Destined with You (이 연애는 불가항력)

DESTINED WITH YOU

Are you crying?

Do you want me to stay or leave?

I want you to leave.

I want you…

to come with me.

The demolition is done.

What's there to talk about?

I have a gift.

You were against the demolition. Now a gift?

I won't accept it. Anti-Graft Law, you know.

The law's not applicable.

I'm giving back what was yours to you.

Who said this black mini-coffin was mine?

Shaman Eun-wol did.

Oh, that cute lady.

She seemed really nice.

I don't want this.

She gave her consent for demolition.

Are you refusing a gift from your lifesaver?

What's inside?

You should open it. It's yours.

I don't want to.

It looks like there would be bones inside.

There might be relics instead of bones.

Maybe a painting of Shin Yun-bok.

Hop in. I'll give you a ride.

It's okay.

I don't like getting rides from people I'm not close with.

Using public transport must be hard.

It's not easy to get close to bus, taxi, and subway drivers.

I wanted to give

this wooden box a ride, not you.

Because it seems like a 300-year-old antique.

Call me when you open it.

I want to know what's inside too.

-You can do that, right? -Well, sure.

I hope you meet a bus driver you're close to and get a ride home.

I'll take a cab!

He's so full of himself.

Don't worry about your father.

He went to the vast ocean.

His dream was to travel the world.

He fulfilled his wish.

My baby.

You must've been so lonely.

How frustrating.

You're surrounded by dumb people.

They don't realize how sweet you are.

She was a nice lady.

She wouldn't have given me something strange.

Should I bring this to Authentic Masterpieces?

Could it really be Shin Yun-bok's painting?

Don't jump the gun.

Let's open it first.

What's this?

Jeez!

If you're going to play hard to get,

get lost.

WOODEN BOX

JANG SIN-YU

Isn't it too late at night for a call?

You made me call at this late hour.

Did you open the box?

No.

Why didn't you?

I wanted to, but I couldn't.

I wanted to break it with an ax, but I couldn't. Why?

I don't have an ax at home.

Are you drunk?

I don't get drunk on two cans of beer.

People won't open up to me.

Even the lock won't open up to me.

Why are they doing this to me?

Son.

Come and hang out with me.

I'm on the phone.

I'll join you after this.

Stop drinking and open the wooden box first.

When you do, call me.

Someone must be happy

to have a friendly mom.

"Hang out with me."

ONJU CITY

Good morning.

It's not good.

My skull feels like it's crushed.

I thought my face was the only thing that aged, but now my body has too.

Hong-jo. Can you go to a convenience store

and get some hangover drinks?

Sure.

No, don't sweat it.

It's okay. I'll make it quick.

What if she reports me to the Audit Team

for making her run personal errands?

Mr. Gong…

You finished the report already.

I have a headache, so I'll read it later.

-Okay. -Why? Can't I read it later?

You gave me such a rebellious look.

With those big eyes.

I'm not.

I'll be out for the hanging basket issue.

I'll eat lunch outside too,

so don't worry about me.

Let's go have hangover soup at 11:00 for brunch.

We always do this around this time.

So we must hang them by next week at the latest.

On top of that, Mayor uses that road to get to work.

I could've been in serious trouble.

This is zonal geranium.

Calendula, Moulin Rouge,

Maverick Orange, and Horizon Appleblossom.

We have various types.

So choose what you like.

I met Lawyer Seo in the afternoon.

We lost the lawsuit against Haum.

-Again? -The lawyers hired to represent Onju City

lose over 60% of the time.

So we've wasted more than 1.2 billion won of the city's budget.

Civil servants waste their time and money consulting lawyers externally.

This is why I suggest

we hire a new legal advisor, the role's been vacant for a year.

Just keep two law firms and hire a competent lawyer in City Hall.

That is more cost-effective.

It is a good idea.

But would a cost-effective and competent lawyer come here?

The salary is rather…

There might be someone uninterested in money.

There is no such person.

LAW & HIGH

"All the pain and curses will end."

"The owner of the wooden box showed up."

The box belongs to

Lee Hong-jo.

But,

she's not calling me.

What is it?

Did you open it?

No. Not yet.

Why didn't you?

I was busy.

Hey, lady.

You can't sit on that swing.

Were you eating alone on a swing?

You must not know what a civil servant does.

-It's all-- -I don't need to know. Do I?

When are you done?

I'm not sure.

-I might work overtime-- -Don't work overtime today.

Get off work early and open it as soon as you go home.

Call me when you do.

I didn't hear an answer.

I don't want to call you.

Even Aladdin was polite to Genie.

But you're not polite to me at all.

Then, I'll ask you politely.

Please open the wooden box today.

Please give me a call too.

Okay. Then I shall think about it and--

Hello?

Did he hang up?

Hey!

I told you not to sit there.

Darn it.

You were three years ahead of me?

You won't know.

I was always in the library. You were always out having fun.

I studied hard.

Every day and night.

You played basketball in front of the library.

It was very noisy.

Are you here to claim damages for it?

I'm here to recruit you as a City Hall lawyer.

Do you know how much I earn?

I'm not interested.

We can't pay you that much anyway. But…

I didn't know you were greedy for money.

I'm not greedy for money.

But I don't want a job that doesn't motivate me.

You want me to counsel civil servants

and assist with lawsuits.

You'll deal with big firms.

Numerous big companies

that do illegal things without paying tens of billions in taxes.

Tell me as soon as possible

so I can decide the next candidate.

Can I ask?

Among those numerous big companies.

Is Haum one of them?

Of course.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.

I knew it. Is this fate?

Both Mr. Kwon and I are working overtime.

CIVIL SERVANT HONG-JO

What is it?

You told me not to work overtime, but you are.

It's not your face that I want to see.

Exactly.
