Ki Seo Hee...

I think it's that woman.

- Who? - Ki Seo Hee.

- You didn't see her? - I didn't.

- I need to use the restroom. - Okay.

Hello.

Ha Ra...

What brings you here?

What do you mean? Am I not allowed to come here?

No, I mean... Who did you come with?

Did you come with Jae Gyeom? Is it a date?

Yes, we are on a date since it's the weekend.

Oh, I see.

Are you two also...

on a date?

No.

You have a peculiar taste, Ki Seo Hee.

- Ha Ra... - I thought you didn't prefer used goods.

But I guess he's still...

decent to some degree, right?

Do you have an interest in my taste?

Oh, also, it's not your business whether

he's used or new since you're divorced, Oh Ha Ra.

She looks so innocent, but...

she was completely reckless.

I guess...

that's why she'd take someone else's husband.

How can you sleep when I'm fuming with anger?

Gosh!

Why are you fussing at my place when the adulterer pissed you off?

Did I take him from you?

Did I take him?

I mean...

they wouldn't get married, would they?

Goo is broke with not a single asset, and she has a kid.

It's not a matter of whether they have a wedding or not.

It's how I feel. I feel like shit, you know?

How can those two dare to team up again in front of me?

They should at least meet without getting caught.

Technically speaking,

they didn't do it in front of you on purpose.

It just happened that your paths crossed at the hottest bar in Gangnam.

He joined our firm.

If I see him again on Monday, I'll want to murder him.

He has no consideration for me at all.

Why would he make passes at me if he was going to do that?

Why did he fucking record the conversation as if he wanted to help me?

Did I ask for his help?

Record?

Did he come on to you?

It's nothing.

Gosh...

I don't even want to think about this.

He's as shallow as thin tracing paper.

He's seriously...

an expert on playing a person.

Life is just a joke to him.

Let's just...

kill him.

They said you don't have to be patient three times if you murder once.*

Don't think about this for too long.

Let's just kill him.

Right?

That's better, isn't it?

Hello.

Hello.

Whoa...

You're here?

Yes.

What are you doing here?

I'm working.

That, I can tell.

Since this is my office, so why would you...

work here?

When did...

you two start seeing each other again?

"You two?"

Who are you talking about?

Don't play with me here.

You know who I'm talking about.

It's a misunderstanding.

I swear.

I met her for work because she needed help with something.

She's preparing a lawsuit for change of custody to bring

her child from her ex-husband.

She asked me to be her representative.

Your words don't add up at all.

Didn't you hear her? She said you're still usable.

Who can you con with such lousy teamwork?

The thing is...

The fleeting...

usefulness she sees would be my...

legal knowledge, wouldn't it?

Are you sure?

You're saying you two broke up and

there's nothing between the two of you?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll believe you, so give up the lawsuit you were going to help with.

Oh, I can't do that.

Why not? Are you the only lawyer that exists?

I already got paid and...

I need to help her anyhow.

It's because I'm indebted to her.

You need...

to help her and can't leave alone,

but me...

and my feelings don't matter?

- No, that's not it- - I got it. Okay.

What?

What did you get?

I won't expect you to be considerate.

Did I forget? We're strangers.

Do your best. I'll be rooting for you.

I'll try my best not to make you worry,

Anyway, I'm sorry.

Thank you...

for understanding.

[Wonjin Marines' Jeong Joon Kyung Retiring to Raise Child after Divorce]

In this game called life,

the one who knows the rules well is bound to win.

This lady also lacked legal knowledge in daily life,

which is why she faced this disaster today.

What part of the law?

She said she wants to sue the adulterer for damages,

but she said it's been about four years since she found out, right?

However, suing an adulterer for damages

is only possible if you report

within three years of discovery according to the law.

Oh, I see...

So, she can't sue her right now.

Attorney Oh, so this means...

Let's say three years passed and

I still haven't forgiven him.

Even so, the law forcibly just forgives them, right?

- What kind of a law is that? - Exactly!

This cheating spouse... This wretched person of a spouse...

- Forgiving such a person by force? - Seriously.

If things were like this, I'd have an affair, too.

What?

- Why? - Honey.

- Was that wrong? - Yes, that was wrong.

- Was that not right? - Say what's possible.

- Oh, okay. - I beg you.

The law is a lot more human than we think.

Look at the statute of limitations, for example.

Regardless of how severe a crime you committed,

even if you weren't legally punished, after a certain time,

you can't be tried for the crime you committed.

I also really find that part baffling.

Why does the law have to be generous even to criminals?

Well, I'm not sure.

Wouldn't it be because there's no one who doesn't commit a sin ever in life?

Attorney Oh.

You're making quite a humane remark today.

- It's a little awkward for us. - Y-Yes.

I find you quite unfamiliar.

Actually...

I also imagine killing someone and dreaming

a perfect crime all the time.

On the way to the studio today,

I imagined burying two people together.

I got really scared just now. I was so shocked.

- It's not us two, is it? - I hope it's not me, either.

But I do dream about burying you all the time, Honey.

Get rid of thoughts like that.

That's funny.

How can we, then...

Attorney Oh, thank you for the work.

- Great job today. - Thank you for the work.

Could you spare me some of your time?

Yes, sure. I can.

Gosh, I feel great that the viewer ratings went up.

Aigoo, it's all thanks to you, Attorney Oh.

Will you increase my appearance fee, then?

Oh, you can't talk about that with me.

But seriously, you speak so well, Attorney Oh.

I think...

I heard this while passing by last time, but

you know Jeong Joon Kyung, the baseball player, right?

Oh, yes, yes.

He's your younger brother's wife's friend's sunbae, isn't he?

- No, he isn't. - He's not?

He's not my younger brother's wife's friend's sunbae,

but my younger brother's wife's sunbae's friend.

Oh, I see.

So he isn't your younger brother's wife's friend's sunbae,

but your younger brother's wife's sunbae's friend.

That's right.

But why do you ask all of a sudden?

Gosh, seriously. Do you not understand?

So what I'm saying is...

When we talk without any honorifics,

regardless of each one's age and position,

on the premise that we're all equal...

I'm saying that's what people call horizontal speech.

Okay? Did you understand?

So, in short, it's the same as Yaja Time*.
