Poor Ji Yoon. She's pretty much beating herself up over the case she took. She wonder what's the point of even studying if she ends up letting a murderer get off with a lighter penalty. She cries so much, and clutches at her chest. If only your neighbour knew how you were suffering... perhaps he might comfort you.
Jung Sun is called in by the prosecutors and interrogated over her involvement with the CP and funds. She served as Director for a short while but it's clear she wasn't aware of the actual details of what went on within the company. It seems as if her family had placed her in that position as a figurehead. Perhaps, they wanted someone who didn't ask too many questions about the investments they were making because all Jung Sun did was approve the requests for investments and such.
Seok Joo is really disturbed by how Jung Sun is being investigated. He's even more perturbed when he finds out Yurim's chairman doesn't want him to be involved in this legal case. It seems the vice-CEO of Cha Young Woo's firm will be in charge of it. Seok Joo wants to know the details but it's apparently illegal to share files with other lawyers when they are not on the case. Aw, please, you're all in the same firm. What crap are you talking about? All Seok Joo wants to do is help. -shakes head-
Seok Joo decides to contact Yurim's chairman directly. He also explains the situation in the same way that Cha Young Woo does, except he tries to make it seem he's really regretful he can't let Seok Joo handle the case. Please. They end the call, and it turns out Yurim's chairman is also with two other family members. They talk about Seok Joo and how he pretends to care about Yurim now. Gosh, people, you don't know what happened to Seok Joo! He can't remember anything so obviously he's going to be like this.
Seok Joo picks Jung Sun up after her interrogation at the prosecutor's office is over. He sends her back home and she seems to be avoiding him a little. She changes the subject and tells him she's going to get some rest. He calls out after her letting her know he will call her but she doesn't say anything and walks into the house. Seok Joo is stil concerned, and I wish he wasn't so concerned.
Seok Joo reaches home. He looks at Ji Yoon's door and walks over to the ring the bell. I think Sang Tae's little remark about him taking better care of his neighbour made him to that. Ji Yoon stirs from a cramped position on the couch. But she doesn't get up. She's still in her outfit from the court and hasn't done anything the whole day, skipped work and doesn't seem one bit able to move on. Her phone rings, it's her aunt. But she doesn't answer anyway. It seems her aunt has been calling her a number of times already.
The next day, Ji Yoon's aunt goes to Yurim securities again. There's a whole crowd out there, all wanting to get their investments back. She tries calling Ji Yoon again but Ji Yoon doesn't answer. Uh oh. What's happening, Ji Yoon?
Jung Sun and her family are having a discussion on the upcoming trial. Since Jung Sun is the one who's being investigated mainly, the family members are trying to hint at her to take responsibility for the damage by going to jail. Her uncle went in once and if he was to go in again, he would be given a life sentence. Her grandfather is ill, and Jung Sun doesn't want to see him die in jail. The other uncles, I have no idea what's up with them, but everyone seems to have a reason why they can't be arrested. Seok Joo calls her at least twice during that time but she doesn't answer him.
Poor Seok Joo. He's sitting with his dog in the vet's clinic. He gets a text and seems hopeful it's Jung Sun but it's just some advertisement. Aw... he sends a text to Jung Sun telling her to call him. She doesn't obviously.
Seok Joo returns home at night. He spots Ji Yoon sitting downstairs drinking beer. He calls out to her, asking her why she's skipping out on work. He sits with her and talks to her about what she did. He's not angry or disappointed with her. He gives her really solid advice, that although it's important to believe your client is not lying, you have to make your client tell the truth. Ji Yoon seems spirited by his words of encouragement. As he leaves, she wishes him goodnight. Seok Joo tells her to come in tomorrow or he'll send her to another team. She smiles wistfully.
Jung Sun is lying in bed, like a little puppy all lost and lonely. Her phone rings, it's Seok Joo, but she doesn't get up to answer it. I think she's pondering over her trial. Having to sacrifice for the family that threw her dad aside. A parallel is drawn between her and Ji Yoon, who's now in bed, looking through pictures of her family. She smiles and regains her strength, her reason for even becoming a lawyer. She goes to bed.
Next day, Ji Yoon is back at her seat again typing away furiously. Her immediate superior is Seok Joo, but there's that other guy who was in charge of the interns. He makes a snarky remark about Ji Yoon being an intern so she should come to work even if she is sick. Seok Joo walks by coincidentally and tells the guy he had sent her on an errand. She smiles gratefully. Her aunt calls her and asks her for information about Yurim's CP. Ji Yoon goes around asking about returns in investment and is given information by Seok Joo (who doesn't realise she's talking about Yurim) and Sang Tae. The other lawyer tells her not to talk to Seok Joo about Yurim because it's his fiancee's family's company. Ji Yoon looks disturbed.
Sang Tae is in his office, looking all dashing. He gets a call from his prosecutor uncle (he had promised Seok Joo he'll get information about Jung Sun's case). At the same time, the snarky prosecutor who was in charge of Park Dong Hyun's case is investigating into a Stock Manipulation case that Park Dong Hyun was involved in. It seems people bought Park Dong Hyun's stock illegally and played around with it such that they bought it at super low rates but sold it off at high rates, in a consistent pattern. The prosecutor's helper finds a connection between Park Dong Hyun and Seok Joo. Oops, Seok Joo's gonna be in hot soup, too.
Jung Sun is talking to her granddad (a.k.a Yurim's chairman). He also talks about Jung Sun's mother and father again. At the mention of her dad, it's obvious she's not pleased with the way he mentions her dad. She tells her granddad she'll be the one who will go to jail if they need someone to. Her grandfather is shocked. It seems genuine, but I am not sure if it really is. Granddad calls her uncle to join the conversation, but Jung Sun gets up to leave after rejecting a call from Seok Joo awhile earlier. I think she can't quite stand being in her uncle's presence since it was his fault all this happened.
Jung Sun meets up with Seok Joo at the wedding dress shop. How awkward. Seok Joo says he'll pay for the dress. Why, just let her do it! Jung Sun tells the shop to hold onto the dress because she doesn't want to bring it back home. She also lets Seok Joo know she's cancelling their wedding and all the preparations because they can't get married since her trial is coming soon. He gets a strange feeling she's not being honest with him. They sit together by the river later and talk over her case. He keeps showing his sincere wish of helping her but she keeps rejecting his help. She asks if he wants the engagement ring back. He asks what if he doesn't want it back. He drives her home, and she's aloof as usual.
Another day comes. Ji Won meets Cha Young Woo at a private dining venue. They go over the Ji Won's contract and the type of cases he would take. Cha Young Woo gets a call from his prosecutor friend who tipped him off that the prosecutors would be arriving at the office to do a seizure search on Seok Joo's belongings. Cha Young Woo quickly calls to firm to replace the hard disk in Seok Joo's laptop with an empty one.
Ji Yoon is anxiously watching the guy replace the hard disk. The prosecutor's turn up at the building. The receptionist and Sang Tae try to buy some time for the guy by blocking the prosecutors. Ji Yoon quickly snatches the hard drive and hides it up her sleeve when she sees the prosecutors making their way down the corridor. I like how Seok Joo's office is conveniently at the back. The guy finishes screwing the little casing back and taking his toolkit away as the door opens. Ji Yoon also just grabbed a document before the door opened. The one leading the search tells her to put it back and leave. The guy also sneaks out of the office. They start the search and find a few stuff of interest.
While this is all happening, Seok Joo gets a call from Cha Young Woo informing him of the situation. But Seok Joo doesn't know what sensitive information he has or what kind of illegal stuff he might have done. The prosecutors arrive at his house and start the search. Seok Joo is in a total daze. Much later, after the search is all over, Ji Yoon also comes back to the apartment and helps Seok Joo tidy up the place. They drink beer together after all that clean-up. Seok Joo gets a call from the snarky prosecutor telling him to come in for an interrogation the next morning. Seok Joo tells Ji Yoon to go home and rest.
The next day also happens to be Jung Sun's day in court. Seok Joo is anxious to get over and done with the interrogation but the prosecutor is just being a total donkey. He keeps asking Seok Joo why he had accounts under foreign names with large sums of money he never reported about, and why he had this and that. Seok Joo doesn't know why he had any of it and keeps saying he cannot remember. I wonder how he managed to get out of it.
Jung Sun is being interrogated severely by the prosecution. Her lawyer seems like some cheapskate who can't even protect her. She's doing her own protection. Seok Joo rushes in to see the end of the session when the judge pronounces her guilty of trying to hide the severity of the situation, of showing no remorse and so she ought to be imprisoned. She's totally shaken and in disbelief. She's handcuffed and brought away, but keeps turning to look back at Seok Joo as if to say she wants his help but she can't ask him.
-------------------
I have no idea why Jung Sun's family can't settle the whole thing by making the uncle go to jail. Why should it be Jung Sun who does it? That stupid guy brought it upon the company by losing in all his investments and making all the people who bought CPs suffer. On the other hand, I also feel like they're not insisting on the uncle going to jail because they want to get rid of Jung Sun so that she won't marry Seok Joo, and he won't fight for management rights in Yurim when he enters the family.
I have a big bone to pick with Seok Joo. Why does he become so concerned about Jung Sun like that? If I were him, I wouldn't even try to get on with someone who I supposedly was in a relationship with. I mean, you can't remember anything, you need time to recollect your real memories before you can make a decision like that. How can you just go ahead with wedding planning and believe everything your supposed partner tells you about how the state of your relationship was? Especially one doesn't seem to be open enough with you. It's akin to marrying a stranger!
Then what happens to Ji Yoon? She's sitting quietly by his side, watching him as he tries to struggle in a relationship that might just not work out because Jung Sun can't trust him. I'm sure Ji Yoon has pretty much fallen in love with Seok Joo, but she hasn't realised it yet because there hasn't been a situation that has made her realised it. She thinks she's into Ji Won but when she learns what underhanded tactics he's involved in with Cha Young Woo, it'll make Seok Joo look like an angel especially since Seok Joo is completely the opposite of his previous self.
I only have one thing to add about Cha Young Woo: I officially detest him.
