Joseon Attorney: A Morality (朝鮮律師 조선변호사)

Did you hear that?

What? Did you have a nightmare?

No! Do you not hear that?

It is crazy out there.

Gosh, seriously.

Over there.

I was wondering who was chattering away.

- My lord. - Yes?

Lord Chu has passed away.

He was murdered.

All rise for His Majesty!

How did this happen?

Improper solicitation?

Improper solicitation is against the national law.

As soon as a position was open,

people swarmed to Executive Minister's house?

- What? - Arrest them!

Stop!

They have arrested 20 suspects only in a day.

I did nothing wrong!

The way we appoint them has become corrupt,

and we have both Right Assistant State Councilor...

and Left Assistant State Councilor...

both being dismissed due to irregularities.

So, I...

officially request that the executive minister be dismissed.

Your Majesty, we also advise...

You should do that, Your Majesty.

Grand Queen Dowager...

had already declared...

to stop her regency due to old age.

I also believe that it is fair...

that I resign.

Your Majesty.

Please accept my resignation.

No, Your Majesty!

Please revoke your royal command!

- Please revoke your decision. - Please revoke your decision.

As...

Left State Councilor...

and a supporter of Executive Minister,

I feel responsible...

for Left Assistant State Councilor's demotion...

and Right Assistant State Councilor's dismissal.

However, I believe that dismissing him...

and disbanding his committee must not be discussed rashly.

The Anti-improper Solicitation Act was introduced...

to prevent the officials' private exchange.

That is why it was difficult to know about other officials' irregularity.

Also, the incident of the son of Right Assistant State Councilor...

has progressed behind the minister's back.

It is true, Your Majesty.

In such a bad situation,

Executive Minister was not able to take action.

That would prove that there was no close connection...

between the two.

I believe that it is an excessive punishment...

to dismiss him and disband his committee.

There is no justification...

for his dismissal!

We beg for your forgiveness!

- We beg for your forgiveness! - We beg for your forgiveness!

But they were practically twins.

Now they claim that there was no connection?

His Majesty...

was impatient this time.

He only ended up declaring war against them.

How about you support His Majesty?

My father...

respects you as well.

That is...

because I have not yet disobeyed the executive minister.

I stepped away from regency...

pretending to be ill, and it was all for nothing.

The King must have been disappointed.

No one can overcome...

a crisis at one go.

That would not be a crisis. It would be a minor glitch.

He certainly is clever.

It had been weighing on me,

and he fixed it in months.

Do you mean the attorney that the princess has brought?

His name is Kang Han Soo.

Remember his name.

He is one of mine now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

By the way...

Are you worried that I am upset due to what happened today?

I did not expect to remove the minister in a day.

I was simply...

initiating the plan.

No one has ever...

imagined dismissing him before,

and it was officially mentioned.

Now,

everyone is aware that his power does not last forever.

So,

what I need is a justifiable reason to kick him out.

If he comes to make me the reason,

that would be even better.

My lady.

The officials from Saheonbu are here.

Goodness.

Are you all right?

I apologize, my lord.

I meant to quietly leave the table and go.

That is all right.

Here.

I had heard about the beauty of the owner of this place,

- and it was true. - Stop.

She is injured right now.

Have a seat.

Will you meet him?

Or will you do your job as we first promised?

My answer...

will always be the same.

How dare you?

You will not ruin my family.

Mother.

You have been hiding the fact that your family went down...

after your parents had committed a sin.

How spiteful of you.

Get out of here!

Close the gate!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Put a gag on her.

She might try to kill herself.

I do not need it.

I will not die.

Your eyes are full of spite for a young girl.

It is sorrow, not spite.

One can always neutralize spite,

but this deep sorrow engraved in my heart...

cannot be soothed.

What is your story?

I know I am being shameless, but please take me to Hanyang.

I will meet the most powerful man there...

and appeal my resentment.

This is the executive minister.

He has the highest rank in Joseon.

Lord.

Please help me...

take revenge for my parents.

Please help me.

Please...

Are you sure you can do anything to take revenge?

You should bear something shameful as a woman.

Only my body will get dirty,

not my soul.

Now, my heart...

is as hard as a stone.

I will engrave your kindness...

deeply into this stone.

The body will start to decompose, so put up an awning.

Yes, my lord.

It seems he was attacked last night.

Ministry of Law Enforcement is investigating the case.

- Han Soo. - Go ahead.

Where were you last night?

Are you suspecting me now?

You are the one...

who has had the most conflicts with Lord Chu recently.

If this is about Young Master Chu, I should be lying there.

You should suspect someone...

who is closer to you and has a higher rank than me.

Who are you talking about?

I am not exactly referring to someone.

I just think someone who is capable of killing Lord Chu...

is someone with power,

and that kind of person...

must be closer to you than me.

The body had a stab wound.

- A stab wound? - Yes.

But the weapon is gone.

I think the suspect took it away.

Why would the suspect bother to do that?

It is not like his name is on the weapon.

I know.

Why is that?

I was hasty.

What? Who?

I was.

What do you mean?

Let me know if you need anything.

What are you going to do with a dagger?

Are you going to investigate Lord Chu's case yourself?

No.

I want to be prepared.

Pay for it.

- It is you again. - Yes.

Are you here to find out the kind of dagger that killed Lord Chu?

There is something that I have wanted to ask you.

Please go ahead.

It seems that the boat is almost repaired.

How long are you going to stay in Sowongak?

Accidents and cases happen all the time around you.

So I am worried that people in Sowongak might suffer damage...

when they did nothing wrong.

Are you talking about So Won?
