Valid Love Episode 17
You scared me!
Oh, my goodness.
Your hair is like a magpie's nest.
It's nothing much.
You've lost so much weight...
and are so thin lately. It won't do.
Let's go eat breakfast together.
Breakfast.
But, I...
She's not there?
No.
What about over there?
She's not.
Ki Tae should've checked her room before leaving for work.
He thought she was in the bathroom.
Where would she go in the morning?
The mineral springs...
Be careful.
Why are you guys out?
Say hello.
It's Mr. Jang.
[Episode 17: Air]
Come in, Mother.
It can't be helped.
Just do as Mother wants for today.
Come in.
Please help.
Just for today.
Mr. Jang always skips breakfast.
I keep telling him to eat.
Why isn't he coming in?
They need to talk.
When I asked you to become Mr. Jang,
I meant to keep her safe until I came to get her if she showed up at your workshop.
Isn't that common sense?
She dragged me over. What could I do?
Just make an excuse and call me.
I didn't think that far because I just woke up.
It's a relief Mother forgot, but if she knew who you are...
I can't believe this.
You think I can?
I woke up and got dragged out.
Eat quietly and go.
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
But...
why are you lying?
You told me to take responsibility for Mrs. Kim.
Why is she here?
That's what I should say.
I begged you not to let her come in this house.
You're the homeowner. You should've made sure she didn't.
She doesn't listen to me now.
- Satisfied? - Then...
I'll take her.
Try all you want.
And do something about your hair.
Eat a lot.
Okay.
Thank you for the food.
Goodness...
You keep speaking formally.
What are you doing?
Why aren't you eating?
You have to eat first.
You have to eat first, Mr. Jang.
Okay, then I will.
You guys eat, too.
How is it?
Does it suit your taste?
Yes, it's delicious.
You're a good cook.
Miss Go.
My mother was a good cook.
Your mother must have been a beauty, too.
Oh, my goodness, Mr. Jang.
Your mother must be a beauty, Mr. Jang.
Are your parents in good health?
Excuse me, Mother.
I don't have parents.
No.
I don't know who they are.
Well...
Mr. Jang, eat this.
What do you mean you don't have parents?
They came to the office awhile ago.
I don't have a family.
That's strange.
Are you all eating breakfast without me?
Oh, Father.
Who is this young man?
Oh, my.
Why is that old man barging in here like this?
I'm your husband. Your husband!
I told you so for hours yesterday.
How hideous. Mr. Jang, don't listen to him.
He's a scrounger looking for food.
He talks nonsense once in awhile.
Hey, let go of me. What's wrong?
Mr. Jang, sit down and eat.
Who are you calling Mr. Jang?
You...
You're that young man from before.
Father, let's talk first.
Mr. Jang, please eat.
Who's Mr. Jang! Who!
The real Mr. Jang is here!
Where did find him?
You don't even recognize your husband?
Who's Mr. Jang!
I really hate you!
I'm trying to feed him breakfast, but you mess up everything.
You should've called your husband if you prepared breakfast!
How dare you bring that guy over and put on a show?
Hey, Hee Tae!
This won't do. Kick him out!
How dare he!
- Get rid of him! - Get rid of that guy!
He was hanging around outside. Who is he?
Get that man out of here!
- Get out! - What?
Let's talk, Father!
I'm Mr. Jang! Me!
- Father, come here. - Let go.
Please.
Why do you keep doing this, honey!
Huh!
Why upset me like this!
Doing this won't help at all, Father.
I'll explain. Calm down first.
Why are you doing this! Why!
Why do you keep scaring me?
Goodness.
What do I do?
Mr. Jang...
What if he misunderstands? Hurry up and tell Hee Tae to get rid of him.
Mother...
Huh? Hurry up.
What's wrong?
Why?
Huh? Hey.
Why?
All of us were hurt.
Even the guy who got dragged into it...
said it hurt him.
However...
what hurt him...
was the unfamiliar air.
In this house, there existed
an air only we knew.
The air created by a family's layered inhalations and exhalations.
Let me go and talk. Please?
I'll go later. Let's talk then.
Wait at your workshop. I'll be there soon.
Okay?
So, the guy began to dread.
Anxiety started to cripple him.
That young man is a carpenter?
Yes.
He has a workshop near the market.
She ran into him a few times coming and going.
She calls anyone Mr. Jang just because she ran into him?
Then all the neighborhood men must be Mr. Jang.
Anyway, don't get mad about that.
It won't help because you get mad.
Let's try to fix it slowly.
I don't know.
Ugh, I can't believe this is happening.
I'm going out for awhile.
Sweetie.
Let's have some tea.
What?
Let's have some tea. Come in.
My name is Go Jung Hee.
I was born in South Pyongan Kaechon Utgol.
My maternal grandfather was a village leader.
His traditional home with 99 rooms was taken from him.
We escaped from North to South Korea during the war.
It was when I was three.
My father and mother took both my older sisters and carried three-year old me
and escaped North Korea.
Without any money.
I see.
Father was born and raised here.
I keep repeating myself, huh?
No.
It's fun hearing it again.
But Mother...
How did you first...
meet Mr. Jang?
Mr. Jang?
One day, a short and dark man came to the office and handed me a document.
Saying it was for reinstatement.
He was short and dark?
Yeah.
He returned after being discharged from the Marines.
He was so manly and staunch.
There was no need for words.
He did everything in action.
He spoke English very well. He had success one after another.
Hold on.
Oh my, what am I doing?
I have to go to work.
What?
[2:10pm]
Mother.
Ki Tae went to the store.
Why Ki Tae?
I always begged him to come to the office and learn.
But he never budged. Why now?
Were you shocked?
You thought I forgot that, too?
Jeez, Mother.
I'm okay. Don't try to test me.
Where are my car keys?
I'll drive you, Mother.
Oh, really?
Shall we go?
I want a refund.
See this?
The scratch?
That's strange.
We check it thoroughly prior to shipping.
We wouldn't have missed that.
I'm sorry. Did you bring your receipt?
Um...
You bought this a month ago.
I'm sorry. Refunds are only possible within fifteen days. I'm sorry.
Whether fifteen days or a month, it was like this when I first got it.
Then you should've said so then.
I just saw it.
I didn't see the back.
Anyway, we can't give you a refund.
You might have scratched it at your home.
Ahjusshi, really...
Ahjusshi?
Hey.
Do you know who I am?
Do I look like someone who would lie over something like this?
Lie? Why do you say that?
Forget it.
I'll go to Consumer Protection Services.
- Right? - Yes.
Go ahead.
What?
Go ahead.
Hey.
Are you kidding me?
How could I kid a customer?
You're joking with me right now.
Did you just figure it out?
You're so slow to catch on.
What?
You little!
Ugh, damn it.
Two sandwiches.
I'm gonna eat here.
Is someone coming?
Bring it to my table.
Have you eaten lunch?
It's busy right now.
We're all doing this to make a living.
Sit, I can't eat it all.
Forget it.
It'll be thrown away then.
Hey.
Do you know how many kids are starving without food in this world?
Don't you feel sorry for them?
Since when did you worried about that?
Just now.
What the...
Anyway, sit.
I can't finish it all. I have no appetite.
I donate $5 every month.
- So what? - Look at that.
Why is she sitting down during work hours?
They're trying to turn me into Tang Wei.
No, noona!
[Wasabi]
Oh, my God!
What's going on?
Did you do it?
Why would I eat then?
[Valid Love]
Hello.
You're here.
Where's Ki Tae?
I don't see him.
He went to have lunch.
Oh, he's eating lunch late.
Is he learning well?
Yes, he's trying really hard.
Teach him well, Manager Park.
Okay.
Carpenter Kim, aren't you closing the door?
Someone's coming.
Let's go.
Hello, Assistant Manager.
Hey, Jang Ki Tae.
Mom.
Why are you taking such a long lunch?
How will you learn at that rate?
Take it easy.
I had a reason.
Goodness, how will you work with all those excuses?
I didn't live like that.
I know.
How'd you do it dealing with all this?
Mom, you suffered a lot.
Goodness, you know how to say things like that?
My youngest must have matured.
Jeez, I matured a long time ago. Whose son am I?
Goodness, goodness, my youngest.
I have to marry him off.
Who should I bring? Just say the word.
- A woman like me. - A woman like you?
Hold on.
I'll be right back.
Where to?
I have business.
Watch over Mother.
No, you can't. Who knows what might happen.
You're being reckless.
Is it important?
I'll be back.
Oh, Madam!
Oh, my!
Mom!
What's wrong, Mother? Are you dizzy?
I'm okay. I just got a bit dizzy.
- Ki Tae. - Huh?
The customers.
- This way please. - Sit over here.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I just get dizzy once in awhile.
It doesn't have to do with that.
Don't make a fuss.
Okay.
If you sit down, it'll get better.
You said you had to go somewhere.
Go take care of business.
I'm fine, so go.
No.
My appointment was canceled.
Really?
[Dementia]
[Dementia, it can be overcome.]
I'm sorry.
I can't go today.
I'll call you.
This style sells well.
Flashy ones like this don't sell as much.
I know.
What do we do?
Welcome.
By chance, my brother-in-law...
Ah, he's not my brother-in-law anymore.
He's over there.
Hey, what is that picture?
Is Teacher already meeting a woman?
I don't know.
Where's Jung Goo?
He's parking.
Good to see you. It's been awhile.
I know.
You've gotten thinner.
It's nothing.
It's cold, Doctor Jang.
Hurry up and sit.
Hey, I wanted you to come out for air, so you call us here? Huh?
Let's go out.
I'm pressing the advantage. Let's go eat.
No, I have to go soon.
You're getting more boring as time goes by.
You're going to turn into a rock.
The situation is like that.
It's not one or two days. It's long-term.
Take it easy.
You'll lose out first at this rate.
Your face looks terrible.
You're not a squid anymore. You're a fermented skate.
You're a rockfish, sunbae.
So what?
Let's go out.
I'll buy meat.
No, I can't. My wife is taking care of my mother all day.
- I have to go home. - Just today.
Did you reconcile?
It's not that.
This is the material I had at home. The rest is on this USB.
Give it to Lee Suk, he'll handle it with my successor.
Oh, okay.
Mother's here.
Soo Young.
I...
have a favor to ask.
Yes, Mother. Just say it.
Go to Il Ri's in-laws and bring her back.
Il Ri's at her...
Il Ri's at her in-laws?
Why is unni there?
I wanted to protect her...
mother-in-law's pride and not tell you.
But I can't. Just bring her out quickly for now.
But, Teacher's over there.
Hee Tae.
Yes?
Speak, Mother-in-law.
I've been...
lying to you all this time.
What do you mean?
I always said I loved you.
It was all a lie.
I don't love you...
more than my daughter.
Send back my daughter.
Return my Il Ri.
I know you must be hopeless because of your mother.
But what did my daughter do?
Your sister is bad enough.
How will she take care of them both?
Right, Hee Tae?
Yes.
I was going to send her back.
I'll send her back today when I get home.
Don't worry, Mother.
I'm sorry.
I can only be this much.
No, I'm the one sorry.
I made her suffer.
How...
How can she lose her mind?
I thought she'd be the last one to lose it.
Where are you going?
Are you demented, old man?
Why do you want to dance?
You liked dancing, Jung Hee. Don't you remember?
How disgusting!
Guys, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and kick him out.
Come here.
She recognized Father suddenly while listening to music.
Really.
My oldest son is home.
Mom, don't do that. Let's dance, okay?
It's been a long time since I've seen you dance.
Do it, Mother. I want to see, too.
Help out.
Mom.
I want to see you dance.
R... Really?
Yeah, don't play hard to get. Come here.
Now, now!
Here comes the music.
Old man scrounging for food...
When did you learn how to dance?
Don't you remember?
We learned dance together.
Stop saying "we." It's disgusting.
You're gonna want the master bedroom for dancing with you once.
Jeez.
Il Ri, let's talk.
You guys come dance, too.
You didn't forget what I taught you, right?
Hee Tae, like this.
Raise you left hand. Right.
Raise your chin.
Tighten your stomach.
Here, hold on.
Hold hands.
Put your right hand on her back.
- Like this. - Hold lightly.
Your thumb has to be like this.
Like this. There.
Your head.
Ki Tae, turn the volume up.
Where are you looking? It's this way. Jeez.
Right, right.
What is this?
Are you guys a married couple?
Why are you so distant?
Hold each other closer. Ugh.
Feel the music.
No rhythm.
Turn around.
Sway.
Right.
You're dancing well.
Sway to the flow.
Right.
That's nice.
Right, that's nice.
I don't think I'll be able to keep my promise to my mother-in-law tonight.
Yeah.
It won't be too late to send her tomorrow.
Who are you?
Look here, young man.
Who are you to do this?
Madam!
Goodness. Madam!
Get out right now!
Is that bastard insane? Hey.
How dare you yell here? Come out.
Hurry up and get out.
How dare you? Get out.
Get out!
Who is that jerk talking to?
Mr. Jang!
We were just dancing.
This old man kept begging me.
Get out.
- Talk to me. - Let go.
- Ki Tae, go inside. - Let go.
Why talk to this bastard? Just kick him out.
Let's talk.
Come out.
Get out.
Mr. Jang, what in the world?
I'll talk to him. Go in.
I'll talk to him. Let's go.
Hey, let go of her!
I got it. Let go.
- I'll go on my own. Let go! - Kim Joon.
You're upset.
Calm down and talk.
How can I not be upset?
Why do you keep staying here?
So, calm down and talk.
You go in, honey.
No, you go in, honey.
Let's go.
How could you?
All the elders were there. How?
Forget me. What does that make Hee Tae?
You said you'd come.
You should've even if you were late.
Was that why you couldn't come?
Dancing...
Laughing and talking...
Is that all you can say knowing Mother's condition?
That's why I told you not to go.
This isn't something I need your permission for!
You should've trusted me.
Whatever I do...
I must have a reason.
You should've trusted me.
It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust that family.
Everyone's holding onto your ankles!
Don't say that.
That family...
Don't talk about them carelessly.
Then what am I?
Then what am I...
...to you.
- Don't you know? - No!
I don't know. I don't know.
I think I'm less than that family to you.
Huh?
When we first met,
did you know it would go this far?
When we first met...
How old are you?
Are you even thirty?
Crazy bastard!
Look here!
What is that?
It's nothing.
Throw it away then.
Why carry it around?
Why are you following me?
Who?
You've been following me.
Me?
I'm taking a walk.
Then go ahead.
I'm resting because my legs hurt.
Did you know it would get this far?
You were just excited.
You thought it would stop there.
Did you know you would roll around a bottomless pit
and end up standing here like this?
Who's fault is all this?
Who are you to me?
If you were nothing,
why would I be standing here like this?
I came this far following my heart.
My heart only followed you.
If you ask...
"What am I?"
Then...
What becomes of my past?
Then just stay here.
Don't go.
I know you're mad.
But you made a mistake today.
You're not the only one who's mad. I'm mad, too!
Is it me or that family?
Is my question wrong?
Is it me or Doctor Jang?
Answer.
[Valid Love]
I asked him to act like Mr. Jang.
I thought Mother would keep going there.
Jeez.
It's shocking enough that she calls him Mr. Jang.
I was a bit rude then.
I think he got mad because of it.
But to scream at someone else's house at night?
This is breaking and entering.
We can file charges.
It's really stressful to that guy that Mother keeps calling him Mr. Jang.
I can understand that.
Ugh, this horrible disease.
Jeez.
Mother.
Where are you going?
This won't do.
I think he really misunderstood.
I'm going to go explain.
I explained for you.
I told him it was a misunderstanding.
I explained that you were just playing along.
You did?
Yes.
What did he say?
He said he understood. He won't misunderstand.
Ow, Mother.
I told you.
Don't step one foot in there.
How dare you flirt with Mr. Jang?
Let's talk.
I met your mother earlier.
I promised to send you back.
Don't worry your mother. Go now.
I'll talk to Mom.
Where's your bag?
I'll drop you off.
Then just a few days.
After the family adjusts.
I'll go after a few days.
Let's do that.
Ugh, really.
Does this make sense? How is that bastard our father?
Then I was born from him?
Say something that makes sense.
Does what happened to Mom make sense?
Ugh.
Hi, Mom.
So?
Fine, do as you like!
What'd she say?
She's not coming?
She said a few days.
Goodness, don't you think I know?
She'll end up having three kids saying she'll leave.
Why do that without any love?
Is her mother-in-law...
doing that badly?
Goodness. What's the point of saying?
It was over when she rolled in the street.
Darn it.
Whatever!
What does it have to do with me?
Hey.
Why not? It has to do with your sister.
Unni.
I'm so tired.
Did you know it was noisy all night?
I know Mom and Dad were dancing.
Who came by earlier?
His voice sounded familiar.
Who was it?
Carpenter Kim.
Carpenter Kim?
Carpenter Kim was the one who yelled earlier?
It's obvious he wouldn't like...
...me being here.
Why do what he hates?
Unni.
Am I being too greedy?
Asking for more...
and demanding to have more is dating.
So, you do what the other hates.
But do you...
know what greed is?
When Mom and Dad danced,
I danced with them.
Turn around.
One, two, three!
Wow, you're dancing well!
That's all.
Wanting more than that...
is being greedy for me.
Apologize first if it bothers you that much.
May I take your order?
What are you doing tonight?
I'm working.
After work?
I'll wash my feet at home and sleep.
When can I buy you a meal?
I would never eat food you buy me.
Never say never.
You'll get in trouble.
But I can buy you food.
Hold on.
Hey.
Are you pitying me?
Is that why you're buying me food?
Pity or whatever.
I wanted to treat, so you'll be strong.
Take good care of your mother and work hard at the store.
I want you to be reborn as a new worker of a nation.
Hey.
Do I need your pity because my mom is sick?
Huh?
Hey!
Instead of pity,
give me love.
What? Why are you staring? Don't you know love?
What the...
Do you know what love is?
I'll find out if I do.
I don't want to do it with you.
Whatever. You're destined to date me.
That's what they call a delusion.
What about my chastity?
You stole my lips.
It was my first time.
What the?
You expect me to believe that?
Have trust. It's a good thing.
Give me proof.
How can I give proof? You stole it!
Give back my chastity.
Why are you throwing a fit?
You better take responsibility.
Fine, I will. Give me proof.
I said you stole it! You sucked it away!
Ugh, how annoying.
I can't be nice to you even if I want to.
What? Be nice to me?
Hey! Then keep being nice!
Hey!
Strawberry Pig!
Strawberry Pig?
Look at this.
We're standing next to the kids here.
Why would I be standing there unless I was their father?
Hey, Hee Tae.
When did you photoshop this?
This wasn't put together.
This man is my father.
See our youngest here?
His smile looks just like mine.
We look the same.
How dare you compare my precious son to you?
I'm going crazy.
If you don't believe this, what can I do?
Look here, old man.
Look carefully. How could my tall, slender daughter
take after you?
Tell me how she resembles you.
It's because she takes after you, honey.
Why do you keep saying "honey?" It's disgusting.
Okay, okay. Sorry, Jung Hee.
Hee Tae.
I can't believe this. It's a conspiracy.
Mom, hold on.
The phone is turned off. You'll be connected to voice mail.
Look at this.
Oh, my!
I didn't think I'd get old back then.
I thought I'd be young like this forever.
You're still young and cute.
How gross, don't call me cute.
What about this?
Do you remember this?
Yeah!
This is Mr. Jang!
Right! That's Mr. Jang!
This is the real Mr. Jang.
This person became me when I got older.
You remember now?
It's me. Mr. Jang!
Hey, you!
What's wrong, honey?
What? Mr. Jang got old and became you, old man?
I'm the real Mr. Jang!
- Father, go! Let go, Mom! - That guy is a fake!
Let go of this!
It's a weapon.
Hey, let go!
Mom! Father, go in.
Come here!
Come here.
Jeez, really!
Ugh, Mom, Mom, Mom!
What's so noisy?
Don't worry about it.
What are you looking at?
That guy, jeez.
Okay, let's drink.
- Sing at a karaoke. - Right.
Look here.
You're drunk.
Go home.
So noisy.
Another bottle of soju please.
Sir.
You're really drunk. Please stop drinking.
I'm not drunk.
Well...
Please get up.
I'll deduct one bottle from the check.
It's okay. Another bottle please.
Don't do this. Here...
I said another bottle.
Don't do this. Get up.
I said forget it!
Hey.
You're young. Be considerate of others.
Stop and leave now.
Don't talk to me.
Another bottle of soju please.
Let's go.
Go.
Just go.
What's with this...
Darn it.
Who is it?
Who do you think? It's Kim Joon.
Open the door!
Doctor Jang!
I said open the door.
Open the door!
What now?
What's wrong?
Hey, Kim Joon.
Stop there.
Hey, Kim Joon! Hey!
- Earlier you... - Hey, what is this?
You're good, Mom.
Mr. Jang!
Why is that bastard here again?
Get out, Kim Joon. Let's talk outside.
Let go of me!
I wanna live here, too.
Let's just...
all live together here!
Okay?
Come here.
Everyone come here!
Come here.
Mr. Jang.
Who squeezed the toothpaste in the middle?
I'll do it then.
Do it with me.
I wanna do it, too.
My baby...
in your next life...
eat...
sing and talk...
walk and dance...
Let's do it all.
I love you, my daughter.
