00:01:17.202 --> 00:01:19.788
SENIOR MANAGER, KIM HYEON-JEONG
MIR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

00:01:31.675 --> 00:01:32.801
Ms. Kim.

00:01:35.178 --> 00:01:36.471
He's ready to see you now.

00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:38.849
Okay.

00:01:46.648 --> 00:01:50.610
You're aware that the company is currently
in the process of an M&A, right?

00:01:50.694 --> 00:01:51.778
Yes, sir.

00:01:52.404 --> 00:01:54.740
I understand Mir Life

00:01:54.823 --> 00:01:58.535
will be acquired by SB Life,
a German insurance company.

00:01:58.619 --> 00:02:01.413
Since the owner
of the company is changing,

00:02:01.496 --> 00:02:03.248
we can't avoid restructuring.

00:02:03.832 --> 00:02:05.834
This is the policy
that was decided on by the higher-ups.

00:02:06.418 --> 00:02:08.420
"Employees who are married
within the company

00:02:08.503 --> 00:02:10.005
are eligible for voluntary resignation."

00:02:10.797 --> 00:02:11.882
Why?

00:02:11.965 --> 00:02:13.925
Because they have relative stability.

00:02:14.635 --> 00:02:16.428
Relative stability?

00:02:17.554 --> 00:02:20.015
Employees who are married
with a double income

00:02:20.098 --> 00:02:22.726
must have a more stable life
than single-income employees.

00:02:22.809 --> 00:02:26.146
But even if I add up my salary
with my husband's,

00:02:26.229 --> 00:02:28.440
it wouldn't match up
to the executives' salaries.

00:02:28.523 --> 00:02:30.525
This is the company policy.

00:02:31.234 --> 00:02:33.195
"If one of the employees
of a married couple

00:02:33.278 --> 00:02:34.571
does not voluntarily resign,

00:02:35.197 --> 00:02:38.116
the husband will be subjected to
unpaid leave."

00:02:39.493 --> 00:02:42.913
So you're saying that if I don't quit,

00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:45.457
you're going to fire my husband?

00:02:47.417 --> 00:02:51.505
Think hard about
which option would be more beneficial.

00:02:51.588 --> 00:02:55.217
As a wife, should you really be getting
in the way of your husband's career?

00:02:56.134 --> 00:02:56.968
Excuse me?

00:02:57.052 --> 00:02:59.179
It would be uncomfortable
for the parents too.

00:02:59.262 --> 00:03:00.639
What kind of parents would be happy to see

00:03:00.722 --> 00:03:03.183
their son hanging around at home
while their daughter-in-law goes to work?

00:03:06.937 --> 00:03:09.564
This is when you should
support your husband.

00:03:19.282 --> 00:03:20.409
Ms. Kim.

00:03:21.243 --> 00:03:22.244
Ms. Kim.

00:03:22.786 --> 00:03:24.371
What did the Head of HR say?

00:03:24.454 --> 00:03:25.288
Right.

00:03:25.831 --> 00:03:27.833
Your husband
also works here right, Ms. Lee?

00:03:27.916 --> 00:03:30.168
Yes. Why do you ask?

00:03:30.252 --> 00:03:31.461
Ms. Lee.

00:03:32.254 --> 00:03:33.505
He'll see you now.

00:03:35.424 --> 00:03:36.425
Okay.

00:03:40.679 --> 00:03:42.389
HUSBAND: WE NEED TO TALK

00:03:43.098 --> 00:03:44.891
What did he say to you?

00:03:45.809 --> 00:03:47.352
He told me to convince you.

00:03:48.311 --> 00:03:49.980
To get me to quit?

00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:53.525
That's what the company wants right now.

00:03:54.109 --> 00:03:55.318
To get rid of the female employees.

00:04:07.914 --> 00:04:08.790
Are you okay?

00:04:09.541 --> 00:04:12.461
I worked so hard for this company.

00:04:12.544 --> 00:04:14.004
You know that, right?

00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:15.714
Of course.

00:04:16.757 --> 00:04:17.841
Of course, I know.

00:04:17.924 --> 00:04:19.551
I think I took maybe two weeks off

00:04:20.260 --> 00:04:22.053
after I gave birth to Jeong-min.

00:04:23.805 --> 00:04:27.017
I voluntarily gave up the remaining days
of my maternity leave

00:04:28.226 --> 00:04:30.103
and came straight back to work.

00:04:30.771 --> 00:04:31.688
I know.

00:04:32.272 --> 00:04:34.232
Everyone at work knows you did.

00:04:34.316 --> 00:04:36.860
They expected me to drop all my roles
as mother and wife

00:04:37.944 --> 00:04:40.238
and be a dedicated employee
of the company.

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.743
Now he's saying I should just stay home
and take care of you as a wife.

00:04:47.162 --> 00:04:49.414
He said I'll be getting in the way
of your career…

00:04:53.502 --> 00:04:55.587
if I keep working here.

00:05:16.191 --> 00:05:22.739
CASE 12
YANGTZE RIVER DOLPHIN

00:05:29.746 --> 00:05:30.705
Come in.

00:05:36.419 --> 00:05:37.462
Gosh.

00:05:40.298 --> 00:05:41.716
It seems as if…

00:05:43.176 --> 00:05:46.805
-Did you spend the night here?
-No, I went home at dawn and rested.

00:05:46.888 --> 00:05:48.098
I see.

00:05:48.181 --> 00:05:49.891
You're having a burger for breakfast?

00:05:49.975 --> 00:05:54.145
Yes. I have a client meeting soon,
so there's no time to eat a proper meal.

00:05:54.729 --> 00:05:56.022
What can I do for you?

00:05:56.106 --> 00:05:59.484
I'm on my way to visit
Attorney Park Hak-su at the hospital.

00:05:59.568 --> 00:06:02.153
I thought maybe you could join me.

00:06:02.237 --> 00:06:04.406
But I guess you can't come.

00:06:04.489 --> 00:06:05.490
Wait…

00:06:06.366 --> 00:06:08.243
What happened to Attorney Park?

00:06:08.326 --> 00:06:09.536
Is he ill?

00:06:09.619 --> 00:06:10.704
Gosh.

00:06:11.746 --> 00:06:13.540
You haven't heard yet?

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.545
Last night, Jang Jae-jin paid a visit
to Attorney Park and caused a scene.

00:06:18.628 --> 00:06:19.921
Jang Jae-jin…

00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:23.925
Jang Jae-jin, the son of
Hyeonbo Construction's chairman?

00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:25.135
Yes, that's right.

00:06:25.885 --> 00:06:27.596
He got out of prison a few days ago.

00:06:28.847 --> 00:06:32.017
The reason he only got
an eight-year sentence

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:35.854
after brutally murdering his own father
is all thanks to you and Attorney Park.

00:06:35.937 --> 00:06:39.441
I wonder what his problem is.

00:06:39.524 --> 00:06:43.069
He went to Attorney Park's home
and swung a knife at him for revenge.

00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:46.489
Thank goodness
his family showed up in time.

00:06:47.032 --> 00:06:50.493
Luckily, he wasn't injured too badly.
Just a bit rattled up.

00:06:50.577 --> 00:06:53.413
Was Jang Jae-jin caught?

00:06:53.997 --> 00:06:56.499
Not yet. The police are looking for him.

00:06:58.501 --> 00:07:01.171
Jang Jae-jin probably
remembers my face too.

00:07:01.755 --> 00:07:03.673
So I told the security team

00:07:03.757 --> 00:07:07.135
to pay more attention
to the people entering the building.

00:07:07.886 --> 00:07:09.971
We're going to increase the number
of security personnel,

00:07:10.055 --> 00:07:12.015
so don't worry too much. Okay?

00:07:12.557 --> 00:07:13.642
Yes, ma'am.

00:07:14.351 --> 00:07:16.519
-Get back to work then.
-I'll see you later.

00:07:47.968 --> 00:07:51.721
He went to Attorney Park's home
and swung a knife at him for revenge.

00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.016
Was Jang Jae-jin caught?

00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:57.560
Not yet. The police are looking for him.

00:08:12.867 --> 00:08:13.827
Hello.

00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:35.473
You're Attorney Jung Myeong-seok, right?

00:08:36.224 --> 00:08:37.267
Yes.

00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:40.020
I'm Moon Jong-cheol,
the Head of HR at Mir Life.

00:08:40.103 --> 00:08:41.896
We've met once before. Do you remember?

00:08:42.564 --> 00:08:43.857
Yes.

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:45.191
I'm sorry.

00:08:46.359 --> 00:08:47.944
Let's go to the conference room.

00:08:48.028 --> 00:08:49.112
Sure.

00:08:50.113 --> 00:08:51.656
"If one of the employees
of a married couple

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:53.533
does not voluntarily resign,

00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:56.745
the husband will be subjected to
unpaid leave."

00:08:56.828 --> 00:09:00.248
I'm not sure why this policy
is discriminatory toward women.

00:09:00.331 --> 00:09:04.919
Since they're penalizing the husband,
isn't it discriminatory toward men?

00:09:05.003 --> 00:09:06.463
Exactly.

00:09:06.546 --> 00:09:08.089
That's what I'm saying.

00:09:08.173 --> 00:09:10.508
The opposing attorney keeps claiming

00:09:10.592 --> 00:09:12.886
that it's discrimination
against female employees

00:09:12.969 --> 00:09:15.138
and it's so frustrating.

00:09:15.221 --> 00:09:16.139
Well…

00:09:16.222 --> 00:09:21.644
That may be true in a literal sense,
but our society has patriarchal values.

00:09:21.728 --> 00:09:24.647
If only one person
of the married couple can work,

00:09:24.731 --> 00:09:27.859
can we really ignore the prejudice
that it should obviously be the husband?

00:09:28.943 --> 00:09:29.819
I see.

00:09:29.903 --> 00:09:32.530
In fact, out of the 112 married couples
in the company,

00:09:32.614 --> 00:09:35.200
ninety-eight of the wives
have already resigned.

00:09:35.784 --> 00:09:39.079
Exactly. You said you would penalize
the husbands, but ultimately,

00:09:39.162 --> 00:09:41.956
it was mostly the wives
who voluntarily resigned.

00:09:42.749 --> 00:09:44.751
And on top of that,
they can't even make a complaint.

00:09:44.834 --> 00:09:47.462
Because their husbands are being held
like hostages by the company.

00:09:48.046 --> 00:09:50.799
Isn't this probably why only
2 out of the 98 female employees

00:09:50.882 --> 00:09:53.426
who resigned filed the lawsuit?

00:09:54.219 --> 00:09:57.847
Was this policy created
with all this considered?

00:09:57.931 --> 00:09:58.932
What?

00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:01.726
Well, I mean…

00:10:02.811 --> 00:10:06.940
It's quite difficult to proceed with
major restructuring without any issues,

00:10:07.023 --> 00:10:10.652
so Mir Life just found
the most efficient method.

00:10:10.735 --> 00:10:13.655
Yes, that's right. That's what I'm saying.

00:10:14.322 --> 00:10:16.574
All right. The two employees
who filed the suit

00:10:17.158 --> 00:10:19.577
are Kim Hyeon-jeong
and Lee Ji-young, right?

00:10:19.661 --> 00:10:21.830
What kind of employees were they?

00:10:21.913 --> 00:10:25.792
They weren't particularly problematic.

00:10:26.292 --> 00:10:28.378
You could say that Senior Manager Kim

00:10:28.461 --> 00:10:31.214
was very dedicated to her work.

00:10:31.297 --> 00:10:34.551
Since she received
the Best Employee Award twice.

00:10:34.634 --> 00:10:38.596
Assistant Manager Lee
was good at her job too.

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:42.142
I see that she frequently took days off
before her resignation.

00:10:42.225 --> 00:10:45.186
I think those were
for her doctor's appointments,

00:10:45.270 --> 00:10:47.147
but I'll look into it more.

00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:50.316
The more information you have
on the plaintiffs, the better.

00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:52.694
Please give us everything you have.

00:10:52.777 --> 00:10:55.363
We're not trying to
pick apart their flaws,

00:10:55.446 --> 00:10:59.284
but it is crucial that we know
of their situations or weaknesses.

00:10:59.367 --> 00:11:00.743
Yes, all right.

00:11:01.286 --> 00:11:02.996
But…

00:11:03.079 --> 00:11:04.706
about the opposing attorney.

00:11:04.789 --> 00:11:07.125
Attorney Ryu Jae-sook?

00:11:07.208 --> 00:11:08.459
Do you know her well?

00:11:08.543 --> 00:11:11.129
No, I don't know her personally.

00:11:11.212 --> 00:11:13.339
I know that she usually takes on cases

00:11:13.423 --> 00:11:16.718
involving women, human rights, and labor.

00:11:17.427 --> 00:11:20.430
Is she famous in this field?

00:11:20.513 --> 00:11:23.057
She did a lot of cases
that stirred up the public.

00:11:23.141 --> 00:11:25.935
For example, the case of "Seono Heavy
Industry's subcontracting misconduct,"

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:28.229
"Gwangil Group's early retirement
of its female employees,"

00:11:28.313 --> 00:11:30.982
and the "workers' suit against Gyeongok
Construction for causing pneumoconiosis."

00:11:31.065 --> 00:11:34.152
But because she takes
on big David and Goliath-like cases,

00:11:34.235 --> 00:11:36.154
her winning rate is not that high.

00:11:36.237 --> 00:11:38.781
She lost all the cases
that were just mentioned.

00:11:38.865 --> 00:11:41.075
It's as if she's an attorney
that specializes in losing cases.

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:45.997
Do you have any particular concerns
about Attorney Ryu?

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:47.457
Well,

00:11:47.540 --> 00:11:50.335
she came by the company once, and she was…

00:11:50.418 --> 00:11:52.795
How should I put this?

00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:56.049
Loud?

00:11:59.135 --> 00:12:00.803
Do not

00:12:00.887 --> 00:12:05.058
inform the company of your marital status!

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:11.230
Mir Life is exploiting the law
to force wives to voluntarily resign

00:12:12.357 --> 00:12:16.110
to achieve
gender discriminatory restructuring!

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:18.154
Come to your senses!

00:12:18.237 --> 00:12:20.448
-Come to your senses!
-Come to your senses!

00:12:21.157 --> 00:12:24.577
Forced resignation under the guise
of voluntary resignation!

00:12:24.661 --> 00:12:27.205
Condemn the act of oppression!

00:12:27.288 --> 00:12:29.332
-Condemn!
-She is loud.

00:12:29.415 --> 00:12:31.459
-Mir Life, come to your senses!
-It's the pretrial hearing today.

00:12:31.542 --> 00:12:34.253
-Come to your senses!
-Is she warming up by protesting?

00:12:34.337 --> 00:12:35.838
I've never seen
an attorney like her before.

00:12:35.922 --> 00:12:37.173
Condemn!

00:12:37.882 --> 00:12:40.093
-Condemn!
-Condemn!

00:12:40.176 --> 00:12:44.055
And it seems like she is wearing
matching colors with the plaintiffs.

00:12:44.138 --> 00:12:46.015
And put on matching headbands too.

00:12:46.933 --> 00:12:48.935
-Come to your senses!
-Come to your senses!

00:12:49.018 --> 00:12:51.145
It's almost time. Should we head in?

00:12:51.229 --> 00:12:54.065
Judge Ryu Myeong-ha
is known to be strict about everything.

00:12:54.148 --> 00:12:55.024
Ryu Myeong-ha?

00:12:55.108 --> 00:12:56.693
Condemn this act of oppression!

00:12:56.776 --> 00:13:00.613
The judge of this case
is Judge Ryu Myeong-ha?

00:13:00.697 --> 00:13:02.407
Yes, you didn't know?

00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:04.033
We have a problem.

00:13:04.117 --> 00:13:08.496
That loud attorney,
isn't her name Ryu Jae-sook?

00:13:09.163 --> 00:13:10.498
No way…

00:13:11.499 --> 00:13:13.292
She can't be from
the Ryu family of Pungsan, right?

00:13:15.003 --> 00:13:18.297
Mir Life, admit to this unjust dismissal!

00:13:18.381 --> 00:13:20.842
-Admit!
-Admit!

00:13:22.760 --> 00:13:25.930
CONCILIATOR

00:13:27.181 --> 00:13:28.558
Hello.

00:13:29.684 --> 00:13:32.937
PLAINTIFF

00:13:33.021 --> 00:13:34.022
DEFENDANT

00:13:34.105 --> 00:13:35.398
Your Honor.

00:13:35.481 --> 00:13:39.152
The plaintiffs and their attorney
just held a protest

00:13:39.235 --> 00:13:41.362
in front of the court regarding this case.

00:13:41.988 --> 00:13:44.532
I'm concerned
that the protest will affect you

00:13:45.158 --> 00:13:49.328
and undermine the fairness of this trial.

00:13:49.412 --> 00:13:51.330
The plaintiffs and I
were merely protesting

00:13:51.414 --> 00:13:55.126
against the * discriminatory
restructuring of Mir Life.

00:13:55.710 --> 00:13:59.505
We had no intention
of affecting the trial.

00:13:59.589 --> 00:14:02.008
Then why protest in front of the court?

00:14:02.091 --> 00:14:03.634
You should've done it at Mir Life.

00:14:03.718 --> 00:14:05.636
We are going to protest at Mir Life too.

00:14:06.262 --> 00:14:10.641
We only did it here today because
we had to be at this pretrial hearing.

00:14:10.725 --> 00:14:14.479
Do we have to discuss
where we protest with you?

00:14:15.063 --> 00:14:16.272
That's not necessary…

00:14:19.150 --> 00:14:20.318
Counselor,

00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:22.653
what is your family origin?

00:14:24.614 --> 00:14:27.158
My family origin
is the Ryu family of Pungsan.

00:14:27.241 --> 00:14:28.576
My goodness.

00:14:30.578 --> 00:14:32.705
My family origin
is also the Ryu family of Pungsan.

00:14:33.873 --> 00:14:37.502
Then what generation name
does your father use?

00:14:38.086 --> 00:14:39.587
My father uses…

00:14:46.677 --> 00:14:50.473
Your Honor, why are you asking about
my father's generation name and not mine?

00:14:50.556 --> 00:14:55.520
Well, that's because daughters usually
don't use a generation name.

00:14:55.603 --> 00:14:56.521
Right.

00:14:56.604 --> 00:14:58.981
Because daughters
become outsiders once they marry

00:14:59.065 --> 00:15:01.401
and can't continue
the Ryu family of Pungsan's line?

00:15:02.026 --> 00:15:03.653
-No, I mean--
-Your Honor,

00:15:03.736 --> 00:15:07.740
I think the essence of this case
is * discrimination.

00:15:07.824 --> 00:15:10.243
And * discrimination
is an act that is strictly forbidden

00:15:10.326 --> 00:15:11.953
by the laws of this country,

00:15:12.036 --> 00:15:13.579
such as the Framework Act
on Gender Equality

00:15:13.663 --> 00:15:15.081
and the Equal Employment Opportunity Act.

00:15:15.164 --> 00:15:16.874
I'm deeply concerned if Your Honor,

00:15:16.958 --> 00:15:21.212
who is biased in that I wouldn't have used
a generation name because I'm a woman,

00:15:21.295 --> 00:15:27.093
will be able to see
the essence of this case fairly.

00:15:31.472 --> 00:15:32.473
What?

00:15:32.557 --> 00:15:34.600
The "Jae" in my name, Ryu Jae-sook,
is a generation name that denotes

00:15:34.684 --> 00:15:37.812
the 26th generation
of the Ryu family of Pungsan.

00:15:38.646 --> 00:15:40.606
Your name has "Ha" in it, Your Honor,

00:15:40.690 --> 00:15:43.943
so I'm assuming that
you are of the 27th generation.

00:15:45.736 --> 00:15:47.864
Yes, I am.

00:15:47.947 --> 00:15:53.035
So that would mean in a way,
I'm like your aunt.

00:15:54.328 --> 00:15:57.957
Of course, it's not necessary
for you to call me "aunt."

00:15:59.834 --> 00:16:00.835
Okay.

00:16:02.086 --> 00:16:06.299
Your Honor, may I bring up the protest
that the plaintiffs and their attorney--

00:16:07.008 --> 00:16:08.551
That won't be an issue.

00:16:09.302 --> 00:16:10.136
Sorry?

00:16:10.219 --> 00:16:14.348
I do not see the protest
affecting my judgment in any way.

00:16:15.057 --> 00:16:15.975
So,

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.227
it won't be an issue.

00:16:18.311 --> 00:16:20.563
Thank you, Judge Ryu Myeong-ha.

00:16:33.284 --> 00:16:35.661
I don't like the word "context."

00:16:35.745 --> 00:16:37.455
It's as difficult as the word "tone."

00:16:37.538 --> 00:16:40.958
When I was studying law, I didn't have
to figure out the context and tone

00:16:41.042 --> 00:16:43.044
that were hidden behind words.

00:16:43.127 --> 00:16:45.796
But I think that's not enough
for some cases.

00:16:46.464 --> 00:16:48.841
I can't get into the specifics,

00:16:48.925 --> 00:16:52.386
but I learned that even a seemingly
neutral policy can be discriminatory

00:16:52.470 --> 00:16:56.432
if you considered the context
that this is a patriarchal society--

00:16:56.516 --> 00:16:57.892
Hey, Young-woo.

00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.393
Yes?

00:17:01.145 --> 00:17:02.271
Are you…

00:17:03.022 --> 00:17:04.482
seeing someone?

00:17:07.985 --> 00:17:10.446
Why are you asking me that
out of the blue?

00:17:10.530 --> 00:17:14.283
Does this also have a hidden context
that I don't know about?

00:17:14.367 --> 00:17:15.910
No, there's nothing like that.

00:17:15.993 --> 00:17:18.579
I'm just wondering
if you're in a relationship.

00:17:22.208 --> 00:17:23.459
Well…

00:17:24.585 --> 00:17:25.503
No.

00:17:27.547 --> 00:17:28.506
No?

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:32.426
I mean…

00:17:34.595 --> 00:17:35.721
But…

00:17:37.265 --> 00:17:38.307
you kissed?

00:17:41.269 --> 00:17:42.228
Goodness.

00:17:42.770 --> 00:17:44.480
I didn't think you had it in you.

00:17:44.564 --> 00:17:47.024
It's like you're in a Hollywood movie,
doing things the American way.

00:17:47.692 --> 00:17:50.152
How did you know I kissed someone?

00:17:50.236 --> 00:17:51.737
What do you mean how?

00:17:52.238 --> 00:17:54.240
You were kissing
right in front of the house!

00:17:55.199 --> 00:17:56.409
Gosh, you little…

00:17:56.492 --> 00:17:57.785
But what?

00:17:57.868 --> 00:17:59.328
You're not in a relationship?

00:18:00.496 --> 00:18:03.332
We haven't discussed it yet.

00:18:03.416 --> 00:18:07.628
We're getting to know each other first
by going on dates.

00:18:07.712 --> 00:18:09.672
Then he's a total punk.

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:14.135
He's going around kissing you
without even asking you out properly?

00:18:14.677 --> 00:18:16.512
Who is he? Bring him home.

00:18:16.596 --> 00:18:19.098
I need to see for myself
what kind of guy he is, okay?

00:18:19.181 --> 00:18:20.141
Goodness.

00:19:22.036 --> 00:19:24.622
I didn't do anything wrong.

00:19:27.291 --> 00:19:28.626
Hey, wait.

00:19:29.543 --> 00:19:32.129
The gas gun.

00:19:50.564 --> 00:19:52.441
"If one of the employees
of a married couple

00:19:52.525 --> 00:19:54.151
does not voluntarily resign,

00:19:54.235 --> 00:19:57.405
the husband will be subjected to
unpaid leave."

00:19:58.447 --> 00:20:02.243
What was Mir Life's intention
in making this policy?

00:20:02.326 --> 00:20:05.830
Didn't you ultimately
lead the female employees to resign

00:20:05.913 --> 00:20:09.291
by threatening the wives that
their husbands would lose their jobs?

00:20:09.959 --> 00:20:14.255
No, Mir Life is a company
that respects women.

00:20:14.338 --> 00:20:16.507
Even in the middle of restructuring,

00:20:16.590 --> 00:20:19.510
we came up with a policy that is more
advantageous to female employees.

00:20:19.593 --> 00:20:23.222
"As a wife, should you really be getting
in the way of your husband's career?"

00:20:23.305 --> 00:20:25.266
"What kind of parents
would be happy to see

00:20:25.349 --> 00:20:27.309
their son hanging around at home
while their daughter-in-law goes to work?"

00:20:27.393 --> 00:20:29.520
"This is when you should
support your husband."

00:20:29.603 --> 00:20:32.440
"When a husband loses his job,
he becomes jobless."

00:20:32.523 --> 00:20:35.151
"But when a wife loses her job,
she's still a housewife."

00:20:35.818 --> 00:20:39.572
"Are you going to make your husband's life
embarrassing and pathetic?"

00:20:40.364 --> 00:20:44.577
These are the words that
you said to the plaintiffs. Do you recall?

00:20:45.745 --> 00:20:46.704
Yes.

00:20:47.288 --> 00:20:48.497
Didn't you just say

00:20:48.581 --> 00:20:51.792
Mir Life is a company that respects women,

00:20:51.876 --> 00:20:53.627
and that you came up
with a restructuring policy

00:20:53.711 --> 00:20:56.756
that is more advantageous
to female employees?

00:20:57.423 --> 00:20:59.258
But through these meetings,

00:20:59.341 --> 00:21:03.429
you actively persuaded
the female employees

00:21:04.096 --> 00:21:05.389
to voluntarily resign.

00:21:05.473 --> 00:21:06.766
Do you admit to doing this?

00:21:07.349 --> 00:21:10.269
I was just saying how I felt.

00:21:10.853 --> 00:21:14.982
They are my personal opinions
that are irrelevant to the company policy.

00:21:15.065 --> 00:21:16.859
Don't be ridiculous.

00:21:18.569 --> 00:21:21.781
Your Honor. This type of questioning
is very inappropriate

00:21:21.864 --> 00:21:24.492
as it insults the witness.

00:21:24.575 --> 00:21:27.870
Please restrict the plaintiff's counselor
so she doesn't cross the line.

00:21:27.953 --> 00:21:30.790
Mr. Moon is the Head of HR at Mir Life,

00:21:30.873 --> 00:21:33.918
so he had meetings with the plaintiffs
as a representative of the company.

00:21:34.794 --> 00:21:38.214
Am I supposed to just accept that
he expressed his personal opinions

00:21:38.297 --> 00:21:42.760
and exchanged casual conversations
at serious meetings like that?

00:21:42.843 --> 00:21:44.303
I don't think so,

00:21:44.386 --> 00:21:47.306
Judge Ryu Myeong-ha.

00:21:52.478 --> 00:21:54.230
ATTORNEY RYU JAE-SOOK

00:21:59.985 --> 00:22:02.112
Mr. Moon Jong-cheol

00:22:02.196 --> 00:22:07.368
was representing Mir Life at the time
of his meetings with the plaintiffs.

00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:09.954
Do you admit to doing this?

00:22:10.037 --> 00:22:11.914
Yes, but…

00:22:11.997 --> 00:22:13.415
Put that on the record.

00:22:24.593 --> 00:22:27.012
When you heard of
the company's restructuring policy,

00:22:27.096 --> 00:22:29.014
what did you think of it?

00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:34.019
Did you think that they were ultimately
leading female employees to resign

00:22:34.520 --> 00:22:39.149
by threatening them, saying that
their husbands would lose their jobs?

00:22:39.233 --> 00:22:40.276
No.

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:44.029
If I thought that, I would have quit.

00:22:44.113 --> 00:22:46.907
In our case, my husband
was the one who voluntarily resigned.

00:22:46.991 --> 00:22:50.244
I didn't feel that the company policy
was *ually discriminatory.

00:22:50.327 --> 00:22:51.996
Unless it's reverse discrimination.

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.833
You had a meeting with Mr. Moon, correct?

00:22:57.084 --> 00:22:58.210
Yes.

00:22:58.294 --> 00:23:00.629
Did he say something along the lines of,

00:23:00.713 --> 00:23:05.426
"As a wife, should you really be getting
in the way of your husband's career"?

00:23:06.760 --> 00:23:08.470
I don't really remember.

00:23:09.138 --> 00:23:11.348
Because that's not all that important.

00:23:11.974 --> 00:23:15.102
What I remember is that
if we applied for voluntary resignation,

00:23:15.185 --> 00:23:18.230
we would be provided with a severance
equivalent to 13 months of pay

00:23:18.314 --> 00:23:21.150
and the opportunity to work
as contract employees.

00:23:21.233 --> 00:23:23.611
An opportunity to work
as a contract employee?

00:23:23.694 --> 00:23:26.822
Why are you saying that
as if it's some kind of benefit?

00:23:26.905 --> 00:23:28.449
Don't you know they're using
the restructuring as an excuse

00:23:28.532 --> 00:23:31.285
to turn female employees
into non-full-time employees?

00:23:32.202 --> 00:23:35.080
All these things about * discrimination
and becoming non-full-time employees.

00:23:35.164 --> 00:23:37.625
I don't get why people,
who are usually so independent and smart,

00:23:37.708 --> 00:23:40.002
are saying they were forced to
make such a decision

00:23:40.085 --> 00:23:42.212
because of what Mr. Moon said.

00:23:42.296 --> 00:23:44.798
Things are already uneasy at the company
with the restructuring and the M&A,

00:23:44.882 --> 00:23:46.133
and now there's a lawsuit too.

00:23:46.216 --> 00:23:48.636
The remaining employees are exhausted!

00:23:54.516 --> 00:23:55.559
That is all.

00:23:56.685 --> 00:23:59.396
Plaintiff's counselor,
you may begin cross-examination.

00:24:08.072 --> 00:24:10.240
Your husband is quite ill, right?

00:24:11.950 --> 00:24:14.536
I heard he recently had an operation
for colon cancer.

00:24:15.162 --> 00:24:16.288
Yes.

00:24:16.372 --> 00:24:19.458
But that wasn't the reason
my husband quit his job.

00:24:19.958 --> 00:24:21.669
Even if he wasn't ill,

00:24:22.419 --> 00:24:25.172
we would have made the same decision.

00:24:25.255 --> 00:24:27.466
Before your husband's surgery,

00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:31.011
you received a month of paid leave, right?

00:24:31.595 --> 00:24:34.223
That's quite an exceptional benefit
for a company

00:24:34.306 --> 00:24:38.268
that is currently
under such difficult circumstances.

00:24:38.936 --> 00:24:42.439
Does your being here today
have anything to do

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:46.443
with you receiving such a benefit?

00:25:04.628 --> 00:25:05.879
Ms. Choi Yeon-hui.

00:25:10.926 --> 00:25:12.886
Did your husband's surgery go well?

00:25:12.970 --> 00:25:14.847
We were occupied with the lawsuit

00:25:14.930 --> 00:25:17.307
that we couldn't even
visit you at the hospital.

00:25:18.517 --> 00:25:19.643
It's fine.

00:25:20.269 --> 00:25:22.938
His surgery went well.
There's no metastasis either.

00:25:23.772 --> 00:25:24.857
He's okay.

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:27.568
Really? That's good.

00:25:27.651 --> 00:25:29.403
That's such a relief.

00:25:34.158 --> 00:25:37.494
Hey, there's no need for you
to feel bad about this.

00:25:38.162 --> 00:25:39.747
Just focus on taking care of your husband.

00:25:40.664 --> 00:25:43.125
Everyone has different opinions.

00:25:43.208 --> 00:25:47.337
If I were in your position,
I would have done the same thing.

00:25:48.338 --> 00:25:49.548
Ms. Kim…

00:25:50.132 --> 00:25:53.427
Ms. Choi, did you try
the bungeoppang out front?

00:25:53.510 --> 00:25:56.013
I'm not sure if it's because it's sold
in front of the courthouse, but it's good.

00:25:56.096 --> 00:25:58.098
Let's go get some bungeoppang together.

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:01.643
It's okay. I'll get some another time.

00:26:01.727 --> 00:26:02.895
Come on.

00:26:02.978 --> 00:26:04.396
Have at least one.

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.732
If all three of us
were still at work together,

00:26:06.815 --> 00:26:08.901
it would have been snack time
right about now.

00:26:12.821 --> 00:26:14.114
I'm sorry.

00:26:15.991 --> 00:26:17.868
I'm really sorry.

00:26:18.994 --> 00:26:20.954
Why are you crying?

00:26:21.622 --> 00:26:22.623
Gosh…

00:26:27.377 --> 00:26:28.629
It's okay.

00:26:28.712 --> 00:26:30.130
Yes, it's okay.

00:26:31.131 --> 00:26:32.216
It's okay.

00:26:37.387 --> 00:26:40.182
What's the point of all this?

00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:52.152
Excuse me!

00:26:57.616 --> 00:26:58.659
Here.

00:26:58.742 --> 00:27:01.453
-What is this?
-Bungeoppang.

00:27:01.537 --> 00:27:04.706
We bought them for you
while we were getting ours. Have some.

00:27:05.290 --> 00:27:07.292
Thank you.

00:27:07.376 --> 00:27:09.086
Sure. Bye.

00:27:15.509 --> 00:27:18.345
Buying the opposing attorneys bungeoppang?

00:27:18.428 --> 00:27:20.055
They're quite relaxed.

00:27:20.597 --> 00:27:22.349
Do they think they're winning?

00:27:22.432 --> 00:27:23.976
Well, they are winning.

00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:25.644
Let's go.

00:27:32.651 --> 00:27:34.027
Jun-ho.

00:27:34.111 --> 00:27:36.989
I think we're going to have to
look into the plaintiffs.

00:27:37.072 --> 00:27:38.782
-Look into them?
-Yes.

00:27:38.866 --> 00:27:41.618
Is there anything that could show

00:27:41.702 --> 00:27:44.037
that the plaintiffs
voluntarily quit the company?

00:27:44.121 --> 00:27:47.583
I'm sure they didn't quit
because they wanted to.

00:27:47.666 --> 00:27:49.918
But maybe any kind of proof

00:27:50.002 --> 00:27:52.379
that they thought voluntary resignation
was the best choice at the time.

00:27:52.963 --> 00:27:53.922
I'll look into it.

00:28:00.387 --> 00:28:01.221
What?

00:28:02.389 --> 00:28:03.640
Taxi.

00:28:04.975 --> 00:28:07.394
I want to see the ad on that taxi.

00:28:07.477 --> 00:28:08.896
What? Taxi?

00:28:11.481 --> 00:28:13.984
There's a symbol on the ad of that taxi

00:28:14.067 --> 00:28:18.155
that looks exactly like
Ms. Lee Ji-yeong's key chain.

00:28:18.238 --> 00:28:19.865
I want to check what it is.

00:28:19.948 --> 00:28:22.117
And why should we check that?

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.244
Right. If it's another one
of your random obsessions--

00:28:24.328 --> 00:28:25.579
Is everyone buckled up?

00:28:36.924 --> 00:28:38.050
What's wrong with him?

00:28:49.603 --> 00:28:50.437
Young-woo.

00:28:54.316 --> 00:28:56.151
Attorney Woo. Take a good look.

00:28:59.821 --> 00:29:03.116
THE START OF A NEW LIFE AT HUIMANG

00:29:05.535 --> 00:29:07.162
"Specialization in infertility treatment."

00:29:07.788 --> 00:29:09.623
"Huimang Women's Hospital"?

00:29:30.727 --> 00:29:32.854
You said you work with Attorney Woo?

00:29:33.522 --> 00:29:38.151
Do you think you can make
Attorney Woo quit Hanbada?

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.820
Excuse me?

00:29:39.903 --> 00:29:42.990
It doesn't matter
if she quits or gets fired.

00:29:52.082 --> 00:29:54.918
LEGAL CONSULTATION STATEMENT

00:29:59.381 --> 00:30:00.799
What are you up to?

00:30:01.675 --> 00:30:02.718
Work.

00:30:02.801 --> 00:30:03.927
I'm working.

00:30:08.682 --> 00:30:09.725
I see.

00:30:11.768 --> 00:30:13.520
You don't mind me sitting here, right?

00:30:17.858 --> 00:30:19.776
I have to get myself one of these.

00:30:22.904 --> 00:30:23.947
Well…

00:30:26.366 --> 00:30:27.200
So…

00:30:27.951 --> 00:30:29.494
How is it

00:30:31.163 --> 00:30:32.998
working at a major law firm?

00:30:34.791 --> 00:30:35.959
What?

00:30:36.710 --> 00:30:37.669
For me,

00:30:38.628 --> 00:30:39.880
it can sometimes be

00:30:41.006 --> 00:30:42.049
miserable.

00:30:43.091 --> 00:30:47.929
You know, at major law firms,
we have to do unjust things

00:30:48.972 --> 00:30:52.434
and bully the weak as well.

00:30:53.185 --> 00:30:56.438
Because those who can afford attorneys
with high commission fees like us

00:30:57.731 --> 00:31:00.359
are the rich and powerful.

00:31:05.364 --> 00:31:06.823
Do you know…

00:31:08.492 --> 00:31:11.578
who came up with Mir Life's strategy
for the restructuring?

00:31:12.704 --> 00:31:13.580
What?

00:31:14.331 --> 00:31:15.290
We did.

00:31:17.542 --> 00:31:18.585
What?

00:31:19.836 --> 00:31:21.004
It was Hanbada.

00:31:24.132 --> 00:31:28.470
I looked at the consultation statement
Hanbada sent to Mir Life last year

00:31:28.553 --> 00:31:29.930
and it was all written there.

00:31:30.013 --> 00:31:33.183
"Officially, you have to say that
the husband will be penalized

00:31:33.266 --> 00:31:34.768
to avoid * discrimination."

00:31:34.851 --> 00:31:37.229
"Even if it's not much,
giving a small severance pay

00:31:37.312 --> 00:31:39.689
will be advantageous
to claim voluntary resignation."

00:31:39.773 --> 00:31:41.608
"Make it seem like
the switch to being a contract employee

00:31:41.691 --> 00:31:44.152
is a benefit that is only offered to
those who resign."

00:31:45.195 --> 00:31:46.279
All this…

00:31:47.114 --> 00:31:49.825
was a trick that Hanbada taught Mir Life.

00:31:51.326 --> 00:31:54.079
Then did Mir Life come up with that policy

00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:58.875
with the intention to fire
the female employees in the first place?

00:31:59.501 --> 00:32:00.419
Yes.

00:32:01.711 --> 00:32:04.714
They used the M&A as an excuse
to fire almost 100 female employees

00:32:04.798 --> 00:32:07.092
and transitioned them
into non-full-time positions

00:32:07.175 --> 00:32:09.719
while receiving consultation
from a major law firm

00:32:09.803 --> 00:32:12.222
so they wouldn't
face any issues in the future.

00:32:13.098 --> 00:32:14.808
It's very clever * discrimination.

00:32:15.725 --> 00:32:17.519
If only the Three Musketeers

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:20.856
could prove this,
they'd have a chance of winning.

00:32:22.357 --> 00:32:23.817
I guess that won't be happening.

00:32:24.317 --> 00:32:26.528
Seeing Attorney Ryu on TV…

00:32:27.237 --> 00:32:28.447
Have you seen her on TV?

00:32:29.322 --> 00:32:33.326
Her office looked like some corner store.

00:32:33.410 --> 00:32:35.704
Do you think she can get
any proper investigation done?

00:32:35.787 --> 00:32:36.997
Probably not.

00:32:37.622 --> 00:32:40.417
Even if she wants to hire an employee
like Jun-ho, would she be able to?

00:32:41.001 --> 00:32:42.669
No, because she can't afford it.

00:32:43.295 --> 00:32:44.504
Don't you agree?

00:32:48.633 --> 00:32:51.303
I'm going to stop grumbling
and get back to work.

00:32:53.305 --> 00:32:54.264
Right.

00:32:55.432 --> 00:32:57.476
This is the consultation statement,

00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.936
and it has everything I just mentioned.

00:33:01.188 --> 00:33:03.023
Would you like to give it a read?

00:33:04.399 --> 00:33:05.692
Take your time.

00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:07.652
LEGAL CONSULTATION STATEMENT

00:33:07.736 --> 00:33:10.989
"Recipient, Mir Life Corporation.
Sender, Hanbada Law Firm."

00:33:11.072 --> 00:33:12.449
"Title, Review of…"

00:33:14.242 --> 00:33:15.911
No, I didn't mean that

00:33:16.786 --> 00:33:18.163
you should read it out loud right now.

00:33:21.041 --> 00:33:23.668
Read it quietly on your own.

00:33:28.673 --> 00:33:32.344
"Title, Review of Restructuring
Policy for Married Employee Couples."

00:33:36.556 --> 00:33:37.557
What's this?

00:33:38.642 --> 00:33:42.812
The legal consultation statement
that Hanbada sent to Mir Life last year.

00:33:42.896 --> 00:33:46.942
Were you aware
of the content of the statement?

00:33:49.611 --> 00:33:51.446
Of course, I knew.

00:33:52.280 --> 00:33:53.990
How did you even find this?

00:33:54.074 --> 00:33:55.492
Then did Hanbada really help

00:33:56.076 --> 00:33:59.079
Mir Life fire only the female employees?

00:33:59.162 --> 00:34:00.956
Did you teach them

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.959
how to cleverly discriminate
in a way that wouldn't be illegal?

00:34:04.042 --> 00:34:07.629
No, that's not how it should be phrased.

00:34:07.712 --> 00:34:09.214
We merely gave our opinion

00:34:09.297 --> 00:34:14.094
so our client could achieve their goals
without any legal problems.

00:34:14.177 --> 00:34:16.221
If we win this trial,

00:34:16.304 --> 00:34:19.975
we'll be playing a part in legalizing
the firing of female employees first.

00:34:20.058 --> 00:34:24.271
And in a shameful way at that,
by taking issue with the fact that

00:34:24.354 --> 00:34:25.564
Ms. Lee was treated for infertility.

00:34:26.314 --> 00:34:29.234
It's a shame a dolphin
jumped so high when I saw

00:34:29.317 --> 00:34:31.111
the Huimang Women's Hospital logo.

00:34:31.194 --> 00:34:33.238
What? Dolphin, jump, what?

00:34:33.321 --> 00:34:35.865
If we can't give up representing Mir Life,

00:34:35.949 --> 00:34:39.911
what if we at least keep silent about
Ms. Lee's infertility treatment?

00:34:39.995 --> 00:34:44.082
If we can't contribute to making
the world a better place as attorneys--

00:34:44.165 --> 00:34:45.542
Attorney Woo.

00:34:45.625 --> 00:34:50.088
Who told you that attorneys contribute to
making the world a better place?

00:34:50.797 --> 00:34:53.717
-Excuse me?
-What an attorney does is defend.

00:34:54.342 --> 00:34:56.344
It's our job as attorneys
to protect the client's rights

00:34:56.428 --> 00:34:59.973
and do our best
to prevent the client's losses.

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:03.977
Our legal expertise is supposed
to be used for that,

00:35:04.060 --> 00:35:06.438
not to make the world a better place.

00:35:06.521 --> 00:35:10.692
And what would make the world
a better place to begin with?

00:35:10.775 --> 00:35:13.486
Isn't it the judge's job to judge that?

00:35:13.570 --> 00:35:15.488
"The mission of any
attorney-at-law shall be

00:35:15.572 --> 00:35:17.824
to defend fundamental human rights
and realize social justice."

00:35:17.907 --> 00:35:20.035
It's Paragraph 1, Article 1
of the Attorney-at-Law Act.

00:35:20.118 --> 00:35:21.661
Exactly!

00:35:21.745 --> 00:35:25.123
Aren't we defending Mir Life right now?

00:35:25.206 --> 00:35:30.337
It's the judge's job to decide
which side is socially just, not ours!

00:35:31.630 --> 00:35:32.922
Are you…

00:35:34.924 --> 00:35:36.176
getting angry?

00:35:36.259 --> 00:35:38.303
No, I'm not!

00:35:40.972 --> 00:35:44.142
Even when your brows are lowered,
your cheekbones are raised,

00:35:44.768 --> 00:35:47.145
and your nostrils are flaring?

00:35:47.812 --> 00:35:52.108
These are the typical signs
of when someone is angry.

00:35:56.237 --> 00:35:57.364
Anyway.

00:35:58.114 --> 00:36:00.909
Do thorough research
on infertility treatments,

00:36:00.992 --> 00:36:03.828
and question
Ms. Lee Ji-yeong properly. Okay?

00:36:03.912 --> 00:36:06.414
If you don't, I will.

00:36:15.173 --> 00:36:16.424
DOLPHINS BELONG IN THE WIDE OCEAN,
NOT AN AQUARIUM

00:36:16.508 --> 00:36:17.676
It's a dolphin!

00:36:18.885 --> 00:36:19.928
-Hello.
-Hello.

00:36:20.011 --> 00:36:20.887
Hi.

00:36:20.970 --> 00:36:22.347
This dolphin is so cute.

00:36:22.430 --> 00:36:23.348
Come on, kids.

00:36:23.431 --> 00:36:24.349
-Okay.
-Okay.

00:36:27.811 --> 00:36:30.772
STOP DISPLAYING DOLPHINS AND RELEASE THEM

00:36:33.483 --> 00:36:38.238
There's also a protest
in front of Mir Life right now,

00:36:38.321 --> 00:36:43.284
but I'm turning a blind eye to that
and instead doing another protest.

00:36:44.160 --> 00:36:46.538
I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

00:36:46.621 --> 00:36:50.125
You're not doing this protest
to free the dolphins as an attorney.

00:36:50.208 --> 00:36:51.835
We're…

00:36:53.002 --> 00:36:55.088
on a date right now.

00:36:55.171 --> 00:36:58.091
Then what am I supposed to do
as an attorney?

00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.719
Should I listen to what Attorney Jung said

00:37:00.802 --> 00:37:03.638
and leave the judgment
of what's right or wrong to a judge

00:37:03.722 --> 00:37:06.224
and only focus on defending the client?

00:37:06.307 --> 00:37:07.392
Well…

00:37:08.977 --> 00:37:10.687
Working at Hanbada,

00:37:10.770 --> 00:37:14.315
I've seen a lot of attorneys
who were stressed about that same thing.

00:37:14.399 --> 00:37:17.902
Rookies, junior attorneys,
senior attorneys, all of them.

00:37:18.528 --> 00:37:20.321
-Really?
-Yes.

00:37:20.405 --> 00:37:24.284
There are attorneys like Attorney Jung
who have reached their answers,

00:37:24.367 --> 00:37:27.871
but there are also attorneys
who continue to contemplate.

00:37:27.954 --> 00:37:31.166
And some attorneys end up
leaving the firm because of that.

00:37:31.249 --> 00:37:34.002
Is it because Hanbada is a major law firm?

00:37:34.085 --> 00:37:35.712
But the funny thing is

00:37:35.795 --> 00:37:39.382
there's no other place that's more active
in public service than a big law firm.

00:37:39.924 --> 00:37:41.384
I bet you there are no law firms in Korea

00:37:41.468 --> 00:37:44.262
that take as many public interest cases
as Hanbada and Taesan.

00:37:45.096 --> 00:37:46.473
This is hard.

00:37:46.556 --> 00:37:49.893
It's even more difficult
after hearing what you said.

00:37:49.976 --> 00:37:52.604
It's not an issue with an easy answer.

00:37:52.687 --> 00:37:55.356
Just take some time,
and think about it slowly.

00:37:55.982 --> 00:37:59.402
I'll always cheer for you
no matter what you decide to do.

00:38:07.160 --> 00:38:09.954
"I solemnly swear that
I will tell the truth, the whole truth,

00:38:10.038 --> 00:38:11.456
and nothing but the truth,

00:38:11.539 --> 00:38:13.708
and agree to receive punishment
in accordance with perjury

00:38:13.792 --> 00:38:15.251
should there be any falsehood."

00:38:16.044 --> 00:38:18.254
Defendant's counselor, begin questioning.

00:38:42.821 --> 00:38:44.489
When did you find out that

00:38:44.572 --> 00:38:49.118
Mir Life was going to be acquired
by SB Life, a German insurance company?

00:38:49.911 --> 00:38:51.412
Around last year.

00:38:51.496 --> 00:38:54.207
You used a lot of paid time off last year.

00:38:54.290 --> 00:38:57.085
And for a few months,
you left work early three days a week.

00:38:57.168 --> 00:38:58.127
Why is that?

00:38:58.753 --> 00:39:00.630
I had doctor's appointments.

00:39:01.923 --> 00:39:03.716
But it was only last year.

00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:05.760
In the eight years
I've worked for this company,

00:39:05.844 --> 00:39:07.846
I had never taken time off
as often as I did last year.

00:39:07.929 --> 00:39:11.057
What is the name
of the hospital you went to?

00:39:13.101 --> 00:39:15.019
Huimang Women's Hospital.

00:39:15.103 --> 00:39:16.521
Huimang Women's Hospital

00:39:16.604 --> 00:39:19.107
is a maternity clinic specializing
in infertility treatments, correct?

00:39:21.150 --> 00:39:22.402
Yes.

00:39:24.904 --> 00:39:28.157
For IVF, which is one of the ways
to treat infertility,

00:39:28.241 --> 00:39:31.494
one must visit a hospital three times
a week for a month.

00:39:31.578 --> 00:39:34.289
If one has a job,
they would have to leave early.

00:39:34.956 --> 00:39:38.418
On the days when eggs are collected
or embryos are implanted,

00:39:38.501 --> 00:39:40.336
one would most likely have to
take the day off.

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:43.882
Did you also get off work early

00:39:43.965 --> 00:39:47.510
and take frequent days off for IVF?

00:39:50.346 --> 00:39:51.347
Yes.

00:39:59.772 --> 00:40:02.150
Then to you, the suggestion
of voluntary resignation

00:40:02.233 --> 00:40:04.903
would've been a great opportunity to
focus on receiving infertility treatments.

00:40:05.570 --> 00:40:08.281
Since you had plans for pregnancy.

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:18.124
How is that relevant?

00:40:18.917 --> 00:40:21.628
I failed to get pregnant,

00:40:21.711 --> 00:40:25.048
but even if I had succeeded, I would've
continued to work at the company.

00:40:37.894 --> 00:40:40.063
Under the Labor Standards Act,
female workers receive

00:40:40.146 --> 00:40:43.191
90 days of paid vacation
before and after they give birth.

00:40:43.274 --> 00:40:45.860
At the last hearing,
the plaintiff's counselor mentioned

00:40:45.944 --> 00:40:49.364
the one month of paid leave that
the witness, Ms. Choi, had received,

00:40:49.447 --> 00:40:53.117
and said that it was
an exceptional benefit for a company

00:40:53.201 --> 00:40:54.911
under such difficult circumstances.

00:40:55.662 --> 00:40:59.332
Then, doesn't this also apply
to the 90 days of maternity leave?

00:40:59.415 --> 00:41:02.752
Objection. The plaintiff received IVF
way before it was suggested

00:41:02.835 --> 00:41:05.296
that she voluntarily resign.

00:41:06.005 --> 00:41:09.092
The plaintiff's infertility treatments and
the voluntary resignation are irrelevant.

00:41:19.686 --> 00:41:20.728
Well…

00:41:21.729 --> 00:41:22.689
Overruled.

00:41:23.356 --> 00:41:25.400
Defendant's counselor,
continue questioning.

00:41:28.027 --> 00:41:30.863
Plaintiff, please give an honest answer.

00:41:31.698 --> 00:41:33.825
Didn't you decide that it'd be better
to take this opportunity

00:41:33.908 --> 00:41:35.952
to get severance pay and resign
so that you could prepare for pregnancy

00:41:36.035 --> 00:41:39.664
rather than to hold out
at a company in a crisis?

00:42:03.813 --> 00:42:05.064
Excuse me.

00:42:10.028 --> 00:42:11.404
My name is Woo Young-woo.

00:42:11.988 --> 00:42:13.781
Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.

00:42:13.865 --> 00:42:16.159
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

00:42:19.037 --> 00:42:20.872
I'm Ryu Jae-sook.

00:42:20.955 --> 00:42:22.582
If it's flipped, it's Sook-jae Ryu.

00:42:24.542 --> 00:42:26.044
Okay.

00:42:26.127 --> 00:42:29.005
I saw you in the newspaper.

00:42:29.672 --> 00:42:32.133
"The first autistic attorney
of the Republic of Korea."

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.262
I wondered what kind of attorney
this person would turn out to be,

00:42:36.345 --> 00:42:38.723
but I see you
eventually ended up at Hanbada.

00:42:38.806 --> 00:42:41.309
I thought you'd work somewhere cooler.

00:42:42.018 --> 00:42:43.394
Somewhere cooler?

00:42:43.478 --> 00:42:47.857
Yes. For example, somewhere like
the Law Office of Ryu Jae-sook.

00:42:49.525 --> 00:42:50.568
Right.

00:42:50.651 --> 00:42:53.154
Isn't it cooler to stand on the side
of brave women laborers,

00:42:53.237 --> 00:42:56.324
instead of defending a client
like Mir Life?

00:42:57.658 --> 00:43:00.119
An attorney is someone who defends.

00:43:00.787 --> 00:43:03.539
It's an attorney's job
to protect the client's rights

00:43:03.623 --> 00:43:05.833
and do the best to prevent
the client's losses.

00:43:06.417 --> 00:43:10.129
It's not an attorney's job
to make a value judgment

00:43:10.213 --> 00:43:12.131
about which client would make them cooler.

00:43:12.215 --> 00:43:14.926
But attorneys are human.

00:43:16.594 --> 00:43:18.930
They're different
from judges and prosecutors.

00:43:20.014 --> 00:43:22.725
-Sorry?
-We all work in the legal field,

00:43:22.809 --> 00:43:25.394
but while judges and prosecutors work
to protect the law,

00:43:25.478 --> 00:43:27.313
attorneys work to protect the people.

00:43:28.231 --> 00:43:31.776
Each case might just be work
for a judge or a prosecutor,

00:43:31.859 --> 00:43:34.570
but it's different for an attorney.

00:43:35.571 --> 00:43:37.782
We sit next to the client…

00:43:39.784 --> 00:43:42.703
as someone they chose for protection

00:43:43.371 --> 00:43:45.081
and as fellow humans.

00:43:45.164 --> 00:43:46.707
"You weren't wrong."

00:43:47.375 --> 00:43:49.127
"I support you."

00:43:49.752 --> 00:43:52.296
Saying these things
and showing them support

00:43:52.922 --> 00:43:54.507
are also part of our job.

00:43:55.007 --> 00:43:58.636
To do that, we have to judge
for ourselves what is right

00:43:59.470 --> 00:44:01.139
in terms of who we defend.

00:44:01.806 --> 00:44:04.350
You can't lie to yourself.

00:44:14.402 --> 00:44:15.403
What?

00:44:16.404 --> 00:44:18.614
Attorney Woo is with Attorney Ryu.

00:44:23.286 --> 00:44:25.163
What could they be talking about?

00:44:25.746 --> 00:44:26.789
I wonder too.

00:44:49.979 --> 00:44:52.607
-What are you doing?
-What? Why do you ask?

00:44:54.025 --> 00:44:56.903
You were trying to go
into Young-woo's office. What is it?

00:44:56.986 --> 00:44:59.864
I could have something
to ask Attorney Woo.

00:45:00.781 --> 00:45:04.201
What are you? The Kayak Deed Protector?
Why does it concern you?

00:45:04.285 --> 00:45:06.537
Young-woo left with Jun-ho earlier.

00:45:06.621 --> 00:45:08.247
She's obviously not here.
Her lights are off.

00:45:08.331 --> 00:45:10.291
Where would she be going
with Jun-ho at this hour?

00:45:11.709 --> 00:45:14.253
I thought you live with Jun-ho.
You don't know?

00:45:15.630 --> 00:45:17.548
-The two of them…
-What about them?

00:45:19.467 --> 00:45:20.885
They're seeing each other.

00:45:21.594 --> 00:45:23.429
They're seeing each other?

00:45:25.765 --> 00:45:28.100
-Why?
-What do you mean?

00:45:28.184 --> 00:45:30.144
They just are!

00:45:30.227 --> 00:45:32.021
You're so annoying.

00:45:32.104 --> 00:45:33.481
Get out of my way.

00:46:03.094 --> 00:46:05.137
LEGAL CONSULTATION STATEMENT

00:46:15.022 --> 00:46:17.108
LAW OFFICE OF RYU JAE-SOOK

00:46:17.191 --> 00:46:18.192
ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

00:46:41.298 --> 00:46:43.342
What's wrong?
Are you looking for something?

00:46:43.926 --> 00:46:45.302
I'm looking for my father.

00:46:45.928 --> 00:46:46.762
What?

00:46:47.763 --> 00:46:51.225
My father said he saw us
kissing last time.

00:46:51.308 --> 00:46:52.435
What?

00:46:54.520 --> 00:46:56.564
He told me to bring you to meet him.

00:46:56.647 --> 00:46:58.774
But I'm not going to.

00:46:58.858 --> 00:47:01.110
Because we're not dating yet.

00:47:01.193 --> 00:47:02.153
What…

00:47:04.196 --> 00:47:07.033
We're not…

00:47:08.034 --> 00:47:09.076
dating yet?

00:47:09.660 --> 00:47:10.619
Well…

00:47:11.871 --> 00:47:14.081
We never said we were dating, right?

00:47:14.165 --> 00:47:17.293
Well…

00:47:17.376 --> 00:47:19.545
Or did we?

00:47:20.129 --> 00:47:21.130
Then…

00:47:21.714 --> 00:47:24.592
are we dating?

00:47:25.176 --> 00:47:26.719
If we're not dating,

00:47:27.470 --> 00:47:31.223
why would I protest
to free the dolphins on my day off?

00:47:31.307 --> 00:47:32.224
What?

00:47:33.267 --> 00:47:36.062
Do you not agree
that dolphins should be freed?

00:47:36.771 --> 00:47:38.731
Of course, I do.

00:47:39.273 --> 00:47:44.153
But it's not the most ideal activity to do
on someone's day off.

00:47:44.779 --> 00:47:46.697
It's not like it's fun.

00:47:49.116 --> 00:47:50.493
It's not…

00:47:51.243 --> 00:47:52.286
fun?

00:47:52.369 --> 00:47:53.370
I mean…

00:47:57.750 --> 00:47:59.085
Honestly,

00:48:00.002 --> 00:48:02.755
the list that you made.

00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:05.216
"Things to do on dates"?

00:48:05.299 --> 00:48:06.217
Yes.

00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:07.843
I'm not…

00:48:08.552 --> 00:48:09.678
used to those things.

00:48:10.471 --> 00:48:13.474
People typically don't do
those things on dates.

00:48:13.557 --> 00:48:16.352
Things like picking up garbage
while jogging by the Han River.

00:48:23.442 --> 00:48:24.985
Jun-ho!

00:48:25.528 --> 00:48:26.487
Hey…

00:48:37.414 --> 00:48:39.583
That day, you really

00:48:39.667 --> 00:48:41.794
only picked up garbage.

00:48:42.419 --> 00:48:45.422
You picked up garbage again and again
as the day got brighter

00:48:45.506 --> 00:48:48.134
until that huge basket was full.

00:48:51.053 --> 00:48:53.722
Would there be anyone else

00:48:54.348 --> 00:48:55.850
who goes on these kinds of dates?

00:48:57.017 --> 00:48:59.019
We did go on typical dates.

00:48:59.103 --> 00:49:01.689
For example,
we went to famous restaurants.

00:49:01.772 --> 00:49:05.067
They were all gimbap places.
We ate nothing but gimbap that day.

00:49:05.151 --> 00:49:08.195
The list has things you want to do too.

00:49:08.279 --> 00:49:11.282
We went to the arcade
because you wanted to.

00:49:11.365 --> 00:49:13.576
It was very loud, but I held it in.

00:49:13.659 --> 00:49:16.745
Okay, but we only played
"Find the Difference" for three hours.

00:49:47.443 --> 00:49:48.944
Attorney Woo.

00:49:49.028 --> 00:49:51.280
You're great at this.

00:49:55.701 --> 00:49:59.580
And you were too good at it,
so it wasn't fun for me.

00:50:01.081 --> 00:50:02.082
Then…

00:50:02.875 --> 00:50:06.545
Then why do you keep
going on dates with me?

00:50:07.213 --> 00:50:08.422
It's not even fun for you.

00:50:08.505 --> 00:50:10.216
Because I like you!

00:50:10.299 --> 00:50:14.220
I did the protest to free the dolphins,
picked up trash while jogging,

00:50:14.303 --> 00:50:16.472
and went to all those famous gimbap places
because I like you.

00:50:16.555 --> 00:50:17.973
And yet we're still not…

00:50:18.766 --> 00:50:20.059
officially together?

00:50:20.809 --> 00:50:22.603
That really…

00:50:26.190 --> 00:50:28.943
just hurts me, you know that?

00:50:34.949 --> 00:50:36.033
Right.

00:50:43.624 --> 00:50:46.919
Plaintiff's counselor,
you submitted new evidence, right?

00:50:48.420 --> 00:50:50.130
Yes, Your Honor.

00:50:50.214 --> 00:50:52.341
It's proof that
Mir Life had thoroughly planned

00:50:52.424 --> 00:50:53.926
the *ually discriminatory
restructuring policy

00:50:54.009 --> 00:50:58.347
with the intent to fire
the female employees from the beginning.

00:50:58.931 --> 00:51:02.476
An anonymous informant
sent it to our office.

00:51:30.421 --> 00:51:32.381
I present to you
the original work notebook

00:51:32.464 --> 00:51:35.884
of Mr. Moon Jong-cheol,
the Head of HR at Mir Life.

00:51:35.968 --> 00:51:40.180
I submitted the scanned copies
of the pages in question today.

00:51:40.264 --> 00:51:42.766
Wait, is that really your notebook?

00:51:42.850 --> 00:51:45.853
The company gave them out
to all the employees last year.

00:51:46.437 --> 00:51:48.981
Mine should be in my office.

00:51:52.776 --> 00:51:55.821
If you take a look at the notebook,
you can see that Mr. Moon

00:51:55.904 --> 00:51:59.158
has a habit of taking notes
during his phone calls.

00:52:00.326 --> 00:52:02.494
Those notes were taken
during a phone call in April last year

00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:06.790
with Mir Life's Executive Director,
Choi Seung-cheol.

00:52:06.874 --> 00:52:10.878
Executive Director Choi
clearly gave Mr. Moon the order

00:52:10.961 --> 00:52:13.130
to get the wives to voluntarily resign

00:52:13.213 --> 00:52:15.883
by notifying them that
their husbands will be penalized.

00:52:19.386 --> 00:52:21.096
-Is that true?
-That's undeniable.

00:52:21.180 --> 00:52:23.140
-Goodness.
-That's undeniable proof.

00:52:26.226 --> 00:52:29.104
Mr. Moon, is this true?

00:52:29.188 --> 00:52:31.231
Is that your notebook?

00:52:32.441 --> 00:52:33.984
I did write that.

00:52:34.068 --> 00:52:35.694
But I don't know how that…

00:52:36.445 --> 00:52:37.946
ended up in their hands.

00:52:38.030 --> 00:52:39.281
Your Honor.

00:52:39.365 --> 00:52:43.327
Mr. Moon has not agreed to his personal
notebook being used as evidence.

00:52:43.410 --> 00:52:45.829
Therefore, this evidence
has been collected illegally.

00:52:45.913 --> 00:52:48.582
This pertains to the
Criminal Procedure Act, Article 300…

00:52:49.416 --> 00:52:50.667
Three…

00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:53.045
Three…

00:52:55.756 --> 00:52:57.966
The Criminal Procedure Act, Article 300…

00:52:59.802 --> 00:53:00.761
What is it?

00:53:02.846 --> 00:53:06.308
You know, the thing about the illegal
collection of evidence.

00:53:06.392 --> 00:53:07.226
Right.

00:53:07.309 --> 00:53:10.896
"Article 308-2 of the Criminal
Procedure Act. Any evidence obtained

00:53:10.979 --> 00:53:12.981
in violation of the due process
shall not be admissible"?

00:53:13.065 --> 00:53:15.484
Yes, according to the article
you heard just now,

00:53:15.567 --> 00:53:18.487
Mr. Moon's notebook
is not admissible as evidence.

00:53:19.071 --> 00:53:20.406
Please exclude it from the evidence.

00:53:22.074 --> 00:53:23.075
Well…

00:53:23.158 --> 00:53:26.995
But that's a Criminal Procedure Act.
This trial is a civil procedure.

00:53:28.288 --> 00:53:32.042
But that's a Criminal Procedure Act.
This trial is a civil procedure.

00:53:32.709 --> 00:53:34.044
Isn't it the discretion of the court

00:53:34.128 --> 00:53:35.337
to accept evidence
according to the Civil Procedure Act,

00:53:35.421 --> 00:53:37.881
which adopts the Principle
of Free Evaluation of Evidence?

00:53:38.674 --> 00:53:42.553
I look forward to your wise judgment,
Judge Ryu Myeong-ha.

00:53:45.889 --> 00:53:48.392
ATTORNEY RYU JAE-SOOK

00:53:58.068 --> 00:54:01.572
This notebook was sent
by an anonymous informant?

00:54:01.655 --> 00:54:02.739
Yes, Your Honor.

00:54:03.615 --> 00:54:07.494
Then, even if the evidence
was collected illegally,

00:54:08.036 --> 00:54:09.621
the degree of violation of the procedure

00:54:10.414 --> 00:54:13.333
is not large enough to refuse
the acceptance of the evidence.

00:54:14.001 --> 00:54:15.419
I acknowledge
the admissibility of your evidence.

00:54:24.386 --> 00:54:25.345
It's all right.

00:55:05.260 --> 00:55:06.887
HEAD OF HR
MOON JONG-CHEOL

00:55:26.031 --> 00:55:30.452
You said all the employees are family.
Aren't female employees also family?

00:55:30.536 --> 00:55:32.621
Admit wrongful termination!

00:55:32.704 --> 00:55:34.748
-Admit!
-Admit!

00:55:34.831 --> 00:55:38.252
A rally was held in front of Mir Life's HQ
to denounce Mir Life's dismissal

00:55:38.335 --> 00:55:41.338
of female employees first
among married employee couples.

00:55:41.421 --> 00:55:45.050
The rally was attended by female employees
who were fired from Mir Life,

00:55:45.133 --> 00:55:48.387
as well as dozens of members
of women's organizations and labor unions.

00:55:48.470 --> 00:55:51.181
Meanwhile, two of
the fired female employees filed a lawsuit

00:55:51.265 --> 00:55:53.725
to confirm the invalidity
of their termination.

00:55:53.809 --> 00:55:55.602
Participants of the rally

00:55:55.686 --> 00:55:58.272
said they plan to file
a written statement to the court.

00:55:58.355 --> 00:56:01.441
The public are wondering
whether the rally will affect the ruling.

00:56:04.695 --> 00:56:06.113
Now, for the verdict.

00:56:23.422 --> 00:56:24.548
Formal adjudication.

00:56:25.424 --> 00:56:28.051
All claims of the plaintiffs
are dismissed.

00:56:28.802 --> 00:56:31.513
And the litigation costs
are to be paid by the plaintiffs.

00:56:39.563 --> 00:56:41.982
This court acknowledges
that the defendant urged

00:56:42.065 --> 00:56:45.777
the married employee couples
to voluntarily resign multiple times

00:56:45.861 --> 00:56:49.197
and notified them
of their husbands' termination

00:56:49.281 --> 00:56:51.992
or them being subjected
to unpaid leave if they did not.

00:56:52.951 --> 00:56:55.495
However, designating one of the employees

00:56:55.579 --> 00:56:58.915
of a married employee couple
for this while restructuring

00:56:58.999 --> 00:57:01.293
is acceptable
from the socioeconomic perspective,

00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:05.130
and because they did not specify
that it just applied to the wives,

00:57:05.213 --> 00:57:08.008
it cannot be seen
as an act against gender equality

00:57:08.091 --> 00:57:11.261
or the discrimination
against women as set forth

00:57:11.345 --> 00:57:15.307
by the Constitution
or the Labor Standards Act.

00:57:16.308 --> 00:57:18.226
Furthermore,

00:57:18.310 --> 00:57:22.773
the plaintiffs submitted
their resignation letters

00:57:22.856 --> 00:57:27.110
considering the conditions
of voluntary resignation

00:57:27.194 --> 00:57:29.071
as suggested by the defendant

00:57:29.154 --> 00:57:32.074
and the various circumstances
and interests regarding the options

00:57:32.157 --> 00:57:33.909
of resignation and continuing to work.

00:57:33.992 --> 00:57:35.827
Thus, this cannot be considered invalid.

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:43.210
My goodness.

00:58:00.852 --> 00:58:02.104
Sir.

00:58:02.187 --> 00:58:05.107
You don't look so good.
Is everything okay?

00:58:05.691 --> 00:58:06.984
The ruling was in our favor.

00:58:08.026 --> 00:58:09.903
What's the point of that?

00:58:09.987 --> 00:58:12.739
It doesn't do me any good,
but the company.

00:58:13.490 --> 00:58:14.741
What?

00:58:15.409 --> 00:58:16.743
To be honest,

00:58:17.536 --> 00:58:19.329
I think I'm going to be fired soon.

00:58:19.997 --> 00:58:21.289
Weren't you aware?

00:58:21.373 --> 00:58:22.541
No, I wasn't.

00:58:23.375 --> 00:58:24.710
I see.

00:58:25.460 --> 00:58:28.505
I thought perhaps Hanbada
gave them another consultation.

00:58:29.381 --> 00:58:33.343
"How to fire the Head of HR without
any trouble." Something like that.

00:58:33.427 --> 00:58:35.470
This is the first time
I'm hearing of this.

00:58:36.179 --> 00:58:40.225
Officially, they're firing me because
I didn't succeed with the restructuring.

00:58:40.976 --> 00:58:44.479
The trial, the rally,
and the news reports.

00:58:44.563 --> 00:58:46.023
Things did get out of hand.

00:58:46.773 --> 00:58:47.899
But the more I think about it,

00:58:47.983 --> 00:58:50.902
the more it feels like
this was their plan from the start.

00:58:53.155 --> 00:58:57.200
They want to give my job
to the person that SB Life wants.

00:58:59.453 --> 00:59:03.331
You went through a lot this whole time.
It must be difficult for you.

00:59:04.249 --> 00:59:05.292
No.

00:59:06.084 --> 00:59:09.129
I fired almost 100 employees.

00:59:10.422 --> 00:59:12.591
It wouldn't be right to hope
that things would work out for me.

00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:15.135
It's all karma.

00:59:31.276 --> 00:59:35.489
Regardless of the ruling,
we view this lawsuit positively.

00:59:36.114 --> 00:59:38.700
That's right. We view it as being WLGF!

00:59:39.326 --> 00:59:41.119
We Lost, but it was a Good Fight!

00:59:41.203 --> 00:59:44.539
We feel good
that we at least went to trial!

00:59:44.623 --> 00:59:46.917
-We feel good!
-We feel good!

00:59:49.461 --> 00:59:53.548
We still have the second and final appeal.

00:59:54.216 --> 00:59:59.346
So we will fight even more bravely
for job security and equality!

00:59:59.429 --> 01:00:01.640
-We will!
-We will!

01:00:01.723 --> 01:00:04.768
-Fight!
-Fight!

01:00:04.851 --> 01:00:08.105
-Fight!
-Fight!

01:00:08.188 --> 01:00:12.025
-Fight!
-Fight!

01:00:14.444 --> 01:00:19.241
I'm amazed by the fact that
they're having an after-trial party,

01:00:19.825 --> 01:00:23.036
and it's also weird that we're going
just because we were invited.

01:00:23.578 --> 01:00:25.330
We were the opposing side, after all.

01:00:25.956 --> 01:00:28.041
I want to go. I'm curious.

01:00:29.751 --> 01:00:31.962
Are you interested in those things?

01:00:32.045 --> 01:00:35.841
Dealing with cases about human rights,
women, and labor like Attorney Ryu?

01:00:36.341 --> 01:00:37.259
Well…

01:00:37.968 --> 01:00:39.094
I'm not sure.

01:00:39.594 --> 01:00:41.054
Attorney Ryu

01:00:42.055 --> 01:00:43.765
is like the Yangtze River dolphin.

01:00:44.349 --> 01:00:47.477
Gosh, the Yangtze River dolphin.
I haven't heard about that one in a while.

01:00:47.561 --> 01:00:50.147
Can I tell you
about the Yangtze River dolphin?

01:00:50.230 --> 01:00:51.648
Can I say no?

01:00:54.442 --> 01:00:55.735
Please.

01:00:57.195 --> 01:00:58.697
Dolphins mostly live in the sea,

01:00:58.780 --> 01:01:00.866
but some populations adapt to rivers,

01:01:00.949 --> 01:01:02.868
and the Yangtze River dolphin
is a model example of that.

01:01:02.951 --> 01:01:05.370
Just like their name,
they lived in the Yangtze River in China,

01:01:05.453 --> 01:01:07.664
but they were declared extinct in 2007.

01:01:08.456 --> 01:01:12.043
So how does Attorney Ryu
resemble the Yangtze River dolphin?

01:01:14.045 --> 01:01:15.630
Attorney Ryu

01:01:16.214 --> 01:01:19.384
is the type of attorney
you can't find at Hanbada.

01:01:20.510 --> 01:01:22.554
I just hope she doesn't go extinct.

01:01:41.406 --> 01:01:42.657
*UALLY DISCRIMINATORY RESTRUCTURING

01:01:42.741 --> 01:01:44.075
THERE SHOULDN'T BE RESTRUCTURING!

01:01:58.048 --> 01:01:59.507
You're doing it again.

01:01:59.591 --> 01:02:01.092
Just leave it be.

01:02:01.176 --> 01:02:03.803
It's not easy to just leave it alone.

01:02:03.887 --> 01:02:04.846
Gosh.

01:02:09.392 --> 01:02:10.852
I'M ROOTING FOR YOU, ATTORNEY RYU

01:02:10.936 --> 01:02:12.896
MEANINGFUL LOSS!

01:02:15.148 --> 01:02:17.442
I wonder what it's like to receive
this kind of support.

01:02:17.525 --> 01:02:19.236
Even when she lost.

01:02:19.319 --> 01:02:20.278
Right.

01:02:21.488 --> 01:02:22.447
Me too.

01:02:22.530 --> 01:02:26.159
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED!
LET'S OVERCOME! LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER!

01:02:26.243 --> 01:02:27.702
Goodness! You're here.

01:02:29.579 --> 01:02:31.623
We were on the roof.
Let's head up together.

01:02:31.706 --> 01:02:32.874
Okay.

01:02:33.583 --> 01:02:34.417
Right.

01:02:34.918 --> 01:02:36.419
Why don't you head upstairs first?

01:02:36.503 --> 01:02:38.672
I have something to give to Attorney Woo.

01:02:38.755 --> 01:02:40.048
Okay.

01:02:50.016 --> 01:02:51.935
I wanted to return this.

01:02:56.231 --> 01:02:57.274
LEGAL CONSULTATION STATEMENT

01:02:59.985 --> 01:03:03.697
Why do you have this?

01:03:03.780 --> 01:03:05.991
You didn't send it to me?

01:03:06.950 --> 01:03:07.993
No, I didn't.

01:03:11.329 --> 01:03:13.456
Your business card was in it.

01:03:14.582 --> 01:03:17.585
As if you had sent it to me in secret.

01:03:21.423 --> 01:03:24.259
It seems as though it's complicated
within Hanbada as well.

01:03:24.926 --> 01:03:28.805
You should watch out for yourself.

01:03:29.681 --> 01:03:34.811
So you had this the whole time
but didn't use it as evidence?

01:03:34.894 --> 01:03:37.981
If I did, you would've been in trouble.

01:03:40.442 --> 01:03:43.069
And it's not like I didn't have
other ways to get evidence.

01:03:50.952 --> 01:03:51.995
Come.

01:03:57.792 --> 01:03:58.918
Hello.

01:03:59.002 --> 01:04:00.128
Sit over here.

01:04:02.505 --> 01:04:04.299
We were making bibimbap.

01:04:04.382 --> 01:04:06.760
The vegetables Attorney Ryu grows
up here on the roof are so fresh.

01:04:06.843 --> 01:04:09.554
I'm a farmer on the side.

01:04:09.637 --> 01:04:10.722
Roof farming.

01:04:10.805 --> 01:04:13.850
But it seems like I'm better at farming
than I am at my main job.

01:04:17.687 --> 01:04:20.648
Do you only have bibimbap? No gimbap?

01:04:20.732 --> 01:04:23.026
I can't see the ingredients
in bibimbap all at once,

01:04:23.109 --> 01:04:25.820
so I could be alarmed
by any unexpected textures or flavors.

01:04:26.446 --> 01:04:27.364
What?

01:04:27.447 --> 01:04:28.531
Gimbap?

01:04:28.615 --> 01:04:29.783
Alarmed?

01:04:32.035 --> 01:04:34.829
Then don't mix the ingredients
and eat them all separately.

01:04:35.330 --> 01:04:36.664
Well…

01:04:37.248 --> 01:04:38.625
Just eat what you're given.

01:04:39.334 --> 01:04:40.668
Okay.

01:04:41.252 --> 01:04:43.046
The bibimbap is so pretty.

01:04:43.129 --> 01:04:45.590
We should have come earlier
and helped you prepare.

01:04:45.673 --> 01:04:49.302
We were just relaxing
and taking our time as we made it.

01:04:49.386 --> 01:04:50.678
Reciting poems.

01:04:51.179 --> 01:04:52.180
Reciting poems?

01:04:52.263 --> 01:04:54.849
It turns out that we all love poetry.

01:04:55.433 --> 01:04:57.769
I recited one by the poet Kim Su-young,

01:04:57.852 --> 01:04:59.813
and Hyeon-jeong recited one
by the poet Ko Jung-hee.

01:04:59.896 --> 01:05:01.689
And now it's Attorney Ryu's turn.

01:05:01.773 --> 01:05:04.192
Is this the time to be reciting poems?

01:05:04.275 --> 01:05:06.403
Don't you have an appeal to prepare?

01:05:06.486 --> 01:05:08.279
-Right.
-That's right.

01:05:10.865 --> 01:05:11.866
You're right.

01:05:11.950 --> 01:05:14.077
Hanbada's attorneys sure are different.

01:05:14.160 --> 01:05:15.870
I think I'm going to lose again.

01:05:17.372 --> 01:05:19.290
Come on, we can have fun today.

01:05:19.374 --> 01:05:21.042
It's the after-party.

01:05:21.126 --> 01:05:25.713
I'm so curious as to what poem
Attorney Ryu likes.

01:05:25.797 --> 01:05:29.134
Yes, we want to know. Recite it for us.

01:05:29.217 --> 01:05:30.343
Ryu Jae-sook!

01:05:30.927 --> 01:05:33.847
-Ryu Jae-sook!
-Ryu Jae-sook!

01:05:34.556 --> 01:05:35.974
There she goes!

01:05:43.064 --> 01:05:45.984
"Though there are many sayings,

01:05:46.943 --> 01:05:48.069
life is

01:05:49.154 --> 01:05:51.197
to gladly become a piece of coal

01:05:51.281 --> 01:05:53.908
for someone other than myself."

01:05:55.118 --> 01:05:59.747
"From the day the floors grow cold
to the day spring comes,

01:06:00.498 --> 01:06:04.085
the most beautiful thing
in the streets of the Korean peninsula

01:06:04.752 --> 01:06:08.256
is a truck that fervidly
climbs up the hill

01:06:08.339 --> 01:06:10.508
with coal."

01:06:11.885 --> 01:06:15.722
"As if it knows what it has to do,

01:06:17.140 --> 01:06:20.602
coal burns endlessly

01:06:20.685 --> 01:06:24.689
once its body catches fire,

01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:31.279
but I was oblivious even though
I had warm rice and soup every day."

01:06:32.906 --> 01:06:35.158
"Because I feared becoming
a lonely lump of ashes

01:06:35.867 --> 01:06:39.412
after loving others with my whole being,

01:06:40.455 --> 01:06:44.334
I haven't become coal

01:06:45.293 --> 01:06:46.920
for anyone."

01:06:49.214 --> 01:06:51.132
"When I think about it,

01:06:51.633 --> 01:06:55.386
life is to shatter myself into pieces."

01:06:57.305 --> 01:07:02.393
"I had never thought of

01:07:03.478 --> 01:07:07.774
clearing the streets for others to tread

01:07:09.609 --> 01:07:13.363
when the world is slippery
from early morning snow."

01:07:19.702 --> 01:07:21.120
That was great!

01:07:26.459 --> 01:07:27.961
-Eat.
-Okay.

01:07:28.044 --> 01:07:30.129
-Thank you for the food.
-Enjoy.

01:08:32.483 --> 01:08:33.568
Damn it.

01:08:39.407 --> 01:08:40.450
Damn it.

01:08:51.711 --> 01:08:52.837
Yes, boss.

01:08:53.504 --> 01:08:55.256
I got off on the wrong floor.

01:08:56.132 --> 01:08:58.593
I got both a Phillips head
and a flat head *driver.

01:08:59.302 --> 01:09:00.845
Yes, I'm on my way up.

01:09:11.564 --> 01:09:13.024
Damn it.

01:09:14.067 --> 01:09:14.942
Damn it.

01:09:26.454 --> 01:09:29.499
Attorney Jung, they caught Jang Jae-jin.

01:09:30.083 --> 01:09:33.252
The police caught him
all the way in Changwon,

01:09:33.336 --> 01:09:35.254
so you have nothing
to worry about anymore.

01:09:54.857 --> 01:09:56.275
What the…

01:09:59.237 --> 01:10:00.655
Am I sick?

01:10:46.951 --> 01:10:48.995
Is there really a law
that states that even those

01:10:49.078 --> 01:10:51.622
who did not visit a cultural heritage
must pay the admission fee?

01:10:51.706 --> 01:10:53.040
May I go on a business trip?

01:10:53.124 --> 01:10:54.751
-Where to?
-Jeju Island.

01:10:54.834 --> 01:10:56.753
I'll do my best to earn my keep

01:10:56.836 --> 01:10:58.504
since I'm taking
several rookie attorneys with me.

01:10:58.588 --> 01:11:01.507
We're calling it a business trip, but
isn't this an excuse to go on a vacation?

01:11:01.591 --> 01:11:02.508
They're not open.

01:11:02.592 --> 01:11:04.010
It looks like it's been closed
for quite some time.

01:11:04.093 --> 01:11:06.929
Don't be blinded by what you can see.

01:11:07.013 --> 01:11:08.931
Keep in mind the essence
of what lies beyond that.

01:11:09.015 --> 01:11:11.976
You should bring home a girl
who can make you happy.

01:11:12.059 --> 01:11:13.770
Not someone you have to take care of.
