Valid Love
[Episode 9: Rock Bottom]
Why are you doing this?
What did I do wrong?
What did I do?
Damn it.
What are you planning to do, bastard?
Turn on the lights.
Bastard locked the door?
Hey, asshole!
Why'd you drag my wife in?
Kim Joon, you better come out!
Asshole, you're making your own coffin today.
Hey, Kim Il Ri.
I know you're in there!
Hurry up and get out!
Turn on the lights and come out!
Turn on the lights!
Turn them on and come out!
Turn on the lights!
I should've done that.
A husband who witnesses his wife having an affair obviously should.
But I couldn't.
I thought what I saw would exceed my imagination.
Then I couldn't turn anything back.
I couldn't act like I didn't know.
Do you know how worried I was?
Unni's okay.
She can be discharged after a few days.
That's not what I mean.
You...
Can you make me ramen?
Not on the burner.
But on that.
You didn't eat dinner?
You said you're not eating.
No asking for a bite.
What were you doing without eating dinner?
You lack the basics.
Don't you have pickled radish or kimchi?
Jeez.
Where are my clothes and shoes?
I don't have your sweats.
I think someone stole them.
I left them to dry on the roof. But I can't find them.
They're not expensive, right?
Just keep them.
It's true.
I guess the economy's really bad.
How can people steal laundry?
Maybe since it's the last time...
this is really good.
I'm not coming here again.
Did we promise or something?
Did we ever start anything?
What did we do...
for you to say things like that?
Oh...
Our outing?
Are you doing this over that outing?
You don't answer your phone.
You don't reply to my texts.
You drive me crazy for days and now...
Now you want ramen?
Is this a restaurant?
You come anytime to eat and that's it.
Don't come if you don't want.
That's up to you.
Right?
Don't eat too much ramen.
Apply the lotion before bed.
I'll say hello with my eyes if we bump into each other.
Not me.
Married woman isn't my type.
Is your hand...
...still hot?
Leave.
Hurry.
I'm hot, too.
My head's hot.
And my heart is hot.
My fingernails and toenails...
Have you ever hit someone?
I've never done it until now.
I've never even hit anyone with a flower.
Hit me instead.
Kim Joon.
Look at me.
Who are you?
Huh?
Who are you?
Rock bottom. This is the rock bottom.
No, someone said this...
It's only the beginning when you think you hit rock bottom.
This is only the beginning.
Leave.
Hurry.
I thought you were working late.
Is something wrong?
Did you drink?
Leave.
Get out.
Take those clothes with you.
Leave!
Are you joking?
Get out when I'm saying nicely.
Help me, honey.
I am helping you. Go there. Go to that bastard!
It's true!
I like him.
I started to like him.
That's why I met him.
You being like this is obvious.
I'll get out if you want. But help me once!
Do you want to die?
Should I kill you and that asshole?
I like you.
I'm going crazy because I made you suffer.
I like when you eat my food.
And I like when you smile at me.
I like when you read books and write.
I really like that you're my husband!
But I like that man, too.
Because I know he only talks mean.
I know he acts like he knows everything.
He's always alone though!
He eats and plays alone!
His hands are hot, too!
Are you crazy?
Stop it!
You're smart.
There's nothing you don't know.
Please teach me! How can I like two different people?
I like you when I'm with you.
And I like him when I'm with him.
I won't meet him.
It's over now.
I don't want you to struggle.
So, hold onto me.
Help me, please!
An unusual feeling like a mosquito in winter.
A long-forgotten feeling.
Making sense of what doesn't.
Making the ridiculous make sense.
The strange energy that makes...
me nod in the end.
Kim Il Ri.
I'm not your teacher anymore.
[Valid Love]
No character assassination.
No physical attacks.
Slaves have character.
Of course.
I'm a dignified owner.
Take them off.
Take off your shoes. How can you come to your owner like that?
What about my heels? You gonna wear them?
Why would I? Take them off.
No.
It's not fashionable.
Then you're gonna carry me wearing those?
Huh?
You're pretty.
There you go.
This is nice.
Yi Ri.
Yi Ri!
Giddy-up!
Yi Ri...
What?
It's good.
Hey.
This is good. Eat it.
I don't wanna.
Eat it.
Eat.
There you go.
Good, huh?
Be strong.
Okay, okay.
I'm...
thinking up a business.
I was in Seoul this morning.
Tokyo for lunch and dinner in Shanghai.
Partner?
I don't have one.
But I do have an assistant.
She loves me and carries me around.
Come out if you're interested.
Buy me a drink.
Buy me a plane ticket while you're at it.
Huh?
Kyung Sun...
Kyung...
What did you say?
A first class ticket?
Thanks.
She's a nice girl.
Now, shall we...
...go again?
What is this?
Give me time to rest.
Hey, slave.
How dare you pick and choose? Want me to torture you?
Right.
Good girl.
Ready?
One, two, three!
What are you doing?
You should get on properly.
How dare a slave act up to her owner?
Get a gentler slave then.
Oh...
Fine.
Okay, okay.
Hey, you.
I went easy on you.
You're dead today.
[National Fisheries Research Institute]
Right, I remember.
I waited anxiously for two hours.
Your face got pale because of a drop of coffee.
Jung Goo and I dug through the school store.
[Research Lab - Jang Hee Tae, Hwang Jung Goo]
What clothes did you buy?
- You threw a fit over a tee. - That's right.
It was just a tee.
By chance, your wife?
Hello, I'm sunbae's...
I mean, I'm Dr. Jang's hoobae.
[Hoobae - underclassman]
I'm Dr. Jang's wife...
Who is this? My beautiful sister-in-law!
What brings you all the...
- ...way here. - Hello.
Did you have lunch?
What the heck? How embarrassing.
Oh, yeah. She's having an affair.
People can hear.
It's okay.
Everyone knows anyway.
Do you know how rumors start?
Sun Joo.
The way rumors work...
The people involved always end up spilling it out.
"This is a secret..."
"Keep it to yourself."
The whole nation finds out the moment they say that.
I only told once in bed.
So?
You should've noticed the person sharing your bed used to work here.
Why do I have to take notice of my wife's former workplace?
Kill me then.
But will they really divorce?
If it was me,
I would've sued with evidence already.
Settle?
Never.
It's over.
What is it?
Is the night shift room okay?
Isn't it uncomfortable?
It's not.
It's comfortable.
Along with some change of clothes, I brought food, too.
Come home.
Get mad at home.
Let go.
Did you sign?
Don't do this again.
Makes me sick.
You have to eat.
Just take this. I won't come again.
What's going on?
Madam!
Madam?
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
No.
I'm okay.
Leave that. I'll do it.
Move.
Leave it.
Go work!
Move, I'll do it.
You're cool, Carpenter Kim.
I'm envious.
I'm the eldest son so I couldn't do as I wanted in life.
The only thing I did was study.
And marry my wife.
That's it.
Isn't that everything?
Is it?
I guess so.
The road not traveled looks cool.
But I did sketch a little something although it's over my head.
Never mind. This isn't it.
I don't even have any ability.
Forget it.
You ruined your vision.
Don't do this again.
Makes me sick.
Five.
No.
- Ten. - Five.
No more than that.
What if you keep refusing?
I'm going to add one slave session.
How can I eat ten bowls?
Have you ever?
Where will you use your old skills?
You earned 30,000 star balloons with your skills.
Come on.
I'm getting a headache again.
Fine.
I'll give you fifteen minutes.
If you can't finish, one more slave session.
But...
Tell me.
What do you get out of this?
You little brat. Why do you keep calling your elder in-law by name?
You're not gaining anything.
You're wasting precious time and energy.
My slave sure talks a lot.
What do you mean?
You're making your owner happy.
Am I...
worth all that?
I'm a fan of Strawberry Pig.
What?
I don't think she wants a divorce.
Did you talk it through?
It's not like that.
Why do you look like that then?
What?
You should feel sad but relieved if you've decided to divorce.
You seem really troubled.
How do I get divorced before I get the cell phone bill?
Jeez.
What do I do about the house?
I don't know my bank account password.
My head is going to break.
You've come all the way here.
Go home.
Whether you change cell phones or accounts...
go handle it at home.
Know what she said?
She likes me when she's with me.
She likes him...
when she's with him.
Damn it.
I'm saying all kinds of things to you. I must be drunk.
Pretend you didn't hear, okay?
It's brave.
Not going home for a few days?
What's brave about that?
Who?
My wife?
What is?
What's brave?
Everyone has those thoughts.
Like the saying that you only take the heart...
Most pretend.
Or don't reveal.
Okay.
Let's say that's so.
Why don't people reveal?
That's polite.
Right?
It's basic and considerate.
That's why humans are different from animals.
A biologist shouldn't say that.
We're no different than animals.
So what?
What should I do?
Forgive her?
Just live like que sera sera?
Live like that?
Since we're all animals?
It's true that...
your wife was too honest.
What do you mean?
She wasn't honest.
She's shameless, arrogant and brazen.
Why insult honesty?
Is honesty a toy?
Sunbae.
Hey.
Are you like that?
Are you an animal, huh?
Using that pretty face as a mask,
were you pretending to be human?
Yes.
I'm like that, too.
What?
I'm no different.
I'm selfish, arrogant and brazen.
I'm a hypocrite who wishes you the best.
But when I turn around,
I hope you become miserable.
Can you call yourself a biologist?
How did you study?
Do you know what I thought when I heard you were having marital problems?
Is there room for me to get in?
That's what I thought.
Sunbae.
Really.
Sunbae!
Wake up.
Sunbae.
[My wife]
Wow, she's talented.
Right?
She has a innate gift.
She's just inhaling the noodles.
Just keep doing that.
One minute 40 seconds?
Wow.
You're spirited.
A man's man.
Eat. There's lots of time left.
Eat, please.
Fail!
Goodness, how satisfying!
Strawberry Pig!
Hey.
Don't throw up.
Don't!
Don't do it!
Damn it.
Strawberry Pig, you...
Wait and see.
Welcome.
What's going on?
I have to go home.
Let go. I have to go.
You're too drunk. Sober up first.
I'm going home. I'm fine. I'm not drunk.
Really.
It's my wife.
I'll take him.
Don't touch me. It's dirty.
I like her.
I like you, too.
I like you and I like you.
Have my cake and eat it, too.
Isn't that what you said?
Hold on. Let's drink, the three of us.
Come to my house, Sun Joo.
Let's go home.
What are you doing, sunbae?
What? Let's live like que sera sera.
You do what you want.
I'll do what I want.
This is great.
Hey, are you crazy?
Why am I crazy?
Brother-in-law is.
What did I say?
I told you he'll treat you badly even after all your sacrifice.
What is this?
Is that why you got married?
Don't.
Don't!
It's not like that, Yi Ri.
I'll tell you later. Calm down.
Take her.
Is that why you took her?
To use her up and do this?
I really liked you.
My mom liked you so much!
How could you?
How could you do this to my unni!
It's a misunderstanding.
Get lost, ahjumma.
Get a grip and go home.
No.
I won't!
Let's end it today!
Honey!
Hyung!
Getting angry...
Scorning...
Ignoring...
Ruining yourself...
That's what you said.
Don't joke around. What do you want?
I...
was in such pain.
[Valid Love]
Hello.
Welcome.
Two 20kg bags...
Go ahead.
It's okay.
Then...
Can we have two 20kg bags delivered?
Yes.
You live alone?
I think I've seen you a few times.
Do you live around here?
Yes.
I called you. What are you doing? Help me.
Hurry.
Young man!
You left this.
You don't look like a student.
What do you do?
Oh...
I'm overstepping.
It comes with age.
Then...
He's nice looking.
He must work here.
Whose son is he?
Curly, curly, yummy ramen.
Thank goodness for ramen.
I can eat even ten of them a day.
Slurp, yum yum, slurp, yum yum, yummy ramen.
Don't eat ramen.
Please?
You have to eat.
I really wanted to forget...
what happened last night.
Thanks for answering his phone.
She's your brother-in-law's coworker.
Apologize.
Well...
Excuse me. The bill...
But I recalled it even clearer.
I realized my wife and I had never had a conversation after that.
I thought there was no need.
But I'm desperate right now.
There's lots left.
Want more?
Sit.
I said sit.
Did you beat it?
We happened to have pollack.
So?
What's your ideology?
What?
What do you want?
What I want is clear and simple.
You be clear and simple, too.
Huh?
[Divorce Petition]
I told you.
It's over.
What's over?
If you two end it, is that it? It's like you never fooled around behind my back?
Don't make that expression.
It's heinous.
I wanted to have a conversation.
Could it be just him?
How many times now?
This cruelty.
Did you give him money?
I told myself not to.
But I wanted to step on her.
Hee Tae.
Why'd you do it?
Do you dislike me?
You hate my snoring now?
Wanna hit the back of my head while I eat?
My income is meager and insufficient.
I'm worthless now that you see, right?
No, no.
You don't snore that loudly.
I snore when I'm tired, too.
I have wanted to hit you, but not while you eat.
I always liked when you ate.
Your income's not much but it's enough for us. I earn, too.
Thinking you're worthless?
Yeah, I have.
It's a lie to say I've never thought that in seven years.
But I chose you.
I'm worthless too then.
I'm probably more worthless in your eyes.
But...
But why?
I'm sorry.
To let myself feel that way...
That was a mistake, really.
But...
That's how I felt.
The feelings just appeared.
That's how...
That's how I feel.
So, don't misunderstand.
I don't dislike you.
Shut your mouth!
Are you still in high school?
What irresponsible words!
Are you two playing with me?
Fine.
Let's say that's the case.
The feelings are still there.
Right?
You said it just appeared!
And now?
Are they gone? Well?
I didn't need to ask.
I didn't need to hear the answer.
Those eyes...
They told me everything.
My wife can't lie with words or her eyes.
I'll try.
The conversation was over.
Unni's being discharged today.
Don't come.
That's ridiculous.
You can drink with a coworker and be late.
I'm late once in awhile with work dinners.
It wasn't a work dinner.
Why stay out so late with a coworker?
Letting him get that drunk?
- A married man? - Be quiet.
Don't you know your brother-in-law?
Isn't he a man?
Your sister came to get him.
That's enough. Don't be absurd.
If you had seen it, you would've foamed at the mouth and collapsed.
If I had foamed over that, I would've died like your father already.
- Hello. - Hi.
You're here, Mother!
It's kimchi.
We're rich this winter again thanks to you. I feel so assured.
This one's even better.
It turned out well.
Really?
Anyways...
if your sister's okay, it's okay.
Don't upset her. Leave her alone.
When did I upset her?
I'm going.
Already leaving?
Have a warm drink first.
I have a lot to do. Later.
Jeez.
Good-bye, Mother. Thank you.
Okay. It's cold. Go in.
- Okay. Bye! - Bye!
What is it?
What about your sister?
Ugh, I was so frustrated.
Unni, you know what happened last night?
Brother-in-law got totally drunk and threw a fit in Chinatown.
I've never seen such a fit.
Your brother...
No...
Teacher threw a fit?
I didn't...
...recognize him.
On top of that...
he ignored my sister.
Pisses me off again.
He ignored...
...Il Ri?
You know what he said with my sister and his coworker in each arm?
"I like you..."
"And I like you."
Is he a king? Does he have 3000 concubines?
Just try it.
As alimony for seven years of work, we'll get at least a million.
Hey.
She might have to pay alimony.
That kimchi container...
Put it on the bottom shelf in the fridge.
I'll get it for sure.
A million.
What's going on?
Is this your house?
Change your passcode then.
That aside...
What happened last night?
Teacher threw a fit?
Yeah.
What kind of answer is so simple?
What happened?
You sure are fast.
What is it?
Did you get caught?
Yeah.
You, you...
Are you insane?
Did you really get caught?
I did.
Help me if you're gonna stay.
You vacuum.
Hey!
You were going to handle it!
Is this how you handle it?
If you're gonna cheat, get away with it.
Are you an idiot? Why get caught?
So?
What did Teacher say?
He wants a divorce.
What?
Teacher had that word in his dictionary?
I know.
He did.
Is this someone else's life?
I'm going to think objectively.
Or I'll go crazy.
I'm gonna go crazy, too.
So what did you do?
Huh?
Did you sleep with him?
How far did you go with Carpenter Kim?
You...
I didn't.
Really?
Nothing happened?
Wanna drink?
Then why get caught if you didn't sleep with him?
Say it was a misunderstanding.
You should've explained and say you met him a few times for work.
Did you go Andro?
They knew each other.
How?
He ordered something from the workshop.
As a gift for me.
Whoa.
He had a picture.
Did Teacher...
follow you and take a picture?
Of course not.
He kept getting pictures?
To Teacher's cell phone?
- But why? - I don't know.
They're still following.
That gives me goosebumps.
It couldn't be made up, could it?
Carpenter Kim.
You didn't hear my knock.
What is it?
I'm from the Central Police Station Cyber Investigations unit.
Detective Lee Dae Ho.
You don't know just based on a person's looks.
You never know.
He might be a criminal who ruins people's families.
By chance,
did he ask to borrow money?
Oppa.
Where's Il Ri?
Home is best, huh?
Don't get sick again.
It looks like snow.
Bring the umbrella and blanket first.
Okay, I'll hurry.
What?
Should I do this?
Hee Soo, let's get out.
Oh, my.
Is it broken?
Why won't it move?
It was fine when we left. Why would it break?
Why can't you even do that?
It's broken. It won't move.
Why won't it budge?
Jeez, you're a minus hand. Every time you touch money or machines...
Darn, it won't work.
I've never done it. You try.
Who will I depend on if I get older and immobile?
Jeez.
Good one.
- That's strange. - See?
- It was fine. - It's broken.
How dare you?
- I'll do it. - You scared me.
When did you get here so quietly?
- Just now. - Okay.
You try.
I'll do it.
- Father. - Okay.
Push this button to release.
Oh, there was a switch.
Jeez, really.
I'll do it.
She has to be changed.
Where's Mrs. Park?
Outside.
Tell her to come.
Hee Soo.
We have to learn...
how to live without Il Ri.
It'll be tough.
But let's try.
I'll help you.
I decided.
To live without Il Ri.
That I can do it.
Or I felt like I would die.
I...
decided to leave my wife.
You know I love you, Mother.
I'm sorry.
This is where we end.
I...
won't be able to come often.
I might never come.
Are you really divorcing?
Then...
I can see Mrs. Kim?
You bastard!
