Episode 1: EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO

• A sperm whale is also called a cachalot because it has a big, square head with a spermaceti organ inside. The spermaceti organ contains a wax-like liquid, which is used to make sounds.
• In Herman Melville's novel, Moby-Dick, the whale in that novel is a sperm whale. In the novel, it is described to be white, but actually, its body color is dark gray or purplish-brown
• If a female sperm whale that weighs 22 tons ate a giant squid that weighs 500 kilograms, then laid an egg that weighs 1.3 tons 6 hours later, how much does the sperm whale weigh? The answer is, "Whales cannot lay eggs." Whales are mammals so they give birth instead of laying eggs.

Episode 2: THE WEDDING DRESS THAT SLIPPED OFF

• To humans, weddings are a ritual through which mating and independence from the parents are accomplished at once, but for whales… [she trails off!]
• Killer whales stay with their mothers their whole life. According to human standards, they are all mama's boys and mama's girls
• Have you ever heard that we know more about the dark side of the moon than we do about the deep sea? Just seeing how no one's ever witnessed a blue whale giving birth is proof of that. One might think it's not difficult to see a blue whale that is the size of a plane to give birth to a calf as heavy as a hippopotamus. But that's because the ocean is so vast and deep that it's keeping the whales' secrets.
• The feces of a blue whale is red. It's because krill, their staple food, are red. The whale's feces acts as a kind of pump that pulls nutrients from the deep parts of the ocean up to the surface of the sea. Whales feed in the deep ocean and come up to excrete on the surface of the sea. And the feces become nutrients for phytoplankton.
• The right whale is a migratory animal. But the 400 right whales that live in California stay in one place all year long. They're fast enough to go through California in six days, but they don't move at all.
• Whipped cream contains about 30 percent fat. The milk of right whales and other whales is much thicker than whipped cream since it contains 30 to 50 percent fat. A blue whale mother produces 200 kilograms of this high-fat milk every day. So then how much weight would the whale calf gain after drinking that for six months? Seventeen tons.

Episode 3: THIS IS PENGSOO

• Even if they're all whales, blue whales and right whales have a totally different ecosystem and social structure from humpback whales.
• Whales feed in the coastal waters of Ulsan and sleep on the west coast of Japan. For them, the coastal waters of Ulsan are their kitchen and the west coast of Japan is their bedroom.
• Migratory whales that move to the polar regions every summer feed intermittently. They only eat during the 3 to 4 months that they stay in the polar regions.

Episode 4: THE STRIFE OF THE THREE BROTHERS

• A whale that is frequently found in the Yellow Sea is the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise. It lives in shallow waters. The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise has a stubby snout and narrow bumps on its back. It's cute because its face looks like it's smiling.
• Aquariums are like jails for whales. It's like slavery for them as they are trapped in a small tank eating only frozen fish and putting on shows all year without any days off. Dolphins, which have an average life expectancy of 40 years, can only survive for four years in an aquarium. Do you get how huge the mental stress would be?
• Apparently, in the town of Daejeong, Seogwipo city, Jeju Island, you can frequently see Sampal, Chunsam, and Boksun swimming with baby dolphins. They're Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins that have been released back into the sea of Jeju due to a Supreme Court ruling, after being trapped in an aquarium and performing dolphin shows.

Episode 5: WILD CARD VS TACTICIAN

• None

Episode 6: IF I WERE A WHALE

• The maternal instincts of a whale are known for their devotion. They have to be. Because there aren't that many safe places in the ocean to raise babies.
• The most famous way of hunting whales is to kill the baby first. They throw a harpoon at the weak baby, and as the baby is swimming around in pain, the mother never leaves its side. She can't abandon her baby that is in pain. That's when the second harpoon is thrown at the mother that is the ultimate target. Whales are intelligent. She knows that she will also be killed if she doesn't abandon her baby. But she never does.

Episode 7: A TALE ABOUT SODEOK-DONG I

• [Attorney Woo's whale curriculum:] Up to blue whales, humpback whales, and dolphins, narwhals and the Yangtze river dolphins.
• The whale's ancestor is the Pakicetus.

Episode 8: A TALE ABOUT SODEOK-DONG II

• You may think it's a bottlenose dolphin, but its body is slimmer and longer than that of a bottlenose dolphin, so it's safe to say it's an Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin.

Episode 9: THE PIED PIPER

• Orcas that live in tanks have dorsal fins that bend to the side like this. It's because they should be swimming around in the open sea, but, instead, are trapped in narrow spaces and are abused

Episode 10: HOLDING HANDS CAN WAIT

• None

Episode 11: MR. SALT, MS. PEPPER AND ATTORNEY SOY SAUCE

• ...The sperm whale written about in Moby-Dick, the classic American novel. This is the first time a sperm whale was seen in the East Sea...

Episode 12: YANGTZE RIVER DOLPHIN

• DOLPHINS BELONG IN THE WIDE OCEAN, NOT AN AQUARIUM
• STOP DISPLAYING DOLPHINS AND RELEASE THEM
• Dolphins mostly live in the sea, but some populations adapt to rivers, and the Yangtze River dolphin is a model example of that. Just like their name, they lived in the Yangtze River in China, but they were declared extinct in 2007.

Episode 13: THE BLUE NIGHT OF JEJU I

• 10.8 meters in length is longer than the average length of the common minke whale and shorter than the average length of Baird's beaked whales.
• Jedol. The number "one" is right there on its dorsal fin.
• This was the first out of the ones that have been released from captivity that was confirmed to have successfully bred out in the wild. It has a unique scar below its dorsal fin.

Episode 14: THE BLUE NIGHT OF JEJU II

• None

Episode 15: SAYING AND DOING THINGS NOT ASKED

• None

Episode 16: THOUGH UNUSUAL AND PECULIAR

• Whale lice and barnacles are often found attached to the body of a gray whale.
• A narwhal has a helical tusk that projects from its upper jaw. That's why its scientific name means "one-tooth one-horn." It looks like a horn on a unicorn's forehead. I've seen a lost narwhal coexisting with a pod of belugas in a documentary.
