Special Laws of Romance (로맨스 특별법 / Laws of Romance)

Oh, my cell phone!

I'm sorry.

Wait, hang on! Ouch, that hurts!

What's this?

What do you mean, "What's this"? Hurry up and untangle me!

Me?

Then who else? I'm busy here!

I'm busy too...

Let's move over there...

Okay.

How much longer is this going to take?

I'm not sure if I'm untangling it or making it worse...

How hard is it to do such a task? You're going to pull all my hair out.

That's why you shouldn't stop so abruptly... Hey, it's untangled!

- I just forgot my cell phone... - Your eyes are there for a reason...

Are... are you alright?

Yes.

But, your shirt...

What's this?

My makeup!

Seriously... What an eventful morning...

- Good-bye! - Alright, bye!

What's that? Did you come to work straight from the club?

No, it's not like that!

Why are you so startled? You're fueling my imagination.

Now it seems like the truth.

It's not like that. A woman on the street suddenly...

Don't go around hugging people at random just because you don't have a girlfriend.

This is so unfair.

So what actually happened was...

I'm not very interested in the full details of the incident.

Don't take a civil case as a criminal one.

You'll be wearing a robe over it anyway.

Yes, we'll proceed with the trial soon.

You'll cherish it in your chest. Hold it close to you like this.

Good luck today.

It's really not like that...

Have a great day!

Why would I give you the money? That's never going to happen.

There's no reason for me to do that and I have no intention to do so.

This is just ridiculous.

Defendant, calm down and please spit your gum out before speaking.

Alright, I'll spit it out.

Plaintiff Choi Jong Hyun claims that the defendant Kim Sa Il splashed coffee on him

and is filing for damages from the burn, is that right?

Yes, she suddenly splashed coffee on me...

When did I do that? I just lightly bumped into him.

Defendant, please quiet down.

It appears that the plaintiff is unable to clearly deliver his testimony.

Your Honor!

The plaintiff has filed a request for testimonial assistance.

He did file a request for testimonial assistance.

Please come forward to assist with the account.

Yes, Your Honor.

Referring to Article 143-2 of the Civil Procedure Act,

cafe owner Ahn Joo In is permitted

as the testimonial assistant to plaintiff Choi Jong Hyun.

Through Mr. Ahn Joo In,

will the plaintiff give an account of how he came to file for damages?

Yes, Your Honor.

Last 20th of March... Kim Sa Il, who is present here today,

ordered a cup of caffe americano, requesting it to be served

at 70 degrees, the optimal temperature.

Hello.

That one.

A caffe americano?

70 degrees.

The defendant had a sip of the coffee,

and claiming it was 75 degrees and too hot for consumption,

she splashed the coffee on the plaintiff, leading to a second-degree burn.

That's how we came to file a suit.

I'd also like to add, Your Honor,

that I was present at the scene.

And she burst into a fit of anger and suddenly splashed coffee on him.

Mr. Ahn Joo In. You are here as a testimonial assistant

solely to assist the plaintiff with communication.

I will remind you that you are not here as a witness,

and are here to deliver the plaintiff's words.

Yes, Your Honor.

According to the receipt for 1 million won for the plaintiff's medical treatment,

it appears that's how much it cost to treat the resulting injury.

Now I will hear from the defendant, Kim Sa Il.

Seriously... This is ridiculous.

Your Honor, I'm sure you must also know a lot about coffee,

but the most optimal temperature to enjoy coffee is 65 degrees, isn't it?

But since it cools down quickly in the cold weather, I took that into account

and told him to make it at 70 degrees.

But what did he end up doing?

He gave me coffee that was way hotter than I'd requested!
