Isn't this Cha Eun Kyung?

("Exclusive: Cha Eun Kyung's Husband Speaks Up About Her Office Husband")
(Office husband)
(Nation's renowned divorce lawyer)
(Office husband, proves her to be guilty)
(Put on a front as a sweet married couple)
Seriously?
(I'm glad I didn't comment when they first announced their divorce.)
(I knew there was more to the story. I'm disappointed in Cha.)
(She cheated on him too? What about their kid?)
("All About Adultery." I believe in Attorney Cha.)
(An office husband. A divorce lawyer divorcing.)
(Look at all these hate comments. I'm disappointed in you.)
(I never liked her.)

An office husband?
Unbelievable.
(Case 05: Office Husband)
Honey, you heard what our lawyer said.
That Cha Eun Kyung won't settle?
Yes, it seems she wants to prolong the fight.
Han Yu Ri may be representing her,
but I'm sure Jung Woo Jin is pulling the strings.
Of course.
Jung Woo Jin has the hots for her.
I knew it.
They could've started things first.
The two of them have been on...
countless business trips to other cities.
I doubt they went that far.
Eun Kyung thinks it's a waste to set aside time for meals.
She wouldn't have had the time for an affair.
How could nothing have happened...
between two colleagues of the opposite sex...
while working together for over a decade?
The word has already spread around the office.
Are you hinting that you know something?
Just tell me what you know.
I'm saying it feels wrong to be the guilty party...
when they could've started their affair first.
Of course it's unfair.
We're expected in court soon,
and we can't sit around doing nothing.
There wasn't an affair.
You never cheated on your wife. Sure.
Also, I don't know...
if I should be telling a reporter this but...
What is it?
Cha Eun Kyung and her colleague...
Are you saying there's something between them?
He's more like her office husband.
On TV, she talked about how happy her marriage was.
I guess that was all a lie.
We haven't been intimate for over three years.
Her other relationship could've started around then.
Darn.
(Kang Sang Ju)
Yes?
As if a cross-bill is of great urgency.
I want a cross-bill filed right away.
Only that way will the public think...
that both parties are guilty in some capacity.
All right, fine.
I'll get on it right away. Are you happy now?
Just because she worked for Cha Eun Kyung,
she thinks she's on the same level as Cha.
What a nuisance.
(Episode 5)
To my office.
- Good morning. - Hold on.
- Romance is inevitable. - Gosh.
- Morning. - Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Woo Jin, I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Because of me, you're caught in a dirty scandal.
Are you apologizing on behalf of Kim Ji Sang?
Are you doing that for him...
since you're not technically divorced yet?
You're right. This isn't my fault, but...
Still, this all happened because of me.
Is this guilt by association?
Stop adding fuel to the fire.
Forget the apology...
and just tell me if there's anything I can do.
Like a press conference.
Are you insane?
All I have to say is that I'm not your office husband...
and that people are cruel to those handsome.
Are you afraid of what our staff will think?
It's just...
I'll come up with a countermeasure, so don't worry.
I wouldn't worry.
- Darn. What a day! - I'll clean that up.
- Let me. - No, I'll do it.
- Get back up. - Let me do it.
Just...
I said I had it.
What's up with me today?
Let me see.
Cha Eun Kyung, don't tell me you...
(Attorney at law, Cha Eun Kyung)
Seriously?
What are you two doing?
It's not what you think. My hand...
Don't get any wrong ideas, Yu Ri.
Please tell me it isn't true.
You too?
Are you here because of the news article?
What news article?
Are you saying there's more to this?
(Cross-bill)
Ms. Han, Mr. Oh is asking for you.
(Plaintiff's extramarital affair)
Seriously?
You must have an idea as to why I summoned you.
It must be about Ms. Cha.
Well,
both parties must be throwing stones...
hoping that they make contact.
If there's even a one percent chance of Cha Eun Kyung having...
an office...
What was it again?
An office husband, sir.
Is there a chance that she could have...
such a relationship with Jung Woo Jin?
No. I haven't been at the firm very long,
but as someone who has seen them in close proximity,
there's absolutely no way.
Being an attorney at law,
you must know that nothing is absolute.
The Ms. Cha I know...
focuses her energy on winning her cases...
and earning more money for the firm.
That's all she cares about.
And as for Mr. Jung...
She trusts him as a colleague and friend.
Nothing should happen that hurts the reputation of this firm.
Don't just take their word for it...
and actually dig into the facts.
Of course.
I'm sure the rumour is false,
but I'll check.
I'll let you get back to work, then.
- Yes? - Ms. Cha,
please meet me at the VIP conference room.
Why are you summoning me when you can come to my office?
Ms. Cha... I mean...
In this case where you are the plaintiff,
I am your attorney and you are my client.
I'd like to define our relationship as such.
I see you've grown a spine.
Before we think of a countermeasure,
there's something I must confirm...
as your attorney.
Confirm?
- Don't tell me... - You and Attorney Jung Woo Jin.
- Han Yu Ri, you... - You're saying...
there wasn't an affair.
Watch your words.
That's not even worth answering.
You're the one who told me...
not to trust or believe everything.
That's what every cheater says.
That's how they describe their spouses.
You don't believe it, do you?
What a joke.
Do you want me to describe my relationship with Woo Jin?
Them filing a cross-bill...
could mean that they have some sort of evidence.
How can there be evidence when it isn't true?
Why are you taking it out on me...
when it was your first client who fooled you?
I believe I'm only asking the necessary questions.
Han Yu Ri.
As my attorney,
you should be thinking about what we can do...
to squash that ridiculous cross-bill and them spreading that dirty rumour.
So what is all this?
As taught by you,
I'm doing my due diligence by checking the facts.
So please just answer my question.
It's not true.
There's nothing between us.
I only asked that as an attorney caring for her client.
Did it warrant such hostility?
You asked that for my sake?
It seems as though I hired the wrong attorney.
I'm trying my best.
Don't blindly say you're doing your best.
Get out there and think of a countermeasure as my attorney.
Unbelievable. My gosh.
Darn!
Let me see.
(Cha Eun Kyung)
(Kim Ji Sang)
(Choi Sa Ra)
(Jung Woo Jin)
(Office husband?)
(Infidelity)
Gosh.
(Infidelity)
Ms. Han, have you eaten yet?
I'm not sure if I should be...
letting you buy me a meal considering the situation.
I guess it could be awkward for you.
But there's nothing for you to worry about,
so enjoy your meal with ease.
You both say it isn't true and that I shouldn't be concerned.
Are you going to brush it off like that?
This isn't a simple matter.
The rumour... I mean,
the news articles are being circulated,
and this could hurt Ms. Cha's chances in court.
You're right. You're absolutely right.
That's why I asked you to a meal. To plan our next action.
First of all, I want to know about your relationship in detail.
I'm a victim in this case as well,
but an explanation?
Sure. Since you're representing Eun Kyung,
I should tell you about us.
Well...
Eun Kyung...
Hold on. Are you saying this lady lawyer...
is taking my case rather than you?
Why?
Well, that's...
There isn't an attorney at this firm...
who has more experience with divorce cases than I do.
You must trust me.
But...
How can a woman go toe-to-toe with a man in court?
I wouldn't go toe-to-toe with him.
I'd have the upper hand.
At a time when we didn't have many female attorneys,
Eun Kyung shattered the glass ceiling above her.
And I witnessed that from a front-row seat.
(Defendant)
Let's settle amicably for 10,000 dollars.
Who does that settlement benefit?
There's no way she will settle for that.
Ms. Cha, why are you being difficult?
The ruling will state she gets an alimony of 10,000 dollars,
so it'll be economical for all of us if you just settle...
If we take it as far as to you giving a ruling,
you will write...
that the defendant's habitual physical abuse...
led to their marriage being wrecked.
To my client, having that in writing...
is more economical than reducing her time in court.
Are you kidding me?
As if there's a man who doesn't knock his wife around.
Yet, you dare keep saying that it was assault.
Your Honour, you heard him.
The perpetrator is raising his voice in court.
How is it just to wrap up this case...
with only 10,000 dollars and no written ruling?
(Judge)
Darn it.
(Judge)
We will make a ruling.
She had only been practising for about three years,
but it seemed as though she was born to be an attorney.
Since then, I only had the utmost respect for her.
That still hasn't changed.
You were incredible earlier in court.
Yelling at the defendant is one thing,
but you also cut off the judge while he spoke.
It doesn't seem wise to make an enemy out of one.
He tried to force us to settle.
A settlement.
Both parties should be in agreement for that to happen.
How dare he order me around?
Maybe the judge was only trying...
to have you two reach an agreement.
That's your problem.
Sorry?
You're too much of a softie.
Attorneys should only think...
about what is beneficial to their clients.
Who cares what the judges think?
Well...
That's your own opinion.
Meanwhile, I also have my own.
What I say is always right.
Keep that in mind.
Sure, Eun Kyung.
Let's drink.
Out of respect and admiration,
I cheered her on by her side.
She was always so busy, and all I could do...
was to bring her some coffee.
Come in.
Eun Kyung, your coffee.
- Leave it there. - Here.
That coffee...
forced her to take a break.
At times, she seemed too exhausted...
and lonely.
By the looks of it,
you're thinking about pulling another all-nighter.
It took me three hours...
to read the records of this case once.
I'm now just getting to the notes.
Hold on. Slow down, will you?
- I bet you skipped dinner. - Jung Woo Jin.
Can you please leave?
You always say you won't be done by tomorrow,
but then get it done somehow.
Now that you know what you're capable of,
you can set aside some time to eat meals.
(Railroad Diner)
You always have the basic gimbap.
Nothing is served more quickly.
I propose you have tuna gimbap, at least.
Oh, right.
Since you're here...
Here.
What is this?
On a busy day,
she suddenly said...
that she was getting married.
(Kim Ji Sang, Cha Eun Kyung, We're getting married.)
What is...
Why are you so surprised?
This doesn't make sense.
The fact that I'm getting married doesn't make sense?
You only eat the gimbap that is the quickest to make.
When did you have time to date?
Oh, right.
Did I not tell you that I went on a blind date three months ago?
- That doctor? - Yes.
Why are you getting married three months after meeting him?
I don't have time. Just getting married quickly...
is more efficient than having a long relationship.
Are you sure you know enough about what kind of person he is?
Yes. We're two years apart, and as you know, he's a doctor.
He's just normal.
No, not things like that.
Is he well-suited for you?
He's perfect for me.
First, he can cook.
Do you know how ridiculous your answer is?
You're going to come, right?
Let's get going.
You should get married soon too.
Shall we go?
She got married in the same way she concentrates...
- Thank you. - and goes through legal documents.
Despite being a divorce lawyer, she was a bad judge of character.
Kim Ji Sang...
is trying to drag Eun Kyung down no matter what it takes.
So don't be swayed too much.
So you're saying...
you have always admired Ms. Cha...
and that you still admire her now, right?
That's right.
Kim Ji Sang knows that.
Gosh. What a shameful person.
Mr. Jung.
From this moment on,
please don't let anyone sense those feelings.
What feelings?
Your feelings of deeply liking Ms. Cha.
I thought...
I explained everything to you.
Did you not understand what I was saying?
You said you were a victim, right?
It's true that you're a victim.
Because of a baseless accusation,
you were denounced by the public.
But instead of being furious about being wrongly accused,
you're only worrying about Ms. Cha.
Do you need me to explain further?
Of course, I'm worried.
I told you that I admired her.
I don't think I can eat this meal.
You said we should come up with a plan together, right?
I don't think I can do that.
Ms. Han.
I can see very clearly that you care for Ms. Cha.
I'll trust that you'll stand back and not do anything...
that could be disadvantageous for Ms. Cha.
I hope you don't think I'm overstepping here.
I'm telling you to think of me,
not as a younger lawyer, but as Ms. Cha's attorney.
Ms. Cha told me...
I should always do things...
for the benefit of my clients.
Did you see the article?
- Yes, I did. - So crazy.
I thought they were suspicious. I guess I wasn't the only one.
Of course. Who didn't know that?
Know what?
Mr. Jung likes Ms. Cha. Isn't it obvious?
Be careful with what you say.
If someone hears you, they could sue you for defamation.
Mr. Jung is totally protecting Ms. Cha.
Gosh. I'm so jealous of Cha Eun Kyung.
If I were her, I would jump ship right away.
It's a ridiculous rumour.
How could you talk as if it was true?
I've never seen them do anything inappropriate.
I'm sure they didn't seem like it.
Because it's Jung Woo Jin's one-sided love.
I'm going to root for Mr. Jung.
- I hope it works out for them. - Me too.
Oh, right.
Did you know that Choi Sa Ra called out of work today?
- She must be the mistress, right? - I think so.
I think she called out of work because she got in trouble.
- How suspicious. - Stop it. What if someone hears?
It's fine.
Director Kim. I'll get straight to the point.
Please work until the end of the day and leave the hospital.
(12 years ago)
What kind of dad quits work to raise their baby?
There's no law saying children should be raised by women.
My daughter needs me, so I should stay by her side.
You should be fully invested at this point in your career.
At this rate, you won't be able to grow more as a doctor.
Doctors are skilled labourers.
If you don't keep practising, you'll get rusty.
Hello, Ms. Cha.
I made Jae Hui's favourite omelet,
but she barely ate any of it.
You can go now. Thank you for your work.
I'll get going, then.
Jae Hui asked if you two...
were getting divorced.
- So? - I think it's time...
you told her.
Jae Hui.
What? I'm doing homework.
I have something to tell you.
Are you busy?
I just need a moment.
I have a vocabulary test tomorrow.
I need to memorize 60 English words before I go to sleep.
And I only have an hour and a half before I have to go to bed.
You're very busy. But...
I really have to tell you this.
Can you tell me tomorrow?
Okay.
All right, then.
Oh, my.
You don't eat things like this at home, do you?
The housekeeper has cooked it before.
Oh, is that so?
The issue isn't the crab stew itself.
A married couple should sit at the table together, eat,
and talk to each other.
Gosh. Cha Eun Kyung should've just stayed single.
She doesn't deserve to be married.
- It's getting cold. Let's eat. - Okay.
- Do you know that? - What?
That it was the first time you spoke badly of Cha Eun Kyung.
Me? I don't think so.
You've never...
directly said that she didn't...
deserve to get married.
Really?
We can't back down now.
I decided not to be afraid.
Let's stay strong.
Yes. Don't worry anymore.
They won't have the capacity to attack us for the time being...
because they're all busy handling the story of her affair.
I'll try meeting with Attorney Han.
She must've understood that it'll be better to just settle.
We even filed a cross-bill. Do you think they'll really settle?
Most settlements start with the filing of a cross-bill.
Since we showed them that we won't back down easily,
they could give up.
It's weird for us to be sitting here drinking coffee together.
How interesting.
Why did you call out of work?
You filed a cross-bill and talked to the press...
without any evidence.
You acted rashly, and you couldn't handle it. Isn't that right?
Without any evidence?
You must not know because you're new at the firm,
but there have always been rumours about them in the office.
You didn't think random rumours spread by employees...
would count as evidence, did you?
Are you trying to see whether or not I have evidence?
I'll figure out how to prove what I've said,
so you don't need to care.
You must know that you'll be in trouble...
if we sue you for defamation.
You should study the law more.
I've never unnecessarily said any of those things,
so what defamation are you talking about?
I merely submitted a document to the court.
The reporter just did his job.
You think you're a real lawyer.
You really have no fear.
Do you think you can handle the public?
As for the public,
it'll hurt Ms. Cha more since she's a public figure.
As Ms. Cha's attorney,
you should convince her to go for a settlement.
Are you trying to tell me what to do?
I've told you many times,
but my client has no intentions of settling at all.
Seeing as how you specifically said, "my client,"
you must have a different opinion.
Isn't it also good for you to wrap up the case quickly?
For Ms. Cha too.
She'll have to give him half of her assets anyway.
If she wraps things up quickly,
it'll be good for her and Jae Hui.
In truth, you want things wrapped up before rumours start to spread.
But you're talking as if it's for the benefit of others.
How shameless and cowardly of you.
Ms. Han.
As her lawyer,
think carefully...
about what'll be best for your client.
Keep coming after me, and I'll fight to the end.
Gosh.
(Attorney at law, Han Yu Ri)
Oh, Ms. Cha.
Have you thought of any countermeasures?
I just met Choi Sa Ra.
I'm sure she asked for a settlement.
Yes.
I would like you...
to strongly consider a settlement.
Why would I?
I told you already, Ms. Cha.
You're too full of your desire for revenge.
If you keep going that way, you'll have to give him your assets,
the reputation you've built up will plummet,
and Jae Hui...
will get even more hurt.
Is it not that you're scared?
Just as you taught me,
I thought about this excluding my personal feelings.
And the lawyer part of me doesn't want to recommend...
that my client continue this suit, which has an obvious outcome...
and will only cause more headaches from the fights it will cause.
It's very easy for a law firm employee of ten years...
to gaslight a first-year attorney, isn't it?
Ms. Cha.
You know this isn't about that.
I told my lawyer several times...
that I will not settle.
Bring me a different countermeasure.
I'll think on it more.
Gosh.
That girl.
- Knock-knock. - Hey.
Han Yu Ri is being so brazen.
Kids these days don't thank you...
for giving them an important title. They just stop listening to you.
What's wrong with that? Instead of being submissive...
to higher-ups, like we did back in the day,
she says what needs to be said. I like that.
So?
You just let her interrogate you and leave...
without even eating?
I told her that I admire you very much.
The misunderstanding has been resolved.
She's persistent.
She's very persistent.
Does she go to some school?
There must be a school that teaches her how to irritate me.
Eun Kyung.
I think you can trust Ms. Han with this.
How can you say that after how she treated you?
You're so kind.
You're too nice.
Yes?
These are the files for your case in the countryside.
Pardon?
(Gwangju Family Court Suncheon Branch, Ruling)
What?
"Sodae-ri?"
Where is this? And what is this case?
Didn't anyone tell you...
that you had a business trip in the countryside?
What?
Ms. Cha said it would be...
a good learning experience for the new lawyers.
The new lawyers?
Because you don't drive well,
Ms. Cha told Mr. Jun to go with you.
What? It's okay. I can go on my own.
I told Mr. Jun,
and he said he'd go with you.
Is she getting revenge on me for telling her to settle?
Is she the queen of revenge or what?
Oh, over here.
- Long time no see... - Let's go in my car...
- What? - What?
- You... You first. - I was saying...
We could go in my car.
No, get in. Let's go.
- Put your seatbelt on. - Okay.
Sodae-ri? Where is that?
I've never heard of it before.
We've been driving for quite a while.
Will we be able to go back before today?
I know. What if we have to stay here tonight?
I don't think there's even a motel in this area.
A motel...
Round Three is on me.
Let's go for PB.
(Motel Eunyu)
- Play... - Do you want to listen to...
- Yes. - Okay.
(South Jeolla Province)
(Sodae-ri Supermarket)
Excuse me. Hello.
Do you know...
where 557, San, Sodae-ri is?
I think it's over the hill somewhere.
- That way? - Yes, it's far.
- Okay. Thank you. - Thank you.
- It's 557, San, Sodae-ri? - Yes.
- That way? - Yes.
Show them the way.
- That's the way. - Yes.
Do you know where 557, San, Sodae-ri is?
- Do you know? - What?
- That way? - Yes.
- Okay. - Keep going straight.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Bye.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for 557, San, Sodae-ri.
It's not this way. It's on the other side.
It's far from here.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It's far from here?
No, we'll find it soon.
People would never guess...
this is what a large law firm makes their employees do.
We have to report this to the Employment and Labour Office.
We can't. We received the per diem.
What? We did...
- Thank you. - Yes.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
What a fool.
You still stick around with Cha Eun Kyung...
when people are calling you her office husband?
Get a grip.
We've never crossed the line before.
We didn't do anything for you to blame us.
Hey, Cha Eun Kyung may be a talent at work,
but she's the worst woman a man could get.
No wonder her husband cheated on her.
What do you like about a divorcee with a child?
How dare you...
- fall for a woman like her? - Stop it.
What a fool.
You're not waiting for her to get divorced, are you?
Are you showing that you were raised with no mom?
Do you think you have the right to say that to me?
Don't pretend like you care about me now.
Look back at yourself.
The right?
What about you?
Do you think you have the right to inherit this company?
I warned you many times.
There's nothing good about losing my favour.
You're letting me down more and more.
I'll leave now.
That prick...
- Hello. - Hello.
We're looking for Go Yu Sun.
We're from Law Firm Daejeong.
Yes.
Gosh, so bitter.
My goodness.
What is this? The arrowroot extract?
(Marriage Registration)
(Go Yu Sun)
So you registered your marriage again?
Who keeps their marriage registration in a frame?
I've never seen it in my life before.
I hear you.
It's okay to fight and reconcile.
We don't mind as long as we get our pay.
You know it's 30,000 dollars, right?
We can't pay you.
We agreed to pay you...
if we got divorced.
- But we're back together. - We're back together.
We have no reason to pay you.
We proceeded with her lawsuit diligently.
And we got you the division of assets.
And your reunion happened after that.
We can only pay you if we got divorced.
But we didn't get divorced.
You did get divorced.
You remarried the same person.
So you need to pay us now.
Honey.
Stay still. It's true that it's our fault.
What's so wrong about a couple in love...
living together?
People don't even get married anymore.
The country should award us.
- My goodness. - Sir.
Attorneys like us don't like to deviate from the topic.
People these days only pursue sexual relationships.
They don't take responsibility to the end.
What a world we live in.
We've been in love for 20 years.
By the way, we went under due to debt.
We have no money.
Wait a minute.
You never stopped...
loving each other for 20 years,
yet you filed a divorce. You're in debt,
yet you registered your marriage again?
Did you pretend to get a divorce?
It's often called false divorce.
- We're sorry. - We're sorry.
He was struggled to pay off the debt...
that he didn't even have time to eat.
I filed a lawsuit...
to survive alone.
Yes, I know.
I should be in prison. I'll pay for my wrongdoing.
He didn't do anything wrong. Please.
Why would you?
She was only following what I told her to do.
She didn't know anything. All she did was to follow me.
If you're going to report anyone, report me.
Don't say that.
Have you forgotten that we're one?
You can't do that.
If you go to prison, I'll follow you.
You fool.
I'm never going to let that happen.
- No. - Take me.
No, it was me. The false lawsuit.
All right. Enough with expressing your love.
You want to let your crime slide?
This is never acceptable.
How can you say that?
That's my line.
- What? - Oh, stop it!
We were only trying to protect our family.
Please.
He knows what he did wrong.
So please show us mercy.
Honey.
- Does this make any sense? - Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
This is all we can give you.
Please take it.
Thank you.
You see...
In my whole life,
I never stopped...
loving him, not even for a single day.
Not a single day.
I'm so sorry for lying to you.
I'll pay the price.
So please...
I'll go to prison.
False divorce, lawsuit fraud.
To think that such things actually happened.
We didn't get paid after all, by the way.
When we get to work tomorrow,
let's sue for default on payment.
You're busy these days, so I'll type it up.
Hey, Mr. Jun.
Can we not do that?
What?
Let's report back...
that they had no assets to seize.
No one will care.
Why should we do that?
I met all kinds of people since I became an attorney.
And...
it was the first time I met people who fought for their love.
"Yes."
"That's what it means to be married."
"Even if they must deceive others together,"
"they do not deceive each other." That's how I felt.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Enjoy. - It looks so good.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Ma'am.
- Can we have a beer too? - Sure.
The black bean noodles and beer are considered an expense.
Noodles and beer.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Are you sure we can drink beer?
Don't worry. I have a plan.
You get some beer.
I get some water.
What's going on?
I drink but not you?
I have to take you safely home.
Right. You have to drive.
Cheers.
To a good day.
- It looks amazing. - Let's eat.
Gosh.
- It's lovely. - It's so good.
I feel better now.
Hey.
Believe it or not,
it was a first for me.
What was?
That night.
For me too.
So...
I think...
- We... - We...
We were both drunk.
And since it was a first for us both,
let's just consider it a reasonable experience.
I don't want things to get awkward at work.
I really like discussing cases with you...
and gossiping about Ms. Cha behind her back.
It's great fun.
I keep realizing...
we really are a lot different.
I'd had another idea since we walked down that slope.
Actually,
I'd wanted to say this in the car on the way here.
Say what?
That we could get together.
Forget about dating or being colleagues.
As Han Yu Ri and Jun Eun Ho,
we could casually get to know each other.
When it comes to couples,
that kind of relationship can't be casual.
As our client said earlier, it comes with a responsibility.
So I decided...
marriage won't play a part in my life.
Deciding not to marry...
is different from not dating, don't you think?
You can date even if you're against marriage.
Sorry, Mr. Jun.
I'd like this...
to be...
the last time we touch on the topic.
And to me,
finding my place is more important.
What does that mean anyway?
You studied and passed the exam to be a cool attorney.
This is our first year.
We're rookies...
with lots to learn that get chewed out every day.
We can help each other get through it...
in a way that betters us both.
Do I have to keep going?
Okay.
If you want to stay as friends, I get it.
Thanks.
But remember this.
I like you.
I'll...
find my own way back.
I have to come up...
with a plan for Ms. Cha by tomorrow.
We're in the middle of nowhere. I'll take you home.
No.
No. It's okay.
See you.
(To West Seoul)
- Is it not time yet? - No.
Silly me.
Let's sit down.
Come on.
Here you go.
There.
I'll sit here.
Goodness.
We're on time.
- Was that heavy? - Thanks.
- Is it 4pm? - Yes.
That's fine.
In my whole life,
I never stopped loving him, not even for a single day.
Not a single day.
What is love?
So what are my parents going to do?
- What? What do you mean? - Their divorce?
You said you wouldn't get divorced.
I gathered it to avoid a divorce.
I wanted to use the proof to stay married.
Is love...
the pain and torment somewhere in between love and attachment?
After time, if I keep this job...
Just let me divorce you.
I won't divorce her.
I will accept it.
I'll accept it too.
The lawsuit. I'll drop it.
All those people.
But remember this.
I like you.
And love. Will a day come when I understand?
(Law Firm Daejeong)
A bigamous common-law marriage?
Yes.
Attorneys are familiar with the notion,
but the public is not.
It will go massively viral.
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth?
Keyword for a keyword.
Ms. Han. Did you ever see something like this?
A living example...
of something you saw in the case studies.
Choi Sa Ra and Kim Ji Sang.
A bigamous common-law marriage.
When I read about it,
I thought such people didn't exist.
But they're under my nose.
A bigamous common-law marriage...
Kim Ji Sang and Choi Sa Ra...
brought up "office husband" to go viral in a way...
that would harm your image.
So we should do the same and bring up...
"bigamous common-law marriage?"
Yes.
Obvious words like "affair" and "cheating"...
might cause a brief stir, but they're easily forgotten.
Legal terms appeal to...
the public's intellectual curiosity as well.
I like it.
I think it would be best if the reporter who wrote about...
the office husband wrote about this too.
Only then will people stop aiming fire at you.
You're pretty good.
I should send you out of town sometimes.
What?
Ms. Cha. Can you please not?
So Kim Ji Sang really did...
have an affair with the secretary?
You know the number of hits means more than the facts.
Plus, what reporter can stick only to the facts?
Even if you can't stick only to the facts,
shouldn't you report facts too...
so you can stick around instead of going down as a piece of trash?
(Attorney Han Yu Ri)
The article will come out before noon today.
Why didn't you come yesterday?
What? Yesterday?
I told you about the camp.
If Dad's not around, you should've come instead.
I was the only one who had neither parent there.
Right.
I'm sorry, Jae Hui.
Wasn't the helper there?
If she was, does that mean you didn't have to come?
No.
That's not what I meant.
I had some things to do yesterday.
Jae Hui.
I'll come to your English academy in the evening.
There's something I have to tell you.
I'm going to Sung Hui's in the evening.
Don't come.
Hey. Look at this.
"Cha Eun Kyung, bigamous common-law marriage?"
What does this mean?
Goodness.
What?
Does a bigamous common-law marriage mean...
- he went between the two? - The poor woman.
She's not poor. She's a lawyer.
Hey. Did you see the news?
- Isn't it crazy? - Let's go.
- What a mess. - Hello.
- Hello. - Morning.
- Hello. - Hello.
Good morning, Mr. Jung.
What's going on?
Take a look.
(Official statement on attorney Cha Eun Kyung)
(Cha's husband is in a bigamous common-law marriage.)
(Divorce and alimony suit ongoing)
(Currently feeling not just pain but social responsibility as well)
(Show monitor)
I'm outside the family court...
where Cha Eun Kyung, the role model of women in their 20s and 30s,
will come for the first hearing of her divorce trial.
People assumed she sued for divorce...
because her husband was having an affair,
and this morning,
Cha released a statement saying it was true.
Steel yourself.
I told you.
My divorce isn't just that. It's a show as well.
Okay. I understand.
Leave that childish expression in the car when you get out.
Okay.
How will a divorce lawyer look when she is getting divorced?
Cha's fans are somewhat looking forward to the spectacle.
(Court)
- She's here! - That's her!
- Great. - She's coming.
Is that her lawyer?
She's coming out.
Ms. Cha, there was speculation and commotions,
and this is your first hearing.
How does it feel?
People are wondering...
if you both cheated.
Could you put the records straight?
What does your attorney have to say?
I don't want to fight in front of the whole country.
I sincerely request you respect our privacy and boundaries.
However, I want my case...
to serve as a good precedent...
for those who suffer at home.
In other words, I'll do my best...
to leave a judicial precedent that will benefit others.
Everyone's talking about...
bigamous common-law marriage.
Could you define the term for us?
Leave that childish expression in the car when you get out.
Could you explain?
A bigamous common-law marriage...
is when one who is legally married...
lives with someone else...
and forms a common-law marriage.
It's a common-law marriage...
not protected by law.
- You mean... - Yes.
That's right.
It's having two families.
When did you find out your husband was seeing someone else?
Ms. Cha, Jae Hui vanished after the break after the first class.
Choi Sa Ra!
(Good Partner)
The defendant raised her so far,
so the defendant should get custody.
Custody was the main argument.
It looks like Ji Sang is actually thinking of taking Jae Hui.
We'll live here? The two of us?
Don't I get a say?
Did you see Kim Jae Hui?
I didn't say much.
Jae Hui asked how I knew her dad.
You irked me in a way you shouldn't have.
