[Love in Contract]
[All the characters, businesses, groups, locales, products, and incidents are fictitious. The use of animals was filmed safely under the supervision of experts]
Kang Hae Jin is so powerful as a brand.
That makes me curious.
Being loved as a human being, Kang Hae Jin.
And being loved as the character you played.
Which do you prefer?
I'm much happier when I'm being loved as the character
rather than being loved as myself.
If someone likes me but not my character,
I think I'd feel hurt a bit.
I think I'm loved enough as myself by people
- I cherish around me. - That's so sweet...
They won't ask about anything else other than the film, right?
Look how many people are tuning in right now.
Why did he have to beat that innocent biker anyway?
He's not capable of acting out like that.
Let's go to the next question.
Excuse me for a sec.
The assault incident last night
involved your fiancee's stalker. Is that true?
Pardon?
Also, is it true that your fiancee divorced multiple times?
- Pardon? - The articles keep popping up.
What is he talking about?
[Kang Hae Jin's woman's shocking past]
Wh-What's all this?
We're in trouble.
[Love in Contract]
[Episdoe 12] Ji Ho.
Did you see the articles?
What articles?
Why are there articles like that...
Are you okay, Sang Eun?
To be honest, I'm not okay.
Because of you two.
Kang Hae Jin's image would be damaged because he's a celebrity.
And you're...
a judge of Family Court too.
People won't trust you if you get involved with something like this.
Not only that, your image at work was improving.
I don't care about what other people think of me.
To me,
you matter the most.
Excuse me.
Yes, Hae Jin.
Sang Eun, did you see the articles?
- Are you okay? - Yes, I saw them.
Where are you now?
I'm so worried.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
First of all, let's focus on minimizing the damage you'd get.
I'll think of a plan and call you back.
Yes.
By chance...
Is there anything I can do...
Please wait a moment.
I'll try to work this out myself.
I think that'd make me feel better.
Should we finish up
the date today, then?
I'm sorry.
You must've worked hard to find a hip spot like this.
It was my first time doing stuff like that.
I liked it.
[Kang Hae Jin's woman's shocking past]
["I hate my sister-in-law for abandoning my brother," A post attacks Kang Hae Jin's girlfriend]
Thank you so much for forgiving him.
You were...
always a good person.
Thank you!
I told you that's her. I told you I have an eye for this!
I wish I could say it's not.
But it's totally his wife!
- My gosh. - I got goosebumps.
She must be her twin.
He's always early. What's taking him so long?
If he comes, I'll ask him right away.
Judge Jung!
Have you... eaten?
Looking into his eyes...
made my brain stop.
Well, Sunbaenim. Here.
[Certificate of Marriage History]
Does anyone know about this?
Chairman found out.
Because of this scandal,
his past was revealed too.
He's worried that the company might be in jeopardy.
I'll confirm myself first.
I'll meet with Chairman myself.
Well, Sunbaenim!
Whenever you meet with Chairman,
we feel like we're walking on thin ice.
Sunbaenim, if you keep doing this,
something might happen to you. I'm worried, to be honest.
Let's just let go of the past and...
Noona.
Open the door.
You haven't come out since yesterday. What are you doing?
Choi Sang Eun!
You know how I never cross the line, right?
But this isn't right.
I'll really break this door if you don't open it!
One.
Two.
I said two!
Three!
How dare you cross the line? You want to die?
I thought you were having terrible thoughts!
Aigoo...
Gwang Nam, sit up.
What for?
Have I caused you any damage?
What are you talking about? I was always happy.
You saved my life.
Has Madam Yoo said anything lately?
Break up with her. With Ms. Jamie.
You should stop living with her.
No.
We're getting along. Don't worry.
That's a relief.
- I'll step out for a second. - Where are you going? W-Where? Where?
Shouldn't you go hiking now?
- I'll take care of things. - Take care of what?
What will you do?
It's all Kang Hae Jin's fault!
Why did he insist that you help him when you wanted to retire?
Tell him to take care of everything.
I asked where you were going!
You told me to go to Kang Hae Jin!
You're trying to take all the blame, aren't you?
Take all the blame...
Why are you flipping out? I'm fine!
What do you mean, you're fine?
[Congratulations on Judge Jung Ji Ho's promotion] I baked this myself.
Family Affairs Department No. 12. You guys are always the No. 1 department for solving most cases every year.
Thanks to your hard work, Judge Jung Ji Ho
finally might move on up.
Chief, by chance...
Have you seen the articles on the internet?
Kang Hae Jin's fiancee...
I've been subscribing only to a physical newspaper for 35 years.
Regardless of changes through time.
Let's congratulate him together.
If we cheer him up like this,
he might understand this is what life is about.
I'll take two, then.
What a great idea.
Why don't you bring him out here, then?
Hurry.
Okay.
Chief is here.
You might need to come out for a second.
Okay.
Well, what's all this?
Congratulations in advance on your promotion.
It's almost certain that you're getting promoted.
So maintain your image until next spring as a public figure.
Manage your emotions too.
Remember a few things to improve your personality...
I have something to tell you.
You don't want to hear the rest?
I started talking first.
Today is a good day. Okay, go ahead, then.
Until the day I retire,
I'll never get promoted.
Please make sure my name isn't mentioned as a promotion candidate, in any case.
Well...
I want to do my job
in my current position.
Am I weird, or is he weird?
Are we both weird?
Should I take this back... No, just eat it.
This is not a crisis.
It's a disaster.
It's not like we have no solution.
What is it? What should we do?
We'll make Kang Hae Jin a victim.
A man who didn't know anything about Choi Sang Eun.
He wasn't ever interested in looking into his lover's past.
- That's how he got betrayed. - Yes!
That's great! I can feel it!
It's not bad!
No one can blame you for not knowing what kind of person your girlfriend was.
You were fooled!
I can never allow that.
No.
I'd rather retire.
Let's go with Choi Sang Eun using Kang Hae Jin.
I hid my countless divorce records
and chose him as my last stop.
Are you crazy?
Everyone is ganging up on you already.
Do you want to let them bury you?
I caused you harm because of my personal history.
It'd be fair for me to receive a penalty.
Let's go with that.
What are you all talking about right now?
Your face was exposed to the whole country.
I think you should think of yourself first right now.
How come you're so much better all the time?
You never care, and you're always right.
And you always get beaten alone.
Why do you live like that?
Please prepare the press release for us.
Sang Eun, please listen to me.
Aren't you being too cruel to me?
- What do you mean? - You don't care about how I feel at all.
I'm doing this because I care about your feelings.
You don't want to cause me harm, right?
But I...
I hate to see you suffer more than having to suffer a loss myself!
Do you know how that feels?
Just do as I say.
Since the first time I saw you,
I decided to live like you.
That's why I fought my father and brothers.
I came this far while my mom told me cruel things.
You gave me the power to do that.
I don't want to see you crumble.
What do you mean? I'm not crumbling down.
You think Yoo Mi Ho would just sit back and watch?
I know you told her that you're dating me.
That woman is the one who told my family that you're
Eena Group's daughter.
[Ji Ho oppa]
The call is not going through. Please leave a message after the tone...
Pick up the phone.
I'm holding a press conference for Kang Hae Jin.
I'll say Choi Sang Eun took advantage of Kang Hae Jin.
[Ji Ho oppa]
Judge Jung, you have a visitor.
Again?
He said he knows you.
I didn't do anything wrong.
You're making me nervous for no reason.
You know who I am, right?
Yes, I've seen you.
You're Sang Eun's roommate, right?
Yes.
I was one of her clients too.
I suspected that you might not have known that.
Choi Sang Eun sure is strict about other people's privacy.
Anyway, how did you not get the wrong idea?
She said she lives with a man.
She told me there was nothing to worry about.
Yes, well...
I'm not interested in women.
I came here because of Noona.
I couldn't just leave her alone.
Do you know some facts about her?
Such as... how she grew up?
I only heard about her possible relationship with Eena Group and something about Yoo Mi Ho.
Is there something you'd like to tell me?
Well, I don't know the details either.
But I know that she hates that woman.
But why did she survive her for 13 years
and she lost all her assets on her.
Not only that, she gave her a room in the apartment.
She either put a spell on her growing up,
or she owes her something.
But what I'm so angry about is...
that she still controls her life.
She kicked me out too.
All she wants is to arrange a marriage for her.
And as that continues,
she keeps destroying herself.
As long as that woman exists,
Noona can never be happy.
To be honest,
when I heard that
you were Noona's judge in the divorce court,
I got the hint.
What do you mean...
You requested to file a marriage license
so she stops getting divorced, right?
You wanted to keep her under your name.
Isn't that right?
Do you...
know how much I hired her for?
100,000 won.
With that, she paid for the wedding expenses,
my tuxedo, my mom and sisters'
hanbok and all...
other things too.
She can't stand other people getting miserable, except when it comes to herself.
Aigoo, she's so foolish.
Noona...
really likes you.
So I want you to
become the first man
to save Choi Sang Eun.
How low can you go, Madam Yoo?
How far can you fall exactly?
All I want to do is to lift you up.
No.
All you want to do is to take advantage of me!
It's for your future!
I can manage my own life.
This...
Is this the result of managing yourself?
[Certificate of Marriage History]
You think you have the right to discuss how low I can go?
You completely lost your value as a bride!
How dare you ruin my work...
"How dare you ruin my work?"
You finally admit it.
As long as that woman exists,
Noona can never be happy.
Some pretty woman visited me.
She said she wants to adopt me.
And she became my nanny.
Yes.
I'd like to request information regarding Eena Group.
I'll send you the details in the message.
[Mom, CEO Choi...]
Yes, Jung Hwan.
Don't tell the CEO
and contact the press for me.
[Ji Ho oppa]
Hello?
It's me.
Yes, Oppa.
Can I see you for a moment?
Sure.
Where?
I'll send you the address.
I'm sorry to call you out of the blue.
No.
Don't you remember? We used to do this often.
We worked at the Prosecutors' Office back then.
Did you have dinner?
I have something to tell you.
I have a favor to ask.
I didn't warn you about the press conference, so I'd get asked this kind of favor.
What's the reason?
This is...
the best solution.
Choi Sang Eun, that woman...
What is she to you anyway?
Why do you care about her so much?
She needs my care
and she's the only one I care about.
You're doing this to hurt me, aren't you?
You mean you're sincere?
You suffered because of me.
Loving someone like me was hellish for you.
So why did you have to choose someone like her?
Because I like the way things are now.
I liked all the moments we shared.
I think I'd be happy even if everything else disappeared
except for those moments.
I would've preferred to hear that you hate me.
Don't think that I'd assist your romance.
Attorney Jung, Hae Jin held a press conference without telling us!
- What should we do? - When?
Today?
I think I'm crazy. What's wrong with me?
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm having coffee at a cafe.
We can talk, right?
I think I'd miss you if I talked to you.
Sang Eun.
Are you sure you're okay?
Of course, I am.
My mind is made out of steel.
Ji Ho.
♫ The wind I missed... ♫
I'm really okay
This is really nothing to me, but...
I'm afraid your life would
get ruined because of me. That's what I fear most.
Our relationship would turn into a gossip
and because of that, the amazing things you do every day
would get covered up because of that.
♫ The wind from far away... ♫
That's why...
♫ Now, it's all... ♫
I think...
we should stay apart for a while.
♫ It's all okay once it passes ♫
Should I stay away from you, then?
♫ Open the door ♫
Yes.
♫ And take more time ♫
♫ You shine on me ♫
Should I stay away
or hug you instead?
♫ You became light and shined on me ♫
♫ You're the only one for me ♫
♫ All the pains from the past ♫
♫ I want to shine on you like warm sunshine ♫
♫ I'll be a part of you and show you how I feel ♫
♫ Open the door ♫
♫ Take more time ♫
♫ You shined on me, and I'll be like springtime for you ♫
♫ You became light and shined on me ♫
♫ You're the only one for me ♫
All the articles and rumors.
They're all misunderstandings.
Her marriages...
were not sincere.
The hate comments toward my woman...
I'll take strict legal action against them.
I'm not sure if that's right.
Hyung, well...
- She's here. - Who?
CEO Choi?
You can't just do stuff like this on your own.
I'll handle the press conference, Actor Kang.
How am I supposed to trust you?
Why do I have to be treated like this?
I'm your lawyer.
Just fire me if you're going to keep doubting me!
This is my comeback too.
I can't damage my career because of an unruly client!
I'm not interested in using her for my own survival.
I know. You already expressed your opinion.
If you show up in front of the camera now,
it'd only appear as a childish love affair.
Everything you'll say
would sound like what Choi Sang Eun made you say them.
I'll try saving you both.
I promise.
Hello.
I'm Jung Ji Eun, the legal representative of Kanghan Entertainment.
The reporting regarding the fiancee's marriage history
is true.
It's all true.
Everything happened in her past
has nothing to do with Kang Hae Jin.
Choi Sang Eun, whose identity was exposed by the media
has 12 divorce records.
Not only that,
the numerous common law marriages she was involved with have been confirmed as true.
- Is she out of her mind... - Let's hear her speak a bit more...
- Let go! - If you go up now, it'd be a disaster!
But Choi Sang Eun...
meant every moment of those marriages.
But unfortunately, her relationships didn't last.
All of the cases have one thing in common.
The ones who were involved in the marriages, meaning all of her ex-husbands
described the relationship as love without regrets.
They're sincerely wishing her the best for her future.
Also none of the informants from the families
criticized Choi Sang Eun's character in any way.
[Live from Kang Hae Jin's press conference]
Although Kang Hae Jin was aware of all of these facts,
she wanted to become Choi Sang Eun's last love.
What's important is
that the two of them are genuinely in love.
There's nothing illegal about their relationship
and furthermore, Choi Sang Eun, his fiancee
is not a celebrity.
Regarding personal attack, defamation,
and spreading of false information,
we'll take firm legal action without exception.
I'd like to stress the fact that
the two of them are more in love than anyone else in the world.
I hope you support
their sincere love.
Thank you.
My goal was to express that I'd put up a fight against the hate comments toward you,
but Attorney Jung begged me not to...
I guess it could've been a lot worse.
I can't talk now because reporters are everywhere.
Let's talk in person tomorrow.
Okay then.
I think I need to see Hae Jin.
Sang Eun.
Yes?
This is the best we can do.
- But you should... - Don't worry about me.
I...
can manage myself.
We can't have everything.
It's true that the press conference minimized
further damage to the clients.
Kang Hae Jin won't be affected as much, either.
Taking the least risk as possible.
Isn't that the right way?
I thought our relationship was strong enough to endure this much
for each other, no?
You need time to break up with Kang Hae Jin publicly, right?
I understand.
I...
would like to respect
your last mission.
Thank you, Ji Ho.
"Kang Hae Jin's heartfelt love story."
"Kang Hae Jin is endlessly weak in front of her."
"Kang Hae Jin Kang-Hae-Jin-ed."
"A man who broke prejudice one more time."
"He even loved differently."
Wow, his image totally improved!
You're the luckiest bastard.
We survived! We survived!
Attorney Jung, please watch the media reports closely.
By the way, how did you know?
The fact that most of the husbands are fond of her.
I have to tell you something.
I have a favor to ask.
This is the best solution.
[M.M.C.- Men who married Choi Sang Eun]
M.M.C.
Men who married Choi Sang Eun?
Wow, everyone is so favorable to her.
"We were happy."
"We'll protest if the rumors keep spreading."
She was my savior, not my lover.
We should defend her.
She didn't do anything wrong.
She only cared about me until we broke up.
Let's make them take the photos down first!
Everyone is keeping the contract a secret as if they made a pact, right?
They're men who hired her as a wife
to be recognized by someone.
If people find out about the contract,
they'd face too much loss.
The rumor about Eena Group's only daughter is
involved in the Kang Hae Jin scandal is
already starting to spread in the industry.
She was apparently seen having a meal with the Kangjin Group...
She should've lived like she was dead.
What the hell do you do?
Get out!
Don't show up in front of me!
Hanbok suits her better than I thought.
Her personal colors are similar to mine too.
So that was eight years ago?
She looks about the same, but cute.
[Jamie]
Yes.
Let's meet at your place at 7 p.m. this evening.
Would you be okay?
A lot of people would notice you.
There are tons of reporters in front of the house.
It's okay. See you this evening.
Seriously!
It's on the way, anyway. I have stuff to carry too!
Get it together. How dare you use me as your driver?
I said I'll drive.
You're so stuck up.
Look at all this stuff I have. You're so cold-hearted.
We'll go forward with the photoshoot today.
CEO told me to just cancel the interview...
What are you doing?
Are you stealing in broad daylight now?
He said he takes supplements, so I told him to take them.
He apparently has bad joints.
What?
Wow, you never gave me one!
You never asked.
That's because I wanted you to have them since you're always in pain...
Wow, these two...
He's kind of sensitive.
He was born ugly, but he's not mean.
I'll try calming him down.
You have a good eye on people.
How's Sang Eun doing?
Is she really mad at me?
Well, I was worried about that too.
But she's fine.
She's totally calm.
- I'll get going! -O-Okay.
Calm?
What's the deal?
Another day has passed.
Time must've flown by for you.
Because you were having fun confirming the rumor about Kang Hae Jin's fiancee.
I don't feel so satisfied even after reading the articles.
I think I'd feel better if Brain Freeze Ji Ho explained everything to me.
You saw him this morning, right?
He's back to his old mode.
He's telling us not to even think about asking him.
Who are you?
Hello, I'm Attorney Jung Ji Eun.
You're from the press conference...
I'm here to see Judge Jung Ji Ho.
Yes, come this way.
Judge Jung.
Oppa.
She said, "Oppa?"
Is she her sister?
Was that to your satisfaction?
You must not trust me because you wrote everything down.
I'm a lawyer who makes a living with my words too.
And it was my job.
But you didn't read what I wrote.
What's important is that the two of them are genuinely in love.
Regardless of the process,
I thought you'd be thankful because it worked better than your plan.
Choi Sang Eun's reputation
can only be restored fully if their relationship
is concluded to be very passionate.
You knew that, but you tried to avoid it, didn't you?
Was that really the only reason?
Honestly, it's a win-win situation for everyone.
I can't be the only one to lose, right?
But the only loser is right here.
I can tell you now, right?
Don't think that I'd assist your romance.
What do I get out of this?
What do you want?
You know it's not money.
Fine. I'll do what you want me to do.
I'll get what I want afterward.
You must know that you have a high price to pay.
- Tell me. - Not now.
I'll save it for now and tell you later.
I think he owes his sister money.
Did they make a bet?
What's going on exactly?
Why is the sister-in-law helping his wife and Kang Hae Jin's affair?
She's Kang Hae Jin's lawyer.
Doesn't that feel kind of Hollywood?
Carry on, then.
Yes.
Judge Jung, it's time to head home.
He's still working.
We'll go home, then!
What am I doing right now?
Why is she coming to my place anyway?
I thought she'd say she won't ever see me again.
Whatever. I'll just pretend not to care.
Didn't you have any problems coming in?
You didn't cover your face up.
I changed the concept based on the situation.
Situation?
I haven't come here for work in a long time.
There were tons of reporters outside.
Aren't you angry at me?
For doing that without asking you?
Getting angry won't do anything.
You must have your own reason too.
By the way,
it's obviously dinner time.
You don't have anything?
I thought you prepared dinner with wine since you've always talked about it.
You think I'm stupid?
I won't try to score points in this situation.
What changed anyway?
You never suggested eating proper dinner together.
Anyway, you're saying you haven't eaten, right?
Are you hungry?
Thinking about it now, I haven't had a single meal today.
If so...
Well, I just...
ordered these just in case.
Feel free to eat with me if you'd like.
I ate so much.
We have so much left. It'd be a pity to throw it away.
Why would I throw it away?
I'll freeze it and eat it throughout the entire week.
I hate wasting food more than anything.
I eat all the green onions in tteokbokki too.
Who'd end up with someone so charming as you?
Don't you know you're not supposed to touch what you won't buy?
Don't evaluate me if you won't take me.
Are you trying to jump ahead because you don't want to get scolded?
Why are you being so sensitive?
You're being too nice to me today.
As if it's really the last time.
By the way, what scene did you create?
You even exposed your face in front of the reporters.
Today...
will be reported as the day I broke up with you.
Let's finish this up now.
I want to find my true self regardless of the contract.
Kang Hae Jin's love affair was sincere,
but Choi Sang Eun couldn't handle the attention
and ended the relationship.
Let's say that's how it went.
But would you be okay?
If we announce the breakup,
your image would get more damaged than mine.
The way people describe me right now
is all true, anyway.
I think I lingered long enough.
Why don't we get married?
I'm not proposing.
You can be in a relationship with Jung Ji Ho if you want.
But I think this might be better.
Neither you nor I
think marriage is evidence of love.
We don't need to create gossip for people, either.
And in the end, both parties
would benefit from it too.
I'm not interested in putting in the effort for Eena Group.
How bad is your relationship with your parents that you're saying that?
I'm sorry.
I just messed up, didn't I?
I...
am not the daughter of Eena Group.
Pardon?
For an arranged marriage
with Kangjin Group,
I was adopted.
I grew up abroad to hide that fact.
I was Eena Group's major project.
So don't compare yourself with me.
We're fundamentally different.
You're not doing this to sever the ties between us, are you?
You know that it's totally possible in that world.
♫ Because I have you ♫
You said you
changed the way you live because of me.
So I thought I needed to tell you.
But why do you live with a woman like that?
You even lost all your money because of her.
♫ I make up my mind every day ♫
I'll get going.
♫ Whenever I take a step forward, I'm two steps behind ♫
♫ I think we briefly walked on the same path ♫
♫ We couldn't cross paths because we were too different ♫
♫ My heart keeps moving in the opposite direction ♫
♫ Even if we keep circling each other ♫
What? Why are you blocking me?
She's leaving!
Take her picture!
Hae Jin was apprehensive about what you might think.
Did you go there to yell at him?
Not at all.
If...
only the situation didn't force me to be harsh with him,
I'd like to comfort him, honestly.
Because I know well that he's lonely.
No, Choi Sang Eun. That'd be like poison to him.
To be honest, I'm relieved.
If the articles said that he was victimized by you...
Gosh, I don't even want to imagine it.
Well...
Has the judge...
contacted you at all?
We decided to take some time.
I think it's really dog crap!
You always distance yourself from your boyfriends if you feel a little burdened!
It's natural to only want to show your good side to someone you love.
You have to cling and depend on him if you're suffering!
I went all the way there to teach him...
- What? - Never mind! I...
I'm so frustrated because of you!
It's so tiring when your significant other blocks you off!
Forget it. I don't know. Whatever.
I really don't know, either.
Geez!
[Kang Hae Jin's lady!]
What is it? Let me see.
Why would you watch this? It's bad for your mental state.
Me?
Hey! Stop...
Alright, let's watch it.
He's a superstar, and he's the iconic bad boy.
Kang Hae Jin's love story stirred up the whole nation...
Her problems started in her childhood.
She has never been loved growing up.
Women like that are hopeless.
They don't believe it even when they receive true love.
And they think it's weak to show affection.
So they make their partners miserable.
They make them feel exhausted.
Turn that off!
Get exhausted! Get exhausted. I'm getting exhausted.
She became a collector of men.
How are you supposed to be in a relationship with someone like her?
The answer is to not get involved.
You can't change people. No, no!
Isn't it funny?
I've changed. I'm different now.
What kind of dog crap is that...
What is all this nonsense anyway...
All the chaebols are like this...
That's so exhausting. That's why...
How crappy.
We still have three hours left!
- Until what? - My birthday party!
Are you that excited?
Of course! It only happens once a year.
I'm really going to eat a lot today. Today is a cheating day. A cheating day!
Where are we going again?
It's my aunt's restaurant.
She let me use the whole place for my birthday!
- Doesn't that sound so fun? - Really?
Judge Jung! You're coming tonight, right?
Tonight, I...
Am I coming to what?
Kim Yoo Mi's birthday party! Me!
Come with us, Judge Jung.
You must be stressed out. You should force yourself to have fun.
Yes, Judge Jung! Come with us.
Well...
Are you worried that we'd ask you about something?
We'll make sure not to ask you anything tonight.
I don't have the capacity to care about anything other than my birthday.
You're... coming, right?
Yes, let's go.
♫ Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you ♫ [Closed today]
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
♫ Happy birthday, dear Yoo Mi ♫
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
- Happy birthday! - Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so happy!
Wh-What's this?
It's lipstick. It's a new product.
I thought it'd go well with your lip color.
I really wanted this!
Thank you!
I got you a belly dance uniform.
I noticed you were really good last time.
Open it!
Should I take a peek?
Wow! This is...
No good?
Thank you!
This is a hand massager.
Because your hands are precious.
Thank you!
You shouldn't have gotten all this stuff.
You didn't have to bring anything.
Well, I didn't bring anything because I found out late.
Yes...
Well, I have tomorrow too!
Cheers then!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Have some!
- It looks good. - It looks really good.
My aunt is a great cook...
What are you doing?
I'm at a party because it's Ms. Kim's birthday.
I see, Ms. Kim?
How about a present?
What present?
Didn't you say it's a birthday party?
Well, yes.
But I found out too late.
I'll raise a toast, then!
How many times have you done it? That's enough.
Well, you're all celebrating my birthday.
And you even gave me gifts. To return the favor...
I'll finally show you a real belly dance performance.
Start the music!
One, two, three, four!
How did you come here...
Happy birthday.
I thought Ji Ho probably forgot.
Wow, I'm so jealous.
Thank you.
How did you find us here all of a sudden?
I invited her.
- If you feel uncomfortable... - No! Not at all!
- Please join us. - Have a seat! Have a seat.
You finished dancing, right?
Yes, yes, I guess...
- Let's clank the glasses. - Cheers!
Yes.
I'm not sure where to start.
You must all know because you saw the news.
I'm...
a single life helper.
Getting married is my job.
Jung Ji Ho was my client too.
But I grew to like him.
So I feel like...
I unintentionally misled you.
I'm here to apologize.
No, not at all!
No need to apologize...
It's okay.
How about Hae Jin...
Kang Hae Jin and I had a contract too.
To be honest,
I don't need anything else.
I just want my oppa not to get married.
That's all I want!
I really haven't slept for days because of that.
And hearing that was the best birthday present I got today!
Applaud!
Hold on, hold on! I have a question.
What do you see in Judge Jung...
Ji Ho kind of...
grows on you.
I know!
I want to...
slap him in his face...
I really want to...
Let me slap...
So...
Can we hear about the love story between you two?
- Yes! - Hold on, hold on!
Before that, we should have another round as a refresher.
And let's get to it afterward.
- Okay! - Sounds good!
Let's do waves.
Who should go first? Who should go first?
I'll go first!
You go first!
There are rumors about Jamie.
Chief Yoo. How did you raise her anyway?
Chief Yoo?
Do I still belong to the Eena Group?
Why are you so shameless?
Because of your failed project,
the company faced serious damage.
I have my limit to my patience too.
I caused damage...
You have feelings for Ms. Jamie, right?
I think...
you're a perfect fit.
Do you not feel confident?
Confident...
That's not the issue here.
You can gain someone's heart
or conquer it too.
I guess you don't know that Jamie is seeing someone.
Kangjin's youngest son is still an option.
He's really in love with Jamie.
So...
What will you do about it?
A marriage between Eena and Kangjin.
Haven't you been dreaming of that?
Yes.
I'll tell you one last time.
Accept Jamie as your family.
No.
You think I've been doing nothing for 13 years?
Everything that has happened at Eena since it was established
is all in here.
You should've told me if you wanted it.
You're so naughty.
That's a copy.
Call me if you're ready to accept a new family member.
A copy?
I love you!
Thank you!
Let's go for round two!
Round two! Round two!
We'll get going then!
See you!
I'll drive you home.
No, I think I'll want to stay with you if we do that.
I feel that way too.
But you came here without telling me.
What happens to us keeping our distance?
Wasn't it awkward to see your coworkers at the courthouse?
I know how sensitive you are.
I thought you might be staring at the ground all the time.
When did I stare at the ground anyway?
Let's just be like this for a minute and leave.
No.
Two minutes.
Three minutes?
Thank you.
[Marriages/Divorces - Spouse: Woo Gwang Nam, Jung Tae Ho, married/divorced, Jung Ji Ho, married]
Hello.
You must be in a good mood, Mr. Woo.
Have a seat for a moment.
What is it?
You might not know how to use chopsticks properly,
but I think you understand basic manners.
The more I see you, the better
you seem, Mr. Woo.
Why is she calling me "Mr. Woo" suddenly?
Why are you making me nervous?
Wh-What are you trying to bring up now?
Do you know about someone named Jung Ji Ho?
Mr. Wednesday & Friday?
No, I'm not really sure.
I've never heard of him...
I saw you two together.
Really?
I visited him at the courthouse because I needed to tell him something and...
Where did I meet him?
Where did you see us?
So, I guess he works at the courthouse?
Yes.
No!
He's been married to Ms. Jamie
for five years.
Looks like they're
seeing each other now.
Why do you keep asking me if you know it already?
Geez! Leave Noona alone, please!
I want Ms. Jamie
to be happy.
Tell me more about Jung Ji Ho.
I really don't know!
I'm warning you.
Don't do anything, please! Okay?
You scared me! What are you doing here?
Noona, I'm so sorry.
About what?
I think I made a mistake again.
- What? - Well, the thing is...
I think I was tricked by the questioning.
What? What exactly happened?
Well...
That lady kept asking me about the judge and...
I said I really don't know... Noona!
Noona, Noona, hold on! Noona.
Noona, hold on...
What are you scheming exactly?
Everything I did to you was for your own benefit.
Although you kicked all of it away,
I'm still only focused on your happiness.
Do you think I'm lying?
So?
Do I look happy right now?
You said you never felt loved, didn't you?
So even if someone who can give you true love shows up,
you don't even recognize him.
Kang Hae Jin is really in love with you.
Stop the bulls***!
Why did you ask about Jung Ji Ho?
You'd need more time.
I should be taking care of Yoo Mi Ho,
not Kang Hae Jin.
[Personnel Record Card]
Wh-What's all this...
I listed charges against Eena Group and Yoo Mi Ho.
In 1995,
Yoo Mi Ho picked up a child named Choi Sang Eun from an orphanage.
The year the child disappeared from the orphanage.
The year Yoo Mi Ho and Jamie left abroad.
The year Eena Group received the funds.
It all happened in the same year.
You know what I'm talking about already, don't you?
Thirteen years ago, the project died because Jamie refused to cooperate.
Since then,
you've been in charge of managing Yoo Mi Ho.
But you're a family court judge. Why are you...
I'm thinking of handing this over to the prosecution.
You'll file a report?
A child lost her family...
and a corporation trapped her in a forced environment for business.
I see this...
as an unprecedented child abuse case.
Judge.
I'm sorry, Judge.
When the investigation starts, you should cooperate and receive an extenuation.
This is just my personal opinion at the moment.
It's not that...
Chief Yoo...
never abused her.
This isn't an inhumane case like that.
I'll tell you everything.
[Choi Chul Ki]
[Call]
Yes?
Yoo Mi Ho?
Yes, who's this?
This is Jung Ji Ho.
I'm an acquaintance of Choi Sang Eun.
So?
I'd like to see you briefly.
Where are you?
I'm on my way out.
What is this about?
I'll come to you. Let's talk in person.
Yes, Sang Eun.
Yes, Ji Ho.
Did you have lunch?
Yes, I did.
Is that it?
Pardon? What else should I...
In Korea, you're supposed to add "and you?" after saying, "Fine, thank you."
You should ask me too.
"Did you eat? Let's eat together next time."
Like that.
Well, it's tough for me to make time during lunch.
Let's eat together next time.
All right.
Do you have a lot of work today?
Well, Sang Eun. I have to get back to work.
Yes, well...
Ji Ho, you didn't get a strange phone call, did you?
No, I didn't.
I'll hang up now, then.
Ji Ho?
