Yeah, Seong Shik.
Let's move to another place. They've found out my location!
Sunbae...
You remember the vacation house your family went to?
Turn right at the fishing location intersection—

Episode 1- We got clues on the Kang Seok Pil case. Detective Kim.- Yes.
Send our guys to the Prosecutor's office to get a statement. Detective Lee!
Hurry up and eat! One, two...
Our team can back you up. I have six guys.
If it's this much, wouldn't this be of help to you?
This is a case that my dad's investigated for over a year. I've been working on this case for over two months.
Don't try to snatch credit for it; just help us wrap up.
Nine! Ten!
Yeah, Mom. I'm now...
Your dad ran away again. Gosh, this man, who isn't afraid of anything,
really hates peeling garlic.
He ran out before dawn because of the garlic and hasn't called me back since.
What is the motive of this murder?
Do you have an accomplice?
Was it because of a personal grudge?
Please give us a comment!
Was it because of a financial problem? Please give us a comment.
You don't have any accomplice?
Dad.
If you get in touch with your dad,
tell him I've done all the garlic so he can come home and at least eat. Okay?
Yeong Joo. Yeong Joo?
Supreme Court of Korea, Southern District Court
Supreme Court Justice: Jang Hyeon Gook
Here you go.
Within all of Korea's civil servant positions, the prefix "Dae" is only used in three titles. Southern District Court: Judge Lee Dong Joon
President, High Judge, and Supreme Court Justice.
The person you're judging today is a Supreme Court Justice's son-in-law.
So judge leniently. Please take the easy route.
A judge can't take the easy route.
In order to punish those who try to take the easy route,
the country is providing me this robe and my salary.
This is the look of admiration. This is the look of worry.
Yes?
Thirty years ago, I used this room.
The daughter I had then will soon become a mother.
Giving birth to her child, taking care of herself afterwards... She needs her husband through all that.
I read judicial precedent. In his case, a suspended sentence would-
We make new precedent as we go along.
Are you planning to sentence my son-in-law to a prison term?
I will answer you in a court of law through my ruling, Supreme Court Justice.
The Court finds Hwang In Ho guilty of embezzlement
according to the Additional Punishment Law on Specific Economy Crimes
and sentences him to 7 years of prison, which is the maximum penalty allowable by law
and 24 billion won in fines.
The defendant Hwang In Ho, in the course of deliberately forcing small and mid-sized companies out of business,
threatened the employees' right to exist and committed embezzlement.
Therefore it makes a severe sentence inevitable.
Your father's Han Kang Hospital has several medical malpractice cases pending before the Supreme Court.
Father
I had dinner with your father last night.
He is someone who speaks the same language as I do.
If you just change your mind, even the hospital's problems...
Because everyone keeps having a change of mind,
Call Reject
the world is not changing, Supreme Court Justice.
Additionally, because I have a deep concern that the defendant may destruct evidence with no remorse,
defendant Hwang In Ho
should remain in the court's custody.
Dad.
Dad, what's going on? Honey!
Dad, do something! In Ho, what do I do?
It was revealed that Sin Chang Ho, a criminal with two prior convictions, was having difficulty making a living with an irregular income.
The police believe the motive for murder was a grudge arising from a financial relationship.
The defendant and the victim Kim were senior and junior at SBC. (Banner: Murder Suspect Arrested in Paju)
- What is it? - We were watching.
Yeongpo Police Station. Chief of Detectives Sin Yeong Joo.
Protecting his conscience until the end of the broadcast station on site strike becomes a prior conviction and the belief that he should protect his news sources becomes a prior conviction.
That made him have two prior criminal convictions, my dad.
Yeong Joo. After the investigation results are strengthened, let's submit it through an official line.
If Dad's case will leave our hands tomorrow. It'll be transferred to the prosecutor's office.
Hyeon Soo, will you teach me?
It's a mere murder case but headquarters is intervening. The route of crime and the evidence have been fabricated.
If there's another way to save my dad, will you teach me?
Arriving near the fishing location in Paju, for the murder of Kim Seong Shik...
we assume...
I am Sin Yeong Joo, Chief Detective of Section 1.
The suspect Sin Chang Ho is my father.
These are pictures from a trip that my family and Kim Seong Shik's family took together last month.
In other words, in the absence of a grudge relationship, there is no murder motive.
Sin Chang Ho was managing a podcast and tracing the defense-related corruption.
Kim Seong Shik was trying to turn over the relevant evidence which was prohibited to expose by SBC policy to my father.
There are no other suspects in addition to Sin Chang Ho.
There is. The culprit is someone who will benefit.
Tae Baek. This is our country's biggest law firm.
There are 800 staff attorneys.
It's a large law firm with more than 100 on an advisory board
from a prior prime minister to members of the National Assembly.
Tae Baek is devoted to defending everyone associated with the arms procurement and acquisition-related corruption.
The head attorney Choi Il Hwan has hired as a consultant an executive official from a defense contractor
who was imprisoned for corruption and released.
While Choi Il Hwan felt threatened by Kim Seong Shik and Sin Chang Ho's news coverage...
All right.
Hand over the evidence to the investigation team. They'll investigate.
Tonight, after JBC broadcasts it,
I'll hand it over to the investigation team.
You're saying you leaked investigation information?
That's an act of insubordination. It should be rooted out!
Rather than worry about how investigation information was leaked,
first we need to confirm if the investigation information is true or not.
This investigation...
you'll have to start from the beginning, Chief.
Reporter Kim's funeral went well.
I accompanied the mourners to the grave.
The meeting we set up with the groom's family this week...
I postponed it.
Hyeon Soo said that he talked it over with his folks.
I'm touching the Tae Baek law firm.
Yeong Joo.
The Korean submarine project, the helicopter...
to body armor.
For any corruption in the defense industry, they must have Tae Baek behind them.
If you will hand over the material you've collected, I will strengthen it...
If you give me the case information, I'll do the investigating. You do your own work.
This is my work! I'm a police officer too.
Seong Shik is gone.
Those bastards even killed someone.
Yeong Joo, I'm scared.
I'm afraid you'll get hurt.
Dad.
Well, the results are out from National Forensic Service.
We found Sin Chang Ho's DNA on Kim Seong Shik's body.
That's because my father tried to take the victim out of the water.
Bloodstains were discovered in Sin Chang Ho's clothing.
Let's go.
There is no motive for murder. Accusing him for a murder is over-reaching!
The motive is about debt payment. Last October, 30 million won was transferred from Kim Seong Sik's account to your father's.
Oh, how can an educated man killed someone for 30 million?
Get up.
I'll be out soon. They can magnify things I've done wrong, but they can't make up sins I haven't committed.
Tell your mother not to worry, and that I'll be out soon!
Operating the podcast without any particular income, Mr. Sin was beset with financial problems...
Unable to pay back the 30 million loan to his hoobae Kim, the accused Mr. Sin allegedly murdered Kim because his inability to repay the debt.
After Mr. Sin impulsively killed Mr. Kim, because he was pressed for repayment of his debt,
the defendant called in to report himself.
Mom, please find Dad's savings account book. It's a fabrication. You know Dad.
He's the type of a person who can't ask others for money.
I...
- Mom. - I borrowed the money.
The landlord demanded to raise the security deposit.
But I couldn't use the money I had saved for your wedding.
If your father knew what I did, he would have blown up.
What should I do, Yeong Joo?
I borrowed that money for us to survive.
I caused your father to die.
What should we do?
Han Kang Hospital Director Lee Ho Beom
You don't bow to the people you should bow to.
I ruled in the case of the Supreme Court's Justice's son-in-law according to the law.
Your hospital's pending cases will also be judged based on medical law.
If you negotiate again using my position as a judge, according to the law I'll—
Sit down. You should sit so that Director Lee will sit too. (Head of the Tae Baek Law Firm, Choi Il Hwan).
I'm going to the Prosecutor's Office. I'm going to see the prosecutor.
Before the trial, you know you can't make contact with anyone connected to the case.
What do I do about my dad?
Yeong Joo, your father's court judge has been assigned.
Your father's judge is Lee Dong Joon.
He gave the chairman of Iljin Group a prison sentence and acquitted a conscientious objector for the military service.
He's the judge who imprisoned the Supreme Court Justice's son-in-law. If this is the man, Yeong Joo,
he will judge your father's case fairly.
Judge Lee Dong Joon?
You have been our family doctor for more than 20 years, right?
We've been like family.
I never thought we'd actually become family.
I'll pick a wedding date in spring.
May sounds good, right?
Our Dong Joon isn't someone I gave birth to myself, but he's like a real son.
I've been a real son to my father,
but we've never been a family.
After the wedding, you should work at Tae Baek for about 2-3 years
and then go to America for an MBA.
You need to get some credentials to hang on for the wall here.
I have no intention of becoming a member of your family.
Dong Joon.
At the age of 20, my name was added to the family registry, and I was accepted as family. If you get me as your son-in-law,
did you think I, without any background, would be easy for you to maneuver like your own hands and feet (meaning a puppet)?
That's right.
Did you think that having a judge with a good reputation as a son-in-law
would be of help to Tae Baek?
You're right.
And it would look good because you have a good reputation.
Since you have no background, controlling you will be easy as well.
There are no big trees (big shot) growing alone.
Anyway, knees are made to kneel.
If you bow to me, I'll give you the world.
Legal thief.
A legal thief means a thief who uses the law for his selfish benefit.
The people call Tae Baek Law Firm a legal thief.
I didn't learn the law in order to become a thief.
Can everyone live according to the law?
You need to learn the ways of life.
If you need a puppet, look elsewhere. I'm going to live as a judge.
Judges also have terms of office.
They get re-elected every 10 years.
In the last 30 years, there have been about three judges that weren't re-elected.
- Gi Yoong, I'm in the middle of... - There's a notice you are not being reappointed for being unqualified. What is this, Judge?
Isn't this a way to get rid of you?
Even if the letters of commendation wallpaper your office, to place a hat on someone, those bastards...
There might be four judges now who don't get re-elected.
Which judges are not reappointed due to disqualification will be determined within the personnel committee.
The chairman is Supreme Court Justice Jang Hyeon Gook.
This friend has chosen the target to be excluded from reappointment.
He's a type that forgets mercy easily, but won't ever forget an enemy.
The judge with principles who opposed the Supreme Court Justice will be eliminated from reappointment.
If you become my family,
people's point of view towards Tae Baek will soften.
I want to take the hand of my young friend who is mired in a swamp.
What do you think?
Will you take the hand of a legal thief?
Just take it. It's just a deal, after all.
I don't need a good husband. Just don't be annoying.
I hope you have a good wedding with a good business partner.
Dong Joon!
I am sorry, Chairman. After I scold him...
Is there a parent who can win over his kids?
Time will teach him, and the world will tame him.
Just like my daughter.
Court
Article 45, paragraph 2 of the Court Organization Act provides the grounds for disqualification from reappointment of judges.
Tell me. Which ground applies to me.
I'll let you know in a court of law, through my ruling. Just like you.
I shall appear before the personnel committee to present evidence.
If I lodge a protest to the committee that you are biased because of your personal feelings,
it will be very troublesome, Supreme Court Justice.
Rejection for Personnel Committee Convening
With respect to the request of Judge Lee Dong Joon for a convening of the committee
because of the busy schedule of the committee, we will replace a convening with document submission.
Also, while the defendant was participating in an illegal strike ten years ago,
even though the members of the union who were concerned about the debt ridden broadcasting station returned to their prior positions,
holding out to the end, he, an antisocial reporter, was fired alone.
Why?
Why were you the only one who did not return and got fired, Defendant?
Even though you were an outstanding city desk reporter?(City desk — the department of the newspapers dealing with financial and commercial news)
If you had accepted the company's offer, you might have become director of the newsroom by now.
It was a condition of management that I overlook the misappropriation of public funds.
That is false!
The defendant has been sued many times for defamation.
Defendant.
Defendant, don't you feel regret?
I think your life has been difficult after being fired.
That's what those punks want. For me to feel regret.
- I'm postponing the presentation of the defense case. - Judge.
Defense counsel for Sin Chang Ho, please supplement your submission of evidence and document.
I will take the time to review them.
This is Lee Dong Joon.
You're the owner of car 9970?
I'm sorry. There's been a minor fender bender.
Just give me your contact information. I'll let the insurance company—
I'm defendant Sin Chang Ho's daughter, Sin Yeong Joo.
I know. I can't contact court personnel related to the trial.
Let's abide by the rules. Submit any further evidence through the attorney.
Judge, my dad's gotten to this point by following the rules.
Kim Seong Shik's time of death was 5:10 AM.
This is my dad's phone log. At that time, he was on the state highway.
When he arrived at the fishing location, it was 5:40 AM.
30 minutes after the time of death—
The presumed time of death has an error factor of approximately an hour.
The cellphone records will have details...
The phone disappeared at the fishing location.
Dad fell into a swamp.
If you want to save Sin Chang Ho, you have no other choice but to get that cell phone as proof.
Finding proof is the prosecutor's job.
When did the world become one where the defendant has to prove his own innocence?
Analysis of the CCTV monitor records
It seems this is illegally obtained evidence from a CCTV on private property in the vicinity.
Please don't submit it.
Did I create the kind of world in which we have to hold hands to illegality
to prove innocence?
What do I do? This world's power and authority
all belong to the bad guys.
Even if I don't want to, I need to meet them. Because I need them.
I really need them.
I can't make a ruling with evidence I can't see.
However, I won't ignore the evidence I can see.
I'll give you that promise.
The world's power and authority all belong to the bad guys.
Even though I don't want to, I need to meet them. Because I need them.
If you bow to me, I'll give you the world.
Tae Baek
Minister? It's all ready.
Aigo, I apologize, Minister. The receptionist should have served drip coffee.
After spreading through the filter, the drip was made but it wasn't even half full?
I'll come get you in 10 minutes.
Song Tae Kon, head of secretary of Tae Baek
I sent one hundred dried yellow corvina to Justice Jang Hyeon Gook. You took off my clothing.
I heard he's trying to take off your clothes, which I've wanted to do. I think I will have to go greet him during national holidays.
Sunbae!
You are a judge and I am a sponsor prosecutor.
Talk to me comfortably.
To my knowledge, you're not a licensed attorney.
Even though I don't have a license, I do have awesome skills.
Song Tae Gon, Head of Secretary Tae Baek Law Firm
I went through a rough time because of your ruling.
Three years in prison, disqualified for ten years.
If you search the keyword "sponsor prosecutor," my name is connected as a search term.
I couldn't go beyond second place even for the bar exam but took first place for corrupt prosecutors.
Because of you, I even went through a divorce. Thank you, Dong Joon!
There are guys that try to record.
When they're thirsty, they come to drink here but when they leave here with what they needed, they spit on their way out.
He's been a judge for over 10 years.
You need to at least give our young friend a chance to speak.
Let's push back the personnel committee meeting date.
Is a week enough for you to prepare?
Alright, then let's set it for next week.
How did you know the reason I came?
Am I not a legal thief? For a gang of thieves,
in every village there is someone who will sell information.
Sit.
I appreciate the chance to attend the personnel committee meeting. Thank you.
I'm sorry to make you go to the personnel committee meeting.
I already told you that Justice Jang Hyeon Gook is the head of a personnel commission.
There are eight members of the personnel committee.
There won't be a ruling swayed by personal beliefs of Justice Jang Hyeon Gook.
Weren't you the judge in the tax evasion case of Attorney Lee Seong Min?
And didn't you sentence to prison Chairman Bae Jeong Man's daughter for school admission irregularities?
Those people are on the court personnel committee.
Ahn Chi Hyeong, Seo Gi Su, Choi Jin Gu,
Park Sang Jin, Kang Ji Woo, Jo Soon Ho.
Yes. I am well thanks to you.
Hwang Gyoo Baek, Lee Dae Myeong's father in the sexual assault of a caddie case
didn't you sentence him to the maximum sentence?
There are rules for the personnel committee. How could the committee be comprised of these people?
Evil is diligent.
Supreme Court Jang is a very diligent friend.
I got a call from your father, suggesting to book a date in the middle of May (for a wedding).
That he will persuade you.
Why? Why is it me?
Sit.
I wrote a ruling after a long time.
For the murder trial of Sin Chang Ho.
Seoul Southern District Court Decision of the Court
This trial, I will handle it.
You will just bang the gavel.
Is it this?
Is this the reason why you need me?
You underestimate yourself.
Does it look like I would negotiate terms over my trial?
I don't do these kinds of things!
Don't overestimate yourself, either.
Your disqualification from reappointment cannot be avoided.
Judge Lee Dong Joon, you've already fallen into the swamp.
Climb up here by stepping on Sin Chang Ho.
Oh, Dong Joon!
I'm happy to see you after a long time.
It will be even longer before I see you next time, Song Tae Gon.
Statement
Did you meet with the Supreme Court Justice on February 12, the day before I ruled in his son-in-law's case? Director Lee Ho Beom.
The Supreme Court Justice must have asked you to manipulate me to get a light sentence for his son-in-law
in exchange for appeasing the medical malpractice cases pending in the Supreme Court?
Please write me your statement with details of the conversation and the circumstances.
I need you, my father, right now.
Father.
My parents already are worried only about their daughter-in-law.
Whether you are eating regularly, or are not getting hurt again.
Thank you for the lie.
Mother-in-law dropped by.
When your father should be promoted to a principal and he is going to have a difficult time if my father is convicted of murder as his in-law, according to your mom.
Your mother asked me to break up with you.
Wait for me in the wedding hall. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I'll march in, holding my father's hand. (Meaning: let's postpone our wedding until my father is found innocent and released.)
On the day of the incident, it rained heavily. My father's cell phone could have floated down stream on the river.
The area is approximately 100,000 square meters, and there are 7,000 trees.
In case we two are searching for it...
I will make them find it.
Maybe the people who need the phone the most will find it.
There is a rumor that the doctor for the President of Korea will be changed soon.
The President's chief of staff and the chief negotiator are all Choi Il Hwan's people.
Get married.
When you become a member of Choi's family, your father will be placing his stethoscope on the country's president.
We'll be the first to know about the privatization of healthcare
and the support plan for medicine that he's pushing.
Father.
I need that kind of son, Dong Joon.
Quickly find it. [Dooseong Fishing Spot]
Yes.
- Hey, maknae (junior). - Yes? - Near the bottom. Near the bottom.
Toward the rocks, a bit, huh?
Find it before the sun sets!
Okay!
Tae Baek
The other way!
Yes?
Hey.
- I found it! I found the phone, Hyungnim! - Yay!
Good work.
Here it is.
Let's go.
Withdraw!
Here it is, Hyungnim.
Hey!
What is this?
Let's grab her.
Yeong Joo!
Get them!
Hope Nursing Home
- Hello. - Yes. Hello. - Did you come?
We heard that the NHS will come to review our documents.
So Chief, we should use other medicine, too.
Because if we use only health insurance approved medicine, it's only good for the patient.
National Health Insurance Corporation say we have requested an excessive amount of medical expenses and there's suspicion about us.
I just dropped by the National Health Service on my way here.
- Dong Joon. - I didn't visit as a judge.
The elders are trying to put a little money aside after bearing medical expenses from the elderly walfare
so that they can give allowances to their grandchildren. I just asked if it can be a sin to help these elders to save on medical expenses.
Just as a citizen.
What did they say?
They don't have anything to say.
So there will no evaluation (from NHS).
Ah. Let's go out.
Dong Joon, I wallpapered your room.
It bothers me that you live in a studio next to court. It worries me about heating of your room and skipping your meals.
If you stay by my side...
Mom.
I am not going to live here.
Because I appear before the personnel committee tomorrow,
if I appeal my qualification for a position with my ruling for the past ten years...
Your father called me.
I heard it most likely won't work.
He is talking about the marriage proposal for you. It must be from some kind of hotshot household.
Mom, as for me...
I told him this.
That I am thankful that my son didn't take after you.
Nearby here, start a small law firm.
Eat the food Mother prepares, and let's live together.
Court
2017.
We are here to hear Judge Lee Dong Joon's personal appeal for his disqualification of reappointment. Let it begin.
You haven't submitted the appeal documents yet. Do you want to submit them now?
I won't submit any evidence to appeal my case. I won't appeal for reconsideration of my case, either.
Your practice to keep silence can also be considered as a possibility of admitting the charges for which you have been accused.
In other words, it can mean you will accept your failure to be reappointed.
I mean that I won't accept the result ruled here by the ones who should be put on trial.
Everyone here has family members or relatives who had trials judged by me.
There are also some who are undergoing retrials.
If I were to take off my judge's robe, and be fired from my judge position,
I will return as a witness in everyone's retrials.
I will testify such things: In order to resolve his tax evasion case, what kind of deals Attorney Lee Song Ming offered me.
To cover up the admission irregularities for his daughter,
what Chairman Bae Jeong Man has suggested to give me.
Judge Lee Dong Joon, are you threatening members in the committee?
Whether you will leave me in my judge's seat, or make me appear in court as a witness for your trials,
please make a decision.
If you are arrested, do you think the judges will believe your testimony in court?
We have caught wind of the circumstances of your squelching the authority while they are reviewing the excessive health care costs from a nursing home run by your mother.
You had been to the NHS.
And, you used your power as a judge to exert coercion on the center's workers.
It was not coercion, but an inquiry.
All I wanted to do was to help the poor patients reduce their burdens of huge medical bills.
What you've said is your justification, but whether it will be accepted by the court as such, no one knows.
As soon as your failure for reappointment is finalized, the prosecutor's office will take you into custody for questioning on the charges.
You will be the first public official to be arrested for violation of the Kim Young Ran Act,
the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.
Judge Lee Dong Joon, you will be remembered by everyone for a long time as the disgrace of the judicial branch.
Court
This is Lee Dong Joon.
Judge, I'm defendant Sin Chang Ho's daughter, Sin Yeong Joo.
This is the recording that has been restored.
Sunbae!
Yes, Seong Sik.
Let's change the location. That gang knows this location already.
Make a right turn at the fishing place. Huh?
What happened? Seong Sik! Seong Sik!
Do you need another evidence other than this?
The evidence that proves my father wasn't at the scene when reporter Kim Seong Sik met his death.
Choi Il Hwan, Head of Tae Baek Law Firm
This is Lee Dong Joon.
The decision of the Supreme Court came out.
It's been confirmed that you are excluded from reappointment.
Even though I wasn't able to help you keep your judge's job, I can at least prevent you from having to wear prison attire.
Defendant Sin Chang Ho,
to that person, this is just the first trial.
There will also be the second trial, the third trial... Ministry of Justice.
But, as for your life, one trial is all it takes.
This case will probably be the last where you'll use the judge's gavel.
Will you use the gavel for Sin Chang Ho or for your own life?
You will be the first public official to be arrested for violation of the Kim Young Ran Act.
Judge Lee Dong Joon, you will be remembered by everyone for a long time as the disgrace of the judicial branch.
I will
do as you want.
You've said before that you'll not disregard any evidence you can see.
Judge, it's because I believe in your words that I'm here to look for you.
Sin Chang Ho's case, Final Hearing Day
On the morning of February 13, 2017, defendant Sin Chang Ho
became a suspect for the death of reporter Kim Jung Sik and was charged.
The prosecution charged murder under Criminal Act Article 250 paragraph 1.
The defendant's attorney argued that at the time of the crime, the defendant
wasn't at the crime scene, and requested a 'not guilty' verdict for the defendant.
However, the defendant's assertion is not confirmed by solid evidence,
and failure to pay his debt is enough to constitute a motive for murder.
Defendant Sin Chang Ho is convicted of murder and attempt to dispose the body under the Criminal Act and
is sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment.
I will refuse any garlands and the money gift from other people for my daughter's wedding.
A lavish wedding makes ordinary people feel deprived.
Depriving the working poor while they don't feel deprived
is what you'll do from now on.
There's no need for you to live on your own outside after the wedding.
I want you to live together in the house for a few years. There are things I'd like to teach you.
Director Lee... my in-law should like that.
He is going to become the VIP's personal doctor.
Completely erase how you've lived,
all your memories, all of your past.
Lieutenant Sin Yeong Joo leaked the investigation records to the press.
And we can acknowledge that she assaulted innocent people under the guise of gathering evidence.
I've retrieved the smartphone.
It was in that person's hand. It was what my father lost.
To the police, the prosecution, and everywhere in the court, there is no record of any evidence of a smartphone that you've submitted.
Section Chief Park Hyeon Soo went together with me.
He saw it. Section Chief Park Hyeon Soo.
I... was only there to prevent a rash investigation.
Hyeon Soo...
As a peer, I could not stop the excessive illegal investigation.
I am sorry.
Lieutenant Park Hyeon Soo is sentenced to 3 months' pay cut.
Lieutenant Sin Yeong Joo is dismissed.
That's all.
Police.
Sin Yeong Joo Yeongdongpo Police Station
Yeong Joo...
You have to survive, even if it is on your own.
Nothing would have changed if I had said we secured that smartphone.
- I didn't think we both had to be dismissed— - Were we only supposed to smile together in life?
I thought that you... would cry with me, Hyeon Soo.
I am sorry.
Five years as friends... Five years as lovers. "Sorry" seems too light.
Isn't that right?
Lots of Banchan
Yeong Joo, in your middle school graduation, you sure did receive a lot of awards.
I'm holding the honor roll award and your father is holding the superintendent of instruction's award.
The black bean noodles we ate back then was $1.50.
That was... That was 15 years ago.
