In episode 4, Woo Young Woo stepped up to help Dong Geurami’s father Dong Dong Sam (Jung Seok Yong).  Dong Dong Sam, who was deceived by his older brothers and signed an unfavorable memorandum stating that he would divide the compensation for rice fields passed down by his father, took on a debt of 260 million won, let alone the compensation. Woo Young Woo gave him hope by saying that it would be possible to cancel the memorandum if he insisted on fraud and coercion. In response, his father Woo Kwang Ho (Jeon Bae Soo) and Dong Geurami asked her to defend, but Woo Young Woo refused, saying she would introduce another lawyer.

Through Woo Young Woo’s introduction, Dong Geurami met her mentor Jung Myeong Seok (Kang Ki Young) at the law firm. However, Jung Myeong Seok said he would not help. Woo Young Woo tried to persuade Jung Myeong Seok, “If the memorandum is not canceled, he will be in debt of hundreds of millions won. I can’t see my friend’s father being deceived by his brothers and turning into a beggar.” Jung Myeong Seok said, “Even if it’s obvious that you’re going to lose, you will have to do it yourself. Why do you pass it on to your colleagues? That’s irresponsible”. At Woo Young Woo’s hesitation that she no longer wants to be an attorney, Jung Myeong Seok said, “Why aren’t you doing it? Does it make sense to go to the team you worked with without explanation?” and successfully convinced Woo Young Woo to take charge of the case herself.

When standing in the courtroom, Wooyoung Woo felt heavy as she saw Dong Dong Sam collapsing at the brazen lies of his older brothers. There was a need for clear evidence that the memorandum was fraud and compulsion. Woo Young Woo’s eyes then sparkled. On the grandfather’s Memorial Day, Dong Geurami and her father Dong Dong Sam went to his brother’s house, and as expected, the angry brothers wielded violence against her. 

The untimely commotion became a ‘God’s move’ that overturned the trial. Everything was Woo Young Woo’s plan. In the third hearing, Woo Young Woo submitted additional documents and evidence related to the injuries of Dong Dong Sam and Dong Geurami. She said, “When the donor commits a crime against the donor or his or her immediate blood relatives, the donor can cancel the gift contract”, referring to the civil law provisions. At the same time, she argued, “We would like to maintain the original cause of the claim, ‘cancellation of the gift contract’ under Article 556 (1) 1 of the Civil Act, while adding ‘cancellation of the gift contract’ as the primary cause of the claim.”

Dong Dong Sam then forgave his brothers who knelt down and apologized, and the compensation was equally divided into three equal parts. Dong Geurami expressed her gratitude by hugging Woo Young Woo. After winning the case, Woo Young Woo, who was discouraged enough to quit her job as a lawyer, became happy again.

Woo Young Woo visited Jeong Myeong Seok and asked, “Can I go back to work from today?” and Jung Myeong Seok welcomed her back. Woo Young Woo smiled as she put the nameplate of “Attorney Woo Young Woo” back in the place where only the frame remained.

Meanwhile, an exciting change came between Woo Young-woo and Lee Joon-ho. Woo Young-woo and Lee Joon-ho came down to Ganghwa Island to find evidence. Dong Geu-ra-mi noticed Lee Joon-ho’s fondness for Woo Young-woo, moved out for the two of them alone and even tipped off a date course in Nakjo Village. The two ended up spending time in Nakjo Village at sunset. When Lee Joon-ho asked why she wanted to quit her job as a lawyer, Woo Young-woo replied, “Even when I’m working as ‘lawyer Woo Young-woo’, people see me as just ‘autistic Woo Young-woo’. Autistic Woo Young-woo is an odd one out. You lose if you play on the same team with an odd one out. It’s better for me not to get involved.” Upon hearing this, Lee Joon-ho told Woo Young-woo sincerely, “I want to be on the same side as you. I wish a lawyer like you would side with me.” Woo Young-woo looked at Lee Joon-ho, who smiled brightly at her, and pressed his pounding heart with unfamiliar emotions.
