Joseon Attorney: A Morality (Joseonbyeonhosa / 조선변호사)

The lost spirits of those who died an unfair death...

wander on the other side to harass people...

and create natural disasters.

The law is one fair thing to all, among noblemen,

commoners, and slaves alike.

The people filed lawsuits...

to complain of injustice to their rulers.

And there came those who assisted the uneducated...

through their lawsuits.

People called them attorneys.

- Gosh. - This is great.

We are finally in Hanyang.

What will you do next?

I must establish an attorney's office.

You have used your entire savings from the countryside...

to pay for that ship ride.

Nobody comes to Hanyang without a story to tell,

and nobody leaves Hanyang without a story.

Do you not understand?

Every single person you see now is a source of my finance.

This is the best place to open an office.

What do you mean by this place?

Here.

Pardon?

This place even smells different.

Something smells fishy.

I love it. The smell of Hanyang.

How much is this?

- This looks nice. - Get your fish!

Come and get your fish!

Come and buy some hats.

I have bamboo hats too! Come and buy some hats.

Two bowls of rice soup.

All right.

I have the most delicious rice soup in Hanyang for you.

- Excuse me. - Yes!

- Enjoy your food. - Of course.

- Eat up. - Let us eat.

Take this.

Goodness, thank you.

On top of that,

let me share my condolences in advance.

You should get a nice casket...

on his way to the other world.

Thank you, Lady Hong.

I hope the funeral goes well without trouble.

Thank you.

A cold drink for you.

At first,

you were like the youngest daughter of a ruined nobleman,

but now, you look nothing more than a servant girl.

No one will come freely and ask for help...

at a merchant house operated by a princess.

What kind of a princess opens up a merchant house, to begin with?

That is why I did it.

No one else could do it,

and someone had to.

Prin...

Principal...

in four digits.

A principal in four digits.

How much is that?

You must do it like this,

Lady Hong, the owner.

Enjoy your beverage.

Next, please.

Let me have a drink too.

- One for you. - I want one too!

- Over here! I need one! - Give me a moment.

- Me too. - I was next!

- Take this! - Thank you.

This is awful!

The plum wine down the street has a much better fragrance.

What is wrong with your wine?

Can you tell me where it is too?

Why is this wine so bland?

- This is awful. - I want to know too!

What?

- Goodness. - You are here.

He has wonderful wine.

This smells wonderful.

- Over here. - I need a drink.

Come quickly.

- Goodness. - Thank you.

I would like a glass too!

This smells wonderful.

Enjoy your drink, and spread the word.

- You. - Yes?

Goodness!

How dare you sell plum wine here?

Goodness, no!

Move aside, old hag.

Mother!

This is not a show for you!

My son!

My son, go!

My son!

Go, my son!

Get him.

Get him!

Goodness.

What are you all doing?

Pardon me!

Move!

You!

Out of my way!

Move!

Stop!

Come on, eat some.

No?

Please let me hide here.

I will get beaten to death once they catch me.

I cannot let you die. Please hide behind the stable.

Where did you go, you scoundrel?

Come out!

- We are going to find you! - A little more. Into the corner.

Darn it!

Where is he?

You.

Did you see anybody who just ran inside?

Where are you?

- Find him. - Good grief!

You better find him quickly.

There he is!

- You. - Get over here.

Good grief.

This is why...

you should have obeyed and given us our commission.

How dare you sell plum wine without our guild's permission?

You thieves!

I started the business first,

and I used my rice to make that wine!

Why are you entitled to a commission?

Get up.

You still do not get it, do you?

Get up.

Stop!

Who do you think...

Who are you...

Who is that?

Who are you?

What?

Let us go.

Get up.

What are you all doing in the backyard of my merchant house?

What do you want? Who are you?

She is the owner of Sowongak, Lady Hong.

Salted shrimp. Wine jugs.

Broken fodder and manger.

The damage is approximately 50 nyang, at least.

Are you standing around to pay for the damage?

Good grief.

Gosh.

Come on.

You got lucky.

Oh, boy. All this mess.

Oh, no.

That is okay. You may go.

- Pardon? - I only said it to scare them off.

Do not worry, and get going.

But these are very valuable.

Thank you, my lady.

Thanks, So Won.

I appreciate it, my lady.

Who were those ruffians?

They are part of Jang's guild.

Look into it.

Yes, my lady.

Alcohol that you cannot sell is worth less than waste water.

What a cold world.

Do you want me to starve to death?

We meet again.

Are you really an attorney?

That is right. I am...

an attorney, Kang Han Soo.

You scum!

Why are you taking it out on me?

I was not the one that caused you distress.

You must help when you see someone in need.

But you are an attorney at that.

At the time, you had not hired me yet.

I...

only work for coins.

Excuse me?

Do you feel unfairly treated and upset?

Then file a lawsuit.

It is easier and faster...

to use the law than look for justice.

I would rather...

drown myself to death before I trusted you.

Where would you...

drown yourself?

Lunatic.

Do you have other means of living?

Worry and cry yourself to sleep for months.

See if anybody listens to you.

I simply offered to help to get you out of the predicament,

and you punched me in my face.

That is exactly why your life is so pathetic.

- Honey! - Dad!
