Episode 3 begins with Eun-kyung’s husband joining her company as a medical expert in a flashback. At the celebratory dinner, when asked why he wanted to join Eun kyung’s law firm, he responded that he wanted to see his wife all the time but he was actually referring to her secretary Choi so ra. Eun kyung noticed that her husband and her secretary seemed odd, wanting to go together to buy more drinks,
Later, while driving together, her husband received a message from a certain female caller who he claimed is Director Choi which was suspicious. She also noticed, Choi Sa-ra would always go somewhere for lunch and return to the lawfirm late. At the same time, Eun-Kyung visited her husband’s hospital and asked about Dr Choi but discovered no director of such a name existed. She also finds out that recently, he only sees patients in the afternoon.
The next day, she goes to her husband’s office to get her daughter’s phone. There she sees a package on his table and after checking it, it turns out to be wedding pictures of Choi so Ra and her husband. Her husband, afraid she had seen the pictures, calls her but she pretends that she didn’t come to his office after all and cuts the call but ends up angrily smashing her phone on the ground.
Now in the present, while at the restaurant, Yu ri is surprised that Eun kyung won’t get a divorce. She refuses to cut off Choi so ra who for ten years has been working well for her and her husband who has been taking care of her daughter simply for a twenty thousand dollars divorce settlement when she makes more than that a month. She feels it’s useless but Yu ri insists, hinting that she was betrayed by her two closest people, disappointed that she won’t take action but Eun kyung replies that she needs them and that her family and work is her life.
That night, Eun kyung’s husband leaves Choi So ra’s apartment to meet Eun kyung who wants them to celebrate their 14th the year wedding anniversary but he coldly reminds her to proceed with the divorce settlement claiming his reason is due to spousal neglect and that he was the only one in the marriage. Eun kyung refuses as she doesn’t want their divorce to go public but all her husband wants is to divorce her and get custody of their daughter. Eun kyung is ready to do whatever he wants, even leave her job to become a stay at home wife but her husband doesn’t want that saying he no longer sees her as his wife or the mother of his child. He then leaves, urging her to come up with an offer.
The next day, Eun kyung, Eun ho and Woo Jin lets Yu ri know certain information about their firm and helpful tips that can help with her cases. Later on, So Ra comes to see Eun kyung in her office letting her know of a case but then asks why Eun kyung kept staring at her. Eun kyung answers that it’s because she looks pretty. So Ra then intentionally says she’s going on a date with her boyfriend and that triggers Eun kyung but she keeps her cool and when So Ra leaves, Eun kyung is reminded of the harsh words her husband told her and knows it’s because of So Ra.
Yu ri is given a case where the mother Mrs Park is unsure of divorcing her husband because he is violent towards her whenever he drinks. She claims that he isn’t violent on normal occasions and that her daughter will soon be getting married. She doesn’t want to ruin it by getting a divorce but the daughter angrily refutes her mother saying she should get a divorce and not use her as an excuse.
But the mother says she doesn’t want to be old and divorced, worried about her image plus she believes her husband can’t take care of himself without her. But Yu ri encourages her that she will be free from a man who doesn’t value her and promises to help give her courage to leave her marriage.
During lunch, Eun-Kyung asks Yu-ri to make her new client Mrs Park drop her case, but even though she is unsure about the divorce but Yu-ri insists on pursuing her case, motivating her to leave her abusive husband. However, Eun-Kyung predicts that Ms Park will drop the case down the line claiming that someone like her will be unable to live alone even after getting millions.
After leaving, they are joined by Woo Jin and other staffs. However, Yu-ri accidentally sees Eun-ho on a blind date at lunch. Just then, she receives a message from her mom who tells her that she should start dating now that she has a job but Yu ri is frustrated.
Later at work, Eun ho drags Yu ri out for coffee even though she already had one. While on a walk, Eun ho asks why she doesn’t do as she’s told. She replies that she’s just following the law and while complaining about Eun kyung, she slips up and mistakenly mentions her affair to Eun ho but he doesn’t seem surprised at all. She asks if he knew all along but he didn’t admitting he tricked her and she fell for the bait. However, he says that if he had a wife like Eun kyung, he would treat her like her a Queen but Yu-ri makes him swear not to disclose the affair.
Yu ri then hints that she is aware he went on a coffee date and Eun ho explains that he goes on quick blind dates in the afternoon because he wants to get off work on time to be with her at night. Yu ri is suspicious and once again asks him if he likes her but he insists he only likes her as a colleague.
Slowly and gradually, Mrs park,Yu-ri’s client begins her back and forth with the divorce case, despite the fact her daughter encourages her to leave her father. She would call her at odd times, unsure about whether she should go forward with the divorce, giving Yu-ri a number of the usual excuses even when she shows up in her office with a black eye.
On a certain day, Yu-ri receives a call from Mrs Park’s drunk husband who threatens to attempt suicide if Yu-ri does not take back the divorce notice. After telling him her mind, she cuts the call. Yu-ri then consults Woo jin about the case, and he tells her how certain people cannot live alone, which is why they never get divorced. We then see him drinking alone in a bar.
Turned out he had seen So Ra and Eun kyung’s husband walking back to the restaurant together the night of their gathering and feels burdened by the secret.
He then has drinks with Eun kyung later and while they talk about their work life, he points out that she’s the type to always worry about what people think about her. He then says that Yu ri reminds him of a younger her and asks Eun kyung why her husband was no longer consulting at their firm. Eun kyung, uncomfortable, claims he’s busy. Woo Jin points out that she never expresses her real feelings. She tells him he won’t understand married people because he has never been married. She denies being hurt when Woo Jin points it out to her and tells him jokingly to mind his business.
She returns home that night to find her daughter already asleep in her room
While heading home, Yu-ri is shocked when she finds that Choi Sa-ra lives in her apartment building. Her mother visits her with food and they meet So Ra in front of the elevator. It turns out that So Ra and her mother know each other thereby irritating Yu ri. Through their conversations, Yu-ri realizes that Eun-Kyung’s husband possibly lives together with Sa-ra.
In her apartment while her mother is serving her food, Yu ri tells her to stop being kind to everyone. After all, it was her neighbor who had an affair with her husband but her mother pretends not to hear her making Yu ri think she must pity her father. She asks why she didn’t divorce him when he cheated but her mother replies it was because she didn’t want to disturb her studies and she tried to understand her father. This frustrates Yu ri as she wonders why everyone around her hesitates to get divorced. Mother and daughter end up bantering. Yu ri gets even more frustrated when Mrs Park calls her unsure of proceeding with the divorce claiming her husband asked for forgiveness, promising not to drink again as long as she returns home to cook for him.
The next day, Yu-ri meets with an upset Mrs Park at the hospital. she finds that the her husband had really attempted suicide and has been hospitalized. Mrs Park blames Yu-ri for what happened to her husband and even yells at her daughter when she tries to defend her. When Yu ri tells Eun-Kyung, she tells her that it’s not her fault if the man dies; she merely did her job and cannot be held responsible for the man’s decisions. She advises her to separate her self. Her attorney side should be different from her personal life.
However, Yu-ri feels terrible about what happened. Meanwhile, Eun ho is having to deal with difficult clients who continuously question him about the tiniest thing. He finally manages to get rid of them but then goes to see Yu ri in her office who still feels bad about her client. He takes her out for ice cream and then, Yu ri tells him her predicament. Eun-ho points out it’s because she cares about people. He tries to console her, saying that people like Mrs Park’s husband hurt themselves for show. Yu ri is impressed with his insight and just then, she receives a call from Mrs Park.
Later, Yu-ri visits the hospital to find the man alive but he’s yelling and insulting Mrs Park when she tries to take care of him. He even tries to hit her and when Yu ri intervenes, Mrs Park stops her and just like Eun kyung predicted, she decides to drop the case. Eun-Kyung visits the client as well and tells her that when she’s determined, they’ll take her case again. She gives Mrs Park a refund on the money she has spent and suggests she and her husband could pay for couples therapy.
When Yu-ri confronts her, since Eun-Kyung had earlier asked her to dispose of the case, Eun-Kyung says, “There comes a moment where you just accept everything and only care about the future” and predicts that the client will make up her mind and decide to divorce her husband for certain in the future.
Yu-ri decides to resign from her position, explaining to Eun-Kyung that she cannot divorce her human self and her attorney self from each other. She also tells her that Eun-Kyung’s husband and Sa-ra might be living together and gives her the address. Eun kyung becomes tense as Yu ri tells her she only told her because she wanted to be on her side. Eun kyung sends her away and she leaves
After work, Eun-Kyung actually sees the cheating couple together. She follows them all the way to the supermarket where they’re shopping together and seeing her husband fondle So Ra’s cheeks like he used to do with their daughter and that changes something in her. She leaves before her husband notices her presence then goes back to the office devastated and stops Yu-ri from resigning, asking Yu-ri to take her divorce case.
This episode is very realistic. People are afraid to leave a certain toxic situation because they are afraid of being alone or how their image will be perceived. Eun kyung and Yuri both have their weaknesses and their strengths and I love how their differences is being portrayed. Seeing Eun kyung break down finally shows the extent of her hurt. Jang Nara portrayed that scene perfectly. Her husband is a jerk and I’m happy she has finally decided to put aside her life and get the justice she deserves but all thanks to Yu ri.
