(Good Partner)
(All people, locations, organizations, )
(incidents, and backstories
in this drama are fictitious.)
(Staff ensured child actors'
safety in the filming of this drama.)
Your dream finally came true.
No need to go back in.
Sorry?
Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra.
You're fired.
Ms. Han.
No way.
(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra has
been terminated from Daejeong.)
No way.
Seriously?
(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra has
been terminated from Daejeong.)
- Gosh.
- What did I tell you?
- You were right.
- Wasn't I right?
I told you it was her.
She sure has some nerve.
(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra)
(Case 07: In the Name of Mother)
(Attorney at law, Jung Woo Jin)
(Chief Manager Choi Sa Ra has
been terminated from Daejeong.)
I was wrongfully terminated by Ms. Cha,
and I came by to ask if you stand with her.
Your conduct was within the
scope of our termination policy.
The board was unanimous
regarding your termination.
We appreciate your work. You may leave.
I will bring wrongful
termination into question.
My next stop will be the Ministry
of Employment and Labor.
Go ahead.
Your feelings for Ms. Cha
are the same as mine for Ji Sang.
Get off your high horse.
For someone who has worked
at a law firm for ten years,
you lack the mind of one.
One's feelings must be acted
upon for them to be considered
in the eyes of the law.
Not everyone who develops such feelings
follows your path.
Come to your senses.
This is Cha Eun Kyung's
business, not yours.
You'll end up hurt at this rate.
You made it my business
by calling me her office husband.
What a shame.
We've also been colleagues for ten years,
so was this really necessary?
You already know this,
but love is like a car accident.
It can't be dodged.
The fact that Cha Eun Kyung
and Kim Jae Hui had to know you
is the real freak accident.
You will owe them your whole life.
Is there more you wish to hear?
If not, get lost this second.
Eun Kyung.
You didn't sign the
employee evaluation file yet.
What do you want to do with Choi Sa Ra?
I'm still thinking.
You gave her a full score.
She's good at her job.
I shouldn't bring my emotions into it.
Not firing her seems to be
the exact opposite of it.
What do you mean by that?
This may have slipped your mind,
but I'm a partner lawyer at this firm.
I'm in charge of personnel alongside you.
Choi Sa Ra
violated Article 25 of our
company regulations
by tarnishing company
reputation with conduct
that is subject to civil
and criminal liability,
as well as Article 26
by publicly staining the honor
of a company board member.
She is guilty on both counts.
She should've been fired long ago.
I know.
I only needed someone
to check its justification.
Unbelievable.
- Can you believe it?
- See? What did I tell you?
I thought it was absurd.
I can't believe she had the
audacity to keep coming to work.
Ms. Cha has been a saint.
I would've fired her immediately.
(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)
(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)
(Episode 7)
The coffee tastes good,
and we have great weather.
Finally seeing Choi Sa Ra leave
was satisfying to say the least.
That's what you get for
going after Mr. Oh's nephew.
Office husband?
She should've known that
she'd only get fired for that.
Hold on a second.
What did you just say?
Mr. Jung
is Mr. Oh's nephew?
Yes. Hold on. Didn't you know?
Did you really not know?
Yu Ri, are you once
again the last to find out?
It's common knowledge at the firm.
From this moment on,
please don't let anyone
sense those feelings.
- What feelings?
- Your feelings
of deeply liking Ms. Cha.
Not do anything that could be
disadvantageous for Ms. Cha.
I hope you don't think
I'm overstepping here.
Not as a younger lawyer,
but as Ms. Cha's attorney.
Oh, no. I really had no idea.
Why didn't anyone tell me?
Mr. Jung is rumored to
one day run the place.
What?
What now?
Did you get on his bad side?
- Oh, no.
- What is it? Talk to me.
I'm here for the 2pm consultation.
Where is Ms. Cha's office?
Right. It's the office
at the end of the hall.
Thank you.
Yu Ri.
Hello.
That's Ms. Kim from my work.
See you tomorrow.
We're not exactly on speaking terms.
Who are you to come here and cause a scene?
- Mr. Jun, please head inside.
- What? Sure.
Have you been well?
It was nice to see you on TV.
Your father would be proud from above.
Don't talk about him in front of me.
Are you still that same angry kid?
Why on earth are you here?
Who said you could be here?
I booked a consultation
with Ms. Cha Eun Kyung.
I hope you haven't
forgotten about what you did.
What about it?
Shouldn't your colleagues
all know about what you did to me?
Is Yu Ri fitting in all right?
Are you an acquaintance of hers?
Yes, we're very close.
I'm her aunt.
Gosh. Are you her aunt?
Her dad married me after the divorce,
so I'm more like her stepmom.
Although, she hates my guts.
Sorry?
By the way, it seems like the
years didn't touch you at all.
You look exactly like
you did ten years ago.
When have we met?
Gosh.
How can you not remember your client?
It's understandable though
since you're the nation's
busiest divorce lawyer.
My client?
Don't you remember the term "homewrecker?"
(8 years ago)
You're a homewrecker!
I doubt an old client
came by to see how I was doing.
May I ask why you're here?
I found this during the move.
For years, I could never find it.
(Transfer of Assets)
(From Han Myeong Jong to Kim Hui Ra)
(My entire assets will
go to Kim after I pass.)
(Han Myeong Jong)
Are you claiming that Ms. Han's father
wrote this himself?
That's right.
That document states it clearly,
but Han Yu Ri and her mother
are still living in his house
like they own the place.
Since this isn't a proper form,
it can't be legally binding.
Legally binding or not,
Yu Ri's mother promised me the house.
She still isn't keeping her
word after all this time
and has been brushing me off.
I'm sure Yu Ri has been
controlling her mother.
Why did you come to me out of all people?
You're on TV together which
tells me you're fond of her.
Do you know what she did to me?
I couldn't care less.
She conducted a one-man
protest at my workplace.
Please read this.
Two employees here are having an affair.
Young lady, you need to stop this.
Can you please read this?
- You can't do this.
- Two employees here
are having an affair.
(If cheating is a skill,
then you hired the master!)
- You can't do this.
- Please read this.
Two employees here are having an affair.
You can't do this.
Ms. Kim!
This is about you.
- This
- You can't do this.
Why are you avoiding me?
Why are you avoiding me?
Everyone, please read this.
You must stop this.
Rather than respecting the
woman her father was with,
she came to my workplace
and caused a scene
to tarnish my reputation.
So what happened?
They fired me.
My annual salary was 50,000 dollars,
but because of her,
I was fired from my job
and branded as a mistress.
She even caused her father
to also lose his income source.
So?
Is this how you treat
all your former clients?
Well, I'm no longer on retainer.
Her father fell in love with me,
but she made it seem like I was to blame.
She's a darn witch,
and someone like her shouldn't be a lawyer.
Especially not one at
a law firm of this size.
Your time is up, so please head out.
The consultation fee will be refunded.
Let me make you an offer.
Fire Han Yu Ri this second.
It won't be a difficult task
for a law firm of this size.
- Why should I?
- If you don't,
I'll do exactly what she
did to me, so brace yourself.
A lot of people pass this building daily.
I'll protest in front of it with a truck,
so fire her.
Also, tell Yu Ri
to transfer that house to
me by the end of this month.
It's what her dad promised.
I'm no pushover,
and I'll be back in a few days.
Yu Ri, I'm heading out.
See you around.
(Emergency contact, Mother: Kim Kyung Sook)
Ms. Cha.
What did that woman want?
I can't say since the problem concerns you.
Let's both be professionals here.
That woman
Did she tell you she was my dad's mistress?
She referred to herself as your aunt.
My aunt? That crazy b
(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)
Please don't tell me you
still took her on as a client.
I'm reviewing her case.
Ms. Cha.
I know that it's important
to take on clients,
but this is wrong.
How is it wrong?
How can you do this to me
when I'm representing you
in your divorce case?
Ms. Han, don't you ever
open your own law firm.
You're saying you'll
be picky about clients,
and your office will see lack of revenue.
(Resume)
(Mother: Kim Kyung Sook)
I hear my daughter is
now your junior colleague.
What a twist of events.
It was only today that I realized
that I represented the opposing
side in your divorce case.
Why did you want to see
me without Yu Ri knowing?
Did she do something wrong?
Kim Hui Ra came to see me.
What?
Taking 300,000 dollars
from me wasn't enough,
so she went to see you at your office?
Did you say 300,000 dollars?
Did she threaten you with
that ridiculous memorandum?
Why did you pay her
when it isn't legally binding?
Proper protocol must be followed
for a transfer of assets
contract to be legally binding.
I know that since Yu Ri told me.
But how can that even matter
when she threatened to
go to Yu Ri's workplace?
Is Yu Ri all right?
I made sure she had no knowledge of this.
You still shouldn't have paid up.
Yu Ri conducted a protest,
and she said she lost her job and
her income source because of it.
She threatened to get
revenge once Yu Ri got a job.
After seeing Yu Ri on TV,
she immediately came to see me.
She said she wouldn't bring
up Yu Ri's protest if I paid up.
Still.
Why did you pay her 300,000 dollars
when she is to blame?
Your Honor, please protect our family.
I heard that the court
doesn't grant a divorce
if the cheating spouse asks for one.
I'm right, aren't I?
This is a family that has
already been wrecked.
Even if this case were to get dismissed,
the plaintiff has no
intention of returning home.
Would you consider giving
your consent to the divorce?
Don't you have a family?
It's not easy to consent to a
divorce when you have a child.
Your Honor! This isn't fair!
What will happen to my daughter
if this divorce goes through?
Honey.
Please think about your
daughter, Yu Ri and reconsider.
I'll be a better wife to you.
Can't you grasp the situation?
It's not about what's right or wrong.
My client wants a divorce.
You don't have any assets under your name.
Without the divorce, the division
of assets can't be processed.
Agree to divorce, so you
can have a part of the assets.
I want this to be a win-win
situation for both parties.
Your Honor.
What kind of law is this?
Even if a husband cheats on
his wife and abandons his family,
to get any part of the assets,
a wife must agree to divorce?
It's not something to get emotional about.
He left home to get a divorce.
No good will come from
it if you insist on keeping
the family together.
Live your own life.
(Han Myeong Jong)
(Kim Kyung Sook)
"She wronged me."
Hearing that from you
sounds weird.
Did you represent them back
then because you didn't think so?
That's what I do for a living.
I was simply doing my job.
It's unfortunate that our
emotions have no place
in matters like this.
You're giving me that
pathetic look again
just like that time.
Not everyone
in the world has your strength.
How does it feel
to be in my shoes now?
When you thought about your daughter,
was it easy to decide to divorce him?
Back then, my daughter
was only in 12th grade.
Don't you think what goes
around comes around now?
Are you telling me
you wouldn't have gotten a
divorce if I wasn't involved?
That's a possibility.
We were only in that courtroom
because he had been unfaithful.
At least, my sense of humiliation
could have been spared.
You always stopped me from coming over.
What a surprise to hear that
you wanted me to come over.
- Well, Mom.
- Yes?
A long time ago, Ms. Kim told you
she wanted the house. Remember?
Yes, I do.
She hasn't reached out
to you since then, right?
No.
But why are you asking me about that?
That was between me
and your dad. Stay out of it.
You're not talking to
her after that, right?
Of course, not.
Everything is okay with you too, right?
Did she try to get in touch
with you or something?
Gosh, I showed the world
what would happen if anyone messed with me.
How dare she try to call me?
She'd be too scared to do that.
You bet.
Stop worrying about her.
You should just start going on dates
and make a family of your own now.
Dig in.
The bulgogi turned out very tender.
Oh, right. Guess what.
I ran into one of your
colleagues in the elevator.
She had a bag full of groceries.
She seems so young, but
she's excellent wife material.
She said she was cooking for her fiance,
so I shared my secret recipe
for the abalone porridge.
Gosh, enough with your secret recipe!
- Seriously.
- Don't talk to me like that.
She's the affair partner.
The woman Ms. Cha's
husband had an affair with!
Oh, my.
The secretary in the tabloid?
Yes.
My goodness, that wench.
Seriously. Keep your distance from her.
You can't judge people by their appearance.
Don't trust anyone. Please.
Right. Gosh. I mean, people talk
about how you can't trust anyone.
How could she have an
affair with her boss' husband?
Jae Hui.
How does it feel to be in my shoes now?
When you thought about your daughter,
was it easy to decide to divorce him?
You should look back on your life.
The world shouldn't allow
those at fault to get their way
simply because they hire an attorney.
("The Little Prince")
It's all done.
Try it.
How is it?
- It's so
- Yes?
Awful.
Gosh. Come on, Kim Jae Hui.
I was joking. It's pretty good.
Next time, add some
cheese and hold the ketchup.
- Okay.
- Dad always added cheese.
Jae Hui.
Could you make a list of
school events and give it to me?
I'll clear my schedule
for those dates. Okay?
Mom.
I don't have to make
a list of school events.
You just download the school
app, and you'll get notifications.
Oh, right. Yes. That's it.
Now that your dad isn't around,
I'll make sure to check the app every day.
You'll start cooking breakfast too. Right?
Sure.
Text me what you want for
breakfast the night before.
I'll try everything.
Thank you.
Yu Ri went through
something similar like this.
Yu Ri?
- You mean Han Yu Ri?
- Yes.
Yu Ri told me her father had
an affair with another woman.
She said it was still hard for her.
I heard her story too.
I heard that legally, she
couldn't demand compensation
from her father for his affair.
She said that felt unfair.
She told you all that?
I can call her and hang out
with her from time to time, right?
Of course.
Gosh. This is so good.
It looks like we'll be together 24-7 now.
You had been waiting for that promotion.
You must be so upset.
It's okay.
The upside is that we get
to be together all day now.
It's one of my many dreams too.
You had to go home early
in the evening for Jae Hui.
I had to go back to the
office in the afternoon.
We had never gone on a proper
date in case we might get caught.
Right.
Oh, right. I met with Jae Hui.
Eun Kyung told Jae Hui
that you and I weren't
together or anything like that.
So keep our relationship a secret from her.
I don't buy that.
The Cha Eun Kyung I know
probably turned you into
the most evil man on Earth.
Never.
You don't know because you're not a parent.
Is that so?
That's good then, I guess.
What did you do with Jae Hui?
I showed her the room I decorated for her.
She was happy.
When will you show me the house?
Our attorney told me to be
careful about bringing you there.
You cannot come to the house.
Let's eat.
- Gosh. Seriously.
- That's fascinating.
- I didn't get any sleep.
- I forgot to bring my book.
- Did we have homework?
- What's that?
- What's that?
- What's going on?
- Gosh.
- Is that food?
Everyone, Jae Hui's
mother sent us some snacks.
- No way.
- Gosh. Nice!
Our class will start in five minutes,
so enjoy the snacks.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- That looks good!
- It looks delicious.
- Gosh. It's bread.
- Oh, my.
- Isn't that from Gangnam?
- Cool!
Jae Hui's mother has a classy taste.
- Gosh.
- That looks good.
- Ma'am.
- Yes, Jae Hui.
Did my mother stop by?
No. She sent it through a delivery service.
- Go on and eat.
- Okay.
Do I have to spell it out for her?
I want her to come in person.
- What's going on?
- It's my dressing table.
Doing makeup in the
bathroom is the worst for women.
Sir, where should we place this?
- Put it in the small room.
- Hold on.
I'm sorry, sir. But I'd
like a refund for this.
Why did you do it?
Why do you think?
I needed a dressing table for myself.
You knew the family
investigator would be here soon.
When the people from court
come to inspect the house
and see items belonging to a woman,
you know I'd be at a disadvantage.
Why are you doing this?
It's just called a dressing table.
But it's basically a
mirror with some drawers.
It doesn't belong only to women.
Must I have the same talk over
and over again with you too?
This is exhausting.
Hasn't it crossed your mind that
you're making me feel insecure?
Once the lawsuit is over,
am I really going to move in here?
The three of us here?
You've never thought about it.
Sa Ra.
We're lovers.
But I never thought about remarrying.
I'm sorry if you got the wrong idea.
But I must make myself clear now.
You always told me you wanted
to live with me after the divorce.
I thought you wanted to
leave Cha Eun Kyung
and start over with me.
I already failed once at marriage.
Why would I want to marry again?
Then what about me? I
have never been married.
Now that I fell in love with a
man, I wanted to be happy.
Am I asking for too much?
We shouldn't
see each other on
weekends for the time being.
- Why shouldn't we?
- Isn't it obvious?
Until I get custody of my daughter,
I need to spend time
with Jae Hui on weekends.
- Let me come with you.
- No. Never.
You didn't have to sound so cold.
You asked me something
that would never happen.
To protect our relationship,
I left a job I had for ten years.
How could you completely
dismiss my feelings?
Instead of comforting
me about what happened,
you went on and on about Jae Hui.
What on earth am I to you?
Are you asking me to decide
between you and Jae Hui?
Can't I?
How come I always come second?
How much longer must I put up with this?
Since you asked, let me be crystal clear.
Jae Hui is my top priority.
I will not tolerate
any behavior that could potentially
hurt my daughter in any way.
You make it sound like I hurt Jae Hui.
As if I'm some bully.
Yes, we are bullies in this case.
How could you say that about us?
- How could you describe our love
- Gosh.
If I have to repeatedly fight
about this, let's end it here.
- What did you say?
- Stop it! I'm sick of it.
Did I promise to marry you?
Know your place!
Oh, right. Yu Ri's blind date is tonight.
- Don't forget. Okay?
- Gosh.
How could I forget?
- Thank you.
- Sure. Bye.
- Bye. Get home safely.
- Okay.
Gosh.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Have the deed of the
house transferred to me.
Or a famous attorney
will talk to the media that
you're breaking your promise.
Your daughter did that
to me. So it's my turn now.
I told you to stay away from my daughter.
You two moved in together
because you were so in love.
Why are you blackmailing me now?
I can't get a job because of your daughter.
She should be held responsible.
I need to make ends meet somehow.
Thanks to your arrogant daughter,
I got fired from my job and had no future.
So I was going to file a lawsuit.
But I guess he was a father after all.
He must have felt some sort of remorse.
He begged me not to file a lawsuit.
So I let her off the hook once.
So what? Do you want me to thank you?
Gosh. You're ridiculous. Seriously.
You were the ones who did wrong!
Why are you blaming my daughter?
I used up my retirement
money to pay for his hospital bills.
Do you know how much money
he took from me until he died?
I put up with him because he said
he'd give me the house when he died.
He abandoned his family
because he loved me.
But he couldn't even
recognize me at the end.
He was your husband
once and Yu Ri's father.
Don't you even pity him?
Pity him?
He got what was coming for him.
I really don't have any money.
I already gave you 300,000 dollars.
I had saved it up for Yu Ri's wedding.
I gave it to you because I
never wanted to see you again.
Please.
Stop blackmailing me with your
late husband and my daughter.
You should start living
your life differently now.
Don't tell me what to do.
Who do you think you are?
Besides, your daughter became an attorney.
She has a bright future ahead of her.
Do you want to ruin her
future because of money?
- What kind of mother are you?
- That's precisely why.
I put up with you all these
years because I'm a mother.
I bet Yu Ri will be earning far
more than the value of this house.
A daughter went
to her father's workplace and
held a protest to reveal his affair.
A daughter who never saw her dad
not knowing he was dying?
Will the public accept her as an attorney?
Think about it carefully.
How evil
Is this the material I mentioned?
Yes. A record of the
300,000-dollar transfer
and recordings of our phone calls I left
to use as evidence in
case she came after Yu Ri.
I'll take a look.
You did well by taping the calls.
Thanks.
I'd been through one court case,
and it taught me I'd need evidence.
It feels a bit strange to
sit here across from you.
You berated me back then.
Now you're offering to help me.
Don't you find that strange too?
Not at all.
I only did my job.
As you fought as best
you could as a mother,
I did as best I could for
the client who hired me.
Actually, because of you,
I even saw a psychiatrist.
That wasn't because of me.
It was because of the two
people who had the affair.
You're an attorney through and through.
There's no beating you in an argument.
If you hadn't divorced then,
your husband would've
spent all he had on Kim Hui Ra.
Even if the case was dismissed,
he'd have never returned home.
You'd have struggled under
a marriage in name only.
Goodness.
Are you saying you berated
me into getting divorced
when it wasn't what I wanted?
No.
I work only for my clients.
Will my Yu Ri
become like you now?
Yes, possibly.
I still don't know what it means exactly
to work only for a client.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Since we met again, I
hope we can get along.
Then
I'll get going.
Wait.
The fury.
Did it fade away
with time?
I just said
it was in the past and
that we can get along now.
Not between us.
I mean the fury you had for your husband.
What could I do? He was my kid's dad.
But
things will be different for
you compared to how I felt.
My husband died.
He's gone, and I have no
object left to hate even if I want to.
I'm okay with losing my husband,
but Yu Ri can't lose her dad.
I was afraid she'd lose her dad
if I treated him like a traitor,
so I kept it inside.
I told her I'd forgotten
it all and forgiven him.
She should still have a father figure.
Ms. Cha.
The case you said you'd think about.
You didn't take it, did you?
I can't say.
(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)
Today, 6:30pm.
Lobby of the IO Hotel
that's right across your office.
I said you'd be there.
It's my only wish. Will you be there?
I don't have the time or
energy to go on a blind date.
She's so naive.
It's all so frustrating.
What time is it?
Hello.
I'm Cho Yoon Sung, your blind date.
I'm here, and I'm wearing
a checkered jacket.
If you're in your late 20s, it's
the perfect age to get married.
What?
I'm not sure.
Who marries in their late 20s these days?
The times might have changed,
but so does a woman after 30.
It might be different for you
since you have a good job.
- What are you talking about?
- Your value?
He's an old-fashioned young man.
I see
Why do I suddenly wish Mr. Jun was here?
So that's what you think.
Gosh.
Here.
- Take your time, Mom.
- How lovely.
We were going to go straight
home after the wedding.
- Did we bother busy you?
- I'm not busy at all.
I'd wanted to bring
you to a place like this.
Everything's so shiny.
Soon Rye raised her kids well,
- and her daughter married well.
- Did she?
Yes.
This place is too fancy for me.
- What?
- Why would you say that?
You raised our son well too.
You deserve to be here.
Here.
Hey.
Can you not do this in
front of your grown son?
Why do you care how well I treat my woman?
"My woman?" Dad, please.
When will you introduce
your girlfriend to us, Eun Ho?
Do you not have one yet?
I do have one.
But I won't introduce her to you.
I wonder who the person is that you like.
I'll leave you here if you don't stop.
- I need to go to the restroom.
- Okay.
Let's try this.
Here.
Ms. Han.
- Hey.
- Hi.
She's a colleague of mine.
Hello.
That must be her.
Stop staring.
Stop staring, Dad.
She's pretty.
It's raining.
Ms. Han.
You don't have an umbrella, do you?
How about pamak?
- What's that?
- Pajeon and makgeolli.
Stop shortening words. It's not funny.
It is.
- Pajeon and makgeolli?
- Yes.
You could shorten almost
anything if you keep trying.
(79 Daepo)
Don't you love the sound of rain?
Here.
I'll pour you one.
It looks so good.
Here goes.
Look at how crunchy it is.
Here.
You said you were too
busy with work to date.
You were just too busy to date me.
Well
It wasn't like that.
I didn't know about the
blind date until an hour ago.
What do you mean
you didn't know about the date?
Let's eat while it's hot.
It's nice and crunchy.
Yes, let's eat.
- Is it good?
- Yes, it is.
Our people have to change
how parents treat their grown kids.
- Oh, thanks.
- Sure.
It's my life.
Just because she's my
mom, is she allowed to do that?
Isn't it because you're too obedient?
I don't listen to my mom,
so she doesn't interfere much.
You were with your parents, weren't you?
Yes. They'd come to
Seoul to attend a wedding,
and I wanted to treat
them to some hotel coffee.
Really?
How nice of you.
They seemed close.
Don't even get me started.
They're still like newlyweds.
Dad calls Mom "my woman."
How sweet.
Cheers.
Cheers.
How refreshing.
I really can manage on my own.
Not again.
Will you ditch me like you did in Sodae-ri?
I won't let you today.
Then I'll call a taxi.
You should too.
Okay. I'll watch you get into the taxi.
Goodness.
So who was that woman from before?
Who do you mean?
The woman who made even you freeze
the moment you laid eyes on her.
My dad's affair partner.
The woman my mom sued.
I see.
All the taxis seem to be booked.
Is it because it rained?
There's a huge delay.
I found one.
It'll be here soon.
Does your mother know?
She doesn't.
That's why she set up the blind date.
Do you know what's even crazier?
What's that?
I think Cha Eun Kyung
took that woman's case.
What?
She hired me to represent
her in her divorce case,
and she'll represent
my dad's affair partner?
Honestly,
is she a robot or a monster?
Hey, that is crazy.
If I were our CEO,
I'd leave the firm to her
and not Jung Woo Jin.
Honestly.
If Ms. Cha were CEO,
we'd be the country's number one.
We must keep our work and lives apart.
I'm directly involved,
so she can't tell me, she said.
You're a bit like that.
You're all about separating
your work and life,
so you can't date me.
- Hey.
- "Hey."
My taxi's here.
Is that it?
It is. I'll go home, then.
Bye.
Drive safely, sir.
See you.
Bye.
Kim Jae Hui.
Were you waiting for me?
I was just watching TV.
I was about to go to bed.
You're home early for once.
Did you get the snacks?
Yes. The kids went wild.
They said it was luxurious bread
their moms never got it for them
and wondered how you bought so much.
They were amazed.
They asked if you made lots of money.
What did you tell them?
"Do you know the TV talk show 'You Quiz?"
"My mom was on it." That's what I said.
You never told anyone I was on TV.
Did you suddenly want to brag?
I just answered the questions they asked.
Did you?
Did you like what I did?
It wasn't bad.
Can't you praise me just once?
Good job.
But
I'll say it again because you
don't seem to be getting it.
What?
Next time, come in person.
The last time
you picked me up was
after my third-grade field trip.
Got it.
I'll try harder to spare more time.
Okay.
I left this semester's schedule
on your desk.
Okay.
- I'm off to bed.
- Sleep well.
Next time, add some
cheese and hold the ketchup.
Dad always added cheese.
I was afraid she'd lose her dad
if I treated him like a traitor,
so I kept it inside.
I told her
I'd forgotten it all and forgiven him.
She should still have
a father figure.
It's just like your dad's, isn't it?
His omelets are better
than any hotel chef's.
Eat up and drink your juice too.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Why are you back?
Han Yu Ri. She still seems to work here.
You didn't take me seriously?
No, I didn't.
Your case is all over the media.
Do you want me to add Yu Ri's too?
Guess who the scariest
person in the world is?
It's someone with nothing to lose.
And that's the situation I am in right now.
What do you mean you have nothing to lose?
- You do have something.
- What?
Three hundred thousand dollars.
You ripped it off from Yu Ri's mom.
I'm glad you brought up 300,000 dollars.
That house is now worth a million,
but I only got 300,000 dollars.
You think that's enough
to get a house in Seoul?
Whatever. I don't care anymore.
Don't take it any further
before I make you care.
- Have you lost your mind?
- About 300,000 dollars.
Han Yu Ri isn't aware of it.
And you know what she's like.
That's considered a threat in law.
If I tell Han Yu Ri about it,
she'll file a criminal
complaint and sue you
to get it back.
Then it'll become a complete mess.
Will you be okay with that?
Ms. Han, to my office.
How dare you
Come in.
Why did you call me?
I wanted to ask you a question.
Ms. Cha Eun Kyung.
Since you recently
graduated from the law school,
you must remember
studying unfair profits
and unlawful payment, right?
Yes, why do you ask?
Did she get into trouble again?
Well
It seems she wants me to take her case,
but I'm too busy. Why don't you take over?
Ms. Cha.
I can't do that.
No? Too bad.
Then let's get her out of my sight first.
Will you get lost?
You two are the same.
What the heck is wrong with you?
I'm going to sue you all.
Do you want me to sue you first
for business obstruction, home invasion,
and violation of the network act?
Get out.
Let's get some coffee.
How did you do that?
What can a lawyer do?
Just mess her up with the law.
Isn't that why I spent my 20s
studying to death eating
only gimbap and cup noodles?
Sorry that I got you wrong.
It's nothing new. You always get me wrong.
But you always make it that way.
You should've given me a heads-up.
You didn't get me wrong.
It turns out I was your
dad's and Kim Hui Ra's
attorney.
You were?
As I've been dealing with my own divorce,
I'm seeing the case in a new light.
I've repaid my debt today.
What debt?
Ms. Cha.
Thank you for helping my mom get divorced.
If my mom
hadn't gotten divorced,
she would've never
gotten out of the marriage
that was only on paper.
Thank you so much for saying
what I've always wanted to say
to that woman.
You got it off my chest.
What did you want to say to her?
To get lost.
I wished for her to get the heck out
of my mom's life.
Did you like the warranty?
You should get her out of your mind
as well.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
The weather looks even nicer today.
I agree.
It's the perfect weather for a walk.
(Attorney at law, Han Yu Ri)
Mom. Let's dine out tomorrow.
It's on me. Are you free tomorrow?
Mom. Over here.
Gosh.
Look at this place.
Is this where lawyers have their meals?
Only for those in dramas.
We have gimbap in the car.
Why is it so expensive?
Hey.
- Let's leave.
- Why?
It's too expensive.
Oh, stop it.
I want to get you
something expensive today.
Why? Do you have something to celebrate?
A complicating case was resolved.
I couldn't be more relieved.
That's great. How did your blind date go?
- Seriously, Mom.
- Sorry.
That day, Mom and I
- didn't say anything about Dad.
- Why do I have to
get in a relationship?
- My mom was relieved
- You do it.
To protect her child
- from a rough wind
- Oh, my gosh. I shouldn't.
That she showed the most
relieved smile after a while.
Perhaps that's when
we finally got over Dad and his mistress.
- You're being silly.
- Feel free to choose what you like.
- And there were two more moms.
- What do they have?
Your daughter fell asleep in
tears after waiting for her mom.
And it's been 13 years since.
(Good Partner)
I raised Jae Hui alone.
What? How dare you lie?
If you don't get Jae Hui's custody,
will my child get to live with his dad?
Let me ask you a favor.
If he's not my son, then whose son is he?
Are you sure something didn't go wrong?
People even ignore their
own children these days.
He raised someone else's son with devotion.
Let's get the most alimony in history.
