Hyena (2020) s01e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
1
THIS DRAMA IS PURELY FICTIONAL
AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH
ACTUAL PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, ASSOCIATIONS,
OR LOCATIONS
I feel bad for your designer suit.
I thought I'd see you before I leave.
It hurts to see
that look of despair on your face.
It would've been nice
if you had stopped the press releases.
-I apologize.
-Don't apologize.
It was a fight between my children.
You knew it was bound to happen one day.
Chan-ho needs to come to his senses.
If he doesn't,
Hye-won will be unstoppable.
I'm glad things wrapped up
before the board meeting.
Which law firm represented Hye-won again?
I've never heard of it before.
About Hye-won's attorney
You know him, don't you?
He's Yoon Hee-jae,
a partner at Song & Kim.
You're unbelievable.
You had both cards up your sleeve.
If the fight turned into a serious one,
the minority stockholders of Issume
could've tried to replace the CEO
with someone else.
My job is to make sure Issume
stays with the Ha family.
So my priority was to make sure
someone in the family becomes the CEO.
Right.
Everyone is here, sir.
-Okay. You should come with me.
-Yes, sir.
Song & Kim will continue
to represent Issume.
And I also advise you to hire
your personal attorneys
from Song & Kim as well.
Hye-won, I want you to go
on a business trip
to South America for about three months.
Why don't we all have a drink?
It's not easy
to gather everyone like this.
You may leave now.
Goodbye.
I'll hand in
my resignation letter tomorrow.
I waited because I wanted
to tell you in person.
I'm sorry, sir.
JD Law Firm is working with Ha Hye-won?
It won't be easy
as long as Ha Chan-ho holds out.
But they do have a shot,
considering the current situation.
Are you saying Ha Chan-ho is
out of his mind because of his mistress?
If there's even the slightest chance
that JD Law Firm can appoint
Ha Hye-won as CEO,
we need to be prepared.
Officially, Song & Kim
needs to support Ha Chan-ho.
That's what Chairman Ha wants,
and it's what we promised.
Sir.
JD Law Firm supporting Ha Hye-won,
Song & Kim supporting Ha Chan-ho.
If things go haywire,
both sides might lose.
The stockholders of Issume
might suggest hiring a professional
from outside the company.
If they don't choose Song & Kim,
we'll end up losing Issume as our client.
And your choice is Ha Hye-won?
I can win.
I know it's a big risk,
but I kind of want both.
I'll make sure Song & Kim stays hidden.
The name of our law firm won't appear
in any of the documents.
If anyone finds out, you'll get disbarred.
Are you confident?
Yes.
I know nothing about this.
I understand
that you risked your job for this.
But you can't quit
without my consent. That's the rule.
You think I'm going to let you quit
and just forget about what happened?
No way.
Song & Kim didn't lose, but you did.
So I'm going to hand over all your clients
to the other attorneys.
I want you to start over
and think carefully about
why you lost.
Maybe you were too conceited.
So this is it with Ha Chan-ho?
They want us to take the money
and get lost.
You did all the hard work
and still got rejected.
I bet they'll choose Song & Kim again.
No matter how hard we try,
we'll never go mainstream.
I want you to spread the rumor,
Ha Chan-ho versus Ha Hye-won.
Ha Chan-ho wins
thanks to his attorney, Jung Geum-ja.
You sound fine, but I know it hurts
deep down inside.
You're hurting me even more.
-Do you want some soju?
-Why do you even ask?
CLEAR SOJU
Let me crack an egg for you.
Here's a soju and beer bomb.
Hey, what happened?
Why do you look like a mess?
I heard she withdrew the suit.
Then what about Prosecutor Kwon?
Did he get nothing?
No, wait a minute.
That's not what's important.
Hee-jae, what are you going to do now?
Give us the entire bottle.
Gi-hyeok.
Can you please let me drink in peace?
Let's go now.
It costs over 100 billion won?
I recently checked with the realtor.
We still have a long way to go.
Any calls from the rich?
You need to meet Mr. Gang
from We Wire Money.
That fucking jerk in a suit.
He just wants to sleep with me.
What a fucking jerk.
The rumor is spreading quite slowly.
It would've spread quickly
if I won in court.
The rich already have their own attorneys,
so they're probably just hesitant.
It'll stay that way
until something big happens.
LAW OFFICE CHOONG
Call all the clients on the list
-and get me a meeting within the week.
-Call them all.
-Except for Thursdays.
-Except for Thursdays.
-Let me get some work.
-We're here. This is Law Office Choong.
But it's locked.
Maybe we should've called beforehand.
Please come inside.
You can wait there.
Come inside and take a seat.
You can sit here.
Thank you.
I'm Well
I can't believe you even memorize
classical music.
Yoon Hee-jae likes classical music.
I need to know enough
to talk about it so we can click.
My gosh, why is he interested
in so much random stuff?
I get that he likes
mystery books and soccer.
But why classical music of all genres?
Ko I-man.
He's a world-famous genius violinist.
I don't care how much it costs. There's
a limited LP record of his premiere.
-Get me one.
-It'll be really expensive.
It's an investment.
Don't think of it as a waste.
So how can I help you?
Well, first of all,
I'd like to discuss the issue with you.
Did you bring the management contract?
No.
I can't give you a detailed consultation
just by listening to your story.
Send me a copy of the contract.
I've never done this kind of thing before,
so let me ask you something.
Is it possible to change
the contents of the contract?
Yes, if you find it unreasonable.
What if the agency disapproves?
-Then we'll have to file a lawsuit.
-"A lawsuit"?
I can't do that.
We can also settle the issue
instead of taking things to court.
That won't be easy.
Well
Whether we settle or file a lawsuit,
I'm sure you came to see an attorney
for a good reason.
It seems you feel uneasy
about butting heads with your agency.
You need to put aside
your personal feelings about this
and focus only on yourself.
Well
The thing is, that's not easy to do.
Why is everything so difficult?
The head of the agency
is actually my mom.
So you're really losing half your clients?
It's more than half.
People are already talking.
They think you got on Mr. Song's bad side.
They keep asking me what happened
And of course, I tell them I don't know.
What would I know? I know nothing.
Where are you going? Wait up.
You must be happy.
Your workload decreased by half.
I thought you wanted some fresh air.
Let's go outside.
Never mind. This place looks fine.
Ms. Boo, are you here for coffee?
I was right. You're here for coffee.
Do you have something to say?
No.
How is everything?
I've been hearing rumors about you.
You're still on the D&T case, right?
-Of course.
-I bet you have a lot on your mind.
I have something to cool you off.
-You like classical music, right?
-Yes, I love it.
Classical music is the best.
I have tickets to a recital.
Would you like to go?
-Together?
-I won't be able to make it.
You guys should go together.
To be honest,
I don't like classical music.
It's okay.
You can give it to someone else.
I heard he's your favorite artist.
How do you know
who his favorite artist is?
The secretaries told me
after they saw this ticket.
They told me he's your favorite artist.
How do the secretaries know that?
KOIMAN RECITAL
It was amazing!
That's a limited edition of my premiere.
Where did you get it?
Would you like my autograph?
-You can use this.
-Thank you.
What's your name?
His name is Yoon Hee-jae.
I guess you two know each other.
Not yet.
Ta-da.
What? This is not
the kind of reaction I expected.
Do you know how hard it was to get this?
Here's my answer.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
-It's J, A, E.
-Oh, okay.
Thank you.
You don't look that happy.
You just got an autograph
from your favorite artist.
What are you planning this time?
And how do you know him?
You know what?
I don't want to listen to you.
Forget it.
I bet you're just looking around
for another rich client.
I'm an attorney too, you know.
Attorney, my ass.
What kind of attorney are you?
One who catches vermin?
You don't care about your clients.
I say you're vermin.
I guess you're better now,
seeing that you're able to talk.
You looked extremely hurt that day,
and it honestly upset me.
You must be enjoying this,
judging by that smile on your face.
But you see,
you disgust me.
I hope we never meet again.
-So stop acting like you know me.
-My gosh.
Hee-sun!
My gosh, did you get a haircut?
I almost didn't recognize you.
-Hee-jae.
-Hey.
Why are you covering your face?
-I thought you moved to the US.
-I know, right?
What's going on?
-Are you guys still dating?
-Look at you making a joke.
What are you doing here?
You know Hwang Mi-ra, right?
The queen of connections.
I got to know her a little.
Do you see this?
She's also close with Ha Chan-ho.
Wait. She should be here.
I'll introduce you guys to her.
I can do that much.
-You should say
-Yu-mi.
Why don't we just get out here?
I really need some fresh air.
-It's suffocating in here. Let's go.
-Why?
-Go?
-Yes, let's catch up.
But I like it here.
-No, it sucks.
-Are you sure?
-Hey, hold this. But I like it here.
-I know a famous restaurant.
-A famous restaurant?
-Yes.
Let's go.
This is a famous restaurant?
It doesn't look like it.
You'll change your mind
once you eat the food.
By the way,
you guys totally left me speechless.
I'm talking about
when you guys left the reunion.
Let's be honest. Things worked out
between you guys thanks to me.
-Am I wrong?
-Nothing worked out.
-We never even dated.
-We broke up.
What? You guys broke up already?
My gosh, you broke up?
My goodness, what happened?
Beats me. I have no idea.
Why would you say that?
Don't ask me.
You're the one who had a hard time
getting over me after we broke up.
And look at you. You came to see me again.
You're still such a stuck-up jerk.
Hee-sun, I'm really curious.
What do you like about him?
Is it because
-he cleans up nicely?
-I tend not to care
about a guy's character.
What about you, Hee-jae?
Are you going to date her again?
What are you going to do?
She came all the way from the US
just for you.
That's a pity.
I'm already seeing someone else.
Did you know that?
You didn't know, did you?
I found out earlier.
He moved on and started
seeing someone else pretty quickly.
Women are all the same.
To me, they're just like accessories.
You're so mean.
You told me that you loved me so much
and that you meant every word.
You even told me
that I was your first love.
This is why the only person
you can ever trust is yourself.
No, Hee-sun.
I think it's because Hee-jae was hurt.
-Me?
-When guys get hurt,
they try to move on really quickly.
Am I right?
What? Why would I get hurt?
Because I broke up with you?
My gosh, are you serious?
You dumped him first?
No wonder.
Did you start regretting it
after you dumped him?
I'm done with him.
He's already seeing someone else,
so I should give up.
Excuse me.
Two bottles of cheongju, please.
Yu-mi, are you still a lousy drinker?
-Do you still knock out easily?
-Yes.
But I want to drink tonight.
I really want to get drunk.
You should pay.
I'm totally broke right now
because you refused
to take on my divorce suit.
But you worked so hard
on Ha Chan-ho's divorce.
By the way,
Hwang Mi-ra told me that you lost.
Serves you right.
I heard the opponent's attorney
totally had you by the balls.
Gosh, that's hilarious.
Sorry. I'm trying not to laugh.
No, it's okay. Let's just forget
what happened in the past.
Let's forget about it.
-Yu-mi, bottoms up.
-Bottoms up!
Another round!
-What? Again?
-You're on fire, Yu-mi.
I hope we never meet again.
Okay, I get it.
How many times are you going to say that?
While we're on that subject,
and because I'm a little drunk
-What is it?
-Gosh.
Were you going to ask
if I liked you even the slightest bit?
-I must've guessed correctly.
-Let's say you did.
-Is that really important?
-What if it is?
You're sexy. I'll give you that.
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I want to know if you liked me
from the bottom of your heart.
Why is that important?
I thought you never wanted to meet again.
Because I want to know how you feel.
How could you make Seo Jeong-hwa
get back together with Ha Chan-ho?
She totally hates him.
How could you send her back
to that hellhole?
Are you really that cruel?
You make it sound like
you sincerely care about Seo Jeong-hwa.
You sided with Ha Hye-won
because you despise Ha Chan-ho.
That's not important right now.
I'm the one who asked you a question.
Yes, I'm cruel.
I hope that's the answer you wanted.
Back then,
I was never
sincere toward you, even for a moment.
-Really?
-Yes, really.
Then have you ever been sincere
toward anyone in your life?
You have too many questions.
-Tell me.
-No, never.
What else?
Well, is Jung Geum-ja your real name?
No, it's not. I bought the name.
Is there anything that's not fake
in your life?
This woman
who is looking at you right now is real.
The woman that I was in the past
and will be in the future isn't me.
Do you understand, Mr. Yoon Hee-jae?
As for me,
the man that I was in the past
and will be in the future is also me.
That is the big difference between us.
You only live in the moment.
That's unfortunate.
You throw it out.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
Let's go for another drink.
Hey! We should go for another round.
Wait, I'm not
Gosh, I'm
Goodness, I'm exhausted.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
-Let's take a five-minute break.
-Okay.
You're here. So what do you think?
I can't believe you agreed to this.
I never did.
My mom has always taken care
of these things for me.
The contract is for 15 years.
And it'll automatically renew
for the same duration if no one objects.
At what age did you sign this?
I'm not too sure. Why do you ask?
Your mother signed this contract
on your behalf when you were a minor.
And if the contractual terms
only benefit your mother,
it can be annulled according to
Article 921 of the Civil Code.
-Pardon?
-I'm saying it can be nullified.
Also, the profit distribution ratio
overly favors the agency.
On top of that, there are so many
unfair, inhumane clauses.
Dating and social media use
aren't allowed.
And you must follow all the rules?
I mean, how old are you?
CONTRAC
Your mother is really something.
-Sorry?
-She sure knows
how to make money off her son.
My mom is not a terrible person though.
She is my mother, after all.
Mr. Ko.
What would you like to do?
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
To be freed from this.
Yes, I want to get out of this contract.
Then I'll meet your mother first.
I'll meet her and see if we can revise
the unfair provisions.
If not, we'll go to trial.
-Trial?
-Who's that lady?
Mom.
You need to get some rest
if the rehearsal is over.
What are you doing?
-I told you to screen all visitors.
-My apologies, ma'am.
Mom, she's my guest.
-Your guest?
-Yes.
Who is she?
It's rude to visit you
before your recital.
Why do you have this?
Hello, I'm attorney Jung Geum-ja.
Attorney?
Do your job properly, will you?
Cancel the recital.
Mom, let me explain. The recital
Drag her out of here at once!
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
Let's go.
Ms. Jung.
I'll go to court.
RECITAL CANCELED
Would it be okay to proceed
with the lawsuit like this?
He wants to do it, you know.
I'm not sure
if he'll be able to handle it.
Is it because he's a musician?
He has no idea how the world works.
He can learn now.
And he should, to be a real adult.
Let's send out a press release.
From Jung Geum-ja, Law Office Choong.
Yes, ma'am.
THE RECITAL HAS BEEN CANCELED
This foreign exchange balance
needs to be taken care of.
Come in.
Mr. Song wants me to assign
one of my team's cases to you.
Which one will be good?
Ms. Boo. Why don't you
give him one of your cases?
Oh, here's an idea.
Give him something small.
Something that's just this thick.
Is there something I don't know?
Otherwise, why would he have you
work on an associate lawyer's case?
Well, every lawsuit is important.
You sound defeated for some reason.
Hold on a second.
Mr. Ko's agency got in touch with me
regarding the case
through my friend
who gave me tickets to his recital.
Did you enjoy the recital?
Well, thank you for the tickets.
Mr. Ko sued his mother.
I'll take this case.
KO I-MAN REPRESENTED
BY ATTORNEY JUNG GEUM-JA
I know that the agency is our client,
but none of the contract clauses are fair.
If it goes to trial,
we'll definitely be put
-at a disadvantage.
-Do we settle?
Let me ask you another favor
since you're helping me anyway.
Meet his attorney in person
and suggest our conditions.
You want me to meet her?
For this case, I think it'd be best
to keep my name out of all the paperwork.
BOO HYEON-A
Is Ms. Jung Geum-ja not here
at the moment?
She'll be here soon.
I came unannounced, so I was worried.
I can wait over there, right?
-Would you like a cup of tea?
-I'll just have water.
-I'm Boo Hyeon-a from Song & Kim.
-Hello, I'm Jung Geum-ja.
You're representing Mr. Ko.
You seem to know why I'm here.
Song & Kim
I'm so sick of them.
Well, anyway.
How can I help you?
Let's settle.
We shouldn't let it go to trial
and waste our time.
Once you latch onto something,
you don't let it go.
At least, that's what everyone says
about you,
so I wanted to see if it's true.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
No way.
This will be hard.
No, no.
This is my answer.
Get it?
Thank you for your answer.
No problem.
I'm sure you know your way out.
You already used the media.
That's foul play.
And the article was overly exaggerated.
"He was abused by his mother
for 20 years"?
How could you use such an expression
in your official statement?
Because it's a fact.
As a fellow attorney, I was embarrassed.
Is it that hard to have some class?
Anyway, I'll see you in court.
Hey, was she just implying
that she has class and I don't?
Yes.
I like her. She's not afraid to say
whatever she wants.
-Where's Ko I-man?
-He's probably stuck in his hotel room.
All his recitals have been canceled.
-Call him and tell him that I'm coming.
-Okay.
Rain clouds suddenly appear in the sky.
The hailstorm and the rain
instantly swallow the meadow.
With the rain growing fierce
I know it must be hard,
but try to snap out of it.
My mom
won't even answer my calls.
She's the only family I have.
-Mr. Ko.
-I want to revise the contract
and also see my mom.
Can I?
Is there a way to do that?
Can't she step down as CEO
and just be my mom?
I'm so confused.
I'm so miserable
because I can't play the violin.
Listen carefully, Mr. Ko.
You are
a human being before you're a musician.
I know that you're her son,
but you're a full-fledged adult now.
The law can't help you unless
you're willing to fight for your rights.
You're claiming the rights
that you rightfully deserve,
as a human being
and an adult.
No one will protect you.
You must survive on your own.
Look at you showing up in my office
unannounced.
How typical of a lowlife lawyer.
I've never even heard of the law firm.
What? Choong?
I can't believe he hired you.
Mr. Ko will only get
five million won a month?
You call this a settlement agreement?
This is all bullshit.
He's my son.
-No one knows him like I do.
-You think he'll agree this is enough.
I hate to break it to you,
but I don't.
I will have this contract severed
and make sure that my client
is no longer exploited.
-What gives you the right--
-I'm his attorney.
-I didn't mean in the literal sense--
-Actually,
it doesn't seem like
you know what I'm capable of.
I don't know why
I must even listen to this.
Leave this instant.
From now on
What is the meaning of this?
I'm telling you that you are done
mistreating your son like this
as the head of his agency
and even as his mother.
I told you this before,
but this doesn't make me
Hee-jae's errand boy or--
Oh, there you are. I'm here to
Mr. Yoon, a guest is here to see you.
Right. She's been waiting for a while.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I came to give you something.
So who's the guest inside?
Hi.
Jeez, Yu-mi.
I'm actually quite busy.
Us meeting again
didn't seem like a coincidence.
Can you take a look at this?
They're investments my company made.
I need advice.
We're even drinking buddies now.
Like I told you,
there are countless lawyers
who are just as competent.
I honestly don't have the time for this.
Which lawyer? At least give me a referral.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm one of Song & Kim's finest,
Ga Gi-hyeok.
I studied with Hee-jae
at the Judicial Training Institute.
You being his friend
makes us friends as well.
-You're a lawyer?
-Is this the file?
Let me be of service. This way, please.
Sure then.
I'll get that for you.
This way, ma'am.
I heard a lot about you,
but you're even prettier in person.
He spoke a lot about me?
I doubt it. We're honestly not that close.
Me either. His character--
-He's twisted.
-Exactly. Don't I know it.
Oddly enough though,
women can't get enough of him.
I honestly don't get
why they'd like a busy workaholic.
Exactly. That's what Hee-sun said, too.
Character has never been an issue for her.
It goes to show how decent he looks
only on the outside. Don't you think?
-Hee-sun?
-They went to high school together.
After dating for a while,
they called it quits.
Is it that laundromat lady?
Oh, right. Now I remember.
I think that's what I heard.
It's a little confusing.
Who's the laundromat lady?
The woman of his destiny.
"Destiny"? Don't be ridiculous.
Is that lady Hee-sun?
He said he dumped her
because she wasn't pretty.
No way. Hee-sun's beautiful.
Hold on. Now I'm really curious.
Do you have a photo of her?
Wait, you think I'm lying?
Want to see her?
Unbelievable. Hold on a second.
I have one here somewhere.
Here it is.
Also, it was Hee-sun who dumped him.
Take a look.
LET'S GO, KYEONGSEON HIGH SCHOOL
What is it? Are you shocked by her beauty?
She's the Hee-sun you're talking about?
-Hee-jae dated her?
-That's what I said.
I'll be damned.
SEAFOOD PAJEON, GARLIC GIZZARD
Since we have a new client,
can't we order some boiled pork?
Sure, go ahead.
-Ma'am, one boiled pork, please.
-Sure.
So why do you think Ms. Boo of Song & Kim
is taking the case instead of Mr. Yoon?
She's not even a partner yet.
Could she be that good?
-What is it?
-It's weird, right?
Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
No one knows Ko I-man better
than Yoon Hee-jae.
Maybe that's why.
His judgment could be clouded.
Mr. Ko, it's me.
I was hoping to ask you something.
How did you first decide
to hire me as your legal aid?
Did someone refer you to me?
Yes, Mino.
-Mino?
-"Mino"?
Where are you at the moment?
We should meet.
I'd rather be on my own today.
Mr. Ko?
The receiver cannot be reached.
You will be
He's not allowed to date
or use social media.
Why do you think that is?
-A no dating policy?
-Exactly.
Why did he need one?
No way.
What? Are you kidding me?
Did you hear the queer music
in the background?
Yes, this is
Goodness.
Do you know about the clubs
he often goes to in Korea?
Mr. Yoon would know.
Is that why?
How am I supposed to know that?
We're not that close.
There are dozens of bars like that
in Korea. You won't be able to find it.
-Is he still not answering?
-I'm afraid not.
What's taking the driver so long?
Mr. Ko I-man?
Do I know you?
I see you don't remember me.
Well,
I'm a fan.
Oh, a fan.
YOON HEE-JAE
You're from Song & Kim.
How long will you be able
to hold out anyway?
A lawsuit can continue for several years.
That long?
It's because you're up against Song & Kim.
You'll be flying back and forth to Korea,
which will ruin your tour plans.
The despair could lead to a slump.
When it comes to the violin,
you're a perfectionist.
You have several tours planned abroad.
Are you willing to sacrifice your future?
What else then?
What can I do?
Let me hand you the most realistic offer.
Here's a settlement agreement.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
Just like now,
the agency will cover your expenses.
Your salary
will be five million won a month.
-Is it not enough?
-No, it's not that.
I don't care about money.
All I want to do is play the violin.
Our priority will be your comfort.
You may also hire a manager yourself
to organize your schedule.
Really?
Will that be possible?
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
No way.
I will be in charge
of organizing his schedule.
-Please let it go.
-Look here, Mr. Yoon
Do you know what Mr. Ko truly wants?
He has never been greedy for money.
-He just wants to play the violin.
-And
freedom.
Mr. Ko has finally realized
that you're a nest, but also a prison.
He will constantly try to fly free of you.
Before you lose him forever,
give him some space to breathe.
What I'm asking for isn't a choice.
You must agree to this.
The no dating policy
will be removed from your contract.
Apart from playing the violin,
that's most important to you.
Yes, it is. You're right.
You no longer have to hide
or lie about who you are.
Just live your life
as yourself now.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hee-jae must've met Ko I-man by now.
Could he have asked Ko I-man out?
I doubt he'd stoop
to the same antics as you.
Mr. Ko?
Please rethink this.
Mr. Ko, you must not give up yet.
Well, no.
-It's a no.
-What on earth are you saying?
I don't care what the other party
lured you with.
They don't have
your best interest at heart.
This is me
doing what's best for me.
Also, I'm up against Song & Kim.
Please drop the lawsuit.
Thank you for everything.
-Goodbye.
-Mr. Ko?
Mr. Ko!
Ko I-man
It's me. Where are you right now?
"It's me. Where are you right now?"
What did you say to Ko I-man?
-Take a guess.
-What on earth did you do?
-You must know the gist of it.
-Well, I want details.
I saw what Ko I-man wanted
while you were blinded by greed.
Did you even consider what
a long battle in court would do to him?
Must I have?
Of course.
You lost because you didn't.
He should have filed a lawsuit.
Whether it takes years
or he's ruined in the process
or he's asked to give up his violin
during that time,
he should've endured all of it.
Why? So that he could fatten your wallet?
Let's not kid ourselves, all right?
I doubt that either of us
truly cares about Ko I-man anyway.
Would you like to come inside for coffee?
There's no ramyeon though.
Yoon Hee-jae, you fucking bastard.
Fucking prick. What?
I only want to fatten my wallet?
You piece of shit.
Bastard!
It's all because of Song & Kim.
Fucking Song & Kim!
Yes, this is Jung Geum-ja.
Song & Kim?
-Good morning.
-Morning.
Did something good happen overnight?
Anyway, you have a meeting
with the partners at 9:00 a.m.
Hello, Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Song has arrived.
Before we begin today's partner meeting,
I'd like to introduce you to someone.
I scouted someone truly talented
to join our lineup of partners.
Let me introduce you to Ms. Jung Geum-ja.
Hello, I'm Jung Geum-ja.
It's good to meet you.
I look forward to working with you all.
There are cases someone must take,
although nobody is willing to.
Are you talking about Team H?
It holds the history of Song & Kim.
I guess you need someone
to clean up the messes, not a lawyer.
Are we really working with her?
Jung Geum-ja, you, and me?
Did you see how happy he was?
A low-class lawyer who cleans up
after jackasses is a team leader?
Didn't you see this coming?
You should've known that they could
find out about us anytime.
What are we, exactly?

THIS DRAMA IS PURELY FICTIONAL
AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH
ACTUAL PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, ASSOCIATIONS,
OR LOCATIONS
I feel bad for your designer suit.
I thought I'd see you before I leave.
It hurts to see
that look of despair on your face.
It would've been nice
if you had stopped the press releases.
-I apologize.
-Don't apologize.
It was a fight between my children.
You knew it was bound to happen one day.
Chan-ho needs to come to his senses.
If he doesn't,
Hye-won will be unstoppable.
I'm glad things wrapped up
before the board meeting.
Which law firm represented Hye-won again?
I've never heard of it before.
About Hye-won's attorney
You know him, don't you?
He's Yoon Hee-jae,
a partner at Song & Kim.
You're unbelievable.
You had both cards up your sleeve.
If the fight turned into a serious one,
the minority stockholders of Issume
could've tried to replace the CEO
with someone else.
My job is to make sure Issume
stays with the Ha family.
So my priority was to make sure
someone in the family becomes the CEO.
Right.
Everyone is here, sir.
-Okay. You should come with me.
-Yes, sir.
Song & Kim will continue
to represent Issume.
And I also advise you to hire
your personal attorneys
from Song & Kim as well.
Hye-won, I want you to go
on a business trip
to South America for about three months.
Why don't we all have a drink?
It's not easy
to gather everyone like this.
You may leave now.
Goodbye.
I'll hand in
my resignation letter tomorrow.
I waited because I wanted
to tell you in person.
I'm sorry, sir.
JD Law Firm is working with Ha Hye-won?
It won't be easy
as long as Ha Chan-ho holds out.
But they do have a shot,
considering the current situation.
Are you saying Ha Chan-ho is
out of his mind because of his mistress?
If there's even the slightest chance
that JD Law Firm can appoint
Ha Hye-won as CEO,
we need to be prepared.
Officially, Song & Kim
needs to support Ha Chan-ho.
That's what Chairman Ha wants,
and it's what we promised.
Sir.
JD Law Firm supporting Ha Hye-won,
Song & Kim supporting Ha Chan-ho.
If things go haywire,
both sides might lose.
The stockholders of Issume
might suggest hiring a professional
from outside the company.
If they don't choose Song & Kim,
we'll end up losing Issume as our client.
And your choice is Ha Hye-won?
I can win.
I know it's a big risk,
but I kind of want both.
I'll make sure Song & Kim stays hidden.
The name of our law firm won't appear
in any of the documents.
If anyone finds out, you'll get disbarred.
Are you confident?
Yes.
I know nothing about this.
I understand
that you risked your job for this.
But you can't quit
without my consent. That's the rule.
You think I'm going to let you quit
and just forget about what happened?
No way.
Song & Kim didn't lose, but you did.
So I'm going to hand over all your clients
to the other attorneys.
I want you to start over
and think carefully about
why you lost.
Maybe you were too conceited.
So this is it with Ha Chan-ho?
They want us to take the money
and get lost.
You did all the hard work
and still got rejected.
I bet they'll choose Song & Kim again.
No matter how hard we try,
we'll never go mainstream.
I want you to spread the rumor,
Ha Chan-ho versus Ha Hye-won.
Ha Chan-ho wins
thanks to his attorney, Jung Geum-ja.
You sound fine, but I know it hurts
deep down inside.
You're hurting me even more.
-Do you want some soju?
-Why do you even ask?
CLEAR SOJU
Let me crack an egg for you.
Here's a soju and beer bomb.
Hey, what happened?
Why do you look like a mess?
I heard she withdrew the suit.
Then what about Prosecutor Kwon?
Did he get nothing?
No, wait a minute.
That's not what's important.
Hee-jae, what are you going to do now?
Give us the entire bottle.
Gi-hyeok.
Can you please let me drink in peace?
Let's go now.
It costs over 100 billion won?
I recently checked with the realtor.
We still have a long way to go.
Any calls from the rich?
You need to meet Mr. Gang
from We Wire Money.
That fucking jerk in a suit.
He just wants to sleep with me.
What a fucking jerk.
The rumor is spreading quite slowly.
It would've spread quickly
if I won in court.
The rich already have their own attorneys,
so they're probably just hesitant.
It'll stay that way
until something big happens.
LAW OFFICE CHOONG
Call all the clients on the list
-and get me a meeting within the week.
-Call them all.
-Except for Thursdays.
-Except for Thursdays.
-Let me get some work.
-We're here. This is Law Office Choong.
But it's locked.
Maybe we should've called beforehand.
Please come inside.
You can wait there.
Come inside and take a seat.
You can sit here.
Thank you.
I'm Well
I can't believe you even memorize
classical music.
Yoon Hee-jae likes classical music.
I need to know enough
to talk about it so we can click.
My gosh, why is he interested
in so much random stuff?
I get that he likes
mystery books and soccer.
But why classical music of all genres?
Ko I-man.
He's a world-famous genius violinist.
I don't care how much it costs. There's
a limited LP record of his premiere.
-Get me one.
-It'll be really expensive.
It's an investment.
Don't think of it as a waste.
So how can I help you?
Well, first of all,
I'd like to discuss the issue with you.
Did you bring the management contract?
No.
I can't give you a detailed consultation
just by listening to your story.
Send me a copy of the contract.
I've never done this kind of thing before,
so let me ask you something.
Is it possible to change
the contents of the contract?
Yes, if you find it unreasonable.
What if the agency disapproves?
-Then we'll have to file a lawsuit.
-"A lawsuit"?
I can't do that.
We can also settle the issue
instead of taking things to court.
That won't be easy.
Well
Whether we settle or file a lawsuit,
I'm sure you came to see an attorney
for a good reason.
It seems you feel uneasy
about butting heads with your agency.
You need to put aside
your personal feelings about this
and focus only on yourself.
Well
The thing is, that's not easy to do.
Why is everything so difficult?
The head of the agency
is actually my mom.
So you're really losing half your clients?
It's more than half.
People are already talking.
They think you got on Mr. Song's bad side.
They keep asking me what happened
And of course, I tell them I don't know.
What would I know? I know nothing.
Where are you going? Wait up.
You must be happy.
Your workload decreased by half.
I thought you wanted some fresh air.
Let's go outside.
Never mind. This place looks fine.
Ms. Boo, are you here for coffee?
I was right. You're here for coffee.
Do you have something to say?
No.
How is everything?
I've been hearing rumors about you.
You're still on the D&T case, right?
-Of course.
-I bet you have a lot on your mind.
I have something to cool you off.
-You like classical music, right?
-Yes, I love it.
Classical music is the best.
I have tickets to a recital.
Would you like to go?
-Together?
-I won't be able to make it.
You guys should go together.
To be honest,
I don't like classical music.
It's okay.
You can give it to someone else.
I heard he's your favorite artist.
How do you know
who his favorite artist is?
The secretaries told me
after they saw this ticket.
They told me he's your favorite artist.
How do the secretaries know that?
KOIMAN RECITAL
It was amazing!
That's a limited edition of my premiere.
Where did you get it?
Would you like my autograph?
-You can use this.
-Thank you.
What's your name?
His name is Yoon Hee-jae.
I guess you two know each other.
Not yet.
Ta-da.
What? This is not
the kind of reaction I expected.
Do you know how hard it was to get this?
Here's my answer.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
-It's J, A, E.
-Oh, okay.
Thank you.
You don't look that happy.
You just got an autograph
from your favorite artist.
What are you planning this time?
And how do you know him?
You know what?
I don't want to listen to you.
Forget it.
I bet you're just looking around
for another rich client.
I'm an attorney too, you know.
Attorney, my ass.
What kind of attorney are you?
One who catches vermin?
You don't care about your clients.
I say you're vermin.
I guess you're better now,
seeing that you're able to talk.
You looked extremely hurt that day,
and it honestly upset me.
You must be enjoying this,
judging by that smile on your face.
But you see,
you disgust me.
I hope we never meet again.
-So stop acting like you know me.
-My gosh.
Hee-sun!
My gosh, did you get a haircut?
I almost didn't recognize you.
-Hee-jae.
-Hey.
Why are you covering your face?
-I thought you moved to the US.
-I know, right?
What's going on?
-Are you guys still dating?
-Look at you making a joke.
What are you doing here?
You know Hwang Mi-ra, right?
The queen of connections.
I got to know her a little.
Do you see this?
She's also close with Ha Chan-ho.
Wait. She should be here.
I'll introduce you guys to her.
I can do that much.
-You should say
-Yu-mi.
Why don't we just get out here?
I really need some fresh air.
-It's suffocating in here. Let's go.
-Why?
-Go?
-Yes, let's catch up.
But I like it here.
-No, it sucks.
-Are you sure?
-Hey, hold this. But I like it here.
-I know a famous restaurant.
-A famous restaurant?
-Yes.
Let's go.
This is a famous restaurant?
It doesn't look like it.
You'll change your mind
once you eat the food.
By the way,
you guys totally left me speechless.
I'm talking about
when you guys left the reunion.
Let's be honest. Things worked out
between you guys thanks to me.
-Am I wrong?
-Nothing worked out.
-We never even dated.
-We broke up.
What? You guys broke up already?
My gosh, you broke up?
My goodness, what happened?
Beats me. I have no idea.
Why would you say that?
Don't ask me.
You're the one who had a hard time
getting over me after we broke up.
And look at you. You came to see me again.
You're still such a stuck-up jerk.
Hee-sun, I'm really curious.
What do you like about him?
Is it because
-he cleans up nicely?
-I tend not to care
about a guy's character.
What about you, Hee-jae?
Are you going to date her again?
What are you going to do?
She came all the way from the US
just for you.
That's a pity.
I'm already seeing someone else.
Did you know that?
You didn't know, did you?
I found out earlier.
He moved on and started
seeing someone else pretty quickly.
Women are all the same.
To me, they're just like accessories.
You're so mean.
You told me that you loved me so much
and that you meant every word.
You even told me
that I was your first love.
This is why the only person
you can ever trust is yourself.
No, Hee-sun.
I think it's because Hee-jae was hurt.
-Me?
-When guys get hurt,
they try to move on really quickly.
Am I right?
What? Why would I get hurt?
Because I broke up with you?
My gosh, are you serious?
You dumped him first?
No wonder.
Did you start regretting it
after you dumped him?
I'm done with him.
He's already seeing someone else,
so I should give up.
Excuse me.
Two bottles of cheongju, please.
Yu-mi, are you still a lousy drinker?
-Do you still knock out easily?
-Yes.
But I want to drink tonight.
I really want to get drunk.
You should pay.
I'm totally broke right now
because you refused
to take on my divorce suit.
But you worked so hard
on Ha Chan-ho's divorce.
By the way,
Hwang Mi-ra told me that you lost.
Serves you right.
I heard the opponent's attorney
totally had you by the balls.
Gosh, that's hilarious.
Sorry. I'm trying not to laugh.
No, it's okay. Let's just forget
what happened in the past.
Let's forget about it.
-Yu-mi, bottoms up.
-Bottoms up!
Another round!
-What? Again?
-You're on fire, Yu-mi.
I hope we never meet again.
Okay, I get it.
How many times are you going to say that?
While we're on that subject,
and because I'm a little drunk
-What is it?
-Gosh.
Were you going to ask
if I liked you even the slightest bit?
-I must've guessed correctly.
-Let's say you did.
-Is that really important?
-What if it is?
You're sexy. I'll give you that.
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I want to know if you liked me
from the bottom of your heart.
Why is that important?
I thought you never wanted to meet again.
Because I want to know how you feel.
How could you make Seo Jeong-hwa
get back together with Ha Chan-ho?
She totally hates him.
How could you send her back
to that hellhole?
Are you really that cruel?
You make it sound like
you sincerely care about Seo Jeong-hwa.
You sided with Ha Hye-won
because you despise Ha Chan-ho.
That's not important right now.
I'm the one who asked you a question.
Yes, I'm cruel.
I hope that's the answer you wanted.
Back then,
I was never
sincere toward you, even for a moment.
-Really?
-Yes, really.
Then have you ever been sincere
toward anyone in your life?
You have too many questions.
-Tell me.
-No, never.
What else?
Well, is Jung Geum-ja your real name?
No, it's not. I bought the name.
Is there anything that's not fake
in your life?
This woman
who is looking at you right now is real.
The woman that I was in the past
and will be in the future isn't me.
Do you understand, Mr. Yoon Hee-jae?
As for me,
the man that I was in the past
and will be in the future is also me.
That is the big difference between us.
You only live in the moment.
That's unfortunate.
You throw it out.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
Let's go for another drink.
Hey! We should go for another round.
Wait, I'm not
Gosh, I'm
Goodness, I'm exhausted.
TO YOON HEE-JAE, BE HAPPY
-Let's take a five-minute break.
-Okay.
You're here. So what do you think?
I can't believe you agreed to this.
I never did.
My mom has always taken care
of these things for me.
The contract is for 15 years.
And it'll automatically renew
for the same duration if no one objects.
At what age did you sign this?
I'm not too sure. Why do you ask?
Your mother signed this contract
on your behalf when you were a minor.
And if the contractual terms
only benefit your mother,
it can be annulled according to
Article 921 of the Civil Code.
-Pardon?
-I'm saying it can be nullified.
Also, the profit distribution ratio
overly favors the agency.
On top of that, there are so many
unfair, inhumane clauses.
Dating and social media use
aren't allowed.
And you must follow all the rules?
I mean, how old are you?
CONTRAC
Your mother is really something.
-Sorry?
-She sure knows
how to make money off her son.
My mom is not a terrible person though.
She is my mother, after all.
Mr. Ko.
What would you like to do?
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
To be freed from this.
Yes, I want to get out of this contract.
Then I'll meet your mother first.
I'll meet her and see if we can revise
the unfair provisions.
If not, we'll go to trial.
-Trial?
-Who's that lady?
Mom.
You need to get some rest
if the rehearsal is over.
What are you doing?
-I told you to screen all visitors.
-My apologies, ma'am.
Mom, she's my guest.
-Your guest?
-Yes.
Who is she?
It's rude to visit you
before your recital.
Why do you have this?
Hello, I'm attorney Jung Geum-ja.
Attorney?
Do your job properly, will you?
Cancel the recital.
Mom, let me explain. The recital
Drag her out of here at once!
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
Let's go.
Ms. Jung.
I'll go to court.
RECITAL CANCELED
Would it be okay to proceed
with the lawsuit like this?
He wants to do it, you know.
I'm not sure
if he'll be able to handle it.
Is it because he's a musician?
He has no idea how the world works.
He can learn now.
And he should, to be a real adult.
Let's send out a press release.
From Jung Geum-ja, Law Office Choong.
Yes, ma'am.
THE RECITAL HAS BEEN CANCELED
This foreign exchange balance
needs to be taken care of.
Come in.
Mr. Song wants me to assign
one of my team's cases to you.
Which one will be good?
Ms. Boo. Why don't you
give him one of your cases?
Oh, here's an idea.
Give him something small.
Something that's just this thick.
Is there something I don't know?
Otherwise, why would he have you
work on an associate lawyer's case?
Well, every lawsuit is important.
You sound defeated for some reason.
Hold on a second.
Mr. Ko's agency got in touch with me
regarding the case
through my friend
who gave me tickets to his recital.
Did you enjoy the recital?
Well, thank you for the tickets.
Mr. Ko sued his mother.
I'll take this case.
KO I-MAN REPRESENTED
BY ATTORNEY JUNG GEUM-JA
I know that the agency is our client,
but none of the contract clauses are fair.
If it goes to trial,
we'll definitely be put
-at a disadvantage.
-Do we settle?
Let me ask you another favor
since you're helping me anyway.
Meet his attorney in person
and suggest our conditions.
You want me to meet her?
For this case, I think it'd be best
to keep my name out of all the paperwork.
BOO HYEON-A
Is Ms. Jung Geum-ja not here
at the moment?
She'll be here soon.
I came unannounced, so I was worried.
I can wait over there, right?
-Would you like a cup of tea?
-I'll just have water.
-I'm Boo Hyeon-a from Song & Kim.
-Hello, I'm Jung Geum-ja.
You're representing Mr. Ko.
You seem to know why I'm here.
Song & Kim
I'm so sick of them.
Well, anyway.
How can I help you?
Let's settle.
We shouldn't let it go to trial
and waste our time.
Once you latch onto something,
you don't let it go.
At least, that's what everyone says
about you,
so I wanted to see if it's true.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
No way.
This will be hard.
No, no.
This is my answer.
Get it?
Thank you for your answer.
No problem.
I'm sure you know your way out.
You already used the media.
That's foul play.
And the article was overly exaggerated.
"He was abused by his mother
for 20 years"?
How could you use such an expression
in your official statement?
Because it's a fact.
As a fellow attorney, I was embarrassed.
Is it that hard to have some class?
Anyway, I'll see you in court.
Hey, was she just implying
that she has class and I don't?
Yes.
I like her. She's not afraid to say
whatever she wants.
-Where's Ko I-man?
-He's probably stuck in his hotel room.
All his recitals have been canceled.
-Call him and tell him that I'm coming.
-Okay.
Rain clouds suddenly appear in the sky.
The hailstorm and the rain
instantly swallow the meadow.
With the rain growing fierce
I know it must be hard,
but try to snap out of it.
My mom
won't even answer my calls.
She's the only family I have.
-Mr. Ko.
-I want to revise the contract
and also see my mom.
Can I?
Is there a way to do that?
Can't she step down as CEO
and just be my mom?
I'm so confused.
I'm so miserable
because I can't play the violin.
Listen carefully, Mr. Ko.
You are
a human being before you're a musician.
I know that you're her son,
but you're a full-fledged adult now.
The law can't help you unless
you're willing to fight for your rights.
You're claiming the rights
that you rightfully deserve,
as a human being
and an adult.
No one will protect you.
You must survive on your own.
Look at you showing up in my office
unannounced.
How typical of a lowlife lawyer.
I've never even heard of the law firm.
What? Choong?
I can't believe he hired you.
Mr. Ko will only get
five million won a month?
You call this a settlement agreement?
This is all bullshit.
He's my son.
-No one knows him like I do.
-You think he'll agree this is enough.
I hate to break it to you,
but I don't.
I will have this contract severed
and make sure that my client
is no longer exploited.
-What gives you the right--
-I'm his attorney.
-I didn't mean in the literal sense--
-Actually,
it doesn't seem like
you know what I'm capable of.
I don't know why
I must even listen to this.
Leave this instant.
From now on
What is the meaning of this?
I'm telling you that you are done
mistreating your son like this
as the head of his agency
and even as his mother.
I told you this before,
but this doesn't make me
Hee-jae's errand boy or--
Oh, there you are. I'm here to
Mr. Yoon, a guest is here to see you.
Right. She's been waiting for a while.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I came to give you something.
So who's the guest inside?
Hi.
Jeez, Yu-mi.
I'm actually quite busy.
Us meeting again
didn't seem like a coincidence.
Can you take a look at this?
They're investments my company made.
I need advice.
We're even drinking buddies now.
Like I told you,
there are countless lawyers
who are just as competent.
I honestly don't have the time for this.
Which lawyer? At least give me a referral.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm one of Song & Kim's finest,
Ga Gi-hyeok.
I studied with Hee-jae
at the Judicial Training Institute.
You being his friend
makes us friends as well.
-You're a lawyer?
-Is this the file?
Let me be of service. This way, please.
Sure then.
I'll get that for you.
This way, ma'am.
I heard a lot about you,
but you're even prettier in person.
He spoke a lot about me?
I doubt it. We're honestly not that close.
Me either. His character--
-He's twisted.
-Exactly. Don't I know it.
Oddly enough though,
women can't get enough of him.
I honestly don't get
why they'd like a busy workaholic.
Exactly. That's what Hee-sun said, too.
Character has never been an issue for her.
It goes to show how decent he looks
only on the outside. Don't you think?
-Hee-sun?
-They went to high school together.
After dating for a while,
they called it quits.
Is it that laundromat lady?
Oh, right. Now I remember.
I think that's what I heard.
It's a little confusing.
Who's the laundromat lady?
The woman of his destiny.
"Destiny"? Don't be ridiculous.
Is that lady Hee-sun?
He said he dumped her
because she wasn't pretty.
No way. Hee-sun's beautiful.
Hold on. Now I'm really curious.
Do you have a photo of her?
Wait, you think I'm lying?
Want to see her?
Unbelievable. Hold on a second.
I have one here somewhere.
Here it is.
Also, it was Hee-sun who dumped him.
Take a look.
LET'S GO, KYEONGSEON HIGH SCHOOL
What is it? Are you shocked by her beauty?
She's the Hee-sun you're talking about?
-Hee-jae dated her?
-That's what I said.
I'll be damned.
SEAFOOD PAJEON, GARLIC GIZZARD
Since we have a new client,
can't we order some boiled pork?
Sure, go ahead.
-Ma'am, one boiled pork, please.
-Sure.
So why do you think Ms. Boo of Song & Kim
is taking the case instead of Mr. Yoon?
She's not even a partner yet.
Could she be that good?
-What is it?
-It's weird, right?
Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
No one knows Ko I-man better
than Yoon Hee-jae.
Maybe that's why.
His judgment could be clouded.
Mr. Ko, it's me.
I was hoping to ask you something.
How did you first decide
to hire me as your legal aid?
Did someone refer you to me?
Yes, Mino.
-Mino?
-"Mino"?
Where are you at the moment?
We should meet.
I'd rather be on my own today.
Mr. Ko?
The receiver cannot be reached.
You will be
He's not allowed to date
or use social media.
Why do you think that is?
-A no dating policy?
-Exactly.
Why did he need one?
No way.
What? Are you kidding me?
Did you hear the queer music
in the background?
Yes, this is
Goodness.
Do you know about the clubs
he often goes to in Korea?
Mr. Yoon would know.
Is that why?
How am I supposed to know that?
We're not that close.
There are dozens of bars like that
in Korea. You won't be able to find it.
-Is he still not answering?
-I'm afraid not.
What's taking the driver so long?
Mr. Ko I-man?
Do I know you?
I see you don't remember me.
Well,
I'm a fan.
Oh, a fan.
YOON HEE-JAE
You're from Song & Kim.
How long will you be able
to hold out anyway?
A lawsuit can continue for several years.
That long?
It's because you're up against Song & Kim.
You'll be flying back and forth to Korea,
which will ruin your tour plans.
The despair could lead to a slump.
When it comes to the violin,
you're a perfectionist.
You have several tours planned abroad.
Are you willing to sacrifice your future?
What else then?
What can I do?
Let me hand you the most realistic offer.
Here's a settlement agreement.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
Just like now,
the agency will cover your expenses.
Your salary
will be five million won a month.
-Is it not enough?
-No, it's not that.
I don't care about money.
All I want to do is play the violin.
Our priority will be your comfort.
You may also hire a manager yourself
to organize your schedule.
Really?
Will that be possible?
SETTLEMENT AGREEMEN
No way.
I will be in charge
of organizing his schedule.
-Please let it go.
-Look here, Mr. Yoon
Do you know what Mr. Ko truly wants?
He has never been greedy for money.
-He just wants to play the violin.
-And
freedom.
Mr. Ko has finally realized
that you're a nest, but also a prison.
He will constantly try to fly free of you.
Before you lose him forever,
give him some space to breathe.
What I'm asking for isn't a choice.
You must agree to this.
The no dating policy
will be removed from your contract.
Apart from playing the violin,
that's most important to you.
Yes, it is. You're right.
You no longer have to hide
or lie about who you are.
Just live your life
as yourself now.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hee-jae must've met Ko I-man by now.
Could he have asked Ko I-man out?
I doubt he'd stoop
to the same antics as you.
Mr. Ko?
Please rethink this.
Mr. Ko, you must not give up yet.
Well, no.
-It's a no.
-What on earth are you saying?
I don't care what the other party
lured you with.
They don't have
your best interest at heart.
This is me
doing what's best for me.
Also, I'm up against Song & Kim.
Please drop the lawsuit.
Thank you for everything.
-Goodbye.
-Mr. Ko?
Mr. Ko!
Ko I-man
It's me. Where are you right now?
"It's me. Where are you right now?"
What did you say to Ko I-man?
-Take a guess.
-What on earth did you do?
-You must know the gist of it.
-Well, I want details.
I saw what Ko I-man wanted
while you were blinded by greed.
Did you even consider what
a long battle in court would do to him?
Must I have?
Of course.
You lost because you didn't.
He should have filed a lawsuit.
Whether it takes years
or he's ruined in the process
or he's asked to give up his violin
during that time,
he should've endured all of it.
Why? So that he could fatten your wallet?
Let's not kid ourselves, all right?
I doubt that either of us
truly cares about Ko I-man anyway.
Would you like to come inside for coffee?
There's no ramyeon though.
Yoon Hee-jae, you fucking bastard.
Fucking prick. What?
I only want to fatten my wallet?
You piece of shit.
Bastard!
It's all because of Song & Kim.
Fucking Song & Kim!
Yes, this is Jung Geum-ja.
Song & Kim?
-Good morning.
-Morning.
Did something good happen overnight?
Anyway, you have a meeting
with the partners at 9:00 a.m.
Hello, Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Song has arrived.
Before we begin today's partner meeting,
I'd like to introduce you to someone.
I scouted someone truly talented
to join our lineup of partners.
Let me introduce you to Ms. Jung Geum-ja.
Hello, I'm Jung Geum-ja.
It's good to meet you.
I look forward to working with you all.
There are cases someone must take,
although nobody is willing to.
Are you talking about Team H?
It holds the history of Song & Kim.
I guess you need someone
to clean up the messes, not a lawyer.
Are we really working with her?
Jung Geum-ja, you, and me?
Did you see how happy he was?
A low-class lawyer who cleans up
after jackasses is a team leader?
Didn't you see this coming?
You should've known that they could
find out about us anytime.
What are we, exactly?
