Why Her? (Why Oh Soo Jae? / Wae Osujaeinga? / 왜 오수재인가)

This drama is fiction and the characters, names, institutions, events, organizations, and circumstances are not real.

I...

was guilty of a crime.

Chairman Choi led the investigation team on the Financial Savings Bank corruption

fifteen years ago.

I was the one who introduced the illegal loan broker to

the CEO of the savings bank.

And I received the payment from the broker.

When investigations began, I knelt down in front of Choi Tae Kook, begging for my life.

I begged like a dog on my knees.

You are telling me that, because of this flaw,

you knew that those three bastards were culprits, and yet you didn't do anything?

For this long time, like a dead man?

I needed a bit of money.

I wanted to buy a home for Eun Seo and her mom.

All you have are trashy excuses,

and you want to team up against them?

Reopen a finished case with a fabricated culprit

and try to win without any proof?

Please help.

Those knees of yours are...

so cheap.

Knees that go down whenever needed.

Who else do you plan to kneel for?

If I can get them,

I can kneel down ten times, a hundred times if necessary.

As long as I can get at them.

Han Dong Oh, Lee Shi Hyeok, and Choi Ju Wan.

They need to be caught.

We can capture them together!

Oh Su Jae!

That's why I bought that house.

The shreds of evidence from that day should be there.

I'll find them for sure.

Evidence.

- That part-timer - Are you okay?

was Kim Dong Gu's sister, Jeon Na Jeong.

- My phone? - Okay.

Wait here for a moment.

Hey! Where is that bitch.

Hand Dong Oh, Lee Shi Hyeok, and Choi Ju Wan.

Eun Seo, who they kidnapped,

got into an accident and

I'm sure they probably didn't leave Jeon Na Jeong alone

since she witnessed everything.

Who's that bitch?

That bitch saw everything!

Hey! Get that bitch!

When it comes to the fathers of those three bastards,

especially the inspector general at the time,

Choi Tae Kook.

Instead of his son

and his friends,

making Kim Dong Gu the guilty party

I'm sure was a piece of cake for him.

You go on ahead.

I'll go as soon as I wrap up some work here.

With that piece of trash

I...

Choi Yoon Sang

Noona, I need to tell you something about Chan.

Answer the call.

Choi Yoon Sang, what do you think you are doing?

Kim Dong Gu.

You deceived Noona and

Noona abandoned you.

Choi Yoon Sang

Noona abandoned you.

You still don't understand what I'm saying?

Su Jae Noona Noona abandoned you at that trial!

Since she lost that trial,

she was able to come and work under my father at TK Law Firm.

Wh-What...

What do you mean?

What are you saying? Make it clear. What are you saying?

Noona's mom and brothers were arrested,

and she received a deal.

Through her lecturer, Director Baek Jin Gi,

"Don't waste your efforts needlessly on Kim Dong Gu's trial.

Then I will have your family freed."

Don't spew words that you can't take responsibility for.

This is why you and Noona won't work out.

Because you deceived Noona,

and she abandoned you.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

If Professor gave up on me and saved her family back then, that is all right.

That's the right thing to do.

I would've done the same.

Don't overreach.

If you justify her actions by saying that,

do you think her deeds will be erased?

Overreaching?

The whole world called me the culprit.

Even my father didn't believe me.

Do you know how much of a hell that is?

The only person who believed me in that hell was Professor.

You wouldn't know, Hyeong

That a single "I believe you"

can let a person breathe and live on.

I'm sure you can't even imagine.

Being a sucker like that is why you got framed.

Being a sucker like that is why you get used!

So what if I'm a sucker?

I still had someone who believed me.

That's more than enough.

Whether she abandoned me or not at the trial,

it doesn't matter.

Crazy bastard.

The public defender who solely believed me, Oh Su Jae

The public defender who solely believed me, Oh Su Jae

How come everything is okay with you?

How does nothing matter to you?

Does this not matter to you as well? Recent Calls - Noona Su Jae

Is it also not a big deal?

Recent Calls - Noona Su Jae

What did you do?

What did you do to the Professor—

Are you worrying about Noona even now?

I'm telling you she abandoned you.

I feel so...

disgusted.

Closed for the day, Thank you

In fact,

I did question whether Professor gave up on the trial or not.

What? When?

When?

During the trial?

I was mindless then.

While I was studying for law school

I suddenly got curious about my trial history.

Did you see anything that was out of place?

The witnesses called by Professor

overturned their testimonies.

Thinking back,

I think she also felt the same way.

That it's a trial set for her to lose.

No matter what she does, she's set to lose the trial.

So she did stab you in the back.

That's abandoning you, man.

Go up to sleep if you're going to keep rubbing salt on his heart.

Go up, go up. Hurry.

Come on, Hyeong.

It just burns me up. Are you okay, Hyeong?

Are you okay, Hyeong?

- You're just as pissed as I am. - I should just!

My life is so...

pathetic, Joon Hui.

It's not your fault.

Don't think like that because it's not your fault.

No. It's my fault.

My decision threw Kim Dong Gu into hell.

My decision pushed my life down into the gutter.

Not even knowing that it's a gutter.

Thinking that it's a place full of flowers.

So embarrassing.

So regretful.

So shameful.

Chan.

I heard that Professor heard your conversation with Yoon Sang earlier.

Even if you say that you don't mind,

Professor won't be able to see you.

Geez. Of course, she can't see him.

If it were me, I'd be avoiding him.

I'd never run into him.

How can a person live and always be right?

If you get to know that person...

Kim Dong Gu?

It's so messed up.

But you know... I believe you.

If you find out that she is a good person,

your feelings for that person don't change

even if you realize that she did you wrong.

How can I be shaken up so easily

when I know what kind of person she is?

We are like that, too.

We rub each other the wrong way sometimes, but we're still okay.

Of course, we're okay.

Rubbing the wrong way is no big deal.

That's right.

It's not a big deal.

No need to walk me out.

Gosh. Gosh... Look at your smile. Geez.

Everyone regrets.

That's not embarrassing.

The ones who should really be ashamed...

Shame those morons even more.

Make sure they certainly suffer the consequences.

That's who Oh Su Jae is!

That's my friend, Oh Su Jae.

As expected, you were right, Attorney Oh.

Chief Ha was caught right in your foot traffic.

I barely managed to secure a CCTV footage.

I will send it to you right away.

He listened to your lecture and stood there afterward

but hid somewhere else when people came out.

Then he went to TK Law Firm after the Law School.

Nothing after that.

Please keep working at it.
