[Episode 1]
[Year 1999, Daegu]
That's the prettiest one. Don't you know?
- What'd you say? - What'd you say?
Hello. This is eighteen-year-old student Lee Sung Park from Dalseo-gu.
I'm making this announcement because there's a girl I have a crush on.
[First: Pretty Face Contest] [Name: Kang Joo Eun]
[Wish: To speak in the Seoul dialect] Her name is Kang Joo Eun.
What did he say?
How much of a beauty this high schooler is...
Kang Joo Eun, again?
He offers this message to our Venus, Ms. Kang Joo Eun.
She will get on this bus soon...
- She's so intelligent - You think that's all?
- and she's so charismatic. - Duh!
She makes me lovesick.
- I like her so much I could die. - All right, I'll lay down!
Every day, on the bus ride to school
Hey, she's getting on!
Move over!
Daegu's Venus, sighted!
48 kilograms... at 170 centimeters!
Chest size, 36?
Are you out of your mind, Kang Joo Eun?
Are you really human?
What the hell did she grow up eating?
- It's probably because she doesn't eat! - Shut it!
These are measurements that a kid should have!
- Yeah! - I said, shut it!
Life is so unfair, so what's the point of studying?
- Yeah! - Exactly!
Hey!
Hey, Kang Joo Eun.
Your name is written on the wall outside of the front gates.
Damn it...
[I love you]
Don't you know that you write your love in pencil?
Listen up.
Take it.
Hey, you over there.
What?
Quit smoking. It'll stunt your growth.
Even... if it doesn't, quit anyway.
You could grow even taller.
What the hell?
A famous lady, Daegu's Venus.
Oh?
Pick that up.
Hey.
You think you can do whatever you want because everyone is so enamored by you?
Just pick it up, already!
"Kang Joo Eun," huh?
Yeah.
I'm Kang Joo Eun. What of it?
Just try and smoke here one more time.
Looks like you guys are in big trouble.
Stop being so heated about it.
Your ice cream is going to melt.
Let's go.
What's with him?
He wasn't smoking.
She's perfect!
Perfect!
Beautiful! Fantastic!
Your mother gave birth to you to become a Miss Korea.
No.
My mom only cares about my studies.
No, no, no.
I see no studiousness in your physiognomy.
So... I'm a really busy person.
Wait!
Don't you want to fix your life up a little?
I don't really have any issues with my life as it is.
Also...
My hair looks best in its natural state.
Then...
Oh... oh my god!
She doesn't want to be Miss Korea?
What are you going to be, then?
[Lawyer. I can do it.]
You can't get cold. Here.
- Okay. - Hey, Joo Eun...
For the finals, you just need to study from this.
- Hey. - Yeah?
You keep having to write these up because of me.
Hey... Joo Eun!
Writing is the lifeblood of studying, isn't it?
You're working so hard to get into law school
so this is all we can do for you.
Joo Eun.
I specially prepared the foreign language section after visiting the States.
I wish someone else could've helped me with it, though...
It's supposed to be absolutely quiet.
Your aspiration is to become a lawyer...
Ms. Kang Joo Eun, who graduated from Joo An Elementary, Joo An Middle School
and now attends Joo An Girls' High as a second year.
Yeah.
I'm Kang Joo Eun.
What of it?
You know me, right?
What, am I supposed to?
I guess you're some great figure then.
Are you mentioned in any textbooks?
We're only up to the Joseon Era at school, you see.
Exactly where are you featured?
I'm featured in newspapers.
Why not read one, for a change?
The recent ones!
I'm on the national team for swimming
and I competed in the international championships on the youth national team!
And I just got back from that!
Oh, I'm sorry.
I should've gotten you flowers or something.
I'm from Seoul.
Don't joke with me.
The internationals were in France this year.
That's not it... isn't it your wish to speak the Seoul dialect?
I came all the way from Seoul to scout you.
Did you see the article in CeCe?
Only girls read that magazine.
Your dimples are pretty.
Geez...
Others would think you were trying to win me over
while acting like you're teaching me the Seoul dialect.
I'm pretty sure that this won't happen again.
Because, for a guy, he only has one first love.
Kang Joo Eun!
Starting from today, you're my first love.
Learning the Seoul dialect is really difficult, you know.
It'll probably be as difficult as becoming a lawyer.
No, it won't.
I'm Kang Joo Eun, who can do anything when I put my mind to it.
Then why don't you focus some of that energy on me?
[Seoul, 2014]
That's who I was.
I was Kang Joo Eun, who could do anything if I put my mind to it.
You're here, ma'am?
- Ms. Hyun Jung, some tea, please. - Yes.
Have a seat.
I thought that when I became a lawyer
my peace of mind would be guaranteed, but...
what a load of bullcrap that was.
Life is full of mountains that get higher and higher.
When you overcome one mountain, another awaits.
"Dreams come true" may be a correct statement, but...
It is correct, but...
The reality is, along the way, there were fewer clothes that fit me.
He's that swimmer, right?
But who's this woman next to him?
That is a swimmer.
His name is Im Woo Shik
and he's not only my first love, but he's been my boyfriend for 15 years.
And the girl next to him...
is me, all right?
Isn't this a situation where they felled into a trap?
You mean, "fell..."
It's their fault, so why are they trying to blame it on me?
There's nothing that lasts forever in this world!
And definitely not life or women, that's for sure.
Men are all the same that way.
They like pretty things, and like it more if they're pretty and young.
Isn't that right?
Well... the possibility of that being true is high, yes.
Is he an amateur?
Who would leave behind evidence of their adultery, nowadays?
He was getting hit with all sorts of things in this divorce
so he's trying to come off strong!
If that's the case, the other party is being a bit too much.
I know! Exactly!
Oh, yeah.
Is the law against adultery being abolished, now?
Um... I'm not asking because it has anything to do with me, of course.
I'm not a congresswoman, so...
Well, the husband was stolen by a hot young thing
and didn't even get any consolation money.
Geez... I should've used an expensive lawyer.
Um...
So--
Yes. That hot young thing is me.
They're trying to sue me, but I'm not going down without a fight.
Through any means necessary.
Reputational damage, insults, human rights violations
making their private life public... do whatever you need to do.
As for settling with them... never.
I'll contact you after I've looked over the materials.
Um... but...
the other side has things they're angry about as well
so it'd be best for you to think this over one more time.
You've misjudged me.
I'm not the type of person to think things over.
Please win this case for me, no matter what!
If you eat a lot of sweets, you'll get more stressed out.
I don't think you're aware of that.
No. It helps me relieve stress.
What are you talking about?
Don't you get stressed out about the fact that you're getting fatter?
Your plants are all dying.
They're...
not dead yet.
Water them a bit.
Wow. I almost slapped her...
Reputational damage? Human rights violations?
What the hell have they been doing?
Geez... ma'am!
The person who was having an affair with her is the President's close friend.
Ms. Hyun Jung.
Do lawyers really have to do things like this?
It's because you're a lawyer that you're doing it.
Don't you know how the President can be?
I know, right?
Is it okay for a lawyer not to know what even a secretary knows?
President.
If you don't want to be overheard, why not be more cautious next time?
That's not it...
Ms. Kim Mi Ji's case is a bit... wrong.
Oh... wrong?
Wrong, eh?
You're at that again?
What a ridiculous thing to be saying at a law firm!
You're always going off about wrongness
and lawyers' morals and the lawyer's way.
Geez... listen up, Lawyer Kang!
If the world revolved around those ideologies
there would be no need for lawyers!
Putting that aside...
even so, I'm a lawyer.
I can't allow the wronged to be even more wronged!
Why, I never!
You can't pick and choose your clients!
Lawyers are just purveyors of law services!
Geez... I've told you this time and time again!
As for your dreams and hopes, use your fee for that nonsense.
Don't be like this when you're taking others' money!
Make this case your priority and take care of it!
President.
- President! - Ma'am!
You said you still have 14 months until you pay off your loan!
"Do you know why the past is so important to us?"
"Because it serves as a lesson for us."
Wow.
No matter how you look at it, this is...
Getting your desk moved as punishment.
Ms. Kang. Let me know whenever you want to start being a practicing lawyer.
I'd be more than happy to oblige your request.
[Los Angeles, 2014]
Hollywood's biggest troublemaker, Anna Sue.
Yet another scandal.
The girl is crazy. She's a problem.
A problem.
Yes, Jeffrey. Well, let's talk about this as we go through this paparazzi footage.
Before Jennifer Anderson met the secret trainer, John Kim
she was lost in anxiety.
But he turned her into a queen of queens
and sent a hopeful message to women all over the world.
The very John Kim, the hero of Stella Show
is now engulfed in a scandal.
The person on the other end? It's Anna Sue.
Hollywood's infamous troublemaker with a merciless tongue and marijuana issues.
Sources say John Kim is an Asian man in his thirties, and that's all we know.
You know, I'm really hoping for the couple...
John Kim, he's such a great guy, and you know
we all want to root for his relationship.
Shame on Anna Sue.
[Anna Sue]
This is something I found out after I became a lawyer, but...
the work that lawyers typically take on are cases like these.
For the sake of a client, who caused the trouble
a lawyer is forced to prepare the defense.
And, as such, the one who takes on that role is me.
I bet you're wondering, "Why hasn't she gone on a diet?"
Something like that?
I tried methods that an influential blogger mentioned.
Bananas. Cabbages.
And even plain tofu.
It was too much, and I experienced side effects.
Another actress' method that I'd heard of was...
Do you have wild berry tea?
No.
Oh.
- Pass. - You don't, huh?
And a tip I saw in Glamour Sexy Style...
Taking a peaceful bath twice a day.
And of course, the best method for dieting that everyone is aware of...
A method among methods.
Sufficient sleep and consistent exercise.
Sufficient sleep...
And above all else, a peaceful heart.
Yes.
Please continue.
"Yes, keep blabbing... this isn't my issue anyway."
Is that what you're saying?
No, that's not it...
When your diet fails
an annoying figure makes a reappearance in your life.
This damn yoyo dieting... seriously!
A yoyo diet.
[Joo Eun and Woo Shik's 15 year anniversary]
[My Woo Shik]
Where are you?
You're not finished yet?
Your dimples are pretty.
[My Woo Shik]
Yeah? What is it?
I have something to talk to you about.
I know.
And I know where.
Okay.
I'm not getting on one knee.
If you did, I would've taken it off.
It was an expensive ring, so that's a relief.
What date is it, today?
Today? October 23rd.
Then today's our first day.
30 carat, my ass.
It's not like I'm Elizabeth Taylor or something.
I'm just being a friend!
If it's been 15 years, that bastard Woo Shik should do at least that much.
You think he'd do that?
Wow.
Fine. Let's just say your age can't be helped.
What about your weight, though?
Hey. How many times have I told you?
I'm going for that Western big glamour style look.
My ass... you're just making excuses for getting fat.
Other people may see the situation and think that
a divorcee is jealous of me.
A successful businesswoman divorcee, jealous of an old spinster?
What kind of world do you think we live in?
Well, this old spinster's getting proposed to today.
Stop ruining my good mood. Bye.
Don't be too excited, now.
Your heart expanded with your body, I guess... why are you so emotional?
I said, bye!
Anyway, accept it if you will, but don't overdo it, all right?
Oh no!
It looks like it fell in.
Here, use mine.
What?
No, that's okay.
It looks brand new.
It's okay.
I have a lot of them, so...
Then... thank you.
Black is slimming.
However, it doesn't make you slim.
Damn it all.
I'm here.
Oh, you are.
I thought you said you didn't have time to text because you're so busy.
What's this?
No matter how busy I am, I need to do what I need to do.
Today's our 15 year anniversary.
So that's why I couldn't reach you... because you were preparing this.
Excuse me.
What are you doing? You're embarrassing me!
Thanks for...
the last fifteen years together.
Then today's our first day.
It was an expensive ring, so that's a relief.
That's the embodiment of my feelings.
Take it.
Why are your feelings...
in here?
I'm really sorry, Joo Eun.
So... why are your feelings in here...
- instead of on your finger? - Joo Eun.
And what's this?
I felt like too much of a bastard today as it is.
- That's why... - So?
You thought if you wined and dined me and gave me some flowers
you'd be less of a bastard?
Stop messing around and give me the ring.
At least... accept my sentiment of wanting to
take care of you on our 15th anniversary!
I'm sorry, Joo Eun!
What the hell are you saying?
Are you out of your mind?
Have you gone mad?
Why are you saying, "I'm sorry" when you should be saying, "Marry me?"
Joo Eun.
- We... - Shut up.
- Joo Eun, I-- - I get it, so shut up.
Just what do you get?
The meaning behind this ring.
And...
the feeling behind you returning this ring to me.
I know what a difference there is between
the man who gave me this ring and the one who's returning it now.
I get it!
But, Woo Shik...
I'm so tired today.
So let's do this later, okay?
Hey, hey. Kang Joo Eun!
Please!
We broke up and got back together again and again for the last 15 years.
I don't know if you've forgotten
but I'm Kang Joo Eun.
And I, Kang Joo Eun, am your first love.
So... you can't just break up with me with a simple notification.
You wanted to take care of me on our 15th anniversary?
And what have you been doing up until this point?
Congrats.
Joo Eun!
Among all the laws I'd memorized...
is there one that can protect me from this situation?
All may be equal before the law
but in front of the mirror...
such is not the case.
Drinking Raspbel will make you skinny!
You can't give up on your life
just because you've faced hardships and failures.
Will you give up on your life as a woman
just because you got older or gained weight?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a woman who was reborn.
Forget the past!
She is no longer the woman whose marriage failed
or who wrecked her life with drugs and alcohol.
Now, I give you...
the reborn queen of queens...
Jennifer Anderson!
Now, who would've thought this to be possible in the past?
God created Jennifer and John Kim perfected her.
You look beautiful!
John Kim helped you reclaim the past that you'd lost.
This is what we know about John Kim.
Faceless John Kim.
What makes us so moved by him?
And who could he be, really?
Raise your hands in front of you!
Loosen your shoulders!
Good work.
Move.
One, two!
Good!
Hey, Hyun Woo.
Hi! Are you at the airport?
You still have time, right? Can you get something at the duty-free shop?
- I must be out of my mind. - You slept in, didn't you?
If you do go to the airport, buy me some eye cream at the duty-free shop.
I'm hanging up!
Eye cream! Not ice cream, all right?
Ice cream is the thing you like so much.
Hello?
Joo Eun.
Speaking of which, I wonder how it went last night.
Is that why she overslept?
Lawyer Kang.
Go on a business trip to the States.
Over the weekend.
I'm coming! We're here!
Young Ho.
- Hey, I will go wash up. - Sure.
Young Ho, the steak is getting burnt.
- Turn it over. - Turn it over.
It's over.
Akira has improved a lot.
The sweet potato is getting burnt.
- Turn it over. - Turn it over.
- When is your flight? - It's an evening flight.
Oh my God, Anna Sue!
Not denying nor admitting to the scandal.
The rumor about her romance.
What do we do, Young Ho?
Wow, they do look perfect.
They sure look good together.
We have a problem if they find it out.
Gosh, they do whatever they like, huh?
Those who leave a trail need to be blamed.
Those who sensed it shouldn't be blamed.
What are you going to do?
I first need to figure out who is going to hear about this last.
- Anyway, it's my work to deal with... - No, no, no.
It's not your work, but a scandal.
- Seriously. - Seriously.
Hello?
Yes, I'm the manager for Korean Snake.
How about your luggage?
I already had some shipped and I've packed my carry-on luggage.
At a time like this...
Please take care of yourself.
You worry about me when you're the one who is in danger?
I agree.
You're not young anymore and your opponent is very young.
You know that, right?
Don't you want to come visit me before the game?
Including sponsorship and coaching...
I've made you the champion.
You don't seem happy now.
I'm trying to be cute.
All right then. Let's have a match, shall we?
[Manager Min]
Hi, Manager Min.
What?
It's not bad...
All right, then.
He was just calling to say hi, but I have a bad feeling.
Did they find it out in Korea?
If that were the case, they would have come after me or kicked me out.
If you're trying to be cute, you're dead.
Gosh, do they think America is Gyeonggi-do Province?
They want you to come back right away?
Your boss is very consistent about being a jerk, huh?
My stomach has been bothering me.
- I might have an upset stomach. - It's good.
That way, you will lose some weight.
Those pills must be working.
I'm very gassy.
I'm not feeling well.
It's better than being overweight.
I'm saying it's okay.
I'm just very curvy.
Then you can live in America where it's full of curvy women.
By the way, how did it go with Woo Shik?
Did he give you a ring? How big is it?
He gave me something outrageous.
I will tell you when I come back.
That's right. Miss Attorney.
- Shall I come pick you up? - Don't bother.
As for your eye cream, lotion for Min Joon's eczema
and a scarf for his grandma...
I won't forget them.
I'm hanging up.
You're in America, right? Call me when you get back.
Did Min Joon go on a school trip?
Couldn't you send me some pictures?
It's next week.
You're very interested in what your ex-husband is up to, huh?
Of course, it's where the child support comes from.
Would my ex-wife know John Kim?
Our country has very good Internet service.
Even my customers talked about it.
Good producers should know how to pick a topic that would interest the public.
He's amazing there.
Look at that! Who are they? What's the truth?
He's only asking questions, not giving us any facts.
These days, there are no facts in the news.
I will go.
Just wire transfer it.
Are you proud of being divorced to carry around child support money?
Is the money for child support a bill to pay?
[Champion from an orphan! Korean Snake!]
Let's go.
Who would think you go to Harvard University?
What? I always wear this shirt that says Harvard.
Exactly. Want to put it in the trunk?
No.
I'm cold on the plane.
- Ah, I'm hungry. - We will grab something on the way.
Thank you.
Hey, ma'am. We were destined to meet.
- Pardon? - Destiny.
Oh, nice face.
Thank you.
- Oh my. - It's okay. I'm a gentleman.
I don't know how to thank your friend.
This is an expensive seat.
It's okay. We wanted you to be comfortable.
Thank you very much.
- May I? - Thank you.
You scared me.
Stop, stop! Win!
Korean Steak?
No, Korean Snake, Jang Joon Sung.
He's the champion.
I see, Korean Snake, huh?
Are you an athlete?
Um... I'm his manager and trainer.
It makes it uncomfortable to say this about myself.
I'm sort of famous.
When are you coming?
I want to see you...
You're in America, right? Call me when you get back.
Excuse me, can I have one more blanket?
I will bring it right away.
- Take this one. - It's okay.
I will be okay too.
Here you go.
Then I will use it for a little bit.
Actually, you look cute in the fur.
Our flight is passing through turbulence.
Our plane is shaking, so please return to your seat for your safety.
This is your captain speaking...
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Ladies and gentlemen.
We have an emergency patient on the plane.
If you're a medical professional, please let the flight attendant know.
Gosh, I was going to surprise him.
- Hey, Young Ho. - It's good you're surprised.
You can't take off your seatbelt. Our plane is...
Where is the patient?
Why are you suddenly going to Korea?
It's the place where they won't bother to look.
Ma'am, are you okay?
- Young Ho. - Ji Woong.
Young Ho, how are you here?
- Did you see what she was eating? - What?
Nothing much.
- She had coffee and took some pills. - What kind of pills?
- It hurts. - Well...
- How did you get on the plane? - Hurry.
Okay. She had coffee and took pills.
And wine...
I don't know. Just save her.
What should I do?
Including IV and a hot pack, bring everything you have.
I will.
This old lady...
No, does this lady have a bag?
Here it is.
Ah, it hurts.
Please save me. Save me.
I need to move her.
But it may be hard for me to carry her.
- About a stretcher... - Joon Sung.
- Should I carry her on my back? - No, you might hurt your back.
It's better to just carry her together.
- I will count to three, okay? - Sure.
One, two, three, go!
Do it again. Here we go.
One, two.
You can't come in here. I'm sorry.
Young Ho, good luck!
Please take care of the lady.
- Go back and fasten your seatbelt. - Okay, let me know if you need anything.
I informed the pilot that we have a medical emergency.
- Go stand up with a blanket. - Pardon?
- I need to take off her clothes. - I see.
This is an emergency, okay?
What is this thing?
I need to slap here.
Gosh, this is not working.
This will sting a bit.
- Can you hold this? - Sure.
Okay.
- Joon Sung. - Yes?
Hurry.
She may have experienced a shock.
Her body temperature is very low.
Oh my!
Who are you?
Where am I?
We're still up in the air.
We're not in Heaven.
Who did this to me?
Your way of saying "thank you" sounds different.
Well...
If you put this in, can you take it out?
How long will you press my hand?
Excuse me. What if the bleeding doesn't stop?
Despite how you look, you care deeply about your body, huh?
No, you should stay down.
You're not wearing much as I cut off a lot of your clothes.
Pardon?
Excuse me, but I'm just so curious.
Why did you do that?
What do you mean?
You got on the plane intoxicated.
You had caffeine and even took sleeping pills.
Ah, about that...
You even took diet pills that are not clear about the components.
Even the abdominal belt...
Oh my, how could you look underneath my clothes?
You even went through my bag?
It's not very polite, especially when we just met.
You know the reason you're in first class is that you had an emergency, right?
You weren't responsive to my questions.
I had to refer to your bag for the answers.
It was impolite when we just met, you know.
It's shocking, indeed.
I didn't mean that I wasn't going to thank you.
Shall I just open that window and get out?
By any chance, did I save someone who wanted to die?
What did you say?
If it's not true, why would you do all that to your body?
You had an empty stomach on a plane.
If I'd wanted to die, would I have taken some mysterious diet pills?
- You seem married, no, single. - Oh my.
If you want to lose weight, sweat it out.
Don't starve, take some mysterious pills, or wear an abdominal belt.
I appreciate you saving my life.
But I don't want you to criticize my personal life.
You're the first woman whose clothes I took off five minutes after meeting.
I was way too comfortable. I agree.
I folded your abdominal belt in your bag.
Wow, I'm so grateful.
I shouldn't be billing you for emotional damage.
You saved my life after all.
By the way, it's not an abdominal belt, but a corset.
I see.
I had never torn off such a thing before.
- I'm sorry. - Don't mention it.
I really want to repay your kindness.
I wish there was a way to do so without having to face you.
Excuse me.
If that's how you feel, there is a way.
What is it?
He didn't come out?
- What happened? - We were just informed, so...
We did confirm the list of the passengers.
All passengers are supposed to exit this way.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
No, it is confirmed that he arrived.
We will look into it further and report to you.
To the emergency room at Seoul Hanmaum Hospital.
I should've opened the door and gotten out of the plane earlier.
Honey. Oh, honey.
Hang in there.
I'm pretty sure that this won't happen again.
Because, for a guy, he only has one first love.
You're in America, right? Call me when you get back.
When are you coming? I want to see you.
As of today, you're officially my first love.
Your luggage? It didn't come from the airport yet.
Wait, excuse me!
Excuse me, but I can't help being curious.
Gosh, who was I talking to?
Excuse me!
Do you want to go back to the hospital, by any chance?
Get in then.
Do you want me to get out and open the door for you?
It might be safer than being out on the street here.
Enter your destination.
- Wear your seat belt. - Ah.
I will start the guidance...
I thought the other day was the worst day of my life.
It turns out it wasn't.
Today is the worst day of my life.
Are you being this way because I asked you to take the ambulance?
- It's because-- - I'm sure you have your reasons.
I'm not asking you to understand.
I happen to have my reasons too.
- Don't think that I'm so weird. - I won't.
By the way, make sure you go see a doctor soon, if not today.
Your body temperature is too low for your size.
This is me.
Well...
It will be good enough for the ride if we can say our final goodbyes now.
You won't give me a chance to thank you, huh?
Anyways, sorry about the trouble.
This will be the last time we see each other. Bye.
Gosh, it's all wet.
If I set my mind to it
I was Kang Joo Eun, who was able to do anything.
I was like that...
Excuse me, wait up.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Don't kill me. Please don't kill me.
You always ask me to save you every time you see me.
You're not going to thank me, either.

The abdominal belt I tore off yesterday...
I said it was a corset. Corset!
You're hard of hearing, aren't you?
I'll introduce Oh Soo Jin.
- She is such a chubby girl. - Kang Joo Eun?
John Kim? Are you sure you're John Kim's...
Did you just stick your tongue out at my palm?
Just know that I'm not happy about this situation.
- Stay away. Stay away. - Joo Eun.
She said stay away.
