Now, lastly, the bride and groom
will bow to the guests.

Now, this will be the first time
the two will be taking their steps

into the world as a married couple.

All the guests, please rise

and give a big round of applause
to congratulate the bride and groom.

Bride and groom, march!

What?

What is that?

My goodness.

Dear Lord.

Jeez, that scared me.

CASE 2
THE WEDDING DRESS THAT SLIPPED OFF

WOO YOUNG-WOO GIMBAP

That's pretty.

Did you change the ham in the gimbap?

What?

Yes. Why?

It doesn't taste good.

Is that right? Just eat it.

You're grown enough
to make food for your dad.

But instead, you're complaining?

Gosh.

When are you going to
grow up and get married?

Don't you want to wear
a wedding dress like that, Young-woo?

Do you want to wear
a wedding dress like that, Dad?

No.

It's not that I want to wear it.

It's a typical father's dream

to walk his daughter down the aisle.

To humans, weddings are a ritual
through which mating

and independence from the parents
are accomplished at once, but for whales…

What's this now?

You stopped the whale talk
all by yourself?

Do you want to hear more?

No, well…

it's out of character.

From now on, I won't talk about whales
to people who don't want to listen.

Because I have someone
who offers to listen now.

Really?

Who is it?

I'm late.

All right.

Here.

See you later.

-See you later.
-Okay.

Gosh.

Nice to meet you. I'm Han Seon-young.

I'm Jung Myeong-seok.

I'm Kim Jeong-gu.

We're all busy people,
so let's get straight to the point.

Yes.

My youngest daughter was born
when I was at the late age of 47.

She recently got married

to the son of Daehyeon Construction's CEO
at Daehyeon Hotel.

Congratulations.

Nonsense!

Gosh, those bastards at Daehyeon Hotel.

There was an incident at the wedding.

The chairman's daughter
was wearing a strapless wedding dress,

but when the bride and groom
were walking down the aisle,

the dress slipped down.

How low?

Down to here.

The undergarment didn't slip, right?

Do you have any idea
how much this wedding costs?

The hotel said they would
take care of everything,

so I asked for the best
and it cost me 230 million won.

Do you know how many guests we had?

A thousand very important people.

I spent 230 million won

just to be humiliated
in front of a thousand people!

That must've been really hard.

So how much should I get
from those Daehyeon Hotel bastards?

For the damages?

We'll have to look into it more
for the exact amount, but…

250-300 MILLION WON

-Approximately--
-Wait.

If the number you're thinking about
is less than a billion won,

don't even say it.

A billion?

Have you spoken
with Daehyeon Hotel by any chance?

Daehyeon Hotel offered
a full refund for the wedding.

And they also mentioned
gifting the bride and groom

a voucher to Daehyeon Hotel
worth ten million won.

Okay, so if we convert that to cash,
they've offered 240 million won.

That's not bad.

What? Not bad?

I was humiliated!

Relatives, friends, and clients.

I brought them all together just to
show them my daughter's naked body!

I can't show my face anywhere
because I'm humiliated!

And you're saying 240 million isn't bad?

Are you saying my pride
is only worth that much?

No, that's not it.

What you just said
legally falls under compensation.

Instead of paying for damages of assets,
it's for psychological distress.

But according to actual precedents,
it's not easy to get approved

for compensation.

Even if it's approved,
the amount is usually not that great.

Daehyeon Hotel offered
to refund all expenses of the wedding

and an accommodation voucher
that acts as compensation.

In all honesty,
their offer is quite reasonable.

But since you want another wedding,

I think we could argue for their full
coverage of the new wedding as well.

Hanbada is no different
from Taesan after all.

-Pardon?
-The land I own

is 6,000 pyeong in Garak-dong alone.

Which means I go through
a lot of lawsuits.

I gave it all to Taesan this whole time.

They're the number one
law firm in Korea, right?

But when something big happens,
these bastards just duck out.

They say the same thing as well!

"The compensation is usually not great."
This nonsense!

I came here

because I couldn't stand listening to that
anymore when I made Taesan a lot of money.

I thought Hanbada might be different.

Hanbada is different.

What's different?

"It's not easy. It can't be done."
You're saying the exact same thing!

What is the exact amount you want, sir?

The price of having been made a fool of.

Shouldn't I get at least a billion won?

We'll make it happen.

We'll show you that Hanbada can do
what Taesan couldn't.

I'm counting on you.

Make sure you pay them
a generous commission fee!

Goodness.

DAMAGES

What are the types of damages?

According to the theory
of three divisions of damages,

there are active damages, passive damages,

-and--
-Compensation.

Active damages are when
there is a loss in assets owned.

Passive damages are when someone is unable
to obtain an asset they could've gained.

-And compensation--
-Compensation

is reparation for psychological distress.

Attorney Jung, you've been
an attorney for a long time,

but how do you still not know
the types of damages?

I didn't ask because I don't know.

I asked to teach.

Right.

Is that so?

Yes, it is so.

So according to the theory
of three divisions of damages,

the 230 million won already paid
for the wedding is active damages.

The 230 million won required

for another wedding with the same
conditions are passive damages

since they wouldn't have had to pay it
if it weren't for the incident.

Actually, this doesn't really make sense
because it's double compensation.

But our client…

wants a billion won.

Ultimately, we have to demand compensation
of a minimum of 500 million won.

But according to the method of calculation
of compensation by the supreme court,

the most someone can receive even when
they die of a car accident is 100 million.

But this case is defamation at best.

And it falls under normal damages,
not serious damages.

Then the most
we could go for is 50 million.

That's correct.

But in life,

you'll come across clients like this
who make such ridiculous demands.

Since we're in charge
of the case, let's find a way.

Daehyeon Hotel integrated
all wedding-related work

when they created a wedding business team.

It's a relief since renting the venue and
wedding dress are usually done separately

which makes it difficult
to ask for responsibility.

But in this case, everything
was done by Daehyeon Hotel.

Most importantly,
is this really Daehyeon Hotel's fault?

Whether intentional or accidental,

we have to find the attributable reason
to show the hotel is to blame.

Without it, this entire claim
for damages will be meaningless.

Attorney Kwon and Attorney Choi, have you
ever done an undercover investigation?

-What?
-No.

The hotel will never give up information
on what kind of mistakes were made

during the process of preparing the dress.

We have to find out on our own.

You two go to Daehyeon Hotel

and try on a wedding dress,
pretending to be the bride and groom.

Okay.

And Attorney Woo,
go meet the couple with Jun-ho.

Okay.

Is it okay if I go to Daehyeon Hotel

with Jun-ho, not Attorney Kwon?

Why?

You don't think Attorney Kwon
is husband material?

No.

What? Gosh.

I don't like Attorney Choi either.

I'll meet with the bride
and groom with Attorney Woo.

-You're okay with that, right?
-I also prefer to be alone with Jun-ho,

but I'll yield.

What do you mean
you prefer to be alone with Jun-ho?

Are you guys close?

Well…

If the definition of "being close"

is "having a specific topic
to discuss when alone,"

then yes, we're close.

She won't come out of her room
ever since the wedding.

The attorneys are here.

Right.

I'm Kwon Min-woo from Lawfirm Hanbada,
the attorney assigned to your case.

Here.

What are you doing? Say hi.

Right. Hello.

You need to introduce yourself.

Right.

My name is…

Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

What?

I'm sorry. She's new to the firm.

-Yes.
-Right, sure.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

You must be very upset.

Well…

Yes.

Have you been staying
with your parents since the wedding?

What about your husband?

It's become a bit awkward
between us since the incident.

Our place is empty.
He's also staying with his parents.

Do you plan on having another wedding?

I'm not sure.

You should ask my dad.

-Your dad?
-Both families have different opinions.

This marriage is complicated.

Jin-uk's grandfather used to adore me.

He's a church elder
and conducts the choir.

And I play the piano accompaniment.

He's the one who introduced me to Jin-uk,
and we ended up getting married.

But I heard he was very disappointed in me
because of what happened at the wedding.

Apparently, he mentioned
breaking off the marriage.

Disappointed in you because of
what happened at the wedding?

Why?

I have a tattoo of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I see.

Guanyin Bodhisattva.

So when did you find out
there was an issue with the dress?

The morning of the wedding.

It was tight during the dress fitting.

-But that morning, it felt a bit loose.
-This feels like it's gotten very loose.

Did you tell the Daehyeon Hotel
employees about it?

Yes, I did.

-To the girl who helped me get dressed.
-That can't be.

But she just said it's probably
because I lost weight

and put more pins
on the inside of the dress.

Did you lose weight
at the time of the wedding?

No.

Is there anyone around you
who can testify about the situation?

Like a friend who overheard
you worrying about the dress being loose.

No, none. My acquaintances
didn't come to the wedding.

But it was your wedding.

My dad took care of the guest list.

So it was his guests.

Right.

Do you have any questions, Attorney Woo?

I do.

Ms. Kim Hwa-yeong.

Do you love your husband?

Pardon?

I'm sorry.

You call that a question?

Yes.

There are a lot of pictures in this room.

Lots of self-portraits of Ms. Hwa-yeong
and pictures with her friends and family.

But there isn't
a single picture of your husband.

Right.

They must all be back at our place.

There's one right there.

And your wedding ring is on your vanity.

Not your finger.

Ms. Kim Hwa-yeong.

Do you love your husband?

My father-in-law sure is odd.

I don't even want to think about that day
and I don't get why he's even suing them.

And Daehyeon Hotel at that.

It's as if he's trying to start a fight
between the two families.

Do you not want the lawsuit to happen?

It makes me mad
when I think about what happened.

How could this be a wedding service
prepared by a five-star hotel?

However,

Daehyeon Hotel and Daehyeon Construction
are affiliated with the Daehyeon Group.

So isn't it basically
a disgrace to our family?

Is it true that your family brought up
breaking off the marriage?

Is that what Hwa-yeong said?

Gosh.

My grandfather liked Hwa-yeong

and was very enthusiastic
about this marriage.

He introduced her to me

and even convinced my parents.

And then…

You know about Hwa-yeong's tattoo, right?

Yes, she told us about it.

She said she got it done as a joke
back when she was immature.

So I thought nothing of it.

I mean, it's hard to remove it
and it's not out in the open.

But my grandfather
went so far as to feel betrayed.

He's old and a devout Christian.

He said I can't get married
to someone like her

and told me to quit it since we haven't
even registered our marriage yet.

So are you going to?

I'm not sure.

We'll have to wait
and see how the adults feel about it.

Have you discussed breaking off
the marriage with Ms. Kim Hwa-yeong?

It's been a while
since we last saw each other.

She's gotten sensitive
and sees a psychiatrist.

We fight whenever we meet.

Psychiatrist?

Ms. Kim Hwa-yeong
gets psychiatric treatment?

She didn't say?

From what I know,

she's been seeing a doctor
since the incident.

There must be some kind of law
that says rich people can't mature.

No, there's no such law.

I see.

That was a joke.

Gosh.

How are they getting married
when they are still kids? Don't you agree?

Psychological independence
from parents is necessary for marriage.

They don't know how to
do anything for themselves.

Even at that age, they probably never even
prepared a meal by themselves.

Attorney Kwon.

Have you prepared a meal on your own?

Of course.

You haven't?

I guess not.

So what should we call each other?

I'm not sure.

Maybe…

I should just call you by your name.

Jun-ho?

Okay, then I'll call you by your name too.

I don't think we should
call each other by name.

We don't know what could happen.

You're right.

Then…

Sweetie?

ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

Yes, Attorney Woo.

Jun-ho, do you also think an adult
should prepare their own meals

and be independent of their parents?

Well…

I'm not sure, but it would be nice.

But killer whales stay
with their mothers their whole life.

According to human standards, they are
all mama's boys and mama's girls--

Hey, Young-woo. What are you doing?

Su-yeon?

I'm on the phone.

Is this what you were referring to
by having a specific topic with Jun-ho?

You can't do this during business hours.

You shouldn't keep
a busy person on the phone.

-Right.
-I'm fine.

I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment,
so I'll call you back later.

Okay.

ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

Does Young-woo do this often?

No.

Just sometimes.

ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

Yes, Attorney Woo.

Have you ever heard that we know
more about the dark side of the moon

than we do about the deep sea?

-What?
-Just seeing how no one's ever witnessed

a blue whale giving birth
is proof of that.

One might think it's not difficult
to see a blue whale that is the size

of a plane to give birth to a calf
as heavy as a hippopotamus.

But that's because the ocean
is so vast and deep

that it's keeping the whales' secrets.

Right.

I see.

Attorney Woo, I'm in the middle of…

Hello?

Attorney Woo?

-The feces of a blue whale is red.
-You scared me.

It's because krill,
their staple food, are red.

Right. I see.

The whale's feces acts as a kind of pump

that pulls nutrients from the deep parts
of the ocean up to the surface of the sea.

Whales feed in the deep ocean and come up
to excrete on the surface of the sea.

And the feces
become nutrients for phytoplankton.

Right. I see.

The right whale is a migratory animal.

But the 400 right whales
that live in California

stay in one place all year long.

They're fast enough
to go through California in six days,

but they don't move at all.

I see.

Attorney Woo, should we go through
the revolving doors? It's been a while.

No, I'm working overtime today.

What?

So,

you came all the way
down here to talk about whales?

Yes, goodbye.

How is that sometimes?

She's been following you around
this whole time.

It's fine.

The more I listen,
it's all useful information, and…

Who else would listen to
that talk if I don't?

It's nice if at least I do.

Are you going to listen to her forever?

What?

If not, you should be
the one to set boundaries.

That seems like
the right thing to do for her.

Are you okay?

What?

I'm okay.

Gosh, please.

-Goodness.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

No.

Not yet.

Attorney Woo.

How did you get here?

I took the subway.

I see.

I have to meet with Attorney Choi.

I can't say why I'm here.

Especially, not to you.

Okay, I think Attorney Choi
is in the restroom over there.

Okay.

Su-yeon, is that you?

Su-yeon, is that you?

Over here.

Did you bring it?

Give it to me.

What the…

Young-woo, are you kidding me?

There weren't any suit pants in my closet?

There were.

Then why did you bring this one?

You told me to bring anything.

That one looked the most comfortable,
and it didn't have a label.

Gosh, this can't be happening.

Do you want me to
bring you something else?

I'm out, anyway.

You have to…

get married.

We decided to call each other sweetie.

Calling him by his name is also fine,

but it could be dangerous to keep saying
our names in front of others.

The reason we're in a hurry to get married

is because I'm expecting.

So before I start showing,

wearing the most
beautiful dress in the world

and getting married
at Daehyeon Hotel is my…

No, it's your dream.

By "expecting,"

you don't mean "regarding something
as likely to happen," right?

No, I'm not.

-So then--
-We slept together, before marriage.

So Jun-ho's baby is here.

Take good care…

of Jun-ho.

How's Attorney Choi? Is she all right?

-She's out.
-What?

You have to marry me, Jun-ho.

I mean, Sweetie.

Then should we get going?

Our reservation is at three,
and we're really late.

Okay, Sweetie.

You said the wedding is next week?

Yes.

I'm glad that the reservation
was made even though it was last minute.

I know.

People usually have to wait around a year
to reserve our wedding venue.

You two were very lucky.

We're hurrying with the wedding
because we're expecting.

Excuse me?

And by "expecting,"
I'm not referring to the definition of

"regarding something as likely to happen."
Do you get it?

Of course, Sweetie.

I'm sure she knows what you mean.

All right.

What kind of style
do you want for the dress?

Let's take a look.

My goodness.

This one looks nice.

Right?

It's pretty, but…

To be honest,
this design is a little out of fashion.

There are a lot of things
to mind when putting it on too.

Well, my sweetie is too thin.

What if it slips off when she wears it?

That sometimes happens, doesn't it?

A wedding dress slipping off?

Gosh, that could never happen.

We do very thorough fittings.

I would like to try this dress on.

I guess she's determined to try this one.

You must like bold styles.

I guess that's probably why
we got pregnant.

That's why we got pregnant.

Okay, then.

Should we get you fitted in this one?

-Okay.
-The groom can wait here for a second.

Ji-hye.

Ji-hye!

Ji-hye's not back yet.

Where did she go?
It's still working hours.

What?

You sent her out on an errand earlier.

The bakery…

She said they have freshly baked bread
at four and sent me to get them.

Am I her errand girl or what?

That's what I'm saying!

If Ju-hui were here
she would've said something for me!

What? You didn't know?

Ju-hui was fired.

That incident…

That incident when the dress slipped off.

Whatever. Errand girl is off now.

I have to get it to her
while it's still fresh and hot.

Bye.

Jun-ho. It's me, Su-yeon.

I think an employee named Ju-hui
was fired because of the dress incident.

I overheard someone on the phone.

If she's an employee there,
she'll show up with bread.

Bread?

Excuse me.

Yes?

Hello.

I was wondering

if you know where Ju-hui is.

Ju-hui…

Bae Ju-hui?

Yes, I think it was maybe
three months ago?

I had a consultation with her,
and it seems like she's not here today.

She resigned.

What's this about?

It's a long story.

Could I get her contact information?

Well…

I'm sorry, I can't hand out
her private information.

I'm sorry.

-Well--
-We're ready.

Gosh, you look beautiful!

Your waist is so tiny!

Yes, Attorney Choi.

I looked into it, but I don't think

-it'll be easy.
-We're ready.

How do you feel?

It's extremely uncomfortable.

It feels like
it's only made out of labels.

Gosh, look at his face.

He's totally in love.

Did you fall in love?

COURT

The wedding dress slipped off
during the ceremony.

Just the thought of it is alarming.

But is it really this big of a deal?

It's an incident
that could've been laughed off.

But now, there are seven attorneys
from major law firms involved,

fighting about a billion won.

I'm concerned
this is a waste of judicial power.

The plaintiff, Ms. Kim, has been seeking
psychiatric help for over two months

because of this incident.

She's experiencing discord
with her husband,

and there are even talks
about breaking off the marriage.

The defendant, Daehyeon Hotel,
received a large sum of 230 million won

from the plaintiff
and organized the wedding.

And if the result
of it is a broken marriage,

the damages cannot be overlooked.

We believe it is not an incident
that can just be laughed off.

The incident
where the wedding dress slipped off

is due to the plaintiff's carelessness,
not Daehyeon Hotel's fault.

Therefore, the plaintiff's
psychiatric treatment and her marriage

being on the verge of breaking off
aren't the hotel's responsibility.

It's not going to be easy
to prove who is in the wrong.

Are you inclined to settle reasonably?

Daehyeon Hotel offered compensation
right after the wedding,

but the plaintiff refused.

If they want to go
so far as filing a lawsuit,

Daehyeon Hotel can't back down either.

Because our honor
as a five-star hotel is on the line here.

Through your fair judgment, Your Honor,

we hope to gain recognition that
this incident was not the hotel's fault.

If I had to name her illness,
it's post-traumatic stress disorder.

The incident at the wedding
has traumatized her,

continuing to distress her.

She's doing much better now,

but right after the wedding,
her insomnia, eating disorder,

and social phobia were quite severe.

Could PTSD be a reason
for her marriage breaking up?

You two are attorneys, so you should know.

As a doctor, I have a duty
to protect my patient's privacy.

I'm going to be honest with you.

We need a professional's opinion
that states her PTSD could be the cause

of their marriage being in crisis.

Could you testify in court?

It's for Ms. Kim's sake.

For Ms. Kim's sake…

Are you sure?

I don't think I can testify.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Whipped cream
contains about 30 percent fat.

-Really?
-Yes.

The milk of right whales and other whales
is much thicker than whipped cream

since it contains 30 to 50 percent fat.

A blue whale mother produces 200 kilograms
of this high-fat milk every day.

So then how much weight
would the whale calf gain

after drinking that for six months?

I don't know.

Seventeen tons.

Don't you have

anything else to say to me
besides whale talk?

No.

Right. You don't?

No, I don't.

From now on,

what if we set up a specific time
to talk about whales?

Instead of talking about whenever.

Right.

All right. What time do you prefer?

How about lunchtime? Is that okay?

We can talk while we eat together.

Okay.

So when it's not lunchtime…

We talk about anything other than whales.

"We talk about anything
other than whales."

Well…

What if we're in a situation
where whale talk is necessary?

Well…

Then we talk about whales.

Yes. "Then we talk about whales."

Hello, Ji-hye.

-Are you here to buy bread?
-What?

What are you doing here?

We would like to know
Bae Ju-hui's contact information.

It's not anything weird.

I'm sorry, I don't think
I should be giving it out like that.

An incident where the wedding dress
slipped off happened two months ago.

We would like to
talk to Bae Ju-hui about it.

What do you want to know?

What really happened.

Are you two here to investigate?

Did you know the bride, Kim Hwa-yeong,
is still receiving psychiatric treatment?

Her marriage is about to be
broken up due to the incident.

We'll proceed quietly
so no harm comes your way.

Please, help us.

Even if I give you her number,

reaching her won't be easy.

Ju-hui

left the country.

WITNESS

DEFENDANT

PLAINTIFF

Is the witness here?

She's traveling from far away,
so I think she's running a little late.

Could you please give us some more time?

Far away? Is she traveling from overseas?

How much longer do we have to wait?

We'll take note of the witness' absence
and set up another interrogation date.

Witness Kang Ji-hye has arrived.

Come up to the front.

I solemnly swear that
I will tell the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth,
and agree to receive punishment

in accordance with perjury
should there be any falsehood.

Plaintiff's counsel,
you may begin questioning the witness.

Yes, sir.

On the day of Ms. Kim's wedding,

what was your job?

As an employee of the wedding
business team at Daehyeon Hotel,

my role was to assist
the bride with the dress.

On the wedding day,

do you recall what Ms. Kim said
after putting the wedding dress on?

Yes.

This feels like it's gotten very loose.

What did you say in response?

That can't be.

You must've lost a lot of weight.

Why did you come to that conclusion?

Brides usually lose a lot of weight
before the wedding day.

It's partly because of dieting

but also because they just slim down a bit

from not drinking water all day
before the ceremony.

The tailor of the wedding business team
is very experienced and skilled.

so I didn't think the tailor
would've slacked on the fitting

for the dress to slip off
because of some weight loss.

Do you still believe that?

Witness?

Please respond. Do you still believe that?

No.

Why is that?

After the wedding was over,

I found out
there was a mix-up in the dress.

On the morning of the wedding,

the dress that was fitted
for Ms. Kim had been torn.

It was a mistake made by Bae Ju-hui,
a coworker who was with us back then.

-You don't deserve to cry!
-I'm sorry.

What are we going to do?

Since there was no time to fix it,

they took out another dress they had.

It was the same design
but slightly bigger.

So the employees

of the wedding business team
hid this fact from Ms. Kim?

The team director

told us after firing Bae Ju-hui

that she'll also fire us
if we don't keep quiet.

I came here today
knowing that I might have to quit.

I had no idea the bride
was having such a hard time.

I'm sorry

for not speaking up sooner.

That's all.

WITNESS

Plaintiff, are you having
a hard time since the wedding?

What?

-Yes.
-How so?

Objection.

The defendant's counsel is badgering
the plaintiff with vague questions.

Not so far as badgering, but sustained.

Ask specific questions.

Okay, I will ask specific questions.

Plaintiff.

Are you aware
of the online community called Wagle?

Wagle.co.kr.

-Yes.
-You wrote a few posts on Wagle

with the username, Sally Ride.

Is that correct?

Please respond. Is that correct?

Yes.

Title, "How I ruined my wedding."

This is a post you wrote on Wagle

on September 8,
which was a week after the wedding.

Could you please read aloud
the underlined part right here?

Should I read it?

"His family is talking about
breaking off the marriage."

"It's rather a good thing."

"If I hide behind my trauma
for a little longer,

I might not have to get married."

"I won't have to live a fake life
with a man I barely know."

This whole time the plaintiff argued that

she is receiving psychiatric treatment
and that this is the reason

for her marriage
being on the verge of ending.

And then she asked
for the large sum of a billion won

as compensation from Daehyeon Hotel.

Is this correct?

But in this post, you said,

"It's a good thing that they are talking
about breaking off the engagement."

And "If I hide behind
my trauma for a little longer,

I might not have to get married."

Of these two, which is the truth?

You said you have been
having a hard time since the wedding.

Why is that?

Your Honor.

I submit the plaintiff's posts
as evidence.

ANOTHER WEDDING
WITH A PERSON I DO NOT LOVE

BUT HOW LONG
CAN I KEEP RUNNING AWAY LIKE THIS?

If you don't speak,

we can't help you.

My dad…

was really happy about this marriage.

He was thrilled to become an in-law
of the Daehyeon Group family,

but then there were also gifts.

Gifts?

Jin-uk's grandfather
owns some land in Dogok-dong,

and he said he'll give it
to me once we're married.

As a wedding gift.

My dad was the one
who was more excited about that.

He had all these plans

as to how to put the land to use.

But…

I'm not so sure.

Is it right to be forced
into a marriage like this?

Jin-uk and I don't care about each other.

Does everyone else live like this too?

Most people don't get land
as a wedding gift.

And it's Dogok-dong--

Here.

Even with the lawsuit.
I think my dad is doing it out of spite.

Because he won't get to be
an in-law of a chaebol family,

he's trying to put them
through trouble before ending it.

It's not like I thought
I could get married with just love.

But it's my life.

I really don't know what I should do.

This is good!

It's good that it was a gift of land.

What?

Damages can be divided into three

according to the theory
of three divisions of damages,

but it can also be divided into two.

Are you aware?

Are you quizzing me
thinking I wouldn't know the answer?

Are you talking about general damages
and special damages?

Yes.

General damages are those recognized
to occur ordinarily,

and special damages are those occurring
due to special circumstances.

In this case, the cost of the wedding
falls under general damages.

But it's only 230 million,

making it difficult for the client
to ask for one billion won.

But then, it turns out Ms. Kim

had a special circumstance
that is the gift of land

or in other words, the donative
promise of land. How good is this?

Yes, that's right.

This marriage
isn't just an ordinary marriage

but a marriage with the donative promise
of land as a condition.

Hadn't the wedding dress slipped off,

Hong Jin-uk's grandfather, Hong Ju-myeong
wouldn't have seen Ms. Kim's tattoo

and thus, he would not
have been disappointed

and the donative promise of land
would've been fulfilled as expected.

If we argue the value of the property

that Ms. Kim wasn't able to receive
from Hong Ju-myeong

due to Daehyeon Hotel's mistake
as special damages,

we'll be able to seek
a much larger sum of damages.

Above all else, I'm glad we won't have to
hang onto compensation now.

Because whether or not her psychological
distress is from her marriage breaking off

has nothing to do
with this special damage.

Attorney Woo, why don't you go write up
a statement of opinion on this?

Since it's a suggestion
of changing the purpose of the claim,

we'll show it to the CEO and the Chairman
and discuss it together.

Yes, sir.

Oh, the statement of opinion…

So how much are you saying you'll get me?

Do you happen to know how much
the property that Mr. Hong Ju-myeong

-promised to bestow is worth?
-Of course.

I asked the appraiser
who helps me with my work.

How much was it exactly?

-It's 33.2 billion won.
-Right.

That means we can demand
compensation of 33.2 billion won.

Because Mr. Hong was aware Ms. Kim
would gain property worth 33.2 billion

should the marriage go through.

We can argue, "Give me the same amount

of the wedding gift worth 33.2 billion
because it's your fault I can't get it."

Of course,

this exact amount won't be recognized.

Legally it makes sense,
but realistically it doesn't.

The amount is too much
for the judge to make a ruling on.

If you were a judge, would you give a
verdict of damages worth 33.2 billion won

for the mistake of giving
the wrong wedding dress?

So what's going to happen?

If we demand that they compensate
for 33.2 billion won,

Daehyeon Hotel will contact us to settle.

Then, you settle for a reasonable sum.

Reasonable sum? How much would that be?

We're planning to start

at 3.32 billion won,
10 percent of 33.2 billion won.

What do you think?

This is the statement of opinion
that has everything we just said.

PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY
LAWFIRM HANBADA, ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

My goodness!

Look at that.

You said Hanbada is different.

And you really do amazing work.

I told you to get me a billion won
and you're going to bring me 3.32 billion.

Is my opinion not important?

It's my case.

I don't want it.

You keep quiet. The adults are talking.

What's so great
about my dress slipping off

and ruining my wedding to do all this?

Are you trying to get their money
because you're upset about the free land?

What difference does it make
if you get that money?

Please stop now, Dad!

Please proceed with this.

I'm counting on you.

Let's go.

Defendant, you were also there
when the two families met, right?

Yes.

Because while I'm the chairman
of Daehyeon Hotel,

I'm also Jin-uk's uncle.

I gladly treated them to a meal.

That day, Mr. Hong Ju-myeong
promised the plaintiff a wedding gift.

-Do you recall?
-Wedding gift?

I'm not sure.

Were there talks of a wedding gift?

Mr. Hong Ju-myeong promised
the plaintiff his property in Dogok-dong.

You heard this and complimented him
by saying, "You are too generous."

It wasn't a compliment.

I just spoke the truth.

It's not easy to give land
worth tens of billions of won,

no matter how much you like
your granddaughter-in-law.

So you were aware of the fact
that Mr. Hong Ju-myeong promised to

gift the plaintiff property that is worth
tens of billions of won, right?

Is this correct?

Well…

Yes.

Where are you going?

Your Honor.

The plaintiff had special circumstances

of a donative promise of land
as a condition of the marriage,

and the defendant knew about this.

Therefore, the plaintiff
asks for 33.2 billion won,

which is the appraised worth
of the property she would've gained

if it weren't
for the defendant's negligence

as compensation from the defendant.

Please allow the change of the purpose
and the cause of the claim.

Well…

I see no reason not to.

Submit the change application in writing.

Yes, sir.

Is there nothing else
that needs to be said today?

-Then…
-I do!

Plaintiff, do you have something to say?

I would like to withdraw the lawsuit.

Excuse me?

I'm withdrawing the lawsuit.

Wait.

How do I put a stop to this?

What do I have to do to drop the charges?

The word "charge"
is only used in criminal cases.

In this case, you should say
"to withdraw the lawsuit."

Okay, so how do I withdraw the lawsuit?

Withdrawal is still considered a win,
so the commission fee is very high.

Are you okay with that?

Yes, of course.
I'm not worried about the money.

There are two ways. Which one--

The simple one.

Say, "I would like to
withdraw the lawsuit"

to the judge during the trial.

That's it?

Yes.

That's easy.

Yes.

Why didn't I do this sooner?

Because you weren't psychologically
independent from your father.

Those were Attorney Kwon's words.

In Attorney Kwon's eyes,

I would seem that way as well.

Have you ever prepared
a meal on your own, Ms. Kim?

Who said you could withdraw the lawsuit?

What are you doing?

Who said you could withdraw?

The plaintiff.

Calm down and take a seat.

Take a seat.

Plaintiff, if you withdraw the lawsuit,
it will be as if you never made

the initial claim.

Do you still wish to withdraw?

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

Defendant, do you agree
to the withdrawal of the lawsuit?

Yes, I agree.

The lawsuit is closed
as the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit.

Court is adjourned.

What do you think you're doing?

Are you determined
to humiliate your father?

My tattoo.

I didn't get it as a joke
when I was immature.

I'm Buddhist.

What?

I even have a Buddhist name. Bo Deok-sim.

It means the heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

What is she saying?

Are you kidding me?

It's my lawsuit,

my marriage, and my life.

You little…

-Calm down, Chairman.
-Do you know why I'm having a hard time?

Or why I'm seeing a psychiatrist?

You'll always be oblivious.

We've been inseparable for the past
ten years, yet you don't even have a clue.

She isn't just my friend.

She's not just my school friend.

Bride and groom, march!

If I have to get married,

it'll be with her.

With the person I love.

-Chairman.
-Chairman.

That way.

That way.

What happened?

Did you empty your bowels?

You missed something amazing.

What is it? What happened?

It was great.

Yes, it was.

What was?

Tell me!

Hello, ma'am.

Hey. You can sit and eat.

Come sit over here.

I'm sorry for being so late.

-Did you eat?
-Yes, I did.

What are you two eating?

I keep having an upset stomach.

So I'm having crabmeat porridge.

I like seaweed sushi,
so I'm eating seaweed sushi.

I mean…

I understand, but still.

It's my treat today.

And you're eating crabmeat porridge
and seaweed sushi

instead of the 300,000 won course meal?

Our team is very…

colorful.

Yes, colorful indeed.

Enjoy your food.

Anyway, you all did well.

It was an absurd request,

but you all did your best
and came up with a solution.

I wish we could've pushed it
all the way to settlement.

It's a shame.

That's not our fault.

It's the daughter who changed her mind.

But Chairman Kim must've
been impressed by your dedication.

He gave us new cases.

Let's do great from now on.

Is that right? That's good.

Well done, everyone. Let's keep it up.

Shall we drink to it?

Good work.

-Good work!
-Good work!

Good work.

Thank you for the food.

You don't have to drink if you can't.

Attorney Woo!

Goodness.

I'm home.

You're back.

Hey, I almost died from being hungry.

What is this?

It was a restaurant where the course
meal was 300,000 won per person.

Goodness. Really?

My daughter bought home food for her dad.

I can't believe I lived to see this day.

I'm all grown now.

Let's see.

My goodness.

My Young-woo

bought seaweed sushi.

-Yes.
-For her dad who made gimbap all day,

she bought seaweed sushi.

Yes.

At a restaurant that sells
300,000 won course meals,

my Young-woo

bought seaweed sushi.

Yes, enjoy.

It's highly likely that I won't be able to
get married since I have autism.

But if I ever do meet a person I love
and have a wedding,

we will walk down the aisle together.

Not have you walk me down the aisle
then hand me off to my partner.

Because I would be
getting married as an adult.

Right.

Really?

Instead, I will give you the bouquet.

What?

Because as a single father,
you've never been married before.

After I get married,
I would prefer for you to get married

than for you to live alone.

My Young-woo,

you've been thinking a lot, haven't you?

Yes. I'm going to go shower.

My time as the CEO
of Lawfirm Taesan has been valuable.

But the thought of going back to
being an active attorney in the field

makes my heart race.

It feels as if I'm getting younger.

You say that, but you voluntarily
resigned from the position.

That's a very brave
and respectful decision.

With Taesan being the number one
law firm in the country,

I think your decision will set

a good example to other
law firms that haven't been able to

break away from a hereditary structure.

I'm extremely proud
of my father for founding Taesan

and I'm grateful to have followed
in his footsteps to become an attorney.

But I have no intention of forcing
my own son to walk the same path as us.

What is your son's dream?

I'm not sure. I think
he's taking his time to find one.

From a mother's perspective,
it can be frustrating

because he's on his computer all the time.

I think that's enough for the interview.

Thank you so much for your time today.

I'll count on you to write a good article.
I mean, you always do.

Of course. I'll see you next time.

-Thank you.
-Yes.

Good work today.

Chairman Kim Jeong-gu
withdrew all of the cases he had with us.

To switch to Hanbada.

Why?

Is he still upset that we didn't
get him that one billion won compensation?

Yes, it seems like it.

Jeez, that man.

Changing law firms won't change that.

Did Hanbada say
they'll get the money for him?

Well…

No way.

Did they…

say they will get him a billion won?

Apparently, they even said
33.2 billion won is possible.

PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY
LAWFIRM HANBADA, ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

Woo young-woo? Who's Woo Young-woo?

Their rookie attorney.

There was a donative promise of land
as a condition of the marriage.

And they're arguing
for special damages based on that.

This is interesting.

Just the idea a rookie would have.

How did we miss
bringing in someone like her?

Should I check if she
applied to Taesan as well?

No, that's not necessary.

What should we do about Chairman Kim?

Let him go since he says he's leaving.

When something upsets him at Handada,
I'm sure he'll come back to us.

LAWFIRM HANBADA
ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

But it seems as though the younger son
beat the older son to death.

And the Chairman
and his wife witnessed it themselves.

Do you know what he's saying?

I have to communicate with a 21-year-old
autistic man, but it's difficult.

What should I do?

-Peng-ha!
-Peng-ha!

You be quiet!

You're autistic yourself!

I'm asking whether or not the defendant's
attorney, Woo Young-woo, has autism.

Attorney Woo!

I'm not an attorney
who is helpful to the defendant.
