like that,
I feel so bad for him that I get angry.
Hey, law student!
They'll sell Hansu Bio
to fund Assemblyman Lee In Soo's presidential campaign.
Director Han Ki Taek will launder the money.
And these boxes must contain all the evidence.
But it won't be easy to find evidence.
Our job was to hide such evidence,
and we did a pretty meticulous job of concealing everything.
Besides, I heard Chairman Han's personal assets
were managed by Chairman Choi Tae Guk.
Chairman Choi manages Chairman Han's slush fund?
Create a list of everything the two of you hid.
One more thing.
I need you to find something you don't even know about.
That information includes something beyond your imagination.
Make sure to find it.
Something beyond your imagination.
Find it, no matter what.
(Congratulations, Managing Partner Choi Ju Wan.)
I apologize. You cannot enter, Ms. Oh.
What do you mean?
It says you're on vacation at the moment.
As you know, you cannot enter the building
when you're taking time away from work.
I'm on vacation, and I don't even know about it?
I apologize.
You should rest up and enjoy your vacation.
What brings you by, Soo Jae?
I saw that you moved the documents on Hansu Bio.
Are you here to do a handover?
I can't enter the office because of my vacation I never even requested,
and the man who stole my position from me is talking about a handover.
This keeps getting more interesting.
You may let her in.
- Yes, sir. - See you around.
- Congratulations, Mr. Choi! - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations, Mr. Choi. - Congratulations.
Thank you. I'll do my best for the continued success of TK Law Firm.
Let's welcome Mr. Choi with a big round of applause!
I want to pee!
I need to pee!
I'm so sorry, Ms. Oh.
Who brings their kid to work?
I need to pee!
But Soo Jae.
Do you think I would let all my hard work benefit someone else?
If that's the case, I would just quit.
I saw that you moved the documents on Hansu Bio.
Are you here to do a handover?
- Grandpa! - My sweet pumpkin!
My gosh, where were you?
- I was in the restroom. - Oh, I see.
Look who's here. Say hello.
Her name is Oh Soo Jae. Lawyer Oh Soo Jae.
Hello, ma'am.
My name is Choi Jae Yi.
I'm entering elementary school. I even ordered my school uniform.
Jae Yi, where have you been?
Hand all the documents over to Ju Wan.
Ju Wan will do a good job too.
Let's go.
So you ordered your school uniform, Jae Yi?
You're a big girl now.
Yes.
Professor, this is your TA. What should I do?
It looks like your class will get cancelled.
Everyone's refusing to take your class.
Why didn't you switch out?
I like Professor Oh.
Is this class going to get cancelled?
Classes with less than five students get cancelled.
It's Oh Soo Jae.
You see, I know the legal world quite well.
She will never let that happen.
Here's an announcement from Professor Oh Soo Jae.
Nice, amazing!
Among the students who are taking Basics of Fieldwork for Lawyers,
the one who gets the highest mark this semester will get to intern
at TK and receive 20,000 dollars to put toward tuition fees,
out of Professor Oh's out pocket.
When you're collecting and submitting facts and evidence,
you need to
What's going on?
Guys. My goodness.
My gosh.
I've compiled verdicts of the major cases from the past five years.
You will submit your own analysis before the end of the semester.
My lecture will take place once in a while.
You'll be graded on
Your analysis is worth 50 percent, and so is the exam.
Your lecture will take place once in a while?
Then could you tell us how you'd like us to analyse the verdicts?
Suit yourselves.
- What? What was that? - My gosh.
- What's her deal? - What was that about?
All right. Before I give these out,
I'll tell you who your supervisors are.
Group one, Professor Jung Hee Young.
Group 2, Professor Seo Jun Myung. Group 3, Professor Hong Ki Pyo.
Group four, Professor Jang Jae Soon.
Group five, Professor Park Sang Jin.
Group six, Professor Yang Ji Won.
Group seven, Professor Lee Jang Hyuk.
Group eight.
Professor Oh Soo Jae.
You'll sit with your supervisor at the upcoming event,
Seojung University Law School Night.
This is nuts. How come nothing's going my way?
I was told this was my lucky year.
I'm already liking this year much better than last year.
Aren't you in your first year?
No? You're not?
Me? This is my second year.
I got straight F's, so I'm retaking everything.
We're all in the same group, right?
Oh, right?
Don't hang out with me. Your grades will drop to my level.
Mr. Lee, what's next on your official schedule?
Why did you choose the National Cemetery as your first stop?
I will live up to the people's expectations of me.
Assemblyman Lee In Soo!
It's okay. Let him.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
My gosh, everyone is working so hard.
You didn't have to wait outside.
Let's go inside.
- Sir. - What is it?
(Hansu Bio Financial Statements)
Darn it!
Sir.
Open this, Ms. Song.
- Pardon me? - What are you waiting for? Open it.
Without Ms. Oh's permission, I can't
Do you not know that Ms. Oh also works for me?
Don't just stand around. Open it at once!
My gosh.
She took all the documents and put in a comic book?
I'm getting goosebumps all over. She sure has a lot of nerve.
I give her that.
Soo Jae, that cheeky brat.
Ms. Oh!
My gosh. You should've at least given me a heads-up.
I almost peed my pants!
You like comic books.
I got it for you.
Chairman Choi was fuming mad.
I thought he was going to kill me.
(2022 Seojung University Law School Night)
(Law Professional of the Year, Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm)
Is this world a just place?
Unfortunately, the world we live in is not a just place.
Then is it a fair place? No, never.
Such injustice and unfairness will continue to prevail.
Things may even get worse.
However, we have the law, our last bastion of hope.
In this world, which is never fair or just,
the law must be applied equally to everyone,
and you must dutifully carry out your responsibilities.
Law professionals who defend justice by making sure the law
won't falter before money and power.
That is the path that I
and my fellow Seojung law professionals have chosen.
I truly hope that all of you here will do the same.
I will help you in every way I can.
Use me all you want.
I will gladly be used for the sake of your bright futures.
Thank you very much for choosing Seojung University Law School.
Two special guests
took time out of their busy schedules to join us today.
Chairman Han Sung Bum, who always gives us
all the support we need.
And Assemblyman Lee In Soo, the Seojung graduate we're so proud of.
Please welcome them with a big round of applause.
Congratulations, sir. I should've brought you some flowers.
Why did you do that?
Why did you have to provoke the two of them like that?
Let's be honest. Chairman Choi has ditched you.
Am I wrong?
Just return all the documents and take good care of the sell-off.
Then I'll help you so that you can open a nice law firm of your own.
You know that I helped Chairman Choi get to where he is today.
Hand over the documents to me,
and I'll create a nice position for you.
I always thought that you had too much to offer
to just keep working under Chairman Choi.
Once my campaign office is set up, you can be my spokesperson.
If you'd like, you can join me in the Blue House too.
One step at a time.
What are you thinking? What on earth are you cooking up?
What are you thinking, sir?
Do you really not know why I sent people to Hansu Group
to get all those documents?
Right.
To secure the managing partner position
and spearhead the sale of Hansu Bio,
you made sure to get your hands on the documents.
But you lost both, so I understand why you're angry.
However, Soo Jae
I'm having my son take care of it. My own son.
It's a two billion dollar deal.
The commission alone will be 70 million dollars.
It's a huge undertaking.
Do you really think Mr. Choi Ju Wan can handle it?
What is it that you want?
Getting back the managing partner position?
No, that'd be too embarrassing.
Everyone in the industry knows that I was ousted
and have been exiled to the law school.
I'll find my way back.
However, the sale of Hansu Bio.
Let me be the one in charge.
I won't get in Mr. Choi's way.
Managing Partner Choi Ju Wan, the son of Chairman Choi Tae Guk.
Everyone knows who he is.
Taking me by surprise with the comic book,
and once again with those documents.
Making my son stay to be the face of the firm.
You really have grown a lot.
I learned from the best.
I'm always grateful for everything you've done for me, sir.
Thanks.
Ms. Oh!
Should I call you Professor Oh now?
You look amazing.
What do you do for your skin? You look like you're still in your 20s.
I see that you still haven't quit this habit.
Grow up.
Why should I?
You should always stay young at heart.
Come on. Let's go!
- Let's grab a drink together. - Do you want to end up in jail?
Get off of me.
Come on! Don't be so sensitive.
People would think I groped you or something.
Don't be like this. You're putting me on the spot.
I'm just so happy to see you.
- Are you all right? - Hey, who are you?
Professor Oh, are you okay?
You little punk. Who are you?
I am Gong Chan in 1L year, Professor Seo Jun Myung.
You're in your first year? How dare you
Should I call the police?
Or
Shall we watch that together?
You must be out of your mind. Hey!
Just leave.
I do not want this to turn into a commotion, so leave quietly.
I can't believe this.
Apologize to her before you leave.
How dare you stop me?
You'd better stay out of my sight.
If you're in my class, drop it. You got that?
- Why would you let him walk away? - What?
You need to make him apologize so he'd know what he did wrong.
Why aren't you asking me to apologize?
Sorry?
I
slapped you in the face, twice.
Oh, that.
Because I was fine.
You seemed to be under a lot of stress that day,
so I just thought,
"It's fine if that helped her feel better."
Even so, I should apologize.
I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.
And about today, could you pretend you didn't see it?
Sure.
Oh, right.
One more thing.
Don't meddle in my business again, whatever it may be.
I don't like it when others stick their nose in my business.
Oh, just a moment.
Choi Yoon Sang!
Must I run into you like this?
You should've come home on your mother's death anniversary.
If only you'd been that good to her when she was alive.
Ju Wan is the firm's managing partner now.
You should join TK soon too.
Do you really think Ju Wan can handle it?
You should've kept Soo Jae in the position
had you wanted the firm to do well.
How could you give it to her and take it back?
Ju Wan can do it. Don't belittle your brother.
To me, Choi Ju Wan is just a piece of trash.
He's your brother. How dare you
I'm off, Dad.
Soo Jae.
- Hey! - What?
I can't believe you have to retake 1L-year classes.
You even retook the CSAT.
There's one thing I'm grateful to my dad for.
Hiring this amazing tutor for me
when I was studying to retake the CSAT.
I think I can totally focus on my studies this year, thanks to you.
School is so much fun all of a sudden.
Do not call me by my first name at school.
Not even as a mistake.
Make a mistake, and I will kill you.
You'll come to the after-party, right?
Are you leaving?
Soo Jae!
Cranky as ever.
(Karaoke)
- This is nuts. - I can't believe this.
- How could he do such a thing? - It's horrible.
- Shouldn't he be reprimanded? - Is this for real?
Professor Seo Jun Myung sexually assaulted me.
I am Na Se Ryeon, a proud 1L law student at Seojung University.
At Seojung University Law School Night's after-party,
Professor Seo Jun Myung sexually assaulted me.
He touched and kissed me,
and I felt humiliated.
You touched me!
What are you talking about? I just brushed against you.
It's not like I molested you or something.
You did. You touched my breasts,
my waist,
and even my butt.
Me? Hey, Na Se Ryeon.
You got the wrong idea.
Wrong idea? Don't give me that nonsense.
Hey, Nam Chun Poong. You tell us.
You saw it too.
What? Yes.
You idiot. How long has this been up here?
When was this put up here?
What are you doing? Take it down!
Yes, sir.
She took all that time to write such gibberish?
What a lunatic.
Don't be nervous. Relax and tell us what happened.
We took down your post.
It could ruin the school's reputation,
and you could actually be sued for defamation.
Professor Seo always gets high ratings from his students.
His lectures are great,
and he always helps his students land good jobs upon graduation.
You know he was a senior prosecutor before joining the school.
So what?
What does that have to do with me?
We spoke with him to check the facts before we called you here.
The karaoke room was dark.
And I admit that I was drunk.
I think I wobbled a little because I was tipsy.
I remember falling toward Na Se Ryeon.
I guess I brushed against her or something. I don't remember.
I'm telling you the facts.
Right, Nam Chun Poong was there too.
You can ask him.
Professor Seo said that was what happened. Is it true?
Think carefully before you answer.
Think carefully?
Professor Seo could sue you both,
and you could also be expelled from school.
Yes, it's true.
Chun Poong said that?
So just admit that you got the wrong idea
and apologize to Professor Seo.
My gosh.
This is beyond ridiculous.
- What? - Na Se Ryeon.
- We're trying to help you. - As if!
Forget it.
Just stay out of it, okay?
Hey, Na Se Ryeon.
Na Se Ryeon!
Na Se Ryeon.
Why did you do something like that?
How did you misunderstand so badly?
I'm so shocked and angry,
but I decided to forgive you
since you're a clueless 1L student.
So post a public apology
and don't make a mistake like that again. Do you understand?
You should be the one to apologize, Professor.
You should post a public apology!
You haven't gotten your thoughts in order yet, I see.
It's okay. I can understand.
But it's a fact that you misunderstood.
Don't deny that.
Get going, all of you.
Your staring is going to make Se Ryeon feel worse.
You really don't know how this world works.
People really can't escape their lowly origins, I suppose.
Maybe they have lower intelligence or dirty blood.
You dirty punk.
You killed her.
You raped your stepsister,
killed her, and threw her body in the ocean.
Look. I said look, you punk.
It's not true. I'm not the culprit.
I really didn't do it.
Look. You dirty punk.
You lowlife.
Dirty blood.
Look! Look, you punk!
Be smart.
What do you think you're doing, punk?
A person like you shouldn't be here.
What?
Like me?
What? Like me?
You lowlife.
I told you to stay out of my sight.
Why you little
You little punk.
Come here, you punk. Who are you?
Please stop, Professor.
Who are you, punk? Who do you think you are?
- Professor. Stop. - Get over here.
Come here, punk.
- I said come here! - Please stop!
- Come here, punk. Let go! - Please calm down, sir.
Get over here, punk!
- Come here! - You stop too.
Who is it? Tell me.
Tell me who did this!
Tell me his name right now.
We're going to get all of our friends together to kill him.
Are you a gangster? In what area?
I know most of the gangsters in and around Seoul.
She used to be a police detective.
Hey, Kang Ja.
We're not gangsters. Right, Jo Gab?
- Jo Gab? - Oh, what?
We're really nice, right?
Of course, we're nice.
Let's be nice and bring some yummy food.
What do you like?
- All of it. - Of course.
Gosh. She wants to eat everything.
Save me
I hate getting in the middle of other people's business.
But let me ask one question. Did you see or didn't you?
What?
Professor Seo had a similar incident last year.
It ended with the girl leaving the school.
That's right. It's a habit.
They don't just suddenly start.
Hey. Look me in the eyes.
Look me straight in the eyes.
Did you see Professor Seo do something or not?
It's true that Se Ryeon misunderstood,
and Professor Seo isn't a molester. That's a fact.
And I no longer want to be involved in this.
I can't let this mess up my life.
These kids are so scary.
You can tell what kind of people they are by looking at their family.
Seriously. What is she thinking, making up lies
and framing Professor Seo?
She wrote that she'll seek legal action. How cute.
What did Director Baek say?
He didn't say much.
You know he doesn't like messy things.
He dislikes getting his hands dirty even more.
We can wrap things up ourselves.
Let's go back to limiting candidates from certain schools next year.
Yes, let's.
That's how she stayed there until the end.
I hated seeing how desperate she was.
Na Se Ryeon is in Group Eight, right?
The dregs of the entire class that we dumped on Oh Soo Jae.
Please don't be late for meetings.
Is my group the dregs of the class?
Na Se Ryeon.
You're her supervisor. Make sure she apologizes to Professor Seo.
- Why should I? - She keeps making things up
and making trouble for Professor Seo.
Professor Jung,
it's easy to forget you used to be a judge.
What?
Okay. About Na Se Ryeon. If there's no other way,
let's suspend her or have her drop out.
I mean, if you went to that kind of place with your professor,
you should lift the mood and shake the tambourine at least.
She's making this mess when she went there voluntarily?
I thought my colleagues were dirty, but professors are no joke either.
But I guess everyone is basically the same
since our community is so small. Don't you think?
- That - Goodness.
Pathetic losers.
(Seojung University)
Professor.
Help me.
I want an apology from Professor Seo.
That's not going to happen for you.
Last spring
You're the girl from General Affairs who got fired
after reporting to management
that she was sexually harassed by an intern lawyer.
That's you, right?
You should've learned from experience.
You let it happen again?
And you want me to help you?
In Korea,
the law isn't on the woman's side when she gets sexually assaulted.
Do you think school is going to be any different?
You should be the one to apologize to Professor Seo
for putting up a poster and posting the audio file.
Beg.
Get him to forgive you no matter what. That's the answer.
You could be sued for defamation and get expelled.
You didn't come to law school just for that to happen.
Just focus
on why you came here.
Professor.
Se Ryeon didn't do anything wrong. Why did you tell her to apologize?
You know Professor Seo. That day, you also
I thought I told you
to forget what you saw that day
and to stay out of my business.
I told you I don't like people getting in my business.
I don't like you, Professor.
I don't know what you have done for TK Law Firm.
I don't know how you've lived your life.
But asking Se Ryeon to apologize to someone like Professor Seo
That's so not cool.
That's not who you really are.
Who I really am?
If we let this go, Professor Seo will do this again.
Then it won't be Professor Seo's fault. It'll be ours.
Do you want that to happen?
That's really not cool.
Se Ryeon doesn't have any power, so when she gets angry,
nobody listens and she only gets attacked.
But you have power, Professor.
Use your power to get angry.
Professor, you used to be a cool person.
You.
Do you like Na Se Ryeon?
Do you like Na Se Ryeon? Is that why you're saying this?
No. It's not that
If you want to do something for the girl you like,
you need something undeniable.
If you want to beat Professor Seo, find undeniable evidence.
What good is a poster or an audio file?
If I bring something undeniable for the girl I like,
are you going to help?
I really didn't want to get involved.
Ms. Oh.
Things are so tough for my son-in-law.
What do I do, Mom?
Goodness.
My daughter hasn't been able to eat for days.
My husband is the sweetest dad to my daughters.
My daughters are so shocked that they can't even go to school
and have stopped eating.
I gave Director Baek Jin Ki a call
to set up a meeting to sort things out.
We can really use your help, Ms. Oh.
And you will handsomely be repaid for your effort.
Don't you know that
my company is about to renew the contract with TK?
Yes, ma'am.
He said he was a law professor and used to be a prosecutor.
He acted like a complete snob.
He demanded I hand it over or delete the footage.
So I pretended to delete everything
and put aside the footage.
I knew you would help us.
You were super quick at catching on to things in prison too.
You just saved a law student's life.
Chan, the universe is really on our side this time.
Who knew he was the owner of this establishment?
Thank you, sir.
Use that to put away that snobbish jerk for good.
Will do.
You. Look me in the eyes.
Look me in the eyes and say it again. Be honest.
I'm sorry. I'll do anything you ask.
Watching Se Ryeon has been torture.
Go ahead and just kill me.
That hurts! Wait.
Hey, Kang Ja. My hair is starting to thin out!
Hey, I have a boil on my butt.
You're unbelievable!
Why did you do it?
You knew Se Ryeon was going through this all alone.
Well,
as soon as I debuted as an idol singer at 17, it flopped.
Ever since I was a teenager, my life was royally messed up.
Nothing went my way, and I did my best to survive.
And it took a lot of hard work to get to where I am now.
Kang Ja. Yoon Sang.
Do you know why I came to law school?
- Why? - Why?
- The President. - What a nut job.
I'm serious!
I barely got into law school.
The student council president said
I could get expelled if I said the wrong thing.
And things started to snowball.
I didn't want my life to get messed up again.
Gosh.
Se Ryeon.
My husband is a fool for our daughters.
He would never sexually harass anyone.
And I'm a judge. I swear on my career
What are you doing? You can't interrupt our meeting.
What's going on?
We have something to show you.
What is that?
Have you gone mad? How dare you bring this garbage in?
I don't think you can call this garbage.
What?
Evidence that wasn't obtained through the proper channel
can't be admissible.
I'm sure you know that much.
We're not in court. We're at school, sir.
School should be different.
Professor, you were once caught with a prostitute
when you were a prosecutor.
What? Where did you hear that nonsense?
Nonsense?
One of my junior cops was in the vice squad.
And he still remembers you clearly.
At the time, Prosecutor Seo was caught red-handed
when they raided the scene.
- And your last name is Seo. - Are you out of your mind?
You should have behaved yourself once you became a law professor
after resigning from your office.
In March 2019,
you sexually assaulted a TA in the school's research center.
In June 2020, you sexually harassed a student.
"You're pretty. Let's go for a drive."
In May 2021, you forced yourself
on a female student against her will at the student orientation.
- And there's plenty more. - Don't listen to them, honey.
They are talking nonsense. They are making stuff up.
Since these students aren't here to testify in person,
they can't be used as evidence.
And you collected the footage at the karaoke improperly.
You want to use that to prove my husband guilty?
In the footage,
Na Se Ryeon emerged from the room
where my husband came out while clutching onto her clothes.
That's all you have.
That's right, Director.
This footage won't be enough to prove that he's guilty.
This won't even be acknowledged in court.
Ms. Oh.
What do you think?
I would like to discuss this
in private.
I want to discuss this openly.
That will be better.
If you insist.
My goodness. What is this? What am I seeing?
Wait. Professor Seo just
On the day of the Seojung University Law School Night,
Professor Seo sexually harassed me in the hotel hallway.
I, the victim of this harassment, asked the hotel for cooperation.
I collected the evidence legally.
What do you think?
Do you think this evidence is enough to find him guilty?
No. I was just grabbing her, so we could have a drink.
Professor Seo, I can't look the other way anymore.
Everyone is overreacting about what I did.
When guys get drunk, they make mistakes and so on.
Hey, was that so bad?
I just wanted to get a drink with you.
And my hand happened to be there. Should I cut off my hand?
Fine. Yes. I touched you a bit.
But you were the one who flirted with me first.
You weren't acting very modest, so I touched you. So what?
- Professor! - Professor Seo.
- What's wrong with him? - Gosh.
You just confessed that you sexually harassed Na Se Ryeon.
- You did, didn't you? - Look at this jerk. Unbelievable.
That's enough, Professor Seo.
I'll tell the chair of the board that you had to resign
for a personal matter and that I accepted your resignation.
And that's final.
Director Baek!
Gosh.
That lunatic.
When you were a public defender,
Seo Jun Myung wiped the floor with you
for the Kim Dong Gu case, right?
Did that traumatize you for the rest of your life?
Is this your revenge?
You were humiliated with that case,
but you were hired by TK which was so random.
There were rumours, you know?
"How did an under-qualified lowlife get a job there?"
"Did she sleep with Choi Tae Guk?"
What? Is that why you have a soft spot
for girls like Na Se Ryeon?
Get your husband in order, so he doesn't do anything stupid.
If you fail,
you'll see these photos on the courthouse website.
I'm not going to sit back and let you do this.
I'll file an official complaint.
We haven't been able to find victim Jeon Na Jung's body yet.
Considering the blood at the scene where Kim Dong Gu was arrested
and the victim's blood on her ripped clothes, underwear,
and the weapon at the scene,
the total amount of blood she lost
is somewhere around 1,500cc.
And we found Kim Dong Gu's DNA and the victim's blood
from the knife Kim Dong Gu was holding.
And his DNA was found on the victim's underwear as well.
The evidence gives us a highly likely chance
that he ripped the victim's clothes and raped her
or he at least attempted to rape her although he failed
and murdered the victim with the weapon.
And right before the victim died,
the last person she talked to on the phone was Kim Dong Gu.
More importantly, Kim Dong Gu and the victim, Jeon Na Jung,
weren't siblings by birth.
They were step-siblings.
No, Dad. I really didn't do it!
Ma'am, I didn't do it. Why would I kill Na Jung?
It really wasn't me! I went to pick her up!
And I saw
Scumbag.
Die.
Burn in a pit of fire.
You crazy jerk.
Get up! I told you to get up, you jerk!
- Get up. - Gosh.
- You crazy jerk! - You.
So you raped your stepsister and killed her?
You scumbag!
You're not even human, you jerk!
- Come here. - We don't need trash like you here.
Right. I did it.
I killed her.
Fine! I killed her!
I killed her and dumped her in the ocean. So what?
- Get off me! - You jerk.
- Come here. - Come on.
Come here, you jerk.
- You scumbag. - Jerk.
Hold on.
If you keep this up, you're going to kill him.
- Yong Chul, stop beating him up. - Darn it.
All right. Let's go back to playing cards. Come on.
- Darn you. - Let's play cards.
Yong Chul. Come here.
Darn it.
Why did you do it?
The security footage.
You didn't have to go that far.
I didn't want to be "not cool".
You were really cool.
Do you want to eat with me?
What?
Well, that would be inappropriate, right?
I guess you don't like that.
I didn't do it because I liked Se Ryeon.
I like you, Professor.
The court sentences the defendant, Kim Dong Gu,
to ten years in prison.
(Defence Counsel, Defendant)
We must gain power
and have a solid foundation.
You
and I both.
So we don't get lost.
I kept my promise.
A year ago, the murder of a middle school girl
shocked the nation.
And the real culprit of the case was caught recently.
The culprit wasn't her stepbrother. He wasn't even on the suspect list.
He wasn't even questioned.
The real culprit was arrested after a year
The real culprit, No Byung Chul, was apprehended.
- The wrongfully prosecuted - But the prosecution claimed
their investigation and the trial were conducted properly.
After the arrest, Kim Dong Gu was able to prove his innocence
from the rape and murder charge of his stepsister
- and clear his felony record. - There he is.
- Congratulations on getting out! - Congratulations.
- Over here. - Here.
Tell us how you feel.
What do you plan to do next?
How does it feel to be released with the acquittal?
- Kim Dong Gu! - Tell us how you feel.
How dare you come out?
I still haven't found my daughter. Why are you out here?
Why are you here? How dare you come out?
Why are you out here? Bring my daughter back!
Bring her back!
Why Why are you

Hello.
I told you not to read while you're walking.
All right.

Have a good day.
The violation of Article
(Interview for Seojung University Law School)
(Interviewer)
Why do you want to come to law school?
There is
someone I must find.
I've wanted to see you so much.
(Why Her?)
(Next episode)
Park So Young. How did you get in here?
What are you still doing here?
To kill myself.
Because of you, people think I'm a gold digger.
I've been wronged, so I'm going to kill myself here.
Professor Oh Soo Jae is a criminal.
She made my sister die!
(Is Oh Soo Jae a murderer?)
Can they hold a lawyer responsible for aiding and abetting suicide?
Now that you looked into it, what do you think?
Did Park So Young die because of me?
Did you have in mind that there could be a real culprit?
If you're curious, find out for yourself.
(Why Her?)
(This is a work of fiction. All characters, places, incidents,)
(and organizations portrayed in this drama are fictitious.)
Okay.
She didn't recognize me.
I'm glad.
(Episode 2)
Remember your first day at the Research and Training Institute?
I could tell right away.
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
Never let your client end up in prison.
(Slammer)
I thought, "Oh Soo Jae will be the troublemaker in this batch."
I was naive back then.
I didn't know I'd become this jaded.
(Launch of Legal Clinic Center)
I believe the director position is vacant.
I'll do it.
Well, the position itself isn't that great.
You'll have many nuisances to deal with.
People say I drove Park So Young to suicide.
I was unfairly pushed out of my job due to such public opinion.
I must win the public over so I can return quickly.
I need to build favourable public opinion.
Favourable public opinion?
Then the Legal Clinic Center could help you.
But that position has been spoken for. I'm sorry.
The person you're trying to reach
Where did she go?
Excuse me.
Do you really not know where Na Jung is?
I told you. She wasn't here when I got here.
What if my boss finds out? Darn you
What? Did you just swear at me?
If Na Jung shows up, tell her to call me right away.
Okay?
Who are you?
- I'm her brother. - Her real brother?
Are you her real brother?
Yes, what else? Do you think I'm her fake brother?
Get your act together.
Na Jung!
Na Jung!
Na Jung!
The person you're trying to reach
Darn it. Just wait until I catch you.
I'll tell your mom about your part-time job.
(Green Junk Shop)

Na Jung!
Jeon Na Jung!

Na Jung. Hey, wake up.
Na Jung! Wake up!
Hello? Can someone help us?
Hey, wake up.
Hello? Help
- Thank you. Bye. - Bye!
- Best of luck. Take care! - Everything was delicious!
- Come often. - Okay!
- I'll give you lots of freebies. - My gosh! Thank you.
Bye.
(Sorry, we're closed. Please come again.)
Will Chan be home late again?
I guess he has a lot to study.
Hey, today is that day. You know
Hey, Chan is here.
Just pretend not to know anything, okay?
Hey, whenever I see him like that,
I feel so bad for him that I get angry.
Hey, law student!
They'll sell Hansu Bio
to fund Assemblyman Lee In Soo's presidential campaign.
Director Han Ki Taek will launder the money.
And these boxes must contain all the evidence.
But it won't be easy to find evidence.
Our job was to hide such evidence,
and we did a pretty meticulous job of concealing everything.
Besides, I heard Chairman Han's personal assets
were managed by Chairman Choi Tae Guk.
Chairman Choi manages Chairman Han's slush fund?
Create a list of everything the two of you hid.
One more thing.
I need you to find something you don't even know about.
That information includes something beyond your imagination.
Make sure to find it.
Something beyond your imagination.
Find it, no matter what.
(Congratulations, Managing Partner Choi Ju Wan.)
I apologize. You cannot enter, Ms. Oh.
What do you mean?
It says you're on vacation at the moment.
As you know, you cannot enter the building
when you're taking time away from work.
I'm on vacation, and I don't even know about it?
I apologize.
You should rest up and enjoy your vacation.
What brings you by, Soo Jae?
I saw that you moved the documents on Hansu Bio.
Are you here to do a handover?
I can't enter the office because of my vacation I never even requested,
and the man who stole my position from me is talking about a handover.
This keeps getting more interesting.
You may let her in.
- Yes, sir. - See you around.
- Congratulations, Mr. Choi! - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations, Mr. Choi. - Congratulations.
Thank you. I'll do my best for the continued success of TK Law Firm.
Let's welcome Mr. Choi with a big round of applause!
I want to pee!
I need to pee!
I'm so sorry, Ms. Oh.
Who brings their kid to work?
I need to pee!
But Soo Jae.
Do you think I would let all my hard work benefit someone else?
If that's the case, I would just quit.
I saw that you moved the documents on Hansu Bio.
Are you here to do a handover?
- Grandpa! - My sweet pumpkin!
My gosh, where were you?
- I was in the restroom. - Oh, I see.
Look who's here. Say hello.
Her name is Oh Soo Jae. Lawyer Oh Soo Jae.
Hello, ma'am.
My name is Choi Jae Yi.
I'm entering elementary school. I even ordered my school uniform.
Jae Yi, where have you been?
Hand all the documents over to Ju Wan.
Ju Wan will do a good job too.
Let's go.
So you ordered your school uniform, Jae Yi?
You're a big girl now.
Yes.
Professor, this is your TA. What should I do?
It looks like your class will get cancelled.
Everyone's refusing to take your class.
Why didn't you switch out?
I like Professor Oh.
Is this class going to get cancelled?
Classes with less than five students get cancelled.
It's Oh Soo Jae.
You see, I know the legal world quite well.
She will never let that happen.
Here's an announcement from Professor Oh Soo Jae.
Nice, amazing!
Among the students who are taking Basics of Fieldwork for Lawyers,
the one who gets the highest mark this semester will get to intern
at TK and receive 20,000 dollars to put toward tuition fees,
out of Professor Oh's out pocket.
When you're collecting and submitting facts and evidence,
you need to
What's going on?
Guys. My goodness.
My gosh.
I've compiled verdicts of the major cases from the past five years.
You will submit your own analysis before the end of the semester.
My lecture will take place once in a while.
You'll be graded on
Your analysis is worth 50 percent, and so is the exam.
Your lecture will take place once in a while?
Then could you tell us how you'd like us to analyse the verdicts?
Suit yourselves.
- What? What was that? - My gosh.
- What's her deal? - What was that about?
All right. Before I give these out,
I'll tell you who your supervisors are.
Group one, Professor Jung Hee Young.
Group 2, Professor Seo Jun Myung. Group 3, Professor Hong Ki Pyo.
Group four, Professor Jang Jae Soon.
Group five, Professor Park Sang Jin.
Group six, Professor Yang Ji Won.
Group seven, Professor Lee Jang Hyuk.
Group eight.
Professor Oh Soo Jae.
You'll sit with your supervisor at the upcoming event,
Seojung University Law School Night.
This is nuts. How come nothing's going my way?
I was told this was my lucky year.
I'm already liking this year much better than last year.
Aren't you in your first year?
No? You're not?
Me? This is my second year.
I got straight F's, so I'm retaking everything.
We're all in the same group, right?
Oh, right?
Don't hang out with me. Your grades will drop to my level.
Mr. Lee, what's next on your official schedule?
Why did you choose the National Cemetery as your first stop?
I will live up to the people's expectations of me.
Assemblyman Lee In Soo!
It's okay. Let him.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
My gosh, everyone is working so hard.
You didn't have to wait outside.
Let's go inside.
- Sir. - What is it?
(Hansu Bio Financial Statements)
Darn it!
Sir.
Open this, Ms. Song.
- Pardon me? - What are you waiting for? Open it.
Without Ms. Oh's permission, I can't
Do you not know that Ms. Oh also works for me?
Don't just stand around. Open it at once!
My gosh.
She took all the documents and put in a comic book?
I'm getting goosebumps all over. She sure has a lot of nerve.
I give her that.
Soo Jae, that cheeky brat.
Ms. Oh!
My gosh. You should've at least given me a heads-up.
I almost peed my pants!
You like comic books.
I got it for you.
Chairman Choi was fuming mad.
I thought he was going to kill me.
(2022 Seojung University Law School Night)
(Law Professional of the Year, Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm)
Is this world a just place?
Unfortunately, the world we live in is not a just place.
Then is it a fair place? No, never.
Such injustice and unfairness will continue to prevail.
Things may even get worse.
However, we have the law, our last bastion of hope.
In this world, which is never fair or just,
the law must be applied equally to everyone,
and you must dutifully carry out your responsibilities.
Law professionals who defend justice by making sure the law
won't falter before money and power.
That is the path that I
and my fellow Seojung law professionals have chosen.
I truly hope that all of you here will do the same.
I will help you in every way I can.
Use me all you want.
I will gladly be used for the sake of your bright futures.
Thank you very much for choosing Seojung University Law School.
Two special guests
took time out of their busy schedules to join us today.
Chairman Han Sung Bum, who always gives us
all the support we need.
And Assemblyman Lee In Soo, the Seojung graduate we're so proud of.
Please welcome them with a big round of applause.
Congratulations, sir. I should've brought you some flowers.
Why did you do that?
Why did you have to provoke the two of them like that?
Let's be honest. Chairman Choi has ditched you.
Am I wrong?
Just return all the documents and take good care of the sell-off.
Then I'll help you so that you can open a nice law firm of your own.
You know that I helped Chairman Choi get to where he is today.
Hand over the documents to me,
and I'll create a nice position for you.
I always thought that you had too much to offer
to just keep working under Chairman Choi.
Once my campaign office is set up, you can be my spokesperson.
If you'd like, you can join me in the Blue House too.
One step at a time.
What are you thinking? What on earth are you cooking up?
What are you thinking, sir?
Do you really not know why I sent people to Hansu Group
to get all those documents?
Right.
To secure the managing partner position
and spearhead the sale of Hansu Bio,
you made sure to get your hands on the documents.
But you lost both, so I understand why you're angry.
However, Soo Jae
I'm having my son take care of it. My own son.
It's a two billion dollar deal.
The commission alone will be 70 million dollars.
It's a huge undertaking.
Do you really think Mr. Choi Ju Wan can handle it?
What is it that you want?
Getting back the managing partner position?
No, that'd be too embarrassing.
Everyone in the industry knows that I was ousted
and have been exiled to the law school.
I'll find my way back.
However, the sale of Hansu Bio.
Let me be the one in charge.
I won't get in Mr. Choi's way.
Managing Partner Choi Ju Wan, the son of Chairman Choi Tae Guk.
Everyone knows who he is.
Taking me by surprise with the comic book,
and once again with those documents.
Making my son stay to be the face of the firm.
You really have grown a lot.
I learned from the best.
I'm always grateful for everything you've done for me, sir.
Thanks.
Ms. Oh!
Should I call you Professor Oh now?
You look amazing.
What do you do for your skin? You look like you're still in your 20s.
I see that you still haven't quit this habit.
Grow up.
Why should I?
You should always stay young at heart.
Come on. Let's go!
- Let's grab a drink together. - Do you want to end up in jail?
Get off of me.
Come on! Don't be so sensitive.
People would think I groped you or something.
Don't be like this. You're putting me on the spot.
I'm just so happy to see you.
- Are you all right? - Hey, who are you?
Professor Oh, are you okay?
You little punk. Who are you?
I am Gong Chan in 1L year, Professor Seo Jun Myung.
You're in your first year? How dare you
Should I call the police?
Or
Shall we watch that together?
You must be out of your mind. Hey!
Just leave.
I do not want this to turn into a commotion, so leave quietly.
I can't believe this.
Apologize to her before you leave.
How dare you stop me?
You'd better stay out of my sight.
If you're in my class, drop it. You got that?
- Why would you let him walk away? - What?
You need to make him apologize so he'd know what he did wrong.
Why aren't you asking me to apologize?
Sorry?
I
slapped you in the face, twice.
Oh, that.
Because I was fine.
You seemed to be under a lot of stress that day,
so I just thought,
"It's fine if that helped her feel better."
Even so, I should apologize.
I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.
And about today, could you pretend you didn't see it?
Sure.
Oh, right.
One more thing.
Don't meddle in my business again, whatever it may be.
I don't like it when others stick their nose in my business.
Oh, just a moment.
Choi Yoon Sang!
Must I run into you like this?
You should've come home on your mother's death anniversary.
If only you'd been that good to her when she was alive.
Ju Wan is the firm's managing partner now.
You should join TK soon too.
Do you really think Ju Wan can handle it?
You should've kept Soo Jae in the position
had you wanted the firm to do well.
How could you give it to her and take it back?
Ju Wan can do it. Don't belittle your brother.
To me, Choi Ju Wan is just a piece of trash.
He's your brother. How dare you
I'm off, Dad.
Soo Jae.
- Hey! - What?
I can't believe you have to retake 1L-year classes.
You even retook the CSAT.
There's one thing I'm grateful to my dad for.
Hiring this amazing tutor for me
when I was studying to retake the CSAT.
I think I can totally focus on my studies this year, thanks to you.
School is so much fun all of a sudden.
Do not call me by my first name at school.
Not even as a mistake.
Make a mistake, and I will kill you.
You'll come to the after-party, right?
Are you leaving?
Soo Jae!
Cranky as ever.
(Karaoke)
- This is nuts. - I can't believe this.
- How could he do such a thing? - It's horrible.
- Shouldn't he be reprimanded? - Is this for real?
Professor Seo Jun Myung sexually assaulted me.
I am Na Se Ryeon, a proud 1L law student at Seojung University.
At Seojung University Law School Night's after-party,
Professor Seo Jun Myung sexually assaulted me.
He touched and kissed me,
and I felt humiliated.
You touched me!
What are you talking about? I just brushed against you.
It's not like I molested you or something.
You did. You touched my breasts,
my waist,
and even my butt.
Me? Hey, Na Se Ryeon.
You got the wrong idea.
Wrong idea? Don't give me that nonsense.
Hey, Nam Chun Poong. You tell us.
You saw it too.
What? Yes.
You idiot. How long has this been up here?
When was this put up here?
What are you doing? Take it down!
Yes, sir.
She took all that time to write such gibberish?
What a lunatic.
Don't be nervous. Relax and tell us what happened.
We took down your post.
It could ruin the school's reputation,
and you could actually be sued for defamation.
Professor Seo always gets high ratings from his students.
His lectures are great,
and he always helps his students land good jobs upon graduation.
You know he was a senior prosecutor before joining the school.
So what?
What does that have to do with me?
We spoke with him to check the facts before we called you here.
The karaoke room was dark.
And I admit that I was drunk.
I think I wobbled a little because I was tipsy.
I remember falling toward Na Se Ryeon.
I guess I brushed against her or something. I don't remember.
I'm telling you the facts.
Right, Nam Chun Poong was there too.
You can ask him.
Professor Seo said that was what happened. Is it true?
Think carefully before you answer.
Think carefully?
Professor Seo could sue you both,
and you could also be expelled from school.
Yes, it's true.
Chun Poong said that?
So just admit that you got the wrong idea
and apologize to Professor Seo.
My gosh.
This is beyond ridiculous.
- What? - Na Se Ryeon.
- We're trying to help you. - As if!
Forget it.
Just stay out of it, okay?
Hey, Na Se Ryeon.
Na Se Ryeon!
Na Se Ryeon.
Why did you do something like that?
How did you misunderstand so badly?
I'm so shocked and angry,
but I decided to forgive you
since you're a clueless 1L student.
So post a public apology
and don't make a mistake like that again. Do you understand?
You should be the one to apologize, Professor.
You should post a public apology!
You haven't gotten your thoughts in order yet, I see.
It's okay. I can understand.
But it's a fact that you misunderstood.
Don't deny that.
Get going, all of you.
Your staring is going to make Se Ryeon feel worse.
You really don't know how this world works.
People really can't escape their lowly origins, I suppose.
Maybe they have lower intelligence or dirty blood.
You dirty punk.
You killed her.
You raped your stepsister,
killed her, and threw her body in the ocean.
Look. I said look, you punk.
It's not true. I'm not the culprit.
I really didn't do it.
Look. You dirty punk.
You lowlife.
Dirty blood.
Look! Look, you punk!
Be smart.
What do you think you're doing, punk?
A person like you shouldn't be here.
What?
Like me?
What? Like me?
You lowlife.
I told you to stay out of my sight.
Why you little
You little punk.
Come here, you punk. Who are you?
Please stop, Professor.
Who are you, punk? Who do you think you are?
- Professor. Stop. - Get over here.
Come here, punk.
- I said come here! - Please stop!
- Come here, punk. Let go! - Please calm down, sir.
Get over here, punk!
- Come here! - You stop too.
Who is it? Tell me.
Tell me who did this!
Tell me his name right now.
We're going to get all of our friends together to kill him.
Are you a gangster? In what area?
I know most of the gangsters in and around Seoul.
She used to be a police detective.
Hey, Kang Ja.
We're not gangsters. Right, Jo Gab?
- Jo Gab? - Oh, what?
We're really nice, right?
Of course, we're nice.
Let's be nice and bring some yummy food.
What do you like?
- All of it. - Of course.
Gosh. She wants to eat everything.
Save me
I hate getting in the middle of other people's business.
But let me ask one question. Did you see or didn't you?
What?
Professor Seo had a similar incident last year.
It ended with the girl leaving the school.
That's right. It's a habit.
They don't just suddenly start.
Hey. Look me in the eyes.
Look me straight in the eyes.
Did you see Professor Seo do something or not?
It's true that Se Ryeon misunderstood,
and Professor Seo isn't a molester. That's a fact.
And I no longer want to be involved in this.
I can't let this mess up my life.
These kids are so scary.
You can tell what kind of people they are by looking at their family.
Seriously. What is she thinking, making up lies
and framing Professor Seo?
She wrote that she'll seek legal action. How cute.
What did Director Baek say?
He didn't say much.
You know he doesn't like messy things.
He dislikes getting his hands dirty even more.
We can wrap things up ourselves.
Let's go back to limiting candidates from certain schools next year.
Yes, let's.
That's how she stayed there until the end.
I hated seeing how desperate she was.
Na Se Ryeon is in Group Eight, right?
The dregs of the entire class that we dumped on Oh Soo Jae.
Please don't be late for meetings.
Is my group the dregs of the class?
Na Se Ryeon.
You're her supervisor. Make sure she apologizes to Professor Seo.
- Why should I? - She keeps making things up
and making trouble for Professor Seo.
Professor Jung,
it's easy to forget you used to be a judge.
What?
Okay. About Na Se Ryeon. If there's no other way,
let's suspend her or have her drop out.
I mean, if you went to that kind of place with your professor,
you should lift the mood and shake the tambourine at least.
She's making this mess when she went there voluntarily?
I thought my colleagues were dirty, but professors are no joke either.
But I guess everyone is basically the same
since our community is so small. Don't you think?
- That - Goodness.
Pathetic losers.
(Seojung University)
Professor.
Help me.
I want an apology from Professor Seo.
That's not going to happen for you.
Last spring
You're the girl from General Affairs who got fired
after reporting to management
that she was sexually harassed by an intern lawyer.
That's you, right?
You should've learned from experience.
You let it happen again?
And you want me to help you?
In Korea,
the law isn't on the woman's side when she gets sexually assaulted.
Do you think school is going to be any different?
You should be the one to apologize to Professor Seo
for putting up a poster and posting the audio file.
Beg.
Get him to forgive you no matter what. That's the answer.
You could be sued for defamation and get expelled.
You didn't come to law school just for that to happen.
Just focus
on why you came here.
Professor.
Se Ryeon didn't do anything wrong. Why did you tell her to apologize?
You know Professor Seo. That day, you also
I thought I told you
to forget what you saw that day
and to stay out of my business.
I told you I don't like people getting in my business.
I don't like you, Professor.
I don't know what you have done for TK Law Firm.
I don't know how you've lived your life.
But asking Se Ryeon to apologize to someone like Professor Seo
That's so not cool.
That's not who you really are.
Who I really am?
If we let this go, Professor Seo will do this again.
Then it won't be Professor Seo's fault. It'll be ours.
Do you want that to happen?
That's really not cool.
Se Ryeon doesn't have any power, so when she gets angry,
nobody listens and she only gets attacked.
But you have power, Professor.
Use your power to get angry.
Professor, you used to be a cool person.
You.
Do you like Na Se Ryeon?
Do you like Na Se Ryeon? Is that why you're saying this?
No. It's not that
If you want to do something for the girl you like,
you need something undeniable.
If you want to beat Professor Seo, find undeniable evidence.
What good is a poster or an audio file?
If I bring something undeniable for the girl I like,
are you going to help?
I really didn't want to get involved.
Ms. Oh.
Things are so tough for my son-in-law.
What do I do, Mom?
Goodness.
My daughter hasn't been able to eat for days.
My husband is the sweetest dad to my daughters.
My daughters are so shocked that they can't even go to school
and have stopped eating.
I gave Director Baek Jin Ki a call
to set up a meeting to sort things out.
We can really use your help, Ms. Oh.
And you will handsomely be repaid for your effort.
Don't you know that
my company is about to renew the contract with TK?
Yes, ma'am.
He said he was a law professor and used to be a prosecutor.
He acted like a complete snob.
He demanded I hand it over or delete the footage.
So I pretended to delete everything
and put aside the footage.
I knew you would help us.
You were super quick at catching on to things in prison too.
You just saved a law student's life.
Chan, the universe is really on our side this time.
Who knew he was the owner of this establishment?
Thank you, sir.
Use that to put away that snobbish jerk for good.
Will do.
You. Look me in the eyes.
Look me in the eyes and say it again. Be honest.
I'm sorry. I'll do anything you ask.
Watching Se Ryeon has been torture.
Go ahead and just kill me.
That hurts! Wait.
Hey, Kang Ja. My hair is starting to thin out!
Hey, I have a boil on my butt.
You're unbelievable!
Why did you do it?
You knew Se Ryeon was going through this all alone.
Well,
as soon as I debuted as an idol singer at 17, it flopped.
Ever since I was a teenager, my life was royally messed up.
Nothing went my way, and I did my best to survive.
And it took a lot of hard work to get to where I am now.
Kang Ja. Yoon Sang.
Do you know why I came to law school?
- Why? - Why?
- The President. - What a nut job.
I'm serious!
I barely got into law school.
The student council president said
I could get expelled if I said the wrong thing.
And things started to snowball.
I didn't want my life to get messed up again.
Gosh.
Se Ryeon.
My husband is a fool for our daughters.
He would never sexually harass anyone.
And I'm a judge. I swear on my career
What are you doing? You can't interrupt our meeting.
What's going on?
We have something to show you.
What is that?
Have you gone mad? How dare you bring this garbage in?
I don't think you can call this garbage.
What?
Evidence that wasn't obtained through the proper channel
can't be admissible.
I'm sure you know that much.
We're not in court. We're at school, sir.
School should be different.
Professor, you were once caught with a prostitute
when you were a prosecutor.
What? Where did you hear that nonsense?
Nonsense?
One of my junior cops was in the vice squad.
And he still remembers you clearly.
At the time, Prosecutor Seo was caught red-handed
when they raided the scene.
- And your last name is Seo. - Are you out of your mind?
You should have behaved yourself once you became a law professor
after resigning from your office.
In March 2019,
you sexually assaulted a TA in the school's research center.
In June 2020, you sexually harassed a student.
"You're pretty. Let's go for a drive."
In May 2021, you forced yourself
on a female student against her will at the student orientation.
- And there's plenty more. - Don't listen to them, honey.
They are talking nonsense. They are making stuff up.
Since these students aren't here to testify in person,
they can't be used as evidence.
And you collected the footage at the karaoke improperly.
You want to use that to prove my husband guilty?
In the footage,
Na Se Ryeon emerged from the room
where my husband came out while clutching onto her clothes.
That's all you have.
That's right, Director.
This footage won't be enough to prove that he's guilty.
This won't even be acknowledged in court.
Ms. Oh.
What do you think?
I would like to discuss this
in private.
I want to discuss this openly.
That will be better.
If you insist.
My goodness. What is this? What am I seeing?
Wait. Professor Seo just
On the day of the Seojung University Law School Night,
Professor Seo sexually harassed me in the hotel hallway.
I, the victim of this harassment, asked the hotel for cooperation.
I collected the evidence legally.
What do you think?
Do you think this evidence is enough to find him guilty?
No. I was just grabbing her, so we could have a drink.
Professor Seo, I can't look the other way anymore.
Everyone is overreacting about what I did.
When guys get drunk, they make mistakes and so on.
Hey, was that so bad?
I just wanted to get a drink with you.
And my hand happened to be there. Should I cut off my hand?
Fine. Yes. I touched you a bit.
But you were the one who flirted with me first.
You weren't acting very modest, so I touched you. So what?
- Professor! - Professor Seo.
- What's wrong with him? - Gosh.
You just confessed that you sexually harassed Na Se Ryeon.
- You did, didn't you? - Look at this jerk. Unbelievable.
That's enough, Professor Seo.
I'll tell the chair of the board that you had to resign
for a personal matter and that I accepted your resignation.
And that's final.
Director Baek!
Gosh.
That lunatic.
When you were a public defender,
Seo Jun Myung wiped the floor with you
for the Kim Dong Gu case, right?
Did that traumatize you for the rest of your life?
Is this your revenge?
You were humiliated with that case,
but you were hired by TK which was so random.
There were rumours, you know?
"How did an under-qualified lowlife get a job there?"
"Did she sleep with Choi Tae Guk?"
What? Is that why you have a soft spot
for girls like Na Se Ryeon?
Get your husband in order, so he doesn't do anything stupid.
If you fail,
you'll see these photos on the courthouse website.
I'm not going to sit back and let you do this.
I'll file an official complaint.
We haven't been able to find victim Jeon Na Jung's body yet.
Considering the blood at the scene where Kim Dong Gu was arrested
and the victim's blood on her ripped clothes, underwear,
and the weapon at the scene,
the total amount of blood she lost
is somewhere around 1,500cc.
And we found Kim Dong Gu's DNA and the victim's blood
from the knife Kim Dong Gu was holding.
And his DNA was found on the victim's underwear as well.
The evidence gives us a highly likely chance
that he ripped the victim's clothes and raped her
or he at least attempted to rape her although he failed
and murdered the victim with the weapon.
And right before the victim died,
the last person she talked to on the phone was Kim Dong Gu.
More importantly, Kim Dong Gu and the victim, Jeon Na Jung,
weren't siblings by birth.
They were step-siblings.
No, Dad. I really didn't do it!
Ma'am, I didn't do it. Why would I kill Na Jung?
It really wasn't me! I went to pick her up!
And I saw
Scumbag.
Die.
Burn in a pit of fire.
You crazy jerk.
Get up! I told you to get up, you jerk!
- Get up. - Gosh.
- You crazy jerk! - You.
So you raped your stepsister and killed her?
You scumbag!
You're not even human, you jerk!
- Come here. - We don't need trash like you here.
Right. I did it.
I killed her.
Fine! I killed her!
I killed her and dumped her in the ocean. So what?
- Get off me! - You jerk.
- Come here. - Come on.
Come here, you jerk.
- You scumbag. - Jerk.
Hold on.
If you keep this up, you're going to kill him.
- Yong Chul, stop beating him up. - Darn it.
All right. Let's go back to playing cards. Come on.
- Darn you. - Let's play cards.
Yong Chul. Come here.
Darn it.
Why did you do it?
The security footage.
You didn't have to go that far.
I didn't want to be "not cool".
You were really cool.
Do you want to eat with me?
What?
Well, that would be inappropriate, right?
I guess you don't like that.
I didn't do it because I liked Se Ryeon.
I like you, Professor.
The court sentences the defendant, Kim Dong Gu,
to ten years in prison.
(Defence Counsel, Defendant)
We must gain power
and have a solid foundation.
You
and I both.
So we don't get lost.
I kept my promise.
A year ago, the murder of a middle school girl
shocked the nation.
And the real culprit of the case was caught recently.
The culprit wasn't her stepbrother. He wasn't even on the suspect list.
He wasn't even questioned.
The real culprit was arrested after a year
The real culprit, No Byung Chul, was apprehended.
- The wrongfully prosecuted - But the prosecution claimed
their investigation and the trial were conducted properly.
After the arrest, Kim Dong Gu was able to prove his innocence
from the rape and murder charge of his stepsister
- and clear his felony record. - There he is.
- Congratulations on getting out! - Congratulations.
- Over here. - Here.
Tell us how you feel.
What do you plan to do next?
How does it feel to be released with the acquittal?
- Kim Dong Gu! - Tell us how you feel.
How dare you come out?
I still haven't found my daughter. Why are you out here?
Why are you here? How dare you come out?
Why are you out here? Bring my daughter back!
Bring her back!
Why Why are you

All right.

(Interviewer)
Why do you want to come to law school?
There is
someone I must find.
I've wanted to see you so much.
(Why Her?)
(Next episode)
Park So Young. How did you get in here?
What are you still doing here?
To kill myself.
Because of you, people think I'm a gold digger.
I've been wronged, so I'm going to kill myself here.
Professor Oh Soo Jae is a criminal.
She made my sister die!
(Is Oh Soo Jae a murderer?)
Can they hold a lawyer responsible for aiding and abetting suicide?
Now that you looked into it, what do you think?
Did Park So Young die because of me?
Did you have in mind that there could be a real culprit?
If you're curious, find out for yourself.
