DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN
(EPISODE 7)
This way, please.
ATTORNEY PARK YU-SEOK
PR DIRECTOR JIN YEONG-JU
Goodness, look who it is.
Goodness. Isn't this place nice?
Please have a seat.
I was surprised to find out you made an appointment.
We could've talked on the phone.
I didn't have your number.
We've spoken over the phone several times.
Regarding Gi-yeong.
I'll save it.
So what brings you here?
Are you here to take my head
now that you're done with your grapes?
Come on.
What would I do with your head?
You're not even that big of a villain.
"Villain"?
Never mind.
I just had one last thing to check with you.
You said you did your best as an attorney.
Do you still stand by your words?
Should I write it down and have it notarized?
So you do.
All right.
Is that really why you came all the way here?
Despite your busy schedule?
Of course.
I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
There's something I've learned while working as an attorney.
Aren't you curious?
There's a fine line
between an attorney and a con artist.
When the incompetent but money-hungry types become attorneys,
they can easily destroy people's lives.
It's an enormous disaster
for such people to become attorneys.
Those people have neither competence nor conscience.
And they all end up being a figurehead or a puppet.
That's right.
I'm talking about you, Mr. Park.
Why is your hand shaking?
Do you want to throw that at me?
They don't even do that in morning dramas anymore.
I actually came by to give you this,
but I joked around for too long.
Tell her I said this.
"1225."
"Nice timing."
DIRECTOR JIN YEONG-JU
Did you give it to him?
- Yes. - Did you meet him?
No.
When I heard I didn't have to meet him,
it made me want to meet him even more.
I worried he'd miss the bait,
but I guess he didn't.
It's a happy day, so put on a big smile.
- Say cheese! - Look at the camera.
I'll take it now.
One, two, three.
Smile!
Take a good photo, please.
Dinh Thi Hoa!
Goodness.
What are you doing here?
Come here.
- Go talk to him. - Okay.
Let's go already!
PRO BONO CONSULTATIONS WITH KEUMHWA LAW FIRM
Move.
This is none of your business,
so move!
Sir.
Ms. Dinh Thi Hoa and her child are under our protection.
- You can't take them. - You must be in charge here.
When you see a wife who ran away with the baby, you should send her home.
They don't need your protection.
They'll both be safer at home.
Move.
Dinh Thi Hoa, come here right now.
Or you're going to regret it!
Sir.
Your wife is going to file for divorce.
If you intimidate her like this,
she'll have to file for a restraining order.
A restraining order?
You've got to be kidding me.
What restraining order?
Come here right now!
Do you want me to drag you out of there?
Hey, stop right there!
Let me go!
Dinh Thi Hoa, stop right there!
- Call the police! - Hey!
Stop!
Let me go!
Get off me!
Move!
Damn it.
Are you upset?
Get lost.
Or I'll throw you on the ground.
You should meet with Attorney Shin Sung-han.
He'll do his best to help you.
Make sure you show him this business card.
He won't help you otherwise.
He'll be better than a public defender.
I didn't expect him to fall for such an obvious trick.
I'm almost disappointed that he took it so easily.
He must have seen through your ulterior motive.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here with this himself.
- Do your best. - Yes, ma'am.
Sorry? Me?
I can't be the one offering the pro bono legal service, right?
I want you to take the case.
Yes, ma'am.
It's been a while since I dealt with a divorce suit.
Also,
Does the number 1225 mean anything?
He mentioned the last four digits of your phone number.
He said, "1225."
"Nice timing."
You could easily find that out yourself.
You could check Jin Yeong-ju's
travel records around that time
to find the answer.
I thought you would tell me.
Were you close to your sister?
You shouldn't be wasting your life away like this.
Don't you think it's a waste of time?
I'm sure Ju-hwa is resting in a better place.
You see,
I couldn't tell you that I cherished my sister…
or that I loved her.
When I went abroad as a teenager,
I never felt bad about leaving her behind.
So why are you doing this?
I don't know.
All I know is…
that if I could go back in time,
I'd go where she was that night
and make sure she didn't die.
But as I looked more into it,
I found that there were better times to go back to.
I'd go back to the time when she hadn't…
married your son.
She used to call me often around that time.
Our father was trying to set her up for marriage against her will.
She wanted me to stop him.
But I failed to do that.
No, I didn't do anything.
Instead…
I told her that she was a grown woman,
so she should deal with it herself.
That was it.
Because back then,
my graduation recital was more important to me.
It was the final recital before getting my doctorate degree.
Although now…
it doesn't mean anything.
You're asking as Ju-hwa's brother, right?
Yes.
The night of her accident…
At that very moment…
Was Ms. Jin in Hawaii?
Yes.
CHAIRMAN SEO CHANG-JIN
Ma'am, the chairman called.
He's worried that he can't reach you.
Okay.
He wants you at his house in Ichon-dong this evening.
All right.
SHIN SUNG-HAN LAW OFFICE ATTORNEY SHIN SUNG-HAN
Call me if you need me.
Can you guarantee that you can win any case?
No.
But I can guarantee
that I'll put up a fight.
DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN
Sung-han suited up.
What's today?
Just another ordinary day.
Something's up.
I second that.
- You did it, didn't you? - No.
What do you think we're talking about?
Whatever it is, no.
So you did do it.
You got a new suit as soon as you finished the grapes.
- It's been seven years. - Look how clean-shaven he is.
Are you guys bored?
Does she have friends?
I'm good.
Let's see a photo.
What photo?
I'm sure you saw a photo of the girl before going on a blind date.
After all, it's all about the looks for you.
Get out.
Get out of here holding hands and look for an academy.
Find some intensive course on growing up
and sign yourselves up.
I guess we were wrong.
He didn't do it.
You idiot.
If it's just another ordinary day with no blind date,
then why would you get all dressed up and shit?
"Idiot? Shit?"
Didn't you ask for a new sink?
Let me tell you all the words that rhyme with "shit."
Go.
Hit, bit, pit…
What about "idiot"?
I was kidding.
I have a perfect spot for the sink. Do you want to see it?
Let me install a ventilator in that perfect spot instead.
- You smell like poop. - Hey.
- What, asshole? - That's enough.
Don't be so immature.
Exactly. Let's get it together.
How about we go on a group blind date?
Hyeong-geun is single again.
- No, thanks. - Hyeong-geun isn't like you.
Do you think he'll go on bind dates as soon as his divorce is finalized?
"Bind dates"? Bind what?
Come in.
Mr. Jang, the noodle shop called.
The owner lady wants you to stop by for lunch.
Mr. Jang.
Really? As soon as your divorce is finalized?
They just won't leave me alone.
Why is he getting so cocky?
Hey.
Do you want this?
I prefer the natural look.
You look naturally ugly.
Enjoy.
BREAK TIME
- Did you always have break times? - No, just for today.
Just for today? Why?
This is a limited-edition menu.
Don't tell anyone.
It's good. I made it myself.
But why?
She was happy to hear about your divorce and told me to feed you well.
- Who? - My mom.
I told her about the hospital incident and the stroller.
But still…
I prepared it to keep her from doing it herself.
She's too unwell to move.
Eat up before it gets cold.
Did you give her the stroller?
Isn't her brother a pianist?
He's an attorney now.
An attorney?
Gi-yeong never told me that.
I told you myself a few years ago, Father.
Did you?
So what about it?
He's a stranger now.
With Ha-yul growing up,
I feel uncomfortable about Gi-yeong visiting him.
But why is his profession a problem for you?
It's not a big deal.
He specializes
in divorce suits.
- Divorce suits? - To tell you the truth,
Mother has been meeting with him regularly.
I wonder why.
Hey.
Can you look for this curved piece? Number four?
Where the heck is it?
Maybe she wants a divorce.
Let her be. It's not going to happen.
She knows that better than anyone.
I have an inferiority complex.
It's become worse since Gi-yeong's mom passed away.
I don't want any ties with her anymore.
We're working on a pro bono divorce case,
and we're up against Shin Sung-han.
I want to use this lawsuit to cut all ties with him.
I came here to tell you not to worry even if it gets messy.
Ju-hwa is long gone.
Why are you so concerned about her?
If Jeong-guk gets sick of you, that'll be the end.
Get over it and move on with your life.
Let's do an interview on the Dinh Thi Hoa case.
"Keumhwa's pro bono law service gives hope to the socially disadvantaged."
Let's begin with something along that line.
Jin Yeong-ju.
She's trying to destroy Shin Sung-han.
If she goes overboard,
we're all doomed.
Dude.
Are you sure her mom told her to do it?
Why do you ask?
Are you sure So-yeon didn't just say that as an excuse?
She didn't.
Be honest. You thought the same.
You got all excited.
No, I didn't.
As if. So what did you have?
Just a regular meal.
Be more specific, you dunce.
Braised short ribs.
Beef radish soup.
- What else? - Her geotjeori was pretty good.
Geotjeori?
As in freshly-made kimchi
that's crunchy and spicy?
Yes. It was pretty delicious.
Throw it.
And you didn't invite me?
Come on.
How could I?
She just wanted to cheer me up. I couldn't bring a freeloader.
So that's how it is? You think I'm a freeloader?
That's not what I meant.
Come on.
Sung-han, I caught it!
Nice.
It felt like I had to come here.
This has nothing to do with the sink.
- I know. - Do you have a bat?
Don't come any closer. Halt.
Stop. Turn around and leave.
I have an appointment.
Hey, leave your glove.
Let's play. It's been a while.
- Here. - I have a client too.
- Those bastards… - What?
I said, good luck with the consultation.
Jeong-sik.
Yes, Sung-han?
- You look like something. - What?
- What's that called? - What is it?
A long-haired Chihuahua taking a poop.
Totally.
Damn it.
Ms. Lee.
When will I meet the client?
I'm all ready, you see.
I even bought clothes.
To wear to mediation sessions?
You startled me.
You sure have good hearing.
I bought hiking clothes. Look.
You're wearing that to mediation?
What are you talking about?
I'm going to start hiking.
I need to look after my mind and body to defend my clients well.
Hiking would be perfect.
Hello, Ms. Jo Min-jeong.
Isn't this Ms. Jo Min-jeong's phone?
Yes, it is.
May I speak with her?
Who is this?
I'm sorry, but who am I speaking to?
I'm her father.
Who is this?
She can't talk on the phone right now.
She's been hospitalized.
Hospitalized?
Is it serious?
Who is this?
I'm an intake coordinator at a law office.
I called to schedule a meeting with her.
A meeting?
Did she visit a law office?
Yes, sir.
What did she discuss with you?
She overdosed.
We found her in the nick of time.
What did Min-jeong
consult you about?
May I tell you in person?
I'll come right over.
A left ulna fracture…
Left…
Come in.
I need to head out for a minute.
What's wrong? Is it about Hyeon-u?
No.
I must have made a mistake during the consultation.
Calm down. What's going on?
Ms. Jo Min-jeong, the lady I spoke with…
Attorney Choi's client. She's in the hospital.
She overdosed.
Sure. Go ahead.
Don't panic.
- Damn it. Attorney Jun! - Yes, sir.
Give Ms. Lee a ride. I don't think she should drive.
My car's to the right. The number's 4839.
I've never driven this model.
- Should I get a cab? - Just go already.
- I don't care if you crash it. Go. - Yes, sir.
What a nice car.
I could win every case if I drove this to work every day.
Right?
Sorry?
You must be shaken up.
Are you worried?
Yes.
She had an illness.
I've done some research,
and apparently, schizophrenia can't be cured.
She had been betrayed by her husband and was considering divorce.
She must have been under stress.
What I'm trying to say is, there's no way this is your fault.
Do you think she'll agree to meet with us?
Even if she does,
it's not like
we've officially taken her case.
The whole situation's a bit…
She wants a divorce?
Yes, sir.
That's what she told us.
She went there alone.
I would've gone with her if she asked.
Getting a divorce isn't easy.
Why can't they just talk things out?
Talk what out?
Look at her state right now.
Then do you want her to live alone for the rest of her life?
We're going to turn 80 soon.
We can't live with her forever.
Have you forgotten why she's in there?
- She tried to take her... - I'm just so upset.
I'm worried.
If she files for divorce,
what will be the outcome?
I'm afraid I can't answer that since I'm just a coordinator.
But Attorney Choi...
Min-jeong!
- Hyeon-tae. - How's Min-jeong?
Is she okay, Mother?
How did you know she was here?
I mean…
I thought he should know.
Of course I should be here.
I insisted on staying with her,
but she urged me to leave.
This is all my fault.
I should have taken better care of her.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
That's enough.
Let's not cause a scene.
You two should go home and rest.
You must be so shocked.
I'll stay here, and when she wakes up…
You should go.
We can talk later.
I'm sorry.
I should have been there for her.
I'll wait in the lobby.
I can't go…
without her.
I'll be nearby, so let me know.
All right. Go on now.
Park Si-hyeon again?
It's getting old.
We have no choice. She always has nice stories.
She's a great storyteller.
Come in.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I was passing by and brought your favorite bread.
Isn't this bakery in Bundang?
Did you go all the way there?
I heard you had a lot of work.
She needs her carbs when she's stressed out.
I see that you have coffee. Anything else you need?
No, we've got everything.
He went all the way to Bundang. It's true love.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
- Should we take a break? - Sure.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
- This one? - Yes, please.
You should have gone home.
I said I'd be late.
You could have lied about the meeting and gone elsewhere.
I should surprise you sometimes to keep you in check.
I've never betrayed your trust.
That's what they all say.
No one admits to having an affair from the beginning.
I couldn't tell anyone that I was suffering.
Since I chose to marry him,
I thought I had to carry the burden.
Maybe things would have been different
had I confided in others and asked for help.
You chose to harm yourself,
and I chose to have an affair.
And the pain that follows
is for each of us
to bear.
Tomorrow,
next year,
I'll be miserable just the same.
All that I can do…
is to end it all.
I just have to die…
before things get even worse.
Maybe I'm shameless…
but I want to be happy.
I'm still afraid to go grocery shopping.
I'd rather be stuck in traffic than take the subway.
But I want to be happy someday.
"Shameless."
I tried making a different choice.
I became a coordinator at a law office.
I hope you can try making a different choice as well.
When we make our own choices,
we might finally become happy.
I'm going to speak with Ms. Jo.
Please keep an eye on her husband.
Where is he?
Come in.
Should I call Attorney Choi?
I'm sure they'll be fine.
I'm worried.
What are you doing?
I'm reading the consultation notes for his case.
You're going to take it?
I'm just reading up on it so I can advise him.
Shouldn't you be preparing for Mr. Ma Chun-seok's case?
I did.
I even got a suit.
Did you meet with him?
No, I met with Park Yu-seok.
You dressed up for him?
It's a uniform.
My combat uniform. It's nice.
It makes me look wealthy too.
- You're obnoxious. - I know.
Park Yu-seok is so weird.
Why does he keep provoking you?
He was the one who sent Mr. Ma, right?
No, Jin Yeong-ju was.
Jin Yeong-ju?
I remember her.
- Why? - Beats me.
I must bother her.
What a weird woman.
So? Did you see her too?
What for? I don't even know what she looks like.
Why did you meet Park if she's the mastermind?
To annoy him.
His nostrils are huge to begin with,
and they flare so much when he gets annoyed.
You could fit a coin in there.
Are you serious?
What if you end up losing after you annoyed him?
What are you doing?
Hold on.
Let me see.
Yes. That's exactly it.
Are you wearing your crazy uniform today?
What the heck was that?
I was experimenting. Don't yell at me.
You're so annoying.
Experimenting what?
DIAGNOSIS DINH THI HOA
I may be uneducated, but I've never hit anyone.
Farming is exhausting enough.
Apparently, she fractured her left arm trying to protect herself
from getting hit with a bat.
But Mr. Ma can't raise his right arm due to his frozen shoulder.
Maybe he used his left arm.
Do you think so?
If I did this…
See?
If I hit with my left arm, you block with your right arm.
If I hit with my right arm, you block with your left arm.
Left, right.
- Left. - You're right.
It's just natural.
But let's not jump to any conclusions.
Because he could have hit her like this.
Or like this.
There are many variables.
Let's look into it in more detail.
In that sense… All right.
You should go.
- Where? - To Haenam.
Jeong-sik got a new car.
You should break it in.
A cross-country trip with Jeong-sik?
At least you'll have a car.
As long as you're fine with me taking over a week to get there.
He's going to stop at all the good restaurants,
so I'll need a sizeable budget.
That's not good.
How about this?
Why don't you take So-yeon?
GRANDMA'S NOODLE SHOP
Welcome.
Do you like braised short ribs?
I just told him to come by for lunch.
I never said he had to come alone.
I'm glad he did. This is great.
You can only appreciate what you've experienced.
Same goes for food.
I just remember what my mom used to cook for me.
- Isn't it good? - It's delicious.
I'll pack some for Hyeon-u. There's just enough left for him.
I heard about what happened. It sounded pretty bad.
But why are you blaming yourself?
She only came in because she was in a bad place to begin with.
I didn't realize how bad it really was.
I treated her story like one from my listeners.
But did you really?
Maybe.
See?
You can't even tell me what you did wrong.
Normally, when we make mistakes,
we know what we did wrong and whom we offended.
We may end up just buying them coffee because it's too awkward to apologize,
but we know.
But you're feeling guilty for no apparent reason.
That's just ridiculous.
Save your repentance for church.
None of this is your fault.
The soup is really delicious.
It's all thanks to the good beef I put in.
My first case ended before I even met my client.
I'm disappointed in you, Attorney Choi.
How are you disappointed when I didn't even get to do anything?
That lady could have died,
but you're grumbling about not having a case anymore.
I wasn't grumbling.
How do you explain those dark circles then?
They're the proof.
They reached all the way down to my ankles.
That's how sad I am.
You really are a pathological liar.
How could your dark circles reach that far down?
You're not a cartoon character.
This is so frustrating.
I genuinely feel bad for her.
I saw Ms. Jo's husband.
He was bawling and apologizing to her parents.
But something…
just didn't seem right.
I had this uneasy feeling about him.
Seriously?
So I quietly watched him
when he was alone.
And?
He was hiding in a crowd and watching something on his phone.
But he was so sly and meticulous. He only had one earphone in.
And he kept glancing around him.
Something's fishy.
And I caught on to it.
Man, I'm good.
- And then? - Are you curious?
- Are you? - Yes.
As curious as George.
I took a peek at his screen.
Quietly and quickly.
- It was a variety show. - What?
Do you still not get it?
His wife attempted suicide,
but he was giggling while watching a variety show.
- What does that make him? - An asshole.
A bastard.
Hence the dark circles.
Despite my keen sense of justice, my client is dejected.
I feel so bad.
My heart
breaks for her.
You're quite intuitive, Attorney Choi.
How did you think of keeping an eye on her husband?
Only after two years into this job
did I have that kind of hunch.
- Right, Sae-bom? - Really?
Yes.
You must be tired, Ms. Lee.
I'm fine thanks to Attorney Choi.
About Ms. Jo's husband...
Let's talk somewhere quiet.
It's quiet here.
Attorney Choi.
Copyright law is serious business.
This could be considered plagiarism.
You took credit for someone else's
intuitive decision
and excellent reasoning.
That's plagiarism.
It sure isn't an homage.
Show-off.
Whatever. Let's go have some tteokgalbi.
- I found a great restaurant. - I don't like tteokgalbi.
But where are we going?
Haenam.
Haenam…
Can I record a mukbang there?
Okay.
I have to think of a theme.
Take me to the hotel in Myeong-dong.
But Mr. Seo told me to bring you to his place.
That place must have bad energy.
I feel exhausted just thinking about going there.
Wake me up when we get to the hotel.
Yes, ma'am.
I guess it's no use to plead with you
Your heart has already changed
I can't even bring myself To beg you to stay
I'll just be on my way
The lights that resemble our memories
Are weeping tonight
Why did I bring myself
Down this path
That would only break my heart?
That's a nice song.
I guess it's no use to plead with you
Your heart has already changed
I can't even bring myself To beg you to stay
I'll just be on my way
The lights that resemble our memories
Are weeping tonight
Why did I bring myself
Down this path
That would only break my heart?
Why have you been staying
everywhere but our house?
And why have you never visited me since you got back?
I went to see our grandkids,
and our house doesn't feel like home.
It's more comfortable this way.
It's better to grow old together.
What is it?
Can you not stand growing old with me?
I promise to treat you well, so move back in.
I'm going to make up for all the trouble I've caused you.
Think about it.
With all the mistakes I've made, I'll have to treat you like a queen.
You're supposed to have good fortune in your later years, remember?
That reading was a waste of money.
I'll tell Mr. Jung to bring your belongings.
So move back in with me.
Why don't we have pufferfish soup for old times' sake?
I had it yesterday.
It doesn't taste the same anymore.
It tasted fine to me.
Subtle changes are hard to notice.
But in my case, I had it for the first time in years.
You're just like that soup.
I can see you've changed after all these years.
Is that so?
I guess I might have.
I'm going back to Hawaii.
Move back in with me.
You can't wander around forever.
Let's keep living like we always have.
Why change now?
To tell you the truth,
Mother has been meeting with him regularly.
I wonder why.

Seo-jin.
Ho-yeong!
Hi, I used to work with Seo-jin.
Hello.
- Would you like some tea? - Sure.
Seo-jin, don't I look like Léon?
How do you like this lemon tree?
Where should I put it?
How about here?
Why don't we go out?
- There's a cafe nearby. - Seo-jin.
I'm loving this office look on you.
Mr. Jang, I'll be back after a cup of tea.
Feel free to use the consultation room.
Were you the writer of her radio show?
The producer.
The producer? Goodness.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Attorney Choi Jun.
Did you guys work on that morning show together?
Yes.
What are you doing nowadays?
The same show that she was on?
Me? Of course not.
She got me that job.
I'd be a jerk to have remained on the show.
- Of course. - Right?
- Bang Ho-yeong. - "Ho-yeong"?
Oh, my. I love your name. It sounds so friendly.
I'm Sae-bom.
Thank you.
This place has good energy.
It's old but cozy.
It feels like home.
Please take a seat.
It's too late to leave now, Ms. Lee.
Sir.
She's a former colleague of Ms. Lee's.
- She's a radio show producer. - Hello.
Aren't you Attorney Shin Sung-han?
Yes, I am.
Excuse me.
- She just came. - Hello?
I'm sorry.
There was nowhere else to park.
- Is that Jeong-sik? - The parking lot was full.
Me? No, I'm not going to the real estate office.
Tell him you're here.
They say I can park there.
Sorry? The law office.
Don't worry about it. You don't have to move your car.
I'm going home after a meeting.
- Goodbye. - Have a good night, sir.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
Does he have a girlfriend?
I've never seen one. We're not that close.
He's been single for years. Isn't that shocking?
Have you been counting down, Sae-bomb?
- I love it here! - Don't you?
Have a seat.
- Please have a seat. - Okay.

Why did she park her car here?
Damn it.
She did your makeup?
Yes.
When was that again?
Back then… How do I put it?
I looked
a bit "classic."
"Classic" isn't a synonym for "old-fashioned."
Right. I was old-fashioned.
But suddenly, she grabbed my hand.
She said my makeup would shock the judges.
She gave me a makeover.
I almost had a heart attack.
The DJ of my dreams
was right in front of me, doing my makeup.
I'll never forget that moment.
Ms. Lee, can you do mine too?
- I just need to fix my eyebrows, right? - No.
You can't just park anywhere you like!
It's peak hours for business right now,
but she parked her car right in front of my workplace.
This isn't right!
Since when do you have peak hours? Today?
You little…
Where's the landlord?
The parking lot, the offices,
and the sink…
Everything is a total mess!
I'm sorry. She was about to leave.
- Is she your friend? - Yes.
You should have said something.
Right, you couldn't.
You should have left a note saying you were here for Ms. Lee.
She was the producer of Ms. Lee's radio show.
Exactly.
Look at these goosebumps. My hair's standing on end.
I'm an avid listener.
The moment I arrive at my office,
I turn on the radio right away.
"Good morning to you."
That's their rival show from another station, Jeong-sik.
My mistake.
Ms. Lee, do you see these goosebumps?
- You see those? - You have goosebumps all the time.
You got me.
Please sit down.
Have a seat.
Go. It's your peak hours.
JAPANESE RESTAURANT SILVER
Why don't you get media exposure?
- Sorry? - A lot of doctors and lawyers
appear on TV shows these days.
Maybe I can look into it.
No, thank you.
I don't mean anything by it.
Whether you become notorious or renowned for your competence,
I just want you to make it big.
You told me to call you
if I ever wanted a divorce.
But I'm too afraid.
You said you'd put up a fierce fight.
But against Daenam Electronics' team of attorneys,
you'll look much shabbier from the beginning.
If that's why, you really don't need to worry.
It's a lawsuit, not a show.
But thank you for telling me.
I'm going back to Hawaii soon.
Excuse me.
Hello, sir. I'm in a meeting right now.
- I'll call you in an hour or... - What the heck is this?
Why is my divorce on the news?
Pardon?
Excuse me. I'm sorry.

WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE.
DID HE WANT A YOUNGER WIFE THAT BADLY?
WE NEED THE DEATH PENALTY.

Damn it.
Pork belly would be too heavy, right?
But it's great for drinking during the day.
Ramyeon is pretty good with drinks as well.
That's for college students.
Come on.
Something's up again.
ATTORNEY SHIN SUNG-HAN
DIAGNOSIS DID MA CHUN-SEOK ASSAULT HER?
I'm at Jeong-sik's office. Call me if you need me.
LEAVE FOR VIETNAM? GIVE UP PERMANENT RESIDENCY?
DID MA CHUN-SEOK ASSAULT HER? DINH THI HOA'S FRACTURE
This is Shin Sung-han.
Hi.
I wasn't so sure when I first went to Vietnam.
I only went there because my mother had begged me to.
So I thought I'd just go sightseeing.
It was my first time getting a passport.
When I got there
and met Dinh Thi Hoa for the first time…
I knew I had to
bring her back.
She lived with her siblings and her widowed mother.
They had no hope.
I knew I could support them if I worked a bit harder.
So I decided
to start a family with her.
But who was I to pity her?
I shouldn't have been so naive.
I was happy to be a father at 50.
But guess what?
People call me
an old man who bought in a poor woman.
They say I'm despicable.
Do you like that song?
I listen to it often.
It's one of my favorites too.
It's nice to hear it over the phone.
Do you listen to trot music too?
Of course.
I suddenly became fond of it one day.
All of a sudden.
Mr. Ma.
You should get your honor back.
What honor do I have to get back?
You need to prove to everyone
that you didn't buy or abuse a young, foreign woman.
There's your honor.
This lawsuit is going to get messier.
I called to warn you in advance.
I'm going to do something.
I'll become the talk of the town.
And I'll get
your honor back.
Good night.
They just won't leave me alone.
DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN
There's something else that bothers me.
Your wife left home
but returned the next day.
The public opinion is in support of Dinh Thi Hoa.
We need the public's attention to turn the tables.
We'll find a way.
Why was Park Yu-seok there?
What was he up to?
We need to find him and hide him.
This is a very important question for reclaiming your honor.
So please be honest with me.
