Valid Love
You really don't care?
You drank too much. Stop.
Are you really divorcing?
Then...
I can keep meeting Mrs. Kim?
Can I keep liking her?
You bastard!
You should stop when I said so, asshole!
[Reason for divorce - adultery]
[Level of education - high school]
[Occupation - day laborer]
Honey!
What happened?
What to do?
Are you hurt elsewhere?
Who did this?
Who did this and why?
What happened?
Who hit him?
Did the person who hit him run?
Look here.
Did you hit my husband?
Look here!
How can you sleep after hitting someone?
Ugh, alcohol smell.
He's the one who got beat up, ahjumma.
No, you must be mistaken.
My husband isn't violent.
He could live without laws.
I think he'll need laws.
Look here.
Look here!
Are you Jang Hee Tae's guardian?
Look here, ahjumma.
Are you Jang Hee Tae's guardian?
Both of them.
What?
Jang Hee Tae and Kim Joon...
I'm the guardian for both of them.
[Episode 11: Trash]
Hey, hey.
Why only this much?
Minimum wage is $4.70 an hour. Calculate it.
$4.70? How much?
$4.70.
Four hours at $4.70 equals...
$18.80.
You're good at calculation.
Why is it only $16.43 then?
Where's the rest?
It's not four hours. It was exactly three and a half hours.
You just wait.
You thief Strawberry Pig.
I'll...
There...
How much? $4.70?
You wanna die?
You're a penny short! It's $16.44.
I didn't have a penny.
Then give me a nickel. Didn't you learn to round up in school?
Give me change. Hand over four cents.
Tomorrow. Go home.
We don't take in homeless. Drink cold water and get a grip.
Just tonight. Just once!
Just tonight.
Soo Young said no.
Then I'll just freeze to death.
You're the final witness.
You'll have to give testimony all over and deal with gossip.
You'll have to do interviews.
Why do something so bothersome? Just open up for a night.
Do people die that easily?
I'm gonna sleep at my brother's house.
I'm gonna ask your sister to make me ramen and give me a toothbrush.
I'm gonna ask for new underwear instead of brother's.
Right?
I can't do that, right?
I'll go with you.
Why?
I wanna apologize to your brother.
Black bean noodles?
That was so long ago.
Ahjusshi.
Sleep at home. Your guardian's here.
Don't sleep here!
Hurry and wake up!
- Hurry and wake up! - So cold...
Where do you think you're going?
Wait for a moment.
I want to talk.
You get up, too.
Why don't you hurry up?
What are you doing?
Talk here if you want to.
Follow me if you don't want to freeze.
Come.
My fate...
I was warm in my husband's arms.
But I got dragged out and looking after that Andro bitch in the middle of the night.
I was...
signing the divorce papers when I rushed out.
I wanted to talk because we need to settle things.
You and I...
just need to file the papers at court.
What happened with him...
is as you know.
I was excited and wavered.
I forgot about you from time to time.
I knew I shouldn't, but I kept noticing and having feelings for him.
I didn't know what I was saying and doing.
But I never suspected you weren't my soulmate.
I knew that even though this guy excited me.
Anyways, things are settled with us.
So, honey...
you don't need to fight with him.
You, too.
I don't know if this is important to you.
But I'm saying it because people say it's important.
We...
didn't sleep together.
We didn't sleep together.
Oh, yeah.
If you're misunderstanding...
Is that something to say to me?
Don't you have any common sense?
How dare you treat your husband like a scarecrow?
Whether you slept together or not, you crossed a line.
Is not getting caught legally everything?
You already got caught in everything and did it all.
It's over when your heart goes.
Let me ask you.
Would you understand this situation?
Would you understand if I told you I liked another woman and you both?
Well?
No.
See? Why ask me to understand what you can't?
But I think I would try.
If you really liked her...
A woman like that...
There would have to be a reason.
If you didn't dislike me but you liked her,
wouldn't that be the case?
If half your heart was with another woman,
I would go crazy and be tormented.
No, I might be worse off than you right now. But...
you wouldn't do that carelessly.
Maybe you couldn't help it.
There has to be a reason.
I'd try once to understand.
Bravo.
Hyung! It's me!
It's so cold! Move.
Not home?
It's so cold.
Bathroom.
That's not it. I always get confused.
Huh?
What's this?
Divorce petition...
Jang Hee Tae...
Adultery...
They're crazy.
I'm going to my mom's house.
So, go home.
Don't sleep outside.
I'll get my stuff eventually.
Sit.
I'm the one who's a scarecrow.
What are you doing with me here?
What you said...
Was it for my ears?
I'm nothing?
You were just playing.
So, get lost now?
I just have to leave, right?
Are you kidding?
It's my mistake.
I didn't think it'd get this big.
No...
I didn't think on purpose.
I hate complicated things like multiplication.
I just liked a woman.
But that woman has a soulmate.
And she really loves him.
Stop it.
Who's the guardian here?
You take care of yourself.
Ah...
I don't like it either.
Getting half your heart.
Just give it all...
to Dr. Jang.
I refuse.
Now it's over.
After canceling our family cell plan,
I just need to take back my bank account.
Divorce...
might be simpler than I thought.
Moving...
Yeah.
About the same amount of stress as moving.
What are you doing here?
Hyung.
Did you cheat?
[Divorce petition]
[Adultery]
Brother-in-law...
Where's unni?
No.
Divorce isn't simple.
There are each other's families to deal with.
You crazy bitch.
You shit on your own plate because you were in the lap of luxury.
How dare you do that to a husband like that?
Are you so high and mighty?
What do you have to show for yourself?
Unni wasn't in the lap of luxury.
Don't you know how she suffered?
Don't make things messy like this.
Crazy bitch.
I ate seaweed soup after giving birth to her?
How dare you come here?
I'm glad you came.
I welcome you.
How dare you?
How could you if you're sane?
How could you do that to Hee Tae? How?
There's no one like him. Do you know?
Mom.
What?
Why are you calling me?
I want to sleep.
[Mother-in-law]
It's not him.
It's me, Mother.
I...
Kim Il Ri.
I had the affair.
You had the affair?
What do you mean?
You?
You...
met a man?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm sorry, Father.
I see.
Okay.
You signed the divorce papers?
Then go now.
The courthouse is in Hakikdong.
The civil affairs department is on the second floor.
You need to file with a divorce representative.
I went several times.
It runs in the family.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm sorry.
Hee Tae.
Hurry up or you'll be late for work.
You go up, Ki Tae.
Oh, yeah.
You got kicked out.
Take your shoes and socks and leave.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm sorry.
Hee Tae.
Who is this ahjumma?
Ahjumma.
I'm thirsty and need some water.
Let go of my leg.
Just go now.
You evil bitch.
You had an affair?
How dare you cheat on my son?
Don't do this.
- Talk instead, Mother. - How can you do this to my son?
What's going on?
- You... - Don't. It's embarrassing!
What are you doing!
How can you blindside me like this?
- How dare you! - Hey.
I shed bloody tears because of a husband who cheats my whole life.
How can you do this after seeing that?
- How could you? - Mom, get a grip.
Hit me instead!
- Why? - Go in!
Why did you do it?
Because I abused you?
Or were you sick of taking care of Hee Soo?
- No, it wasn't that. - Then why?
Look at me!
You married Hee Tae.
What did the minister say?
Grow old together. Why did you do it?
Why did you break your vow?
You shouldn't have made a promise you can't keep.
You shouldn't have done it!
Mom, stop.
It's my fault for being inadequate.
Yeah, you are.
You're so inadequate to let your wife have an affair.
- Who gave birth to such an idiot? - Go inside!
This looks great. I've been betrayed my whole life.
- Now it's my daughter-in-law. - Jeez, go inside!
Mom, hurry up and go in.
Jeez, really!
What is this?
[Valid Love]
I hope your mother doesn't see.
She left awhile ago.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
It's my sister's fault.
In exchange,
if she hits her again,
my mother won't stay still.
Get out.
Go cry inside.
The battery is running low.
Please recharge it.
What is it?
I'm...
Il Ri's mother.
Oh, I see.
Come in.
Here.
The weather's cold. I'll...
Since it's December.
Have you eaten?
If I haven't?
Will you make me food?
I'll give you a drink.
We shouldn't comfortably share a drink together.
Sit, young man.
Okay.
I wondered what immoral guy it must be.
But you look sensible.
You do sensible work, too.
There are tons of single women. Why a married woman?
For what?
There's one reason I came.
Hee Tae is my only son-in-law.
They might talk of divorce now.
But I only know him.
There's no one like him in the world.
So...
don't come near my daughter again.
That's what I came to say.
I'm sure you understand.
- I... - We...
should never meet again.
Right, young man?
Promise me.
Can you do it?
I'm sorry.
I...
don't make promises.
I'm sorry.
Then I have no choice.
I'll burn this place down.
What?
I told her it's unnecessary.
So?
You told her?
She hit me so much. I thought my back would break.
Yi Ri...
What happened with him...
is as you know.
I was excited and wavered.
I forgot about you from time to time.
I knew I shouldn't but I kept noticing and having feelings for him.
I didn't know what I was saying and doing.
But I never suspected you weren't my soulmate.
I knew that even though this guy excited me.
[Delete]
When I feel useless to the other person...
Whether you slept together or not, you crossed a line.
Is not getting caught legally everything?
You already got caught in everything and did it all.
It's over when your heart goes.
Ah...
I don't like it either.
Getting half your heart.
Just give it all...
to Dr. Jang.
I refuse.
When you find out you're useless...
and no different than trash...
Being left by someone...
that's why it hurts.
The loss you feel when you mean nothing to another.
Did my wife feel...
a tenth of my pain?
But I missed something.
That guy was feeling loss as well.
That guy...
started feeling jealous of me.
Yeah.
Where are you, sunbae? Are you coming?
Huh?
Did you forget?
I think I underestimated traveling to work.
It's my first time renting a house.
I don't know what to look for.
How is it?
It's good for a woman living alone.
Should I take it?
It's the best since it's new.
They used good materials and the lobby has tight security.
You get scared.
Yes.
I'll sign the contract.
Help me review it.
Okay.
Do you have a lot of stuff?
I don't have much.
Oh, yeah.
What will you do?
Huh?
Isn't it hard living alone?
Mother fills the fridge.
The machine does the laundry.
The rice cooker makes rice.
Cleaning...
I just dust with my pants hem.
You're going on that blind date?
I'm just going.
You're too good for him.
I'll be forty soon, sunbae.
There are two types of guys at my age.
A married or divorced man.
You can meet a younger man.
There are tons at our research lab.
Reality...
isn't that romantic.
Is that so?
Yes.
What Jung Goo said was true.
So...
I won't refuse offers.
You...
It's still regrettable.
I feel this way just from a blind date.
How much will I regret if you get married?
Then should I not go?
Huh?
The blind date.
I won't if you don't want me to.
What right do I have?
Yeah, don't go.
Don't date a divorcee.
I'll look into it, really.
Okay.
How is it?
Did you look?
The house is nice, right?
Yes, it's nice.
Of course it is.
There's only one lease in the whole building.
There's a person coming who wants to sign immediately.
Then give me the contract.
You're so obvious.
We're signing anyways. We know leases are rare.
Huh?
Your husband is funny.
I'm not her husband. I'll pick out her husband.
Yeah, don't go.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Park Min Ki.
Even if you run, you live downstairs.
Talk to me instead of making it hard. Stop there!
Hey!
That dude...
Get him!
What is it this time?
Give it.
Hand it over.
I don't want to.
What are you doing?
Hey, hey.
I saw you taking pictures.
It was you?
I won't...
...take anymore.
What did you tell me?
What did you say when I asked you?
- Taking pictures is no big deal. - You jerk.
Don't you know what you did?
You don't know what you did?
Come. Let's go to the police.
No.
I'm sorry, ahjusshi.
Please forgive me once.
Beg at the station.
I won't take pictures.
I won't take anymore.
I really won't!
Really...
What's the big deal?
Call your father.
I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
I'm sorry, but can you move?
I'm sorry.
I'm really...
...really sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault.
What fault does the child have?
I set a bad example.
It's all my fault.
Just once.
Please forgive just once.
Damn it.
Min Ki.
Let's talk.
I'm sorry.
Do you believe in UFOs?
I believed in them.
When I was your age.
But not anymore.
It's theoretically possible but impossible in reality.
It has to surpass the laws of gravity and inertia.
It requires enormous propulsion and energy.
We can't imagine that kind of ability.
That's what my husband said.
I'll believe you.
No matter what anyone says...
I'll only believe what you say here.
Can you tell me...
why you did it?
Please?
How can I trust a woman's words?
On top of that,
a woman who cheated?
[Valid Love]
[Deep Sleep]
I'm sorry.
Take him home now.
Until you forgive,
I'll stay like this.
I'll forgive.
So, get up.
Go feed your child.
Really?
Min Ki isn't normal.
He shouldn't be taken to police.
Is that why you talked to him?
Yes.
But still...
What a nasty kid.
How could a young kid do something so frightful?
But...
he only took pictures and said he didn't send them.
Like drinking but not driving.
You haven't eaten, right?
Should I set the table?
Yeah, let's eat.
I don't feel like it.
It's late. Go.
[Deep Sleep]
Yes, Father.
Come home if you have time.
Your mother is sick.
What is it?
Min Ki...
I think we should talk about him.
Go ahead.
He's still a student so we're not reporting to police.
His father is desperate.
You're very understanding.
Why did a student do that?
There was a reason.
Really?
But it doesn't have to do with you.
Don't worry.
Oh...
It has nothing to do with me.
But it has to do with Dr. Jang.
I guess.
Everyone looks for him.
But I have a right to know.
Since he took my picture, too.
Isn't that why you came?
That is...
Min Ki had a mother.
We thought she was studying abroad.
I thought he was an amazing husband to do that.
I was envious.
Before he moved here...
when Min Ki was in elementary school,
he sent him with her to study abroad.
But...
What?
She...
met a man there.
She wanted to live with him.
So, she sent Min Ki back home on a plane by himself.
That's why Min Ki...
thinks all women are like his mom.
He has an aversion to women.
His dad got him a new cell phone.
He was testing the camera out.
I was caught coincidentally.
Coincidentally?
It was a coincidence?
Yes.
He likes taking pictures.
Hey.
Your cell phone.
Whoa.
What if I dropped it?
Hey.
Don't throw it. It's new.
You caught it.
Darn it.
Hey!
What's with them?
It's true.
Why a one syllable name when you're not Won Bin or Hyun Bin?
You're a carpenter as well.
You're handsome...
That's what happened.
I know it's shocking.
So, you're going to end it like that?
He's only in seventh grade.
It's unfortunate.
His father promised to get him help.
But still...
How can you live with neighbors like that?
We're not neighbors anymore.
Oh, but...
did my mother...
...come here?
That's a secret.
If she knows you came here,
I'll get beaten to death.
I'm sorry.
Moms are all like that.
I'm sorry. I'll be going.
Shut the door tightly.
Okay.
The sun will go down soon.
Can you walk alone like this?
Get in.
I can go alone.
It's not dangerous.
So, let's go.
I'll see if it's dangerous or not.
Get in.
Did you...
...fix the door?
No.
You're here? I heard you were sick.
Yeah, Hee Soo keeps getting rashes. What to do?
Rashes?
Yeah.
She must be stressed.
I know.
She must be uncomfortable with the new nurse.
She hasn't had a bowel movement in days.
She's constipated, too?
She must feel so uncomfortable and heavy inside.
She can't even talk.
It must be so frustrating.
We should give her an enema.
Il Ri was really good at giving enemas.
Why are you wearing the same clothes for days?
Huh?
I changed today.
At any rate,
how could she do that to me?
Your wife, I mean.
Who did she cheat with?
Why do you want to know that?
I guess.
Why do I need to know that?
I'm sorry, Mom.
I rotted inside because of your father.
But Hee Soo always listened and consoled me.
My world turned upside down when she collapsed.
But whether a blessing or curse,
Il Ri took her empty place.
She was such a consolation even though I talked like that.
Since Il Ri was near, it was such a relief.
I thought that so often.
How could she betray me like this?
Why do you think that?
Don't do that.
She's still young.
She's not young.
Like a raccoon farting.
She's over thirty.
She has no experience.
Her only work experience is with ahjusshis at worksites.
Going from home to there.
She doesn't know anything even though she seems to.
If she doesn't know anything,
can she cheat?
It's not that.
She just made a mistake.
Mistake?
Your father should change his name to Mistake Jang if that's a mistake.
Just once.
It was just once, Mom.
You were the first man I held hands with and kissed.
You're my one and only man until I die.
I messed up once.
It would've been fine if that night passed. I ended it all that night.
But this happened.
I'm so upset. I'm so upset I'll die.
It was over.
It ended and nothing really happened.
I found out unfortunately.
Nothing happened and no one would have known.
It came this far because I found out.
So don't think about it, Mom.
Don't think.
Just forget, okay?
Goodness, my baby.
How must you feel?
I know how you feel.
It's tearing you into shreds.
But you're taking your wife's side.
Goodness.
The night I took my wife's side without knowing.
My wife was walking with that guy.
The street she walked...
...with me.
I followed you.
But it's not dangerous.
Go now.
Go in first.
Okay. Then...
That night...
I'm sorry.
The day we went to the police.
Everything.
I'm sorry for everything.
I know.
I feel the same.
Anything more?
If she hadn't met me so early,
it would've been a typical scene in her twenties.
I found out later.
The love my wife should've experienced at that age...
came too late.
That guy...
started a real love affair.
Sunbae.
I'm cold.
Will you give me some tea?
Tea?
Have you seen a picture like this before?
I'm a regular here.
I always wanted to bring you here.
I'm going to do as I feel.
You, too...
Do as you feel.
