What's the emergency?
Did something happen?
Have a seat.
Here.
But why...
I really need you, Attorney Lee.
I can't find a lawyer as hardworking as you.
And no one can help me as much as you do.
And most importantly,
my father really believes in you.
Hold on. Take a breath, will you?
Excuse me! Two iced lattes, please.
Okay.
Okay, tell me everything slowly.
It makes me really uncomfortable
when you do things like this.
I have a son.
I'm also going through a divorce.
On the card for the flowers, you wrote...
Oh! This is over the card?
I was just joking around.
Joking around?
Yes.
I don't know anything about geraniums.
The florist said
something about the winds and whatnot.
So I tried to look cool and wrote a few lines.
What do geraniums represent?
Is it something strange?
Excuse me.
- Here. / - That's alright.
You didn't even drink these, so it's fine.
But still...
You didn't drink them. It's fine.
Well then, thank you.
I can't believe he really just left.
Please stop for a moment.
These pretty flowers will be ruined.
I'm sorry. I really am.
I'm sorry for adding to your troubles.
Better?
You shouldn't toy with people like this.
I don't have the wherewithal
to put up with your antics.
That wasn't...
You're making me uncomfortable.
Don't do this sort of thing ever again.
And take those flowers with you.
But this was a gift.
Oh, I know. How about this?
The flowers are a gift from you to me now.
What?
I like the sound of that.
I'll look at these when I get home each night.
Please give it back.
Yeonhui, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
But now you're soaked because of me.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Because I like having meals with you.
Come on. Let's have soup and rice.
Come on.
Well, then.
Have a great evening.
Love is...
- Bye. / - Okay.
Miranda's been acting awfully strange lately.
Right? I agree.
Ms. Lee! Ms. Lee?
She just left.
She did?
Well, that was quick.
I can't believe I only sold five drinks all day.
I must have been nuts...
Why did I get a loan to open this cafe?
I'm sorry. We're closed.
Professor, sorry I'm a bit late.
Wait, what are you doing here at this hour?
I'm here to help.
Why would you help me, Gonghui?
It's not like you're my employee.
Well, I'm more than that.
You and I have something special.
We slept together.
Can you stop bringing that up?
Don't you have any sense? Are you dumb?
Is it because I'm divorced?
Or because that cutie pie treats me like dirt?
Is that why you think I'm easy?
Professor, I...
Gonghui, for the sake of argument,
let's say we did sleep together. So what?
We literally just slept in the same room.
It's not like anything happened.
And even if something did happen,
I'm not obligated to you in any way.
Professor.
Please just leave.
I'm not in a good mood today.
Leave me alone.
You said you weren't like those clingy women.
So why are you being so clingy, huh?
Your sales were low again today, right?
Professor, you can do it.
Just do it!
Please stop acting like this!
Well, what I meant was...
I get it.
I get it completely.
I won't ever come back.
But I...
Man! I'm going nuts.
Are you sure you want to go alone?
I can come with you, if you want.
Maybe next time.
The trial will continue for a while.
I can't bear to see you upset when you come.
But Byeongguk's whole family will be there.
Even so,
it's not good for Jinwu to see
his family divided and fighting like this.
I'm sure Byeongguk feels the same way.
What? Don't come to court?
Today is Jinwu's testimony with the judge.
That's precisely why I should go.
Let's get ready to go.
Mother, please don't come.
What are you saying? Of course I should go.
If you come,
I'm sure you'll get upset and yell.
Do you want Jinwu to see that?
The lawyer also said you shouldn't come.
Byeongguk is right.
We all know your temper.
Do as the lawyer says.
You shouldn't come, either.
Being seen with you will work against us.
I'm still going.
You don't know your place, do you?
I can't even come, so why should you?
If you go,
people will criticize how
the mistress is involved.
Huija.
Don't listen to her.
You know how she is.
How much longer must I put up with this?
I have feelings, too.
How much longer must I be put down?
Dad, what's a mistress?
Ms. Lee, are you crying?
Yeah.
Why?
I feel sad and hurt.
Because of grandma?
Jinwu.
Will you...
Will you call me mom just one more time?
If you called me mom,
I don't think I'd be sad anymore.
Okay.
Mom, don't cry.
Okay, Jinwu.
Mommy won't cry anymore.
As long as you love me,
I can endure anything.
Huija, what are you going to do?
You haven't kicked her out,
yet you haven't accepted her as family.
I'm sure Hwayeong's stressed over this, too.
It doesn't concern me if she's stressed or not.
Regardless, the whole family was present,
including Jinwu.
Calling her a mistress was going overboard.
Well, if she can't handle it,
then she should move out.
That's all she needs to do.
I know. Sometimes the things she does
really make me hate her.
But at times, I feel bad for her, too.
At any rate, she's Jinwu's surrogate mother.
We had lots of other options for surrogates.
But still...
If she got pregnant with Byeongguk's child,
it'd be different. Why isn't she pregnant?
I would have no choice but to accept her,
even if I didn't like her,
if she had Byeongguk's child.
On top of that, she really cares for Jinwu.
Mom?
Yes, yes, my darling Jinwu?
Mom, are you going to live with me now?
Forever?
Promise me.
Jinwu.
You keep my barrette.
Okay, mom.
When you put this on,
you're the prettiest ever.
Jinwu.
I love you the best in the whole world.
I love you the best too, mom.
You're the best.
Okay! Give mommy a kiss!
Okay, kiss!
What are you doing right now?
Give it back! That's my mom!
Quiet. This isn't your mom.
Give it back! Give it!
You'd better listen to me. I said be quiet!
Give it back!
That's my mom!
No, that's my mom!
Shut up, Jinwu!
Did you think I'd put up with this forever?
I'm your mom.
You have no mom except me,
so you'd better stop crying. Stop it!
Ms. Lee.
I said I'm your mom.
Call me mom.
And you can have this.
This is your mom's clothes.
You have no other mom.
Your old mom left you, get it?
Promise me.
If you call me "Ms. Lee" one more time,
you're in big trouble. Okay?
Jinwu, why aren't you coming down?
What are you two doing?
I was just tidying up Jinwu's room.
Jinwu, mommy's off to work now.
Jinwu.
Jinwu, what's wrong?
What's wrong with him?
Why did he just wet his pants?
Jinwu, did Ms. Lee yell at you? Huh?
No?
Jinwu, what is it? Why are you like this again?
Jinwu!
Jinwu?
Jinwu!
Why isn't he coming down?
There you are, Jinwu.
Where's Hwayeong?
She just left for work. Why?
That girl...
I think it's best if you don't send Jinwu today.
The judge told us to bring him,
so he can hear his testimony.
But Jinwu seems a bit...
Don't be ridiculous. We have a trial to go to.
You'll be late. You should get going.
Okay. Bye.
Seoul Family Courthouse
Jinwu.
I want to ask you something.
Is that okay?
You're living with your dad right now, right?
Jinwu, do you miss your mom a lot?
Jinwu, do you want to live with your mom?
You must be very upset that
mom and dad had a fight, right?
I think that's enough for today.
Jinwu! Come to mommy.
Oh, Jinwu.
Jinwu.
Mommy's here. What's wrong? Come here.
Don't.
Can't you see Jinwu's taking this very hard?
Jinwu, mommy's sorry.
Is this because you hate me?
Come here, Jinwu. Come to mommy.
I said he's taking this hard.
Jinwu.
What's wrong? What happened?
Jinwu isn't himself.
Something's not right.
According to the evidence submitted,
Ms. Baek moved in with Lee Donghyeon and
was pregnant by him
before marrying Mr. Jeong.
Soon thereafter,
Lee Donghyeon died in a car accident,
and she gave birth to the child.
But she did not tell Mr. Jeong this
when they were engaged.
Also, according to the evidence,
Ms. Baek fainted on the day of her wedding
and was diagnosed with uterine cancer.
As a result, she required a hysterectomy
and became unable to bear children.
However, Ms. Baek still did not inform
my client of her past until recently.
Your Honor.
The uterine cancer and subsequent infertility
have scarred Ms. Baek for life
and remain a very painful subject.
Also, Ms. Baek's cancer and infertility have
no relation to her past with Lee Donghyeon.
I submitted such evidence from the OB-GYN.
It was uncalled for
to mention these things here.
It was immoral and cruel to do so.
There is a deciding factor
that the plaintiff believes
to be reason not to give
Jeong Byeongguk custody of Jeong Jinwu.
The defendant currently resides with
the woman he was having an affair with,
the woman who caused this divorce.
If you would like witnesses supporting that,
please let me know, as I will provide them.
Lee Hwayeong is Jeong Byeongguk's mistress,
but she is also the surrogate mother
of his son.
As the one who gave birth to the child,
she was longing to see her son.
She only visited a few times because the child
was distraught over his parents' separation.
Saying they are living together
is a gross assumption.
I can also call witnesses upon request.
And before the plaintiff filed for divorce,
she had a relationship with her college friend,
Yu Seongbin. They crossed the boundaries
of mere friendship, and we have evidence
to support that.
That's new evidence.
Please submit the evidence before
the next court date.
Plaintiff.
You filed for custody of Jeong Jinwu,
however, as of this session,
there isn't enough evidence to allow that.
The father has financial stability and
a grandmother and housekeeper to take care
of the child, making it a better environment.
Thus, the father will receive custody,
but I will allow regular visits.
The plaintiff may visit the child the first
and third Saturday of every month.
Your Honor.
The child feels great anxiety
without his mother.
Two visits per month are not enough.
Every first and third Saturday,
the plaintiff is allowed
24 hours with the child.
Also, child services will
investigate both homes.
Jinwu. I have to see my Jinwu.
You have to wait a few days.
Then you'll be able to see him.
Something's happened to him. I'm sure of it.
He wasn't himself.
What happened to him?
What if he doesn't come see me this weekend?
That won't happen.
But, before...
Let's go. There's no time.
You have to prepare for him to visit.
What is this?
You bought a drivable car for kids?
You didn't have to do this.
Careful.
Your daughter is busy working.
This is the best place for me to use my energy.
And I hear Jinwu's favorite toy
is a drivable electric car.
Sir, you haven't eaten yet, have you?
Not yet.
Oh, are you hungry?
Not really,
but your daughter gave me special orders
to become your meal buddy.
I'd be grateful,
but you shouldn't waste your time like that.
Even a busy man needs to eat.
We must eat in order to work.
Okay.
Then I'll set the table.
Sir, let me. Why don't you finish this up?
I'll prepare the meal. Yes, sir!
Geez.
I can't talk him out of anything.
What's this...
Visitation rights?
We have to let Jinwu visit his mother
every two weeks?
It's standard procedure for divorce cases.
You have to be happy that
you still have custody of Jinwu.
So? Now what will happen?
We'll submit Ms. Baek's photos and texts
with Yu Seongbin, as well as recordings of
employee testimonies in order to prove that
Baek Yeonhui had inappropriate relations
with that man.
Do you have to go that far?
They're making a huge deal out of
your relationship with Hwayeong.
But you know the truth.
Seongbin and Yeonhui were just friends.
Evidence carries more weight
than truth in court.
You don't know what the plaintiff
will submit as evidence next time.
Jinwu is your one and only son.
If you don't want him taken away,
you'd better pull yourself together.
Oh, right.
Did you find anything on Yeonhui's lawyer?
He says he's just her lawyer,
but isn't he basically her boyfriend?
Mother!
You're so pathetic.
And yet you expect to win the trial?
She had a relationship with her college friend,
Yu Seongbin. They crossed the boundaries
of mere friendship, and we have evidence.
Yu Seongbin, Yu Seongbin...
Thank you.
I was very surprised
to get a call from you.
I'm sorry I suddenly asked to see you.
And I'm sorry to come to your workplace.
How is the case going?
Is Yeonhui doing okay?
I can see why they'd think that.
I can tell right away
how you feel about Yeonhui.
It's not like that. You have it all wrong.
No. Even if Yeonhui doesn't feel that way,
you...
You have a first love, don't you?
If you still saw that person around,
how do you think you'd feel?
Would you want to be with her?
Make her yours?
No, I'd only wish her happiness,
with fondness for past emotions.
I understand completely how you feel.
But I wanted to make sure of something.
Nothing ever happened between you two?
I heard about the pictures.
Aside from that,
is there anything that may harm our case?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Okay.
It's hard for me
to ask Yeonhui these questions.
You understand, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Please call me whenever you need my help.
Excuse me.
Is this...
Junhui.
Attorney Lee.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
But we have a meeting in 30 minutes, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
He's handsome.
He must be her new boyfriend.
No way. That wouldn't happen.
She was in love with Mr. Yu just yesterday.
Who knows? Maybe she's moved on.
A lawyer, huh?
That's the perfect man to move on to.
He's handsome and tall,
and did you see his face?
I'm so jealous.
Let's get back to work.
So everything worked out?
We did set up terms for
Yeonhui to visit Jinwu on a regular basis.
I should get going now.
Hello.
What brings you here?
Oh.
Are you scavenging for evidence
like the hyena that you are?
Hyena?
That was a bit out of line.
Is that the charm Byeongguk fell for?
What about you?
When you offered free counseling,
did Yeonhui fall right into your lap?
Please watch what you say.
This is my company.
I never gave you permission
to meet with my employees.
Over here!
Yes, President Lee.
How can I help you, President Lee?
From this point forward,
don't let this man set foot in this building.
Got it?
Yes, ma'am.
Did you hear that?
Please leave.
What are you so sensitive about?
You don't know anything. Stay out of it.
I don't know anything?
Do I seem like a chump to you?
Let me say this again.
Don't make me wait much longer.
It'll only end up hurting you.
Until you hand in your assignment
with the correct answer...
I told you that child is dead.
No, he's still alive.
He was just abandoned by you.
Have a great day, President Lee.
Oh, geez. I knew I'd find you like this.
When did you get here?
You're lost in thought instead of working.
I'm going to court by myself from now on.
Have you had lunch yet?
I'm not hungry.
Let's go.
Where?
I'm not off work yet. I have work to do.
Tell your boss you have work to do outside.
Market research or something.
Oh, geez.
I knew this was going to happen.
Attorney Lee!
Why do you keep bothering
Yeonhui at work?
Bothering her?
I was just...
I thought if she had to do fieldwork,
I could drive her.
I don't have fieldwork. I'm not going out.
You should get going.
I'll call you after work.
Men! You're all the same!
Do you like her that much?
Isn't she a great catch in your eyes, too?
I have pretty good taste, right?
I understand you really like her and all,
but you have to consider how she feels.
She's in the middle of a custody battle.
Her lawyer shouldn't be hitting
on her like this.
Bad boy!
Do I seem like a chump to you?
Let me say this again.
Don't make me wait much longer.
It'll only end up hurting you.
He's still alive.
He was just abandoned by you.
No...
No!
Are you alright?
I didn't think I'd see you again.
It's nice to see you.
I'm sorry.
What brings you here?
Pastor.
I'd like some information about my baby.
Didn't you say that
you would never come back here again?
I did, but...
I really want to know about the baby.
I want to know what happened to him
and where he's living now.
You said you'd send him overseas.
Which country did you say it was?
I'm not sure, to be honest.
Pastor.
I don't know what happened to the child
after I sent him to the adoption agency.
Can you tell me which
adoption agency it was?
I'm not sure about that.
Children's Welfare Comprehensive Town
I'm sorry.
There was a fire at the welfare center
right around that time.
All the records were lost in the fire.
I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing
your child on the list for overseas adoption.
No. That's not possible.
That child was adopted overseas.
There's been some kind of mistake. Definitely.
Just you wait, Jinwu.
I'll give you a little sibling soon.
Just go to sleep. I'm tired.
Jinwu, is your mom's name
Lee Hwayeong?
Why would he write "Lee Hwayeong"
on a drawing of his mom?
I think Hwayeong's done something.
I need you to move out.
Did that mean old hag kick you out?
She didn't. It's not like that.
Did you kick my daughter out?
I can't let such filth enter my home,
can I?
Filth? As if you're so much better!
You must think really highly of yourself!
You saw what that woman did!
Like mother, like daughter.
I took pictures.
