EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO

ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Hello, Mr. Woo.

Hello.

What brings you here this early in the morning?

We're here because I heard there's an attorney here.

Excuse me?

This is my father.

I told him one of my tenants is an attorney and he wanted to meet them.

Right.

-Hello. -Hello.

My daughter is an attorney, but…

Why do you want to meet her?

Miss, are you the attorney?

I'm Attorney Woo Young-woo of Hanbada Law Firm.

Whether it's read straight or flipped, it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

Gosh, you're so clever.

This is the first time I'm seeing your daughter.

I heard she's a genius who graduated summa cum laude from SNU.

Is there really a law that states that even those

who did not visit a cultural heritage must pay the admission fee?

Excuse me?

Why don't you take a seat first?

Gosh, you see…

Recently,

my father moved.

So I visited to see his new house.

We were driving on the road toward Hanbaek Mountain

when this man came out of nowhere and blocked our car.

He said a temple called Hwangjisa is a famous cultural heritage site

and that we should pay the cultural heritage admission fee.

Cultural heritage admission fee?

Yes, so we told him

that we were on our way to Hanbaek Mountain, not Hwangjisa.

So why would we pay admission fees

when we're not even going to see Hwangjisa?

Goodness.

Then this man went on to say

that it's legal to collect admission fees.

Is this true?

The act of collecting admission fees itself is legal.

"Article 49 of the Cultural Heritage Protection Act."

"An owner of any State-designated cultural heritage

who opens it to the public may collect admission fees from visitors."

So we still have to pay the admission fee even though we didn't see it?

Just because we were near it?

Well…

That is debatable.

If I go to trial with this, will I get my money back?

How much was the admission fee?

Three thousand won per person.

Then even if you win,

the money you will receive will also be 3,000 won.

It will cost much more to file a lawsuit,

so going through with it would be a loss.

That's what I said.

Father, you heard her, right?

The attorney said it'd be a loss.

If they were being reasonable,

I wouldn't mind paying 3,000 won or even 300 million won.

But they're not being reasonable at all.

They brought up the law first,

so I'm going to retaliate using the law.

Regardless of how much the lawsuit costs,

I want my 3,000 won back, even if that means going to trial.

Then I'll have to look into the details of the case.

Where is Hwangjisa located?

It's a temple on Hanbaek Mountain at Jeju.

-What? -It's on Jeju Island.

Jeju Island?

Where Sampal, Chunsam, and Boksun were released

due to a Supreme Court ruling

after being trapped in an aquarium and forced to perform dolphin shows,

and are now swimming with baby dolphins?

Yes.

Yes.

CASE 13 THE BLUE NIGHT OF JEJU I

DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION TESTS

Mr. Jung Myeong-seok?

Yes.

You came for your test results, right?

Yes.

You can go on in.

Okay.

Right, we were supposed to have a meeting today.

I'm sorry.

Yes, come in.

May I go on a business trip?

A business trip?

Where to?

Jeju Island.

Where Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins live in the nearby ocean.

Specifically, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, where baby dolphins are often spotted

and is known to be the main habitat for dolphins

where they raise their young--

Stop. That's enough.

What's the case?

-What's the case about? -Right.

A claim for a return of undue profits.

The claim is for the return of the 3,000 won that Hwangjisa,

a temple on Hanbaek Mountain in Jeju,

collected from a passerby as a cultural heritage admission fee.

Three thousand won?

Gosh, a belly button bigger than the belly.

Are you okay?

How did you get this case?

How did I get it?

Who is the client?

Right.

Mr. Kim Yeong-bok, the father of the landlady of the building

that my father and I live in.

He made it clear that he doesn't care how much the lawsuit costs.

Is that so?

Then…

Why don't we go to Jeju?

You're also going to go?

Why don't we all go?

It's fate that we're all here together right now.

-What? -What?

Sounds good, right?

We can move around our schedules to make time, right?

It's not like anyone here is busier than I am.

No, but…

Jun-ho.

You should come too.

I'll speak to the team leader of the litigation team.

Right, well…

Okay.

Then, Attorney Woo, go ahead and take the case

and share the schedule for Jeju when everything's set.

All right.

What? Right, the meeting.

Boat tours that chase dolphins to see them

eventually reduce the dolphin population.

Because their fins can get hurt

and the birth rate goes down due to the stress.

In other words, these businesses are abusing endangered animals

under the guise of tourism.

Attorney Woo.

I'm still upset with you.

What?

Right.

Because I said last time

that we're not dating yet?

Yes.

Right.

With that being said,

when we go to Jeju

let’s not just see Sampal, Chunsam, and Boksun.

Let's go see Seung-hui and Jeong-nam too.

Seung-hui and Jeong-nam?

Yes. Those are the names of my older sister and her husband.

They live in Jeju.

Then we'll proceed with it as you said.

All right.

I almost forgot.

About the Hwangjisa case.

Yes?

Do you have to go to Jeju too?

The claim for that case is only 3,000 won.

Right.

The amount is small, but we're getting a proper commission.

But to go to Jeju just for that is a bit inconvenient.

Should I hand over this case to Attorney Jang?

He happens to have a few Jeju cases right now,

so he can take this--

I'll go.

Are you sure?

I know it's a small claims case, but you never know.

Sometimes small cases become big cases and can even become new cases.

I'll do my best to earn my keep

since I'm taking several rookie attorneys with me.

Don’t worry.

Attorney Jung, something seems…

different about you.

I wonder why.

You flatter me.

Then have a good trip to Jeju. Enjoy the food there too.

Yes, ma'am.

So you said you guys aren't dating yet and Jun-ho got upset?

Yes.

Then tell him you're dating now. Problem solved.

Well…

Why? You don't want to date him?

It's not that, but…

-What is dating? -What?

Jun-ho and I have lunch together every day

and go home together unless we work overtime.

We also go on dates on our days off.

Sounds like you're having a good time.

If we officially date, what changes?

Meeting Jun-ho's sister and brother-in-law?

-So what I'm trying to say is-- -Wait.

You're meeting his sister and brother-in-law?

Yes.

I'm meeting them during the business trip to Jeju.

-Jun-ho's sister and brother-in-law-- -Wait.

Business trip to Jeju? You're going to Jeju?
