Who is it this early in the morning?

I'm meeting a client,
so I'll be an hour late today.

Okay, noted.

It's chilly today, so make sure
to bundle up.

Did I go too far?

You should bundle up too.

He emphasized that
I should bundle up today,

so that is what I'll do.

Gosh, pink is always right.

It's so pretty.

The doors are closing.

Wait a second! Gosh, thank you.

Oh, it's you, Mr. Kwon.

The doors are closing.

Like always, I meet you in the elevator

even though I'm coming in
an hour late after meeting a client.

Anyone who hears you might assume

that I wait for you at the elevator
every morning.

I'm coming in late
because of a meeting too.

- By the way, I have good news.
- I don't want to know.

I've never been delighted
by your so-called good news before.

It's for real this time.

I have two incredibly exciting news.

Which would you like to hear first?

One's only slightly good
while the other is a true delight.

Okay, men should play on a large scale,

so I'll start with the big news.

Always Law Firm

might take on a big case.

I'm 99 percent certain.
Once we take it on,

we'll be at the center of attention.

What's the case?

That's a secret.

I'll move onto the small news now.

The firm's going out to dinner today.

Mr. Kwon! Why aren't you answering me?

We're all going out for dinner.

I will not be attending.

You never do.

Why can't you enjoy the fun
when it's brought to your lap?

Sorry for being late.

Good morning.

What's all this?

Aren't they so pretty?

Spring is right around the corner,

so I decorated my desk
in the shade of pink.

It may be spring soon, but I don't think

pink is an appropriate color
for a law firm office.

Are you saying that this isn't allowed?

Are you aware that you're in violation

of one's right to pursue happiness
and the right to free will?

How did you know that?

You said so at the drive-in theater.

I have a good memory,
so I recall everything.

All right then. Do as you wish.

What's all this?

I thought it was rude
to only revamp my desk.

Still, I prefer black to pink.

Even though you're fond of black,

a splash of pink here and there.
will elevate your mood.

My right to pursue happiness and the right
to free will should be assured too.

All right. I'll get rid of them.

A strawberry?

Wait.

- Take these too.
- Keep those at least.

When I'm not in my seat,
you can write notes for me

and stick them on my desk.
That way, we won't forget.

Bye, then.

Bye, then.

What?

Yes.

I'll send the content certification
right away.

Sure.

PLEASE PUT TOGETHER
THE CONTENT CERTIFICATION FOR MS. JEONG

Please put together
the content certification for Ms. Jeong.

SURE

Come in.

Sure thing.

She could've just said it.

PLEASE APPLY FOR THE HEARING TO BE MOVED

Please apply for Mr. Park's hearing
to be moved to next Tuesday.

IT'S BEEN MOVED TO 3 P.M. ON FEBRUARY 26

It's been moved to 3 p.m. on February 26.

Apply for commission of documents
regarding Mr. Baek's case

at the Cheongju District
Prosecutor's Office.

It's done.

Check Mr. Han's deadline
for an appeal and notify him.

The deadline is the 27th,
and he will appeal.

Good job. I'm sorry
I gave you too many tasks.

It's all right. Please let me know
if there's anything else I can do.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW
IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO

ATTORNEY KWON JUNG-ROK

Hi, is this Thunder Express?

This is Dan Mun-hui of Always Law Firm.

That's right.

I need to deliver a parcel.

Sure, I'll be waiting.

I wonder what he thinks of me.

Does he like me?

Does he not?

Does he like me or does he not?
Likes me or not?

- He--
- He likes you!

I'm sure that he likes you too.

I've seen people tell fortunes
with petals before,

but not with tangerines.

It's a first for me too.

I just don't know what he thinks of me.

What is he like?

Is it still just a one-sided love?

I'm not sure.

I do think that he's interested in me too.

Would you like to hear me out?

Sure, I'm curious to know.

He works at the delivery service
our law firm often calls.

His tone changes when only addressing me.

He keeps his voice low with others,

but takes on a higher tone with me.

He must be thrilled to see me, right?

That's not all though.
The company gives out a key ring

after five deliveries,

but even though I only called
the service four times,

I was given this key ring for free.

We all wish to go all out
for the ones we love.

It's pretty.

He must truly be into you.

Really?

You must have
a lot of relationship experience,

so your words seem trustworthy.

I actually haven't dated much.

Oh, right. I read it in an interview.

You've never had a boyfriend before.

Well, I may not be experienced
with romantic relationships,

but I give out great advice.

Don't you remember?
I hosted that TV dating show.

From what I can tell,

this is for sure.

My gosh! Nice!

- It's a secret though.
- Sure.

My gosh. She must really like him.

Do tangerines actually work though?

Maybe I should try it too.

He likes me.

He likes me not.

He likes me,

he likes me not...

HE LIKES ME, HE LIKES ME NOT,
HE LIKES ME, HE LIKES ME NOT...

He likes me!

Ms. Oh, it's time to go to the trial.

Okay. I'm on my way.

After questioning the witness,
the defendant's alibi

and the fact that he was not at the scene
has been proved clearly.

Therefore, I request you

to sentence him as not guilty.

Mr. Kwon, it seems like
we'll win the trial, right?

Yes, maybe we will.

Come on, stop being so modest.

From the smile on your face,
it seems like you're confident.

You get so happy whenever you win.
You're a natural-born attorney.

By the way,
why did you become an attorney?

I heard that your friends from college
all became prosecutors.

Attorneys make more money.

What? He became an attorney
because of money?

He's honest as well.

The more I get to know him,
the more charming he seems.

It's almost time for lunch.
Why don't we go and eat something?

Sure.

Wait. Oh, right.

What if she wants to drink coffee again?

No. Since it's lunchtime,
she might want to have lunch together.

Aren't you coming?

I'm coming. Let's go.

Jung-rok.

- A UFO!
- What?

It went that way!

Hurry up. Come on, let's go already.

- Hurry up! Come on!
- Jung-rok.

Hey.

- Were you here for a trial?
- Yes.

I see you often lately.

So? Don't you like it?

You came too, Ms. Oh.

Yes, I did.

If you have time, how about lunch?
Does pasta sound good?

Pasta?

Actually, I have something to tell you.

- Is it important?
- Yes. It's extremely important.

It's also kind of a secret.

I'm sorry, but can you go back
to the office first?

What?

"Go back to the office first"?

He promised to eat with me first
and just broke it.

Do you know how much I like...

pasta?

So, what is this important
and secret thing about?

- Do you know the Im Yun-hui Case?
- Yes.

I'm in charge of that case.

She was assaulted by her husband for years

and while she was being beaten,
she killed her husband with a knife.

Is this murder or self-defense?

What do you think?

But once self-defense is
accepted at a trial,

it becomes a difficult matter
for the prosecutor in charge,

and all the other suspects
will start to claim self-defense.

The attorneys will mention previous cases
and claim self-defense too.

It's a sensitive matter for us.

It's hard to make a clear decision
for situations like this.

I know.

I didn't expect you to give me an answer.

At first, I said I'd take
this case confidently,

but now, I'm not so sure.

Do you want to go for some coffee?

No, I have to go back now.

Why? Don't you still have some time left?

I have work to do. I'll see you next time.

What's keeping him so busy?

- Why are you standing there?
- I'm taking these away.

You're not qualified to have these notes.

Do I need to be qualified to have notes?

Why? Didn't you say
you didn't want them before?

Are you having second thoughts?

No, but I'm just wondering
why you'd take them back.

I can do whatever I want.

If you're offended, you can sue me.

There's no need for that.

We still have 20 minutes left.
Let's go out and have lunch.

I don't want to eat anything!

Why do you keep glaring at me like that?

I'm not. I often hear
that I have blazing eyes.

An actress must have eyes
that can mesmerize the camera.

- Okay. Have a good day.
- Excuse me.

Yes? Is there something you want to say?

This may sound random, but do you
want to have dinner with me someday?

- Sorry?
- How about tomorrow?

Do you want to go and eat
something tasty tomorrow?

I don't think I'll be hungry tomorrow.

Then let's watch a movie.
Do you like romance?

How about Love in Titicaca?

- I saw it yesterday.
- It opens in theaters tomorrow.

I see.

Well, I'll just be
straightforward with you.

I like you too, Chan-seong.

"Too"?

So I want to watch a movie with you

and have dinner and get to know you more.

I'm sorry, but this is too sudden.

Can you give me some time
to think it over?

Of course I can.

- For how long?
- About ten years?

Have a good day.

I'll meet with a client
and go straight home.

Okay.

Are you upset with me over something?

If it's because I didn't keep my promise

to have lunch with you?

No way, it's not because of that.

Then what is it?

Do I have to explain everything
to you in detail?

Don't you know the constitution
states the freedom to one's privacy?

Did I teach you that too?

No, I learned about that myself.

It's Article 17 of the Constitution.

That's not what's important right now.

Okay. I will respect your freedom
to your privacy.

But...

Let me ask you something.

Between Avatar that you saw in 2009

and The Strange Lawyer we saw last week,

which one did you like better?

What?

Which one was better,
and which remains more in your memory?

Avatar was interesting
because of the unique content,

and I enjoyed relating
to the characters in The Strange Lawyer.

Does that mean you liked both of them?

You can't give up both?

You're so mean, Mr. Kwon!

I'll see you on the day of the trial.

Okay. Contact me if there are
any other documents you need.

- Good day, sir.
- Okay.

Contact the witness who will come
to the hearing next week,

confirm whether he will come or not,
and send him the location.

What's with the short reply?

What is wrong with her?

Maybe I should've reserved someplace
with a private room.

Ms. Oh, is it okay to eat
at an open place like this?

No problem. I'll just sit
in a corner like this.

Isn't Mr. Kwon coming again tonight?

Did you ever see him coming
voluntarily to a team dinner?

Over there.
He has participated voluntarily.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

It's been a while since we all gathered.

Ms. Dan, why are you drinking
so hurriedly?

She was rejected again.

You know, that guy
from the Thunder Express.

Really?

Gosh, you fell for him
quick as a lightning bolt,

and got rejected even more quickly.

You must be so busy, Ms. Dan.

Since you get dumped regularly
once a week.

What did you say?

By the way, what happened?

This morning, you said
you weren't going to come.

What changed your mind?

Well...

Why are you looking at Ms. Oh?

Is she the reason why you're here?

Yes, I came to see Ms. Oh.

Gosh, that was so straightforward.

Do you guys have feelings for each other?

We don't have feelings for each other.
That's absurd.

- You're totally mistaken.
- Then...

why did he just make
such a suspicious comment?

There's nothing to be suspicious of.
I'm really just here to see Ms. Oh.

I wanted to ask her something.

What do you need to ask?

Lately, she's been working hard
and studying law in her spare time.

She was very enthusiastic.
But today, for some reason,

she was very insincere with her work
and kept being frustrated with me.

I figured she'd have a good reason,

so I came to resolve the misunderstanding.

Ms. Oh, can you tell me
why you're so angry at me?

You're asking me that
in front of everyone?

Yes, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion.

If a majority of people think
I'm the one at fault,

I'm willing to fix what I did wrong.

So don't feel pressured,
and tell me what's bothering you.

You said it wasn't because
I didn't eat lunch with you.

Then by any chance,
are you angry because I didn't let you

decorate my office in pink?

- Stop it.
- What's he saying?

Well, the thing is, I like pink.

Yes, I like pink.

And I decorated Mr. Kwon's office

with some pink ornaments,
but he didn't like them.

So I just...

But that's not why I'm angry.

Then are you angry because
I gave you a lot of work today?

Was it because I kept giving you
memos written with stuff to do?

You're so inhumane.

You should've gone up to her
and asked her politely face-to-face.

Even I'd feel upset if you just
wrote something on a memo pad

and threw it on my desk.

- Right?
- No.

That's not why I'm angry. It's not...

To be honest, I didn't really have
a reasonable reason.

I think I ended up reacting sensitively

because I was hungry.

Yes, that's right.

I'm sorry for causing a misunderstanding,

Mr. Kwon.

No, it's okay.

I'm glad we resolved our misunderstanding.

Gosh, it was nothing serious.

Now that you've reconciled,
you guys should clink glasses.

No, that's not necessary.

He must feel at ease now that
you guys resolved your misunderstanding.

Go on.

Goodness, this is nice.

Eat up.

Okay.

Mr. Kwon.

I'd like to have a word with you.

Sure.

I thought we were all good.

What more is there to talk about?

Why did you do that?

Why did you have to do that?

- What do you mean?
- It was our personal issue.

It should've stayed between the two of us.

Why did you have to blab
about it to everyone?

"Blab"?

As I told you earlier, I wanted to hear

everyone's opinion.
And if a majority of people...

Do you think this is a trial?

The act of checking who's right
and who's wrong in front of everyone

is no different from a trial.

I'm sorry if it offended you.

But we managed to resolve
our misunderstandings--

Do you really think
we resolved our misunderstandings?

Nothing's resolved between us.

Do you know why?

It's because there's another reason

why I'm angry at you.

What do you mean?

Why did you eat pasta without me?

Why didn't you take me with you?

I wanted to have pasta as well!

Are you saying you were upset all day

because I didn't take you with me
to eat pasta?

Let's eat pasta tomorrow.

- Pasta--
- Why did you do that?

Why did you have pasta with someone else?

I'm so annoyed.

It's so annoying.

Gosh, I'm so upset.

I wanted to eat pasta too.

Hey, you're home.

Hey.

By the way, Ju-won told me
that he saw you earlier.

I heard you ate pasta with Yeo-reum today.

- Is pasta the problem again?
- What do you mean "again"?

It's my first time mentioning it.

So what? What about pasta?

- What about it?
- I'm jealous.

What? You're jealous?

Of course.
I may have broken up with Yeo-reum,

but that doesn't mean I'm over her.

So it's very natural to get angry
at the fact that the girl I like

had pasta with someone else.

If someone gets angry at you
for eating pasta with someone else,

does that mean that person likes you?

What?

She likes me?

Hyeok-jun.

Should we go to the beach?

What are you talking about
all of a sudden?

You need to go to work.

Yes, I need to go to work.

Did you get drunk yesterday
and make a mistake again?

I wonder who invented alcohol.

I guess you did make a mistake.

I'm the one who's curious.
Who in the world

is responsible for making you
get in trouble all the time?

What did you do this time?

- I don't know.
- Just tell me what happened.

I need to know in order to help you
get out of whatever you did.

I don't know, okay?
I just want to be alone!

Here?

We're almost there.

Already? We're here already?

What am I going to do?

What am I going to say to him?

What am I going to do?

Hello.

Yes, good morning.

Ms. Oh.

- Yes?
- Please check if the sentencing

of yesterday's trial got delivered to us.

And please check if the court filed

the petition of appeal
for case number 2018G-327.

Okay.

Hey, Mr. Kwon.

Well...

About what I said to you yesterday...

Yes? Which part?

Well...

I asked you why you had pasta
with someone else

instead of eating it with me.

I only said that as a friend.

- A friend?
- Yes.

Women tend to be like that.

For example, when your best friend
at school leaves you out

and eats tteokbokki with another friend,

it makes you feel really left out
and upset.

It makes you feel
as if you lost your best friend.

And to be frank, the two of us

are like best friends at the firm.

- Best friends?
- Yes.

We're totally best friends.

We work so close to each other,
we eat together,

and we handle cases together.

I mean, how much closer can we get?

But I felt a bit upset

when it seemed as though

you were closer to someone else.

It's childish, isn't it?

Not only do I look young on the outside,

but I also have a very young mindset.

So please forget about
what happened yesterday.

- Okay?
- Yes, okay.

Mr. Kwon, Mr. Yeon wishes to see you.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

What on earth is wrong with me?

- So what do you want to say?
- Didn't I mention it yesterday?

I did, didn't I?

I said that we had some good news.

Our law firm will take
on a high-profile case.

Has it been decided then?

Well, you know...

Give this a read.

This too.

Isn't this the Im Yun-hui Case?

It's the hottest case right now.

Take the case
and have it declared self-defense.

- I can't.
- What? Why not?

You should be grateful
for such a big case,

not refuse it.

It's not that. I just don't have the time.

I'm currently working
on a total of 32 cases.

Still.

You can't pass up
on an opportunity like this.

If that's the case, take it yourself.

You're not exactly busy these days.

You won't be asked
on more TV shows anyway.

Please don't bring that up.

I'll be declining them anyway.

It traumatized me mentally.

I was only under the weather,
but I got some malicious comments online.

"Did he really pass the bar?"

"Did you see him tremble?
Maybe he's not really a lawyer."

I couldn't be more humiliated,

so don't mention TV shows to me
ever again.

Mr. Yeon, the--

Don't ever mention it again.

- The--
- Stop it!

The sitting cushion.

This isn't what you sit on.

It's a blanket.

Anyway, you're taking the case.

It must be because
you advocate public interest.

The women's organization
specifically wants you on the case.

FROM VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
TO MURDER SUSPECT

FORMER HUSBAND DIED
IN A FIRE FIVE YEARS AGO

Read these and find any articles
related to the case.

Sure.

I saw this on the news.

Are you the lead attorney on this?

Yes, so it seems.

That's great.

If someone as talented as you defend her,

her claims of self-defense will be proven.

Do you think this was self-defense?

Yes.

Her husband beat her badly,

so she reacted in the spur of the moment.

It's not simple though.

Also, there are preconditions needed
for this to have been self-defense.

Preconditions?

PROSECUTOR YOO YEO-REUM

Ms. Yoo, Ms. Im Yun-hui will be here soon.

All right. We're keeping it simple today.

She's here!

In order for it to have been self-defense,

an attack must've been made
against her or a third-party.

Also, that attack
must have happened in front of her.

Lastly, even if it were
to protect herself,

she shouldn't have used excessive force.

Simply speaking,
she can't have crossed the line

even if it were to save herself.

For instance,
let's say someone slapped you.

You can't retaliate with a weapon.

The force used wasn't reasonable,
so it isn't self-defense.

There were many cases like this before,

but the Supreme Court
ruled against self-defense.

The prosecution will use that
as precedence.

Then you can set a new precedent

by having it ruled as self-defense.

She could've intentionally
killed her husband.

Anyway, please search for more articles.

Sure.

Ms. Im.

I will now call you a suspect.

You have the right to remain silent

and refuse to answer any questions.

Choosing to keep silent
won't be used against you,

and you may have a lawyer present
at these interviews.

Do you understand these rights?

Will you have a lawyer present,

or shall we begin the questioning?

Why did you want to see me again?

Are you busy?

I was studying up on Ms. Im's case.

- Do you see any holes?
- I'm not sure.

I think I should meet her
and talk to her first.

Once a case becomes yours,
you always do your best.

Did you call me here to check on
whether I was doing my best?

Oh, please.

Why would that have been my intention?

Can you pick out a tie for me?

This makes me look sexy,

while this makes me look young and dandy.

Which is better?

What on earth are you doing?

I've been asked to be on a TV show.

I'm having an interview here at the firm.

Didn't you just tell me
that you were too traumatized

to be on TV anymore?

Confucius said

that our greatest glory
is not in never failing,

but in rising every time we fail.

I failed my first TV show
because of the nerves,

but I will rise despite that failure.

Even if I fail again, I will rise again.

I'll get going then.

I'm too exhausted and in need of caffeine.

I'll take mine strong.
Hold on. What about Ms. Oh?

What do we do?

The interview crew has a busy schedule

and doesn't know
when exactly it'll be here.

Being spotted by the crew
will only put her on the spot.

We can't ask her to spend
all day at a coffee shop though.

I guess it'll all work out, right?

I'm sure there's a place
for her to hide in this firm.

Mr. Sexy?

Mr. Fresh?

Is this better?

- Go with sexy.
- Mr. Sexy it is.

This is much better.

Would you like a cup of coffee too?

No, I'll get my own.

Ms. Oh Jin-sim,

I'm going to the detention center
to meet Ms. Im tomorrow.

Would you like to come too?

- Me too?
- Yes.

Only lawyers are allowed to talk to her,

but being there will help you
with your career in law.

Of course. It'll be better
than never visiting it.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

We should drink our coffee.

The detention center?

Doesn't that mean
a decently long car ride?

Then, the two of us...

It'll be a fairly long ride,
so I had better be prepared.

I'm going there to work.

What should I wear tomorrow?

Hold on. A bad outfit
will lower my spirits.

I won't be able to focus on work properly.

I won't be able to focus on work

if my skin is too dry either.

I must be such a workaholic.

Good morning, Mr. Kwon.

That necktie

looks good on you.

Your necklace is pretty too.

It's cold, so let's get in.

It feels nice to be out on a drive.

It's not a drive. We're going
to a detention center for work.

We're in the car, so it's a drive.

Yes, this is Kwon Jung-rok.

Yes, I understand.

That was a call from the detention center.

Visiting hours has been
postponed for two hours.

Really?

It's almost time for lunch,
so let's drop by somewhere and eat.

Actually, I...

made some lunch boxes.

Lunch boxes?

It's a waste of time
looking for restaurants anyway.

We can save time and focus more on work.

It's also my dream
to eat a lunch box outside

while enjoying a beautiful view.

Well, since we have a lot of time,
let's go then.

I have it.

Shall we just go inside and eat?

I'll just eat here.

Why? It's so cold out here.

You said it's your dream.

Your cooking is better than I thought.

How bad did you think I was?

I once shot a drama
as a chef of Korean food.

I learned from an expert back then

and I can make Korean food
like this even with my eyes closed.

As an actress, you must experience
living as various types of people.

It sounds very interesting.

Back then, I was really happy.

When do you feel that you're happy?

When I get my paycheck?

Goodness. You said you became
an attorney because of the money.

You really love money, don't you?

It's too cold. Let's go inside.

If you catch a cold or something,
it's my loss.

What?

Why is it your loss?

What?

You're the star of our law firm.

If you catch a cold from this picnic
and don't come to work,

can you imagine how sorry I would feel?

I'm saying, it's an extremely
huge loss for our law firm.

- Can you hand me that?
- Okay.

If you're cold, there are always
pockets to keep you warm.

Really?

- Thank you.
- No, wait.

I meant, put your hands
inside your pockets.

I'm sorry.

Where are my pockets again?

Se-won, isn't it uncomfortable
staying at your friend's home?

It is. He's a total cranky guy.

It must be uncomfortable staying
with him over the weekend.

How about watching a movie with me?

That sounds more uncomfortable.

It's Ms. Yoo.

Ms. Yoo must be pretty frustrated lately

because of the Im Yun-hui Case.

Why? Is something not going well?

I heard Mr. Im really wanted
to take on the Im Yun-hui Case,

but it went to Ms. Yoo.

I heard Mr. Im has a huge grudge
and is giving her a hard time.

Is she the rookie who is working
with Se-won now?

Why do they look so close?
Are they dating?

I heard her dad is a high-ranking official
at the Blue House.

The son of a hospital owner
and a daughter of a Blue House official.

They sound like the perfect match.

Don't you think?

I guess.

Don't Se-won and that rookie
look good together?

They're both from rich families.

It's better than

the son of a hospital owner
and a daughter of a suspect for fraud.

That's just absurd.

Come to think of it,
you're truly something.

Your dad was suspected
of committing fraud,

but your ex-boyfriend didn't indict him

and ended up being kicked out
to the countryside.

But how could you be so brazen about this?

If I were you, I won't last a second here.

What's your point?

We all have our own place in this world.

No matter how hard you try,

you won't become more than
an ordinary prosecutor.

I know you're trying so desperately
because you know that too.

You want to do whatever it takes
to be successful.

- That's enough.
- Do you think

the chief prosecutor gave you
the Im Yun-hui Case

because you're competent?

It's because you're a woman

and he knows there's a way he can use you.

If you understand, stop acting up so much.

Do you want to wait in the car?

No. I'll take a look around too.

As I told you, you can't come
with me to the meeting room.

I told you, I already know that.

Are people detained in here
all waiting for trials like Im Yun-hui?

That's not always the case.
Some have already been sentenced,

and some are in the process of
a trial or waiting for it.

Oh, my. It's two o'clock.
You should get going.

It's cold.
You should just wait in the car.

Why? Are you worried?

Yes. I'm worried.

If you catch a cold,
it's a loss for me as well.

What? Why?

If you catch a cold,
there will be a delay in work,

and I'll eventually have
more work on my shoulders.

And if you happen to pass on
your cold to me--

Gosh. Seriously, you're so mean.

Satisfied?

It's very cold outside.

Stop being stubborn. Take a quick
look around, and wait in the car.

What was that?

Was he just worried about me?

What was that? What?

Ms. Im.

Can you tell me

what happened that day in detail?

I know it's hard
to bring back that memory,

but you must tell me
everything that happened

that day without leaving anything out.

Do you admit to the charges

of you murdering your husband?

Do you have regrets

for what you did?

I'm very well aware that you've been
a victim of domestic violence

for so many years.

However, that alone is not enough

to justify your murder.

Then...

what do you think I should've done?

Should I have died instead?

PROSECUTOR: YOON YEO-REUM

IM YUN-HUI, MURDER

I really think she was only
trying to defend herself.

What do you think?
It was an act of self-defense, right?

I don't think I should jump
to conclusions yet.

I guess you feel more confused
now that you've met her in person.

Then how about this?

While you drive,
I'll read this more meticulously.

If I read it thoroughly enough,
I might find a breakthrough.

Trust me.

Okay.

I thought she was going to find
a breakthrough.

My goodness.

I just wanted to think for a little while,

but I guess I ended up dozing off.

You should've woken me up
when we got here.

I felt sorry to wake you up
because you were so sound asleep.

- Did you wait a long time?
- No.

Did I make any mistakes
while I was asleep?

I'm not really sure
if I can call this a mistake.

But you did snore a lot.

I snored? Me?

Goodness, there's no way. I don't snore.

I was joking.

Why would you make a joke
looking so serious?

But is snoring that big of a deal?

Of course.

I only want you to think I'm pretty and...

You want me to think that?

Yes, because...

It's because you're so strict.

I feel like you'll criticize me
if I loosen up too much.

I'll be off now.

Go home safely.

I must've been crazy.
Why would I say something like that?

Hey, Mr. Lee. Yes.

I urgently need you
to look into something for me.

Im Yun-hui lived with her dad
ever since her mom,

ran away from home
because her dad was very abusive.

But her dad disappeared ten years ago
and has been MIA ever since.

It's been ten years
since her dad disappeared?

Then he must already
be registered as dead.

Yes.

Her mom ran away from home.

Her dad disappeared
and is assumed to be dead.

Her ex-husband died in a fire.

And the husband she remarried...

What a terrible life.

Yes.

After she graduated high school,
she made a living

by working as a cashier,
a saleswoman at a mall, and so on.

She also worked in insurance.

Did you just say "insurance"?

Do you think she'll be
able to get acquitted?

I'm not sure. The main issue will be
whether the murder was accidental

or planned with a means
to get insurance money.

Ms. Im used to work in insurance,
so they'll be suspicious of that.

But about Ms. Im...

The report said her ex-husband had
a record of having committed violence.

So why do you think
she ended up remarrying a guy

who was also very violent?

One would think she'd avoid men like that.

I once appeared on a drama
as a psychotherapist.

And there was a woman who habitually

forgave her violent husband
every time he begged and apologized.

I heard that's also
a psychological problem.

I already requested a doctor to conduct
a psychiatric evaluation on her.

YOO YEO-REUM

I'm quite taken aback.

You already know
how important this case is to me.

Do you really have to stand
on the opposite side?

It's against the ethics
of an attorney to turn down

a client's request.

If I start being picky
about every single case,

I won't be able to defend anyone.

Yes, I know that.
But there's something you should know.

The court has never acknowledged
any form of murder

as self-defense.

That's not important.

I'm going to do my best
to reveal what really happened.

I'll make sure she only gets punished
for what she deserves.

And if she's innocent,
I'm going to make sure she gets acquitted.

That's my job.

She'll never be able to get acquitted.

Because that's my job.

- The prosecution is wrong!
- Today is Im Yun-hui's first trial.

It is known that she accidentally
ended up murdering him

while she was trying to stop
her husband's assault.

However, the prosecution indicted her

for murder instead of
involuntary manslaughter.

The defendant, Im Yun-hui,

was legally married to the victim,
Kim Yeong-tae.

And on January 21, 2019,
while she was getting assaulted

by the victim in her house,

she used a kitchen knife
to threaten Kim Yeong-tae

and murdered him by stabbing him
in the stomach and chest.

The late victim habitually
committed domestic violence,

so this might seem
as an act of self-defense,

assuming that the victim could
no longer put up with the assault.

However, if you take a look
at the autopsy result,

you'll be able to realize
that this was a planned murder.

How much of a possibility is there for her

to coincidentally stab her husband
right in the vital spot?

This is why the prosecution wishes
to indict the defendant for murder.

Attorney, please state your opinion
regarding the charges.

According to the paramedic
that was at the scene,

the defendant had broken two of her ribs

and was injured enough to be
hospitalized for nine weeks.

Even if she did intend on murdering him,

how much of a possibility is there
for a small woman like her

to stab him right in his vital spot
considering the fact that she was

also severely injured?

Thus, I request that the defendant
gets acquitted by claiming

that it was an act of self-defense.

The only will that existed
at the crime scene

was the defendant's will to survive.

She had no other will or intention
behind what happened.

From what I heard, your mother ran
away from home when you were ten.

May I ask you why?

She was getting beaten up by my drunk dad,

and she ended up
hitting her head on the floor.

She bled a lot,

and while my dad started looking
for something to hit my mom with,

she ran away.

She probably just wanted to stay alive.

After that incident,

I heard your dad started
beating you up as well.

Is that correct?

Yes. That's right.

Her father and her deceased husband

were both violent men.

Your father must've been
tough for you to endure,

so why meet and marry men
who were as violent as him?

Your Honor,

I bring a psychiatrist to the stand

to better explain my client's situation.

At a glance, it may be hard to understand.

However, we become
accustomed to situations

if we're in them long enough.

Could you explain that in detail?

Children who were abused at a young age

can't properly tell
that it's not acceptable.

Naturally, they end up
picking up the habit too.

Also, if children aren't
in same situations,

they experience anxiety and stress.

And so the vicious cycle continues.

Here is the assessment
you made of Ms. Im's mental state.

"The subject, from a young age,

was exposed to
a life of physical violence.

Therefore, it can't be said
that she is of sound mind."

That is what you wrote.

Is this right?

Yes, that's my assessment.

So in your professional opinion,

Ms. Im might have not been
in her right mind

at the time of this incident.

Am I safe to say that?

Yes.

That is all, Your Honor.

Prosecution, will you redirect?

Yes, Your Honor.

Ms. Im,

these are the bills of your first
husband's life insurance policy

as well as the one of your father's
who disappeared ten years ago.

Did you apply for them yourself?

Yes, that's right.

Your deceased husband, Kim Yeong-tae,

also had a life insurance policy.

You knew that, right?

- Yes.
- Do you know for how much?

I don't.

Kim Yeong-tae has a life insurance policy

of 4.94 billion won.

It's a large amount of money
for you to not have known.

That is all.

You're arguing insanity?

I get it. Even though
she's charged with murder,

she could get a reduced sentence
with an insanity plea.

That's a win for an attorney, isn't it?

Don't say that.

Both self-defense and an insanity plea

are written in the book of criminal law.

I won't let you win with an insanity plea,

so don't even bother trying.

This isn't a case that you can win.

Why are you obsessed with this case?

Because this is the only way.

You were born with a silver spoon
in your mouth,

so you'll never understand it.

- You're back.
- Welcome back.

Hello, everyone.

Ms. Oh, where's Mr. Kwon?

He stayed to talk to
the prosecutor in charge of the case.

I was asked to head back alone.

How did the trial go?
Articles have been exploding online.

You don't look so happy.
Did it go badly for our side?

Yes, although

we were doing all right when Mr. Kwon

argued the insanity defense.

However, the life insurance policy
of the deceased husband

swayed a lot of the votes.

Just how much would she receive?

She'd get 4.94 billion won.

The sum is 4.94 billion won?

- No wonder everyone stirred.
- Tell me about it.

Even I'm wondering
if she did it for the money.

Poor Mr. Kwon.

The news is all over this case.

Losing it will put a big dent
in his career.

Don't say that
when the verdict is still out.

Mr. Kwon.

I'm back.

Excuse me, Mr. Kwon.

Don't take
what the others said too seriously.

I don't.

Anyone would think so
after today's outcome.

Right.

Still,

I think that you'll win this case.

To be honest, I thought that

people who are stiff and logical

were the type to become lawyers.

I now think
it's more for the warm-hearted.

For someone like you.

Despite what many think,
you have a warm heart

and you're very thoughtful.

There was a time when I felt like

I was alone in this world.

I had no one taking my side back then.

Life seemed impossible.

Back then,

if I had someone like you in my life,

it would've been better.

That's what I've been thinking.

That's how great of a lawyer you are,

so I trust that you'll find
a solution for this case.

Look at the time.

Why are you still here?

I was looking up precedents
regarding self-defense.

I wanted to be of help somehow.

Would you like to have dinner with me?

Sure. I was actually starving.

Then let's head out.

You know,

I became a lawyer

because I wanted to take people's sides
instead of punishing them.

Then why did you say before

that it was to earn a lot of money?

I felt too embarrassed
to tell you the truth back then.

Then why are you being honest with me now?

Because...

what you said made me want to be honest.

Thank you for saying
that you believe in me.

Also, if there comes a time

when you feel like
you're alone in this world

and that there's no one
to take your side again,

I'll be there for you.

Mr. Kwon.

There's something I want to say to you.

But...

I won't say it right now.

However,

I will someday tell you

the exact emotions

that I'm feeling right at this moment.

Ms. Oh Jin-sim.

By any chance...

do you like...

What?

The contemporary working woman.

I look like a workaholic,
and it's really sexy.

Don't you think you're making
my Yoon-seo work too hard?

"My Yoon-seo"?

- Stop it.
- It's because I care.

He cares?

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Don't you remember
I was accused of overworking you?

By your boyfriend.

You've never dated anyone, have you?

You don't seem too bright
when it comes to women.

Someone told me that
I'm going to win no matter what.

So believe in me and wait until I win.

The case is going to take a new turn.

He could be the only witness of this case.

Also, he could also be another suspect.
