Joseon Attorney: A Morality (朝鮮律師 조선변호사)

You will fire me? Are you out of your mind?

No, my mind is clearer than ever.

Do you think there is anybody else who can put an end to this matter?

Fine, even if you find someone, it will take a long time,

and the lady will suffer in that while.

Do not pretend like you are worried about her.

Is that your idea of an alternative?

Even if she wins against Commissioner Park,

how can she feel truly happy and relieved?

And what if you fail even after taking things that far?

I will not fail.

Just because it worked once, it does not mean it will work twice.

At the very least,

I am the type of a person who believes justice will prevail.

In other words, we will do this the lawful way.

I will find the witnesses and evidence we need...

and prove Lady Yeon's innocence.

In your dreams.

Now.

In this system called marriage,

the responsibilities and duties of a husband and a wife...

already come in a lopsided manner.

A man may abandon his wife,

but a woman may not abandon her husband.

A man may report his wife,

but a woman may not report her husband.

The law of this kingdom says...

there is a bad wife but never a bad husband.

The field is already unlevel.

What now? The lawful way?

Okay, then. Good luck.

If you successfully save Lady Yeon by your way,

that is the day I will honor you as my master.

Do you mean that?

Promise me.

I do.

Let me see.

Here is my promise.

What was that?

A promise.

Okay, then. Find out what you can.

In order to win a divorce suit,

you need to know everything about Commissioner Park.

What are his drunken habits?

Does he snore or grind his teeth in sleep?

You need to reveal every shade of his true color!

And you are going to do that alone?

Without me? All by yourself?

Can you really do it?

But if you divorce him,

you will be able to keep your inheritance.

Your husband is after this fortune,

so you must stop him from seizing it...

to take good revenge on him.

All good.

You have to risk one of your legs, at least,

in order to win this trial.

Standard tactics.

I will reveal the fact that he framed Lady Yeon,

make him pay the price, and get her the divorce she wants.

Closed today?

I am going to go look for a new attorney.

There is something I need you to do while I do that.

Your wish is my command.

In order to win a divorce suit,

we must find out who Commissioner Park really is...

and what he did to Lady Yeon.

You need to know everything about Commissioner Park.

What are his drunken habits?

Does he snore or grind his teeth in sleep?

You need to reveal every shade of his true color!

I hear it is important to reveal every detail of who he really is.

You heard this?

I mean, it is important, right?

- It is. - Yes.

- Yes. - It is important.

Here is the thing.

Yoon, keep your eyes on everything that he does...

and find every smallest fault you can.

Meet with everyone who is involved with him,

and nitpick over everything, everything they own...

and use in everyday life.

Lady Hong, find people who will testify for Lady Yeon...

and receive petitions to let her live.

Lady Baek, make sure Lady Yeon does not lose her energy.

Bring her food every meal to revitalize her.

Lady Yeon, you must eat well and keep up your energy.

You told her everything she needed to do.

She will manage without you.

Never. Impossible.

I gave her a hint,

so she will manage to imitate my ways.

But that is it.

One day, she will come back for me,

and she will realize my way was the right way.

You are right.

There is no other attorney who would be up for this job.

Of course.

The world is not such an easy place.

Whoa.

Why are we here?

The trial will resume,

so I must find a weapon too.

Tie it down and follow me.

All right. I need to find a tavern.

So how is everything going?

Well,

I did accuse her of committing 1 of the 7 bad behaviors.

But that brazen woman...

turned in a request for divorce to Hanseongbu.

But I have enough time to dissolve my assets,

so do not worry about me.

You must win the trial as well.

Executive Minister Yoo cannot find out about your trickery,

so I will find a good attorney for you.

Are you there?

Yes.

Let him tail your wife.

Sorry?

Once the war begins,

the first thing you do is sending a spy to your enemy.

Again, I always learn something new from you.

By any chance, do you take divorce suits?

A divorce suit? No way!

By any chance,

do you take divorce suits?

No, find someone else.

Excuse me, attorneys. Do you take divorce suits?

- Goodness, that is nonsense. - That is impossible.

No, find someone else.

You need to give up now.

I am already on Commissioner Park's side.

What is so good about siding with him?

He is a man who can kick out his wife of 20 years.

That depends on who the woman is.

I am different.

That is not going to happen to me.

Are you completely certain?

Let me bring you some food.

I do not need food. Myung Wol.

Myung Wol!

How many times has it been?

Why does she keep coming in and going out?

It looks like...

her mind is somewhere else.

My lord.

Did I keep you waiting?

I am a little late.

Let me pour you a drink.

I can smell something.

It smells fishy.

This familiar...

yet strange smell.

I do not know about the smell,

but I can hear the sound.

That sweet...

yet vigorous laughter.

This is...

Myung Wol received two guests at once!

Two guests at once?

I even paid you twice as much today!

What are you going to do?

Myung Wol, how dare you?

There are ethics you must keep even at a courtesan house!

There are! There...

Where are your manners?

I cannot believe you did this.

Hey, not so bad.

And you look awful.

Are you two...

acquainted?

- No way. - Not at all.

You are a woman.

I am sorry.

I had no other choice in order to come in.

Well, I do not mind.

Because what matters more than the gender is...

the gesture.

Then, Myung Wol,

will you accept my gesture of goodwill?

Thinking about you becoming Commissioner Park's concubine...

genuinely makes my heart break,

yet I will wish you happiness.

This is a gift.

- A gift? - Yes.

Live a happy life.

You will have to excuse me.

And this is my gift.

Impressive.

You saw through Myung Wol...

and realized that she was a key witness.

Gosh. Did you think I was so stupid that I could not see through that?

So, did you convince her?

I am in the process.

If Myung Wol changes her mind,

it must be because of me.

So, how about you hire me back?

I have already found a new attorney.

What?

No way. That cannot be true.
