CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, NAMES, PRODUCTS, AND EVENTS

OF THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXPERT

I'm glad you accept it's your fault.

Yes, it's all your fault.

It was all my fault.

I was the reason.

That was the reason for our breakup.

-Why is it my fault? -It's your fault! How is it mine?

Everyone is the same.

They all say it's not their fault.

Even those who admit they are at fault

blame the other person for their actions.

COURT REPORTER SEAT

JUDGE'S BENCH

Every time I saw them.

I was killing her somewhere in my heart.

Again and again.

I didn't do my duties as a wife.

My husband is a really great guy.

If he hadn't met me,

he wouldn't have gotten a divorce.

It was the first.

Then please make an arrangement with your husband.

There is no need. I'll settle it as my fault.

And I'll give up any division of property from our divorce.

And before the memory of that day faded away

that woman reappeared.

SIX MONTHS LATER

It's all my fault. I hope my husband's reputation isn't tainted because of me.

And again.

What' going on?

Please sit.

Say something!

How can you do this?

Speak out!

Say something!

Like that, the woman

got divorced six times

in two years in my court.

Each time she claimed it was her fault.

Hey you!

Don't you dare be in my sight again!

She was a strange woman.

I was curious about her.

That is…

how our relationship began.

COURT JUDGE'S BENCH

EPISODE THREE

RESIDENT REGISTRATION

SPOUSE CHOI SANG-EUN

Today is the last day. Choi Sang-eun's 13th divorce.

This might be the first divorce

where she isn't at fault.

He's dangerous. There are things I saw. I couldn't sleep at all because of that.

Honey, I'm hungry. Come in. Let's eat.

I'm just going to ask you straight out.

Who are you? I saw the photo of a dead woman and a knife.

Are you like a serial killer?

If I have to explain what I do

I do sometimes remove people from society.

See? I told you. He's nuts.

-You heard him right? -Serial killer?

Whether a killer or a cop catching a killer, you only mimic them.

So it's easy for you to say.

But it can be quite rude to people who face them in real life.

Wait, what do you mean face them in real life?

What are you? Are you really a killer?

-You keep misinterpreting me. -Just report him.

There is evidence in that house. I've seen it all.

I'm a public servant.

A judge at Seoul Family Court Family Department.

-Are you happy now? -A judge?

Am I stupid? Why does a family judge have a photo of a dead woman

and a knife in his house? I saw it from the emergency stairs.

A wife filing for divorce due to domestic violence was killed.

During the suit, it bothered me to see her being

extremely scared of her husband.

The husband blamed her lover but the wound on her body

traced the killer to before transferring data to crime dept.

-I was carefully going through… -Why take off the ring?

But why do I have to explain all this to you?

-Well… -I don't think I bothered you at all.

Isn't that right?

Then what's with you?

You leave late at night, back in two days then gone again.

Well I…

Why do you…

need to know our personal life?

Let's go in.

No, I…

I'm so sorry.

So you're a judge.

I was curious about your hobbies.

Your hobby was studying.

It's weird I didn't know for the last five years.

Why are you standing here?

Go have some rest.

Oh, I'm just bored.

Go rest. I can take care of it all.

It's okay.

It's our last dinner. Bon Appétit.

So why did you do that earlier?

Do what?

"Honey, I'm hungry. Come in, let's eat."

Well that…

I thought he was making a move on you.

-He also had that look as well. -A look?

-Please eat. -Thanks for the meal.

If you're going overseas

what are you planning to do?

I want to date.

All this time

I've been married quite a few times. But I've never had a relationship.

I didn't have time to, anyway. So I want to go out on a date.

Aren't you going to date?

That's not really my specialty.

What kind of a girl do you want?

I don't really want to date anyone.

Don't be like that. There has to be a celebrity

or a type of girl that you like.

No, not really.

But if you must truly have to have one.

-Why should I? -It's fun.

Oh…

Well, a woman without makeup?

Guys always say they like girls without makeup.

You know people put on peach colored lipstick,

draw the eyebrow naturally with eyelash extensions

and put makeup to cover any skin blemishes and pores.

You can't fall for that.

Then who do you want to meet?

Someone that can love my face without makeup.

I don't like my face without makeup.

You're looking for someone who will love you when you don't love yourself.

That won't be easy.

You're not easy either.

Well…

I'm not good at getting close. I'm trying very hard.

But I wondered if it was necessary.

But…

I think it's a good thing.

What is?

A person smiling back at you.

Time is going so fast today.

Don't you think the salad turned out tasty today?

Yes, I think so too.

Should we have more?

Yes, sounds great. I wanted to have some more too.

-It's delicious. -Yes, it's just there…

Oh, and how did you know?

-What do you mean? -That I'm going overseas.

As you are retiring I thought you might

go overseas sometime.

Thank you for everything.

Mr. Jung Ji-ho.

You know the court has a lot of interest in your

social skills, right?

Did you know that?

Good morning.

-You've never met-- -Despite the large number of cases we have

It looks great that

you guys don't look stressed.

See? Mocking us the first thing in the morning.

I've made additional comments on Kim Hae-yong's murder.

Hand it over with the evidence.

Transfer all trial records to crime department too.

Okay, sure.

Umm Sir?

I need the Great Law in the afternoon.

Yes, I'll request it.

Knock knock. Judge Ji-ho, I want some coffee.

I'm reading books on personal relationships.

I'm getting the professional help that you recommended.

Do I really need to report all this?

It's my first time seeing a petition on someone's personality.

There was no one on your side.

You know I had a hard time stopping the bail team from submitting a petition.

Try your best if you don't want to lose your job.

-I understand. -Did you say hello?

-To who? -The new accessor from earlier.

Sorry?

You'd not be here if you weren't my student.

VIP tickets worth $300 each.

Have social outings with the workers.

If they quit because of you, you'll be writing the sentence ruling by yourself.

I understand.

I know you guys are having a hard time.

Wish you all the best.

Take care.

-Assessor? -Yes sir.

Well…

Nice to meet you.

Yes.

I wanted to say hello but didn't get a chance. I'll try my best…

I know it isn't easy.

His nickname is brain freeze Ji-ho. When you first see him you get

your first brain freeze from his good looks.

But once you start talking to him

you get a second brain freeze from his personality.

This is light.

Let's see.

Come in.

Here are the case files.

You have a great posture.

-Are you comfortable? -Yes I am.

If the correct posture feels uncomfortable your body is not right.

Do you have a problem?

This is crazy.

It's such an eye opener. Don't you think so?

This season's collection is great.

I want to try this on.

The strap even has my name on it. The color is so my style.

This seems okay.

This is so gorgeous.

My pick for an important day.

Give me everything I have tried on today.

Should you be spending this much? If we're moving…

-Do you remember? -What?

Five years ago, one of my clients was an asset manager.

You went crazy because he wanted to pay with something other than cash.

Yes I remember.

It was something weird.

-Hit coin. -What?

-No, I would've known that. -No you didn't.

I sold it when I hit 50 times in profit.

Wow.

You are awesome.

So just trust me and follow me.

I keep saying this. If you don't want to live at my level

we can live separately.

Fine by me Mr. Hard-to-get. So what's happening with your job?

Well it's being taken care of perfectly.

I finally did all the shopping before going to Canada.

I'm starting to feel all sorted.

What made you not feel that way before?

Well…

Hello Ms. Helper. Do you remember me? Fancy seeing you here.

Hello sir. How are you?

Yes and…

Oh, you're working. Is he another client?

No I'm on a date today.

I didn't think you were interested in dating or getting married.

But people's minds change.

I wish you all the best sir.

-Let's go, honey. -Okay.

Oh but…

Was he your client? You broke his heart.

-Looks like he's going to cry. -I told you before.

I can tell from their eyes. If I don't do this he's going to cause trouble.

Brother?

No one's home.

Who are you?

What are you doing, mom?

What's this?

I told you not to tell her the code.

Answer me. What's this medication?

You should have asked before making all this mess. It's magnesium.

Are you sure?

Manager Yoo. Check if it is true.

It's correct ma'am.

I got it yesterday because he couldn't sleep for a few days.

She said she was here and I told her to wait.

Why weren't you answering your phone?

-I was… -How many times have I said no?

You call this tight security?

Security? Am I a burglar?

Stop ignoring me, you brat.

Ma'am, it's not like that.

He's a bit sensitive because a stalker broke in while he was sleeping.

Who told you to suffer?

Leaving the most secure house in Korea. You move back in right now!

Kang Hae-jin! That brat…

-Hey! -Ma'am please.

I know you're frustrated, but let's just…

I'll drive you back.

Why would I when I have my chauffeur?

-Let me go. -Sure.

You…

You can't trust him. This isn't

something he can fix by himself.

When I saw the news that he was taken to emergency early in the morning I…

-My head hurts. -He got hurt while filming.

We're taking good care of him.

There's no hospital that will prescribe him meds, because of the rumors.

It's the end for me if something happens to him.

I will die.

And you die too.

I have to die too?

FRIDAY JUNE 10TH

When was the last time I had a free Friday?

What should I do? What should I do?

What can I do that's great?

Should I dance? I should dance first.

It feels so good.

My rings will be donated.

Client Park Sun-woo.

Did he buy a German car from the money

he got from the wedding? Are you enjoying it?

I hope it doesn't break.

Was this client Jung Hyun-chul? Yes it is.

I hope you are happily married for real.

Who owned this fancy ring?

Oh, Nick! Nick how is your business going in Korea?

Good luck. I hope this is used for a good cause.

Client Jung Ji-ho.

You'll be eating alone today.

How's divorced life?

That's right. I need to get divorced.

I forgot. That would have been bad.

Your honor, a woman

should let a man work comfortably outside.

I don't know why she has to have a say in what I do.

I can't work in peace.

I'm so frustrated.

I can't take it any longer either.

I want to live like a human being.

Not with someone who only cares for him.

I want to date someone who loves my face with no makeup.

In Canada where I will never meet you again.

Sorry?

I want to live alone comfortably rather than living with someone like him.

Oh I see.

Have both parties

said everything they wanted?

-Yes. -Yes.

JUDGE BENCH

THE DEFENDANT REGISTERED HIS/HER MARRIAGE ON 2009 JANUARY 16TH FRIDAY

WHILE LIVING TOGETHER TILL 2022 MARCH 20TH

SEOUL FAMILY COURTS

CONSENSUAL DIVORCE INTENTION CONFIRMATION DOCUMENT

It's been a while, it's confusing.

It this right?

I guess it's right.

Excuse me.

I'm in your way.

I'm sorry.

Move your car please.

Oh, she's back. Okay, I'll be right there, bye.

Hey Sis!

Can I use your car? I need to pick up my things.

You're not seeing Mr. Payment anyway.

I need to stop by later.

Then just drop me off.

Seriously.

Why does it have to rain making me look bad?

What's your problem this time?

When did I ever have a problem? But Sis…

Why did you put on full-face makeup when no makeup was specified?

A full-face makeup? It's makeup that's pretty much like no makeup

Should I've done a bridal makeup for my divorce?

A plain look is perfectly fine.

Okay, let's go.

-Thanks. -It's raining hurry and go in.

I'll pick you up.

You'll have a lot of stuff. I'll grab a taxi.

-Call me. -Okay.

Turn around.

Who are you?

Aren't you brave? I thought you were just filthy and shallow but you

don't care about your life.

You have no idea who I am.

Who can this be?

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Are you okay? I'm not the one who got hurt.

Let's go to my house.

Will your wound be okay? Your house lights were off.

You can't go to hospital like that.

I'll leave if you don't need me.

Hey…

That's Jamie all right.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

I'm sorry but can I borrow some clothes?

I would prefer an oversized shirt.

She's weird.

Using the bathroom as if it's hers.

Please help me.

You can come in.

This smells nice.

So I don't get blood on this.

Since you're an actor

I don't think you'll find it awkward being this close with a stranger.

You can say that.

I took a tranquilizer from there.

I have the same ones.

I can't get mad since you're not crossing the line.

Here I go.

Luckily you weren't injured by the knife.

No ring again.

Let's just say…

you're bothering me because you look like my cat.

But be honest.

I can't just take his words

and leave a woman who might be exposed to a serious crime.

A judge can murder too.

You like playing detective too much.

We're just a normal couple.

A normal wife won't borrow clothes

from a guy who lives upstairs.

You disappear late at night.

Comes back in two days gone few hours later.

Are you…

being exploited by him? Like sexually?

Or a weird on-site business?

I no longer have business with him so I should stop pretending to be married.

Yes, it's a business.

I was right?

-That son of a-- -A housekeeper.

I come every two days to make rice, soup and side dishes.

You heard him say

"I'm hungry. Give me food."

But don't you think you have expensive tastes, to do that?

You seem to have a serious prejudice against housekeepers.

Thank you.

You're Jamie, the Ina group's only child.

I've noticed the cat isn't here today.

Jamie.

We've met before although it was a long time ago.

Are…are you okay?

There's definitely a cat here. I'm allergic to cats.

His has terrible manners.

Hello.

Is your girlfriend okay?

-Sorry? -Not your girlfriend?

The lady's car is registered to the second floor.

She comes occasionally so she can't be your wife.

Is she your sister?

-But why? -She got hurt earlier.

She was drenched and didn't look too good.

Kang Hae-jin helped her upstairs.

She's not with you?

I shouldn't have said anything. Please take care.

She's in that house?

This looks delicious.

-I'll do it with you. -Okay.

DIVORCE BY CONSENT FORM

CONSENSUAL DIVORCE INTENTION CONFIRMATION DOCUMENT

APPLICANT JUNG JI-HO

So you're saying…

you're the youngest son of the Gangjin Group?

You caused such a big commotion back then

so I was curious. I had no idea you had changed your name.

This is embarrassing.

Do you have a big mouth?

No way, I'm pretty sensitive about my privacy.

What's your real identity?

With your incredible background

there's no way you would have become a housekeeper.

I heard you were raised to match the status of anyone you could marry.

I clearly remember the CEO of the Ina group boasting about that.

My life was a bridal class.

Now I have a suitable job that matches it so don't ask any more questions.

Isn't it a secret

you're the son of a chaebol?

Then let's keep quiet about our second characters.

You can charge for the clothes here.

And…

thanks for today.

Let me ask you one more favor.

Do you have an envelope?

What?

I have one more reason to leave Korea.

Wait…

is it right for me to bring this to him?

What if he asks why I didn't send it by mail?

Let me think about this a bit more.

I visit a house where a man lives alone

to give something to my wife.

That sounds weird.

Let's take this out.

I go upstairs

to check on my wife.

That's even weirder.

He's home from work.

Sang-eun, you're being too much.

Why am I acting so out of character lately?

Oh.

Why are you here?

Why have you come upstairs?

The guard told me

you were hurt and were upstairs.

There was a little accident and the guy upstairs helped.

Are you okay?

Of course, it was nothing.

Did you go upstairs to look for me?

Why don't we have some tea.

Sure. Should we go to a coffee shop?

If I go in I'll be tracked.

To the house I mean.

Oh, the house. Sure.

Okay.

Choi Sang-eun.

Living a life matching the bridal class.

Hey Uncle, can you scan someone for me?

Oh crap.

What is this?

Why did she leave stuff in my house?

Oh my goodness.

Is she crazy or what?

Have you…

had dinner yet?

No, not yet. Come to think of it, it's time for dinner.

Then…

Should we have dinner together?

Sure, let's do that.

Okay, let's go.

I'll have this.

I'll have this, and please make his less spicy.

You can't eat spicy food. Most foods are spicy these days.

Excuse me, can I get another one without pepper please?

I'll eat this one.

It's quite funny.

It's less awkward for us to have dinner than to have coffee.

Did you want to eat rather than go for a drink because it would be less awkward?

No, not really.

I apologize.

So…

what happened earlier?

Oh that's…

You're a judge right?

I need some advice.

Lately it did feel like

someone was watching me.

Someone with a helmet attacked me today.

I did have some aggressive clients but

this time it felt totally different.

What about his voice? Did he talk?

His voice was altered.

He was saying that I was filthy and a shallow person.

Do you think it's a hate crime against women?

I don't think so.

Why not?

There is a definite reason for you to be a target.

I'm sure a lot of your clients would have feelings that aren't normal.

Target? What kind of feelings?

Mostly negative feelings.

Frustration from not being able to possess you

and the hatred that comes with it.

There were few clients of that nature. But there were only a few.

Women are very wary of men, and yet

they believe men in their circle of acquaintances are good people.

But they have to suspect that they are actually trapped inside

the range set by men.

It's quite foolish.

Range? Foolish?

-Oh I wasn't referring to-- -I understand.

-And? -Do you want to know more?

Well, in a nutshell to end a false possessiveness is to

kill the other person's feeling that they have

-complete possession over them. -Wait.

Kill? Who kills whom, and why?

As I said earlier.

Whether you intended or not, the drive of your business is

a man's inferiority complex.

A root cause of many brutal crimes.

For people with a strong inferiority complex

-may think you deserve it. -I deserve it?

Why would I be killed?

-Ms. Choi Sang-eun. -Yes.

No victim thinks they deserve to die.

Excuse me, Mr. Jung.

But if you have plans

to go overseas

-you shouldn't be worried too-- -Yes.

I'm not that foolish.

I have plans to leave Korea.

Did I say something wrong?

You asked for my advice.

Yes of course.

Thank you very much.

But it makes me think

that it was actually better

when you didn't talk.

Thanks for the meal.

I can't believe I thought I…

I'm glad we had a fall out.

Excuse me.

Let's make a clean finish,

You brought that document for me, right?

Yeah, well I did.

Here.

I'll submit this one.

Why are you there? Get in.

Bye.

CONSENSUAL DIVORCE INTENTION CONFIRMATION DOCUMENT

Wow! He's so hot and he's a judge.

Why aren't you hitting on him?

Hey, I'm Choi Sang-eun.

I don't want to tie my future to a guy.

But if I have to, he is totally below my standards.

And I also found out that his personality is the worst.

How did I miss this for five years?

Oh, is that so? Is that why you even changed your clothes?

You left all girly earlier.

But why are you such a femme fatale now? Is that his taste?

I can see your shoulders! Button up right now.

What's wrong, you okay?

-Yeah. -Is it hurting you to leave Mr. Payment?

Stop it. My ears hurt.

MADAM YOO

She told me to not call her.

But I'll be leaving Korea for good.

Forget it. Choi Sang-eun, just do your job.

Where's my bag…

Here it is.

That Jung Ji-ho.

STEFAN BACHMANN CONCERT IN KOREA

Why is this here?

Let's make a clean finish.

You brought that document for me, right?

Yeah, well I did.

Oh right.

But why is this…

He probably already opened and read mine.

How am I going to fix this? Calm down, Sang-eun.

You can calmly fix this. Client Jung Ji-ho.

Be calm, just be calm.

-Hello, sir. -Yes, Ms. Choi Sang-eun.

Thank you for the concert ticket.

How did you know I like classical music?

Oh, is that right? That's great.

I was sad I couldn't get the tickets.

What a coincidence.

And thank you for the documents.

-Oh that I… -I'll submit the documents.

I'm at work anyway.

Well I'm quite impatient

so I did hurry a little this time I--

No, thank you. I've been so busy

I didn't get to it. Thank you.

Oh, I see. So

-the concert is on Saturday night. -That's right.

Enjoy the show. I have to go now.

Enjoy the show? Am I going alone? He…hello?

What's with this guy?

He's not even going to go with me. That's not the point.

This is so embarrassing. So embarrassing and shameful.

Can you zoom in on camera seven?

I'll send you the CCTV identification number.

Could you get the recordings?

I could ask Detective Min to find it for you.

Why are you doing it yourself?

It's not a formal case yet. You can go back to your work.

-Can you zoom in on camera one? -Sure.

I've changed the passcode to your door as you requested.

Okay, thank you.

What's wrong? Is there something bad going on?

What's good about life

and what's bad about it?

But I'm a little let down.

I thought that one person wouldn't lead a shitty life.

Oh right, on the fridge.

You asked to look something up. He left it there.

They're always so quick.

My life was a bridal class.

Now I have a suitable job that matches it so don't ask any more questions.

She started a business with the bridal training she received.

She is truly amazing.

Hello?

Choi Sang-eun?

Why call me to find Choi Sang-eun?

-Who is it? -I know this voice

from somewhere.

Oh man, I know this voice for sure.

Is it Kang Hae-jin?

That's right, it was Kang Hae-jin's voice. What? Kang Hae-jin?

Why did Kang Hae-jin call me and ask for--

This is Choi Sang-eun.

If you're indebted to me you could have cleaned up your mess.

You shed so much I thought you were a snake.

And who was that man on the phone?

This phone's owner.

I couldn't just give you my number.

What about me then?

My number is now revealed to a stranger.

I guess you're right.

I apologize, I'll delete it now.

-What? -But to be honest, I'm surprised.

I didn't think you'd call just because of a shirt.

Shirt? What shirt?

-I misjudged you. -I can't believe it.

Look, that was made by Jerry Brown just for me.

Limited edition, just one in the world.

Right.

Anyways, take your clothes back.

Don't expect me to bring them.

You can just discard my clothes.

What about my clothes?

You're not giving them back?

Did you auction them off already?

I'll bring them over.

What's with your tone?

Why am I being treated like a prick when I let you borrow my clothes?

Can't believe it.

Hello?

Did she hang up on me?

Why is she such a snob?

Is it because she's an only child?

She must have been spoiled.

Here.

Full dry cleaning package service

Is there a rental fee too?

Are you always rude?

I apologize if I sounded rude.

But Mr. Kang Hae-jin.

Did you sincerely apologize to the guy downstairs

for prying into his personal life and slandering him?

Come in. I'll bring your clothes.

Okay.

Here.

How funny. Both apartments are the same but feel so different.

How is the apartment downstairs? And how's mine?

Both apartments are wonderful.

But the apartment downstairs is…

too clean and simple so it doesn't feel

as if anyone lives there.

Since it's Friday, are you going downstairs now?

You work on Mon, Wed & Fri.

No, I don't anymore.

I have no business here anymore.

Why not? Did you quit?

Yes.

That should be my manager.

I'll get going too.

What brings you here?

Right, you're married.

Are you looking for your wife?

No, I'm here to see you.

-Why me? -The suspect that attacked Choi Sang-eun

is someone related to you.

You know

who that person is.

Just a second!

Why did you give me the tickets if you aren't coming?

You're the only one who wouldn't take this the wrong way.

-Who is she? -She's my wife.

You hate because you love.

You cry because you hate.

Who the hell is this girl?

Free love is better than being gay.

I'm the biggest failure of her life.

I realize now I don't know anything

about Choi Sang-eun.
