Joseon Attorney: A Morality (朝鮮律師 조선변호사)

Father, it is your loss.

I have not taken the trouble to play an elaborate move.

So is there any meaning in deciding the outcome?

At the least, this incident can cause conflict within Hungu,

and a complaint will arise against you.

Those who have betrayed my trust will be dealt with.

I can always fill up the vacancy.

Father.

Do not be alarmed and take my words to your heart.

No relationship in this world remains the same forever,

other than blood relations.

Do you understand?

Magistrate Yoo.

I did not want to go home.

And I could not go to Hanseongbu looking like this.

I am glad you are here.

This is your home. Please get your rest.

Did you know?

You are the only one...

who welcomes me gladly.

You are also the only one...

who receives me warmly.

What is going on?

Magistrate Yoo?

It is nothing.

Let us go inside.

What brings you here?

What is the occasion?

The incident with the new commissioner broke out...

at the bar in Namchon for middle-class women and widows.

The Princess has informed me...

that the food here is wonderful.

And it must be true.

You are not a man with a big appetite,

yet you are here hanging out with the lady of the house.

Is it not what you think...

I do not understand why I owe you an explanation.

Because you are about to marry the Princess.

I apologize for my discourtesy just now.

What?

You are not the woman I just saw.

I am the one you just saw.

No, you are not...

It was her.

Then please,

enjoy your conversation.

I heard my father saved her life.

So I think of her like a sister, and I simply look after her.

Like a sister? Sure.

I knew you would not believe me no matter what I said.

Is there anything else you would like to say?

Why are you...

getting into this marriage?

No.

Whose side are you on?

Executive Minister Yoo? The Princess?

Will you marry her and try to reconcile...

Executive Minister Yoo and the Princess?

Or will you take her side and help her bring him down?

You should find...

the answer before you marry her.

Goodness.

I played along with you,

but why did you hide from him?

I will inquire Kang Han Soo myself.

I once put him in trouble...

under the order of Executive Minister Yoo.

So I hid without realizing it.

Have you been spying on him for my father?

I just wanted to repay the kindness Executive Minister Yoo showed.

Is it not proper...

to return one's kindness once I am indebted?

My father caused the death of Kang Han Soo's parents.

That is not all.

He was deeply involved in the death of the former King.

No.

I am sure you have the wrong information.

I would rather hope so.

My son has been helping your older brother.

Hang in there a little longer.

There will come a day...

when you will share the truth with your brother.

Scholars are always used and abandoned by politicians,

just like your father.

I will help you too.

If it is something...

that will help you and your son.

That is a man who is about to marry soon,

yet he is already at a bar early in the morning.

Hey, do you not think this is just awful?

Right? It is awful.

Goodness, men.

What are you doing?

You must leave at once!

Please do not be angered,

Grand Queen Dowager.

I am here...

to take the heart of the Princess which remains here.

This place must disappear...

to stop her from coming here.

There are people who barely make a living in this neighborhood.

Please watch over them.

This place is filthy and noisy...

because of all the low-class people.

She has been living here with no status or name.

That is why she gets herself involved in such a vulgar scandal.

An attorney!

An attorney from the middle class?

But Grand Queen Dowager, that was already...

I know.

I have promised the Princess...

that I would keep him alive.

However,

if I see the same issue again,

I will not show mercy.

Put your worries to rest.

I merely come to this place to hand it over.

The Princess has never come back here...

since she moved back into the palace.

I have promised the Princess...

that I would keep him alive.

Have you seen a ghost or what?

Are you marrying Magistrate Yoo...

because of me?

Did Grand Queen Dowager force you to marry him...

by promising to keep me alive?

You should have told me.

How should I?

You already felt betrayed and got angered.

You knew that and still kept it from me?

If I must get married eventually,

I wanted to help...

the Royal Court, the Royal Family, and this state.

As I told you,

that is the way of the Royal Family...

and the princess's responsibility.

Do you know what I hate the most?

The look you give me as you think,

"I will get back at the executive minister."

"I can do anything. I will help you."

Those reckless eyes!

Your pointlessly firm determination.

And your dangerous resolutions.

Do not go through with that wedding.

I will not allow it.

I didn't realize,

but I think I wanted to hear you say that.

It is all good now. I heard it.

So Won.

Whatever anyone says,

you are So Won to me.

That is why I will protect you.

So,

keep your promise.

So, you promised.

We will be each other's cheongsimhwan...

and always be there.

I am allowed to do this...

since I am So Won, right?

You seem delighted.

Grandmother.

Where have you been?

Well, it...

felt stuffy to stay in the palace, so...

So?

- The capital... - The capital?

Where? With who?

It was...

Magistrate Yoo.

Magistrate Yoo?

Yes.

Princess, Magistrate Yoo would like to see you.

Let him in.

Grand Queen Dowager.

Princess Yeon Joo.

You came at the right time.

Princess Yeon Joo says...

You left this.

Thank you.

You will get married soon,

so it is probably best to get more intimate.

You came all the way here, so spend some time with her...

while watching the moon in the back garden.

Thank you, Grand Queen Dowager.

She let me off the hook, thanks to you.

I was wise to come here.

Yes, you were. By the way, where did you find this?

I accidentally saw you.

I must have been running away from my grandmother.

Yes.

You would rather run away than let her see you...

with Attorney Kang.

How about we step outside?

Sorry?

She ordered us to spend some time, so we must listen.

It seems the Grand Queen Dowager...

made a special command for us.

It cannot be helped, I guess.

Now that things turned out this way,

why do we not just watch the stars?
