You don't have to worry.
We have enough evidence for today. I'll do my very best.
Miss Wu, Miss Wu, she's always so fearless.
She doesn't know how to fight against a foreign firm.
She's not the Miss Wu we used to know.
You ought to be on your toes.
You didn't go to cram school?
I'm here to get money to pay for cram school, Mom.
Did I forget?
Why does Yikyung always take on pro bono cases?
- Be quiet. - Please rise.
The hearing for 2009-1903 will begin.
Your Honor, the plaintiff's other counsel is running late...
...due to the delay of evidence acquisition.
Can we please take a recess till he comes?
What's going on?
She's trying to buy time because she's not confident.
You know she can't afford to hire another attorney.
Begin with your opening argument, counselor.
Last month, my client Junghee Park was notified her contract won't be renewed.
Among the employees whose contract expired...
...my client was the only one excluded from resigning her contract.
Allan Korea is an American firm.
According to the employee contract, it states that the US law will be applied.
Therefore, the contract wasn't renewed upon expiration.
Have you heard an American law at-will employment rule?
We're in South Korea.
Even if you're a foreign firm, you need to abide by the laws governed in Korea.
Moreover, as my client's manager...
...Michael Dickson pressured her to date him.
He didn't resign her contract after being turned down.
I object!
The counselor's statement is irrelevant to the case.
Not renewing an employee's contract is legitimate under the US law.
It has nothing to do with personal feelings.
There's a correlation.
I'm sorry, Your Honor. I'm Hyuk Byun, the plaintiff's counsel.
What's going on?
You didn't verify the plaintiff's counsel?
The defense attorney keeps bringing up US law.
But I think he misinterpreted the at-will employment rule.
Unlawful discrimination is one of several exceptions to the doctrine.
Do you have evidence of the discrimination?
Shouldn't the defense submit evidence that the discrimination didn't take place?
Also, the plaintiff was sued for unlawful termination...
...from his former employee Susie Brown back in the US.
For the same reason.
Who's Susie?
I don't know any Susie Brown.
The US court ruled in favor of Susie Brown.
Is it true what he said?
I submit the court documents as evidence.
I'm asking if that's true!
- We also submit... - No, that's not true.
...surveillance footage of my client being pestered by the defendant.
What the heck happened?
What's this?
What's this!
I don't know.
Abusing US law, the defendant didn't renew my client's employment contract.
This kind of discrimination cannot be a cause of termination.
Therefore, this is considered wrongful termination.
Our next hearing will be on October 13th.
I'll be looking for good news.
Plaintiff's counsel.
What kind of relationship do you have?
You used to be lovers...
...fighting tooth and nail like enemies, and now friends at court.
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
You guys look great today.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - No problem.
So cool.
- Mom? - Yeah.
I wanna be a lawyer.
Let's go.
You liked going on a drive?
I heard you're getting married to the chauffer.
Isn't it better than getting married to someone...
...who's been divorced 3 times, Attorney Oh?
Don't make me sad.
Mom, you're gonna marry Mr. Oh?
Great job.
Thanks.
I never imagined meeting like this again.
Daebo's reputation isn't what it used to be.
The partners would never be...
...in an awkward predicament when I used to be a junior associate.
You should talk for yourself.
Didn't you guys once fight over a condo?
I realized how great of a lawyer Attorney Wu was during the lawsuit.
Therefore, I was willing to be her partner.
Miss Wu!
I mean Attorney Wu...
...let's settle out of court instead of fighting it out in court.
What do you think?
That's exactly what we want.
First things first. Shouldn't my client be rehired?
Rehired? What are you talking about being rehired?
Don't you know she'd prefer receiving consolation money than getting rehired?
It seems like the employees are planning on a strike.
Would that be okay?
I feel like I'll be seeing you more often, Attorney Wu.
Keep up the good work.
Most definitely.
- It won't be easy. - That's what makes it amusing.
Goodbye now.
Ah, Attorney Wu, I'll be keeping in touch.
I'll call you!
I'll call you, thank you, thank you!
- How do you feel? - What do you mean?
Showing off your abilities to your former boss.
- Honestly? - Yeah, honestly.
- Not bad. - That's it?
I'm glad they finally acknowledged me as a fellow attorney.
But I felt much happier when my client thanked me several times.
Yikyung Wu, you've become a wonderful lawyer in a year.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.
Do you know what my going rate is in LA?
- How would I know? - It's out of your league�
