Again My Life (어게인 마이 라이프)

(All people, locations, organizations, institutions, and events...)

(that are mentioned and depicted in this drama are fictitious.)

How have you been?

Not too well, obviously.

You're still such a lousy fighter.

I'm disappointed.

This is driving me crazy.

Darn it!

Keep your guard up!

Get up! Will you let everyone knock you down all the time?

Sung Jae, we're meeting earlier than we did in my previous life.

May I help you?

Can we have a sparring session?

A sparring session?

Yes.

Here.

He really is strong.

How old are you?

I'm thirty...

I'm 20.

Feel free to work out here. I won't charge you.

Nice, I knew it. You're so generous.

What do you mean?

Do you know me?

Well, I could say I know you now that I've sparred with you.

You have a habit of casually dropping the honorifics.

Everyone's equal in the boxing ring. Get with the times.

How about we spar again outside the ring?

No, thanks.

In any case, please teach me and guide me well.

In this life too,

my favourite MMA instructor.

All right, deal.

Deal!

Hi.

Hey, hi.

Here.

I was waiting for you.

What is this?

I made it.

When someone helps you, always show appreciation.

That is how I was taught.

My goodness. You didn't have to do this.

Oh, one thing. If you think it tastes bad,

it means your taste buds are weird. Just remember that.

Good to know.

All right, thanks for this.

Sure. I'll see you around.

See you.

I'm so popular.

This looks good.

No, this means my taste buds are weird.

Don't be flustered.

Kyu Ri.

Sorry.

Hey, what's that?

By the way, is Kyu Ri here today?

- No. - Didn't you go to the same academy?

- We did. - Try calling her.

I had to send out the announcement but couldn't reach her.

Gosh.

It looks like I'd have to drop out of school.

What?

Why?

My dad's business went bankrupt.

Our house is being auctioned off.

My dad collapsed,

and my mom, who's been a stay-at-home mom all her life,

is still in disbelief.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

But you know that you're on a full scholarship, right?

It's not like they'll take care of my dad's hospital bills too.

I have to look after my dad,

so I have no choice.

You can find a way to make it work. You have to finish school.

The situation is a lot worse than you think.

Soon, my family would have to move out and...

I need enough money to put down a deposit on a studio apartment.

What can I do? I need to figure it out.

But you know what? I'm making pretty good money these days.

Guess how much you can charge as a tutor with a perfect CSAT score.

Hello?

Sorry?

Okay.

Yes, I'll be there in a minute.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I think my dad tripped and fell.

Thanks for your concern, Hee Woo. I'll see you around.

Wait.

This was why I never saw Kyu Ri in my previous life.

Because she had to quit school like this.

Then...

This is my first time visiting the court for an auction.

This feels weird.

Excuse me. Could I get the bid sheet?

Sure, here you go.

There are many great properties.

Excuse me. I'd like one too.

Sure, here.

Let's see.

This is the apartment complex where Kyu Ri lives.

All right.

Observing this today will give me a rough idea of the range...

of the winning bids and how competitive it is.

Case number 2008-TG-7611.

Sold to Woo Yong Soo for 354,999,000 won.

Again?

Woo Yong Soo?

The name sounds familiar.

He already bought 2 condo units and 3 walk-up apartments.

Most of them at half their market value.

Case number 2008-TG-7913.

- Sold to Woo Yong Soo... - If I buy properties like these...

and manage to generate profit,

I can help Kyu Ri buy back her home...

and even raise money to deal with Cho Tae Sub down the road.

But...

this isn't enough.

Are there secrets to winning an auction?

Keep your guard up! Harder!

Pick up the pace!

Faster!

- Oh, no. My foot... - Get up!

I can't. I'm done.

Come on. Hurry!

Pick up speed!

Faster!

- Hey, what the... - Catch me if you can!

Physical strength, my grades,

- and money. - Let's do one more lap!

I will not neglect anything.

X owns the rights to a patented technology called A,

but Y used the technology without X's permission...

to manufacture products and sold them.

What kinds of legal actions can X take?

List everything you know.

- Kim Hee Woo? - Yes, sir.

Well...

If X were to approach it as a civil case,

X could claim compensation for damages based on...

Article 750 of the Civil Code and Article 128 of the Patent Act.

X could also file a civil claim based on Article 126...

of the Patent Act, "Right to Seek Injunction Against Infringement,"

and Article 131, "Recovery of Reputation of Patentee,"

or claim compensation for unfairly gained profits...

by the infringer based on Article 741 of the Civil Code.

X could also...

pursue a criminal case against Y for patent infringement...

or violation of X's exclusive use rights.

You sound like a pro.

All right. That's it for today.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Hey, Hee Woo. The restaurant with the webfoot octopus...

Hee Woo.

Do you have to go to the restroom?

He's fast.

Case number 2008-TG-2534.

Sold to Woo Yong Soo for 32,845,000 won.

TG-2637. Sold to Woo Yong Soo...

for 35,910,000 won.

TG-2728. Sold to Woo Yong Soo...

for 52,740,000 won.

Three walk-up apartments.

He did this the last time too.

The market's bad these days. Why is he doing this?

The only way to find out is to check them out and see what's going on.

Goodness.

It's a basement apartment.

All the walk-ups he bought are actually basement apartments?

Why?

There's nothing special about this area.

Why did he buy the properties?

What is different about this area?

I really can't figure it out.

Sir!

Hello.

I'm a student studying court auctions.

I'm Kim Hee Woo. I go to Hankuk University's law school.

So you'll become a judge or a prosecutor. How can I help you?

I'd like to earn money.

And?

I looked into the properties that you bought last week.

They're all basement apartments, which won't really go up in value.

Even if you were to rent them out, they wouldn't be that lucrative.

Why did you bid for such properties?

I've been racking my brain but can't figure it out.

Then you'll never earn real money.

Besides, I have no reason to tell you my trade secrets.

Sir, could you at least give me a hint?

Did I throw the question at you? Why should I give you a hint?

Look at the map.

The map?

They're all in the same district in Seoul.

Other than that, they have nothing in common.

What could it be?

Hang on.

They're all located...

Redevelopment.

That was the answer.

It has the potential to be redeveloped...
