The Law Cafe (Love by Law / Love According to the Law / Beobdaero Saranghara / 법대로 사랑하라)

Your Honor.

A safety system for this process has been installed on the door.

So if one were to enter through the door,

the machine would have stopped automatically.

The incident took place...

because the deceased, Kim In Soo, broke the protocol.

He didn't enter through the door, so this incident took place...

when he tried to inspect the machine that was operating...

Gosh. That was my snot.

Excuse me.

Have you ever even seen a baler machine...

the victim was cleaning?

My goodness.

The machine gathers the scrap metal from manufacturing cars...

and press them into flat squares.

Logically thinking, to clean the machine,

wouldn't anyone want to clean it after stopping it first?

Plaintiff's Counsel.

Wait for your turn to speak.

On top of that, what are you wearing?

Goodness.

As she clearly pointed it out just now, this incident happened...

because the worker broke a very straightforward safety rule.

Your Honor. - Come on.

Subcontractors don't have the authority to stop...

the production line of the factory.

That authority belongs to their employer,

Kangwoo Motors.

Counsel. - The executives from the company...

were to visit on the day of the incident.

So they gave the victim an unscheduled cleaning task.

Knowing that it would be dangerous, the victim cleaned the machine...

that was still operating and was killed.

This shows a deep-rooted problem within Uljin Factory.

And blaming this on a sole worker...

Plaintiff's Counsel.

Yes?

Did you submit evidence regarding the authority over the machine?

Of course.

You can take a look at the business agreement...

between Kangwoo Motors and NE System, Exhibit 35.

I'm Lawyer Kim Yu Ri.

I'm a part of a public welfare foundation within a law firm.

I represent underprivileged people and give legal advice pro bono.

And I handle public interest litigation.

Please, Ms. Kim.

Please don't cut off the judge in the middle of a trial.

And sit properly too.

You're not some rebellious teenager, trying to steal lunch money.

Come on. I told you I sit like that because I have scoliosis.

And your outfit too.

Please! Wear a modest outfit! - Come on.

I'm dressed formal. Do I have to dress modest too?

Sir.

You argued to get workplace bullying recognized as industrial accidents.

You argued that a firefighter died in the line of duty...

due to the dangerous nature of the task.

What else did she do?

She recently won the trial against Mount Jiri and Mount Doryong...

for collecting tolls illegally.

Right. That.

Ms. Kim worked around the clock for 3 months and 10 days...

on that case without taking on any other projects.

Because of that,

we had gone in the red.

But the hikers...

will be able to save 1.2 dollars.

Well, it was illegal to collect tolls.

My dear lawyer, Ms. Kim,

has been working hard for public interest...

and underprivileged people.

Finally,

with this case as her last,

she will be leaving...

our law firm!

Let's give her a round of applause!

Clap.

Where? Where are we going?

What? This place looks expensive. I'm leaving.

You want me to treat you, right?

We can get the cheapest dish here. - Wait.

No. - Let's go.

This is your way of getting back at me, right?

Because of all the resources I used?

Come in.

Goodness, Mr. Assemblyman. Sorry we're late.

Say hello.

This is Assemblyman Yoon Ju Hwan of Minguk Party.

He invited us to this expensive lunch.

Ms. Kim.

You look much prettier than the photo in the news article.

I see.

Being a beautiful woman and all, I don't know what I'm doing here.

You know, fighting for the public interest is great.

It's a nice cause and all.

You want to improve the system and change our society.

We've tried all of that too when we were young.

But you see,

it only sounds good on paper.

You just end up with a lot on your plate,

and it's so hard to win those trials.

Goodness. And so much work goes into preparing for these cases.

As a matter of fact, the general election is coming up.

And our party has been looking for a new face...

to be our spokesperson.

So tell me. What will you be doing once you leave the law firm?

What exactly do you have planned? - What exactly do you have planned?

I...

I want to run a cafe.

The rear gate is better.

A multiplex building opened up at the front gate and all.

So the rent skyrocketed.

Did you graduate from Hanguk University?

Yes. This is my alma mater.

Nothing has changed here.

Right here.

This place is nice. It's quiet too.

And not a lot of people come here.

On top of that, it's well-maintained.

The owner lives on the rooftop.

Should we take a look? - Sure.

Gosh. Miss.

My footsteps can be quite loud.

Look.

It's fully furnished.

The previous tenant had just finished decorating the place.

This used to be a tarot card reading cafe,

but the tenant had to leave the country at the last minute.

I will...

take this place.

Are you sure? You don't have to think on it?

No.

A cafe?

Yes. A law cafe.

What kind of a cafe?

A law cafe.

A legal cafe.

I can give legal advice and sell coffee too.

There's a saying...

being a litigator for three years can ruin a family.

I realized something after working as a lawyer.

A really competent lawyer...

resolves the problem before going to court.

Solve your problem for the price of a coffee.

A lawyer outside court.

What do you think? Do you think I'll get a lot of customers?

All right. Here's the woman of the hour.

The bride will enter now.

You look gorgeous!

Why is he crying?

My princess.

Stop crying.

Stop it.

Se Yeon and Jin Gi...

have been childhood friends who grew up in the same area.

Do Jin Gi...

is such an emotional guy.

Who knew the groom would cry that much on the day of his wedding?

My gosh. I was so embarrassed for him.

Dear my beloved friends,

Se Yeon and Jin Gi.

Se Yeon and Jin Gi.

Since our kindergarten days, which we don't even remember anymore,

we've been friends for 30 years.

But you two are getting married, leaving me alone.

This is such a happy day.

I'm truly happy to be here and to congratulate the two of you.

You guys will hang out with me...

even after you get married, right?

From your forever friend, Kim Yu Ri.

Okay, calm down. Face forward.

Thank you.

Kim Jung Ho!

Kim Jung Ho!

Kim Jung Ho!

Se Yeon, Jin Gi, and this guy here.

His name is Kim Jung Ho.

Ever since he transferred to our high school,

the four of us have always hung out together.

But Kim Jung Ho, this jerk... I mean, this guy...

went AWOL a few years ago.

I think...

he's avoiding me.

What is the matter with him?

Goodness. What a ridiculous sight.

You're here.

Nurungi, you punk! Are you not going to eat?

You too. Come down and eat.

Okay.

Gosh, that dog.

I told it to come down at mealtime, but it never listens.

Oh, boy. It's already time to eat.

My name is Kim Jung Ho.
