" Hence so, shouldn't DHG got her lawyer license back? But she was only going to work as a office manager in BS's firm? This is something I didn't understand. What did I miss?"
An Office Manager (Samujang, 사무장, 事務長 ) job designation or scope in a law firm will be better known as a paralegal or judicial scriveners (in Korean beopmusa, 법무사, 法務士 )
The job of a paralegal requires a variety of skills; some are learned, & some are inherent to the person. For instance, a good paralegal must be highly organised, handle pressure well, and understand the importance of deadlines. They must also know how to relate to people in a variety of situations, be highly trustworthy, discreet, and use good judgment.
Paralegals are an important part of our legal system working at the forefront of affordable legal assistance both for their employers and the public. They help create equitable access to legal aid. As many clients increasingly seek less costly alternatives for legal services, the demand for good paralegals continues to remain robust.
Some paralegals work for corporations, government agencies, and nonprofits. A paralegal working in these entities offer limited services (as defined by law) under the responsibility of a chosen attorney. Many paralegals, however, work in law offices under a lawyer's direct supervision.

" LOL I love the konglish version the most Thanks for the glossary 'education' "
There is plenty konglish term that will raise your eyesbrows or leave you scratching your head
Just for examples
Geul Rae Meo ( 글래머 from the English word "glamour" ) indicates to a buxom of a woman
Ho Chi Ki Seu ( 호치키스 from the Japanese word "ホチキス" - Hotchkiss) is the stapler. It was suppose that Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss was the inventor the stapler but it seems to be a Japanese folklore.....similar to Korean having a Johnson Tang ( 존슨 탕 ) which was suppose to be name after Lyndon B Johnson
Some English signage in Korea is hilarious

Another glossary lesson
Anae (아내) a native Korean term for wife, the other Korean native word is "Manura" (마누라, often hear in historical dramas)
There are other Sino Korean terms as well for wife
Cheo ( 처,妻, often use as 3rd party reference, so & so wife)
Buin (부인,婦人)
Then we have the Konglish (Korean+English mix match)
Waipeu ( 와이프, wife)

Feel free to search my posts....I seldom do language reference unless they are saying or idioms
I usually give more Korean historical insights & Korean culture is mainly on their cuisine & locations

"Thank you so much for clearing up the meaning of "aein", plus the other relationship terms. "Sweetheart', for example, sounds more like a term I would imagine hearing couples call each other in a TV drama!.....It was strange imagining very modest, refined men & women going around using a rather "suggestive" word --- at least, it is to my "ear"."
Since we are at the glossary
I will like to highlight the definition word "Dangshin" (당신, 當身 ) which literally means "You", that can be use as formal or informal, the other definition of the word "Dangshin" is an endearment term similar to "Dear" where spouse address each other as JE address HK in that manner. In Japanese, it will be similiar to the word "anata ( あなた ,貴方), but this address is mostly use by middle-age or older spouses
As to meaning of "You" in Korean Dangshin (당신) or Japanese (anta, あんた) in other context is sometimes express in contempt, although the formal is Dangshin Eun ( 당신은 ), grammatically correct but seldom use
You may often hear the word Dangshin (당신) often an awful lot when watching korean dramas usually 9 out of 10 times, the word Dangshin ( 당신) is being used right before a fight, quarrel or during one, & even usually during an argument between spouse depending on the tonation
Unless you are using Dangshin as an endearment term, it is usually seen as extraordinary blunt or a rude way of calling someone "You" that you do not use the word in civil conversation to someone that you are not cordial with or worst, first time meeting the person which you may likely end up in fisticuffs
The other endearment term Yeobo (여보, 如寶, literally my precious) which is similar to word "Darling", although many married couple might translate the word Yeobo (여보) as to mean "Look here" (to attract attention to someone who is daydreaming) as similar to Korean answering their phone "Yeoboseyo' ( 여보세요, as to equivalent to Hello)

" does "aein" mean the same ---i.e., the person you love & have intimate sex relationship with?"
Aein (애인, 愛人) in the Korean context is more sweetheart (情人) in a relationship, although deeper than that in a relationship will be refer as Yeonin ( 연인, 戀人) because Yeonae ( 연애, 戀愛 is a dating relationship)
Even SBS official website for "I have a lover" (애인있어요) is tag as " tv.sbs.co.kr/sweetheart/"

"Thanks Gerry. You really know Japanese. Japanese words comes from Kanji..Chinese. I believe Korean or Japanese language root from ancient Chinese.. "
I have a stronger command in Japanese than I do with Korean
" It, sounds to me like an enchanted life to be covering East Asia and Asia Pacific."
I beg to differ

" Hi, I am not sure what is definition of "lover". In china, in early days, they call their spouse "Lover" ie "Ngai Ren".. "
In ancient times, Chinese husband will refer to their spouse (wife) is address as "Nei Ren" (内人, a person inside), although Mainland Chinese will refer to their wife as Ai Ren ( 爱人, the person you love)
Japanese will refer to their wife as "Ka-nai" (家内, かない, inside the family/household), while Korean will refer to their wife as "Jib Saram" ( 집사람, a person in the house)
As to the word "Lover" ( 爱人 )
The Japanese had 2 pronunciation to the word "Onyomi (Kan'on or Sino) & "Aijin" ( あいじん, Hiragana or Japanese)
Korean is as you may know in as Aein ( 애인 )

"Thank you for being so informative in each of your post. I am quite amazed how business traveller, probably someone I assume busy may still be able to squeeze time out and enjoy drama. You really have a balanced life. And viki is not in your part of the world, yeah me too. I can't enjoy K-drama in viki, too. Have to earn more points. I just want to take my time to appreciate your post"
Thank you for your kind appreciation
Yes, definitely clock my air miles. I cover the region of East Asia & Asia Pacific & have a mini office that travel, so I am quite in touch. I do post comment during my travels & time permits will do translations unless I am somewhere remote that connectivity is unavailable if there is coverage...then it is business as usual
As for balance life....hmmm
As for Korea, cover the country since 2002....I prefer historical dramas (sageuk)

"Did febreeze make your cloth wet"
No, you usually spray (mist) onto.....at a distance.....
I usually do my overcoat & my suit jacket on a clothes hanger in my hotel room.....don't have the privilege of having a beautiful lady like HK to spray on me
If the odor is bad, then I will run steam from the hot bath to steam off the odor...business traveller tip & tricks

"I thought you meant 'hangul language text transcript'. I see now that you meant 'auditory'. Thanks as always for your translations and clarification.
(btw, I'm looking for hangul transcripts, so if these can be found somewhere on the internet, please let me know via PM or here - anyone who knows, please do. Thanks.)
You could try getting Korean subtitles from those that help the hearing impaired (subtitles for the deaf).
It is actually a good tool to learn Korean, a sample just like what you get with the text preview
I only know that they (Deaf Movie, 데프무비 ) do them for Korean movie but in DVD format & most Korean movie box set do have Korean subtitles, not sure with drama
Earlier drama DVD box set that I bought e.g. Dae Jang Geum (bought in 2004) had Korean subtitles then later, DVD box sets, they only had subtitles in English
I think Viki had the option to view the subtitle in Korean (한국어) but I can't confirm as Viki is not available in my part of the world
Years ago, I knew that SBS use to provide transcript for their drama on their official website but the function seems to have ceased & disappeared
I have seen a transcript many years ago from a SBS drama, but it was so mash up that you don't know who is saying the dialogue & you has to decipher.....painstakingly......

Give Febreze a try....it is definitely a "quick fix wonder" to remove odor from your warmer clothing, where you have no time to take it to the dry cleaners....or else the next morning, someone could smell or guess what you had for dinner last night.....it is especially in Korea when ventilation in restaurant is somewhat inadequate or some premises where you had some night binge drinking session with tobacco smoke & alcohol.....trust me...I can vouch for that

Geum Gang San invites SR to see the movie "Violent Prosecutor" ( 검사외전 ) release 3rd February in Korea
MTS is being charge with intimidation, JR also said that she might be charge for obstructing of justice but no need be serving time
JR still haven't stand down to HK in forgiveness. SH scold JR that the person who is suffering dementia & amnesia is her & not them
SH will move in to Buam-dong with JE & HK as they already made rooms for her & her Nurse Sung
SH said that she will sell the Pyeongchang-dong house as they have too many memories of their husband & asked JR to go to the States to be with her children. SH also express her concern for JR more than JE. SH tells that they will find JR somewhere in Cheongdam-dong as JR wants to stay back & not leave MTS alone. In the end JR suggest that SH comes live with her in the new accommodation & not to bring up the subject of going to live in Buam-dong
MTS is sentence to life imprisonment ( 무기형 ,无期徒刑)
HK & JE enjoying the night sky but look pitch black
JE: She probably will be able to see us
HK: Probably....
JE: What will she be thinking....
HK: Ah....there is my Father (Appa)...there is my Mother (Eomma)...Eomma with Appa has return to our house....it seems that Eomma don't loathe Appa anymore...it seems that Appa don't loathe Eomma anymore...it seems that it is not because of me that cause them to quarrel...they still love me as before...they must really miss (long for) me.....they really yearns for me...I miss her...I really misses her, Yeobo...I really miss our Eun Seol-i
HK finally breakdown to mourn for her daughter in the solace of JE embrace
HK: 11pm at night...our time for love
End line
HK: 9:59 am in the morning, we will forever remember the time of our love...as for us...we are still in love each other...& we still have another 40 years

Favourites of Jjimjibang (찜질방) food you will have is Iced Sikhye (식혜 , rice punch, tumbler with the straw) & hard boiled eggs ( 삶은 계란 )
Ice Sikhye & hard boiled eggs with a packet of salt sachet
As for the cracking the egg at the forehead, for the Koreans, it seem to be the most logical place to crack the hard boiled egg but the priority is to use someone else forehead first before yours
