Timestamp Statement Type of Fallacy: Fallacies of Irrelevance: Argumentum Ad Misericordiam (Appeal To Pity)

TITLE While You Were Sleeping
EPISODE A Few Good Men, Episode (8)

PLOT Woo-tak is amazed that his dream is already happening exactly as it is, except that he
was having a meal with Jae-chan, not Kyung-han. Jae-chan overhears the conversation
between Yoo-beom, So-yoon, and Geum-sook, and just before the accident happens,
Jae-chan intervenes with the argument and promises So-yoon and Geum-sook that he
will prosecute Jun-mo in every way he can. Woo-tak learns from Jae-chan and Hong-joo
about their future-seeing dreams although the trio is still curious why they were the
ones chosen to have the dreams out of the many people around them.
Jae-chan starts the investigation and gathers as many evidences as possible. Later on,
Woo-tak and Hong-joo dream about Jun-mo’s case and persuades Jae-chan to let his
co-worker, Inspector Choi Dam-dong, to do the interrogation first. Jae-chan lets
Inspector Choi do the investigation despite his suspicions about him siding with Yoo-
beom who prepared fabricated evidences and claims as Jun-mo’s attorney.
Unexpectedly, Inspector Choi was able to deduce the truth out of Jun-mo and Jae-chan
prosecutes him successfully to Yoo-beom’s disappointment. Jae-chan senses that
Inspector Choi is unbiased, meticulous, and accountable in his work and apologizes for
his doubt about him. He is congratulated by Hong-joo, Woo-tak, and the group.
TIMESTAMP STATEMENT
8:09 – 8:11 I really loved my wife. After listening to Lawyer Lee, all the pieces fell into place.
TYPE OF FALLACY Fallacies of Irrelevance: Argumentum ad Misericordiam (Appeal to Pity)
This fallacy convinces the people by evoking feelings of compassion and sympathy
when such feelings, however understandable, are not logically relevant to the arguer’s
conclusion.
EXPLANATION The accused uttered a statement which is irrelevant to his argument. Park Jun-mo only
said that he love his wife for him to be able to evoke the feelings and sympathy to the
investigator, the witnesses, and Prosecutor Jung Jae-chan. His love for his wife, even if
true, is immaterial to the resolution of the case. The love for his wife cannot simply
negate the evidences that the prosecution had against him.
9:08 – 9:24 Your beloved wife suddenly collapsed. As soon as she collapsed, you denied assaulting
her. Then you got arrested, am I right?
TIMESTAMP STATEMENT
9:38 – 9:45 I don’t get why you insisted that you didn’t hit her. That’s really strange.
9:51 – 10:18 Mr. Park, what was the first thing you said when your wife collapsed? You love your
wife, don’t you? Your beloved wife suddenly collapsed, and the first thing you say is, “I
didn’t do it”? You should have asked if she’s okay or yelled for help. Shouldn’t you have
said those?
TYPE OF FALLACY Fallacies of Irrelevance: Petitio Principii (Leading Question)
This fallacy consists in directing the respondent to give a particular answer to a
question at issue by the manner in which the question is asked.
EXPLANATION The manner by which Inspector Choi Dam-dong and Prosecutor Jung Jae-chan talked
and asked questions to the accused actually directs the person to give a very particular
answer. It seems like they are not asking questions but merely asking for a confirmation
from the accused. It is very evident that a particular answer is actually being solicited.
TIMESTAMP STATEMENT
7:19 – 7: 38 I’m afraid this has to be dealt this way. Ms. Do Geum Sook used the promise she got
from the previous case, and she was going to rip him off of money. She was looking for
the chance, and she broke her ribs in a ski resort. She fabricates it as an assault case.
7:43 – 7: 51 And on the day of the recital, she secretly rubbed footprints on her blouse. She decides
to faint when there are many people watching.
TYPE OF FALLACY Fallacies of Irrelevance: Petitio Principii (Question-Begging Language)
This fallacy consists in discussing an issue by means of language that assumes a position
of the very question at issue, in such a way as to direct the listener to that same
conclusion.
EXPLANATION In this particular scenario, Lawyer Lee Yeo-Boom made a conclusion that Ms. Do Geum
Sook set everything up to make it look that her husband had inflicted physical abuse
upon her. The lawyer has given various scenarios whilst using a very manipulative
language which made the others believe the conclusion that Ms. Do Geum Sook set her
husband up and that Park Jun-mo is innocent.
