Valid Love
[Episode 12: Lover, Stranger]
Il Ri.
Let's date.
Let's officially go out.
Let's start...
...over again.
It's cold.
It's perfect weather to date.
It was...
...around there.
I kissed my husband there first.
When I was eighteen.
But I hurt him so badly.
He must be so hurt.
He must be suffering so much.
Did you know?
That you can only feel your own pain?
How could he have that face hiding in him?
Is he the person I knew for ten years?
Knowing that is hard enough.
We won't meet again.
Don't you like being...
...together?
Do you dislike it?
Look at me.
Do you dislike looking into each...
...other's eyes?
Even if we won't meet again?
That's how I was.
In my head.
But it didn't work.
Hi, Hee Young.
Yeah.
Oh, my!
Come here. Come here!
You're saying it's true the catering company is coming in?
Yeah.
Let's not do this.
Let's meet and talk.
Can you meet tomorrow?
I'm going crazy.
I'm going to do as I feel.
You, too...
Do as you feel.
What is this?
You like her that much?
How much do you like my sister?
That's the only thing I'm wondering. How much do you like her?
Well...
To heaven and earth?
I haven't thought about it.
Huh?
I haven't thought about how much I like her.
But if that's important to you...
I'll think about it.
Your passcode is incorrect.
Try again in a moment.
[My husband]
Tell me the passcode to the front door.
You should've just texted.
I wondered if you'd changed it.
I didn't change it.
You can't remember it?
Yeah.
I can't remember all of a sudden after going to my mom's.
Honey...
are you okay?
I'm okay. It can happen.
I got in.
I'll hang up.
Okay.
Rest.
Bye.
Don't see him.
He seems crazy.
I mean...
You better not.
Don't promise your future together like a country bumpkin.
Don't worry about it. I won't meet him again.
Really?
Okay.
I'm gonna wash up first.
But...
if someone else is my brother-in-law...
it'd be strange.
It was strange.
It was only three days since my wife went to her mother's.
But the distance between us felt like three years passed.
I felt that much more at peace and unconcerned, too.
[Divorce petition]
It's painful being together.
We have to be apart to be at peace.
Like an unrelated person.
We're strangers now.
Yes, Father.
In my whole life...
how could a woman...
I've never seen anyone besides my mom.
How could a woman leave the door wide open and...
I know.
Why enter someone else's house?
Someone else's?
Aren't you in someone else's house?
This is my sister's house, too.
They haven't divided assets.
You gotta be kidding me. It's your sister's fault they're divorcing. What assets?
We might ask for alimony at this rate.
That's enough.
What the...
What gives you the right to bring food?
You think I wanna do this?
Jeez, it's my mom's fault.
You think my brother will eat it?
Adulterous spouse...
This adulterous food?
If you keep talking about adultery,
I won't hold back.
Hold what back?
Huh?
If you don't?
Don't you know your sister turned my family upside down?
You know how my mom is doing?
What about my sister?
She spent her youth at that house getting married at 25.
Acting as nurse and chauffeur...
and even housekeeper and furniture store employee sometimes.
How can you use a person like that?
That's your sister's doing.
Hey!
Do you know how far I went?
I went to my sister...
and asked her if she'd go to a nursing home. Why?
Even if I dislike your sister,
I felt like using her like that was wrong. But your sister chose to do it.
Even if my sister offered, you still do that?
You acted oblivious and left her to my sister!
And my brother?
Hey.
Have you ever thought about my brother who got stabbed in the back?
How can he kick her out so cruelly?
They were together seven years! In this cold winter?
Did she die?
She didn't.
I would've murdered her, you wench.
Stay still if you don't know anything, you little brat.
Is that...
something to deserve death?
Liking someone...
Does that deserve death?
Go away.
Of course...
it's not something to die for.
But she shouldn't have gone that far.
Or it'll become a clutter like the refrigerator, right?
Let's go.
To celebrate becoming strangers, I'll...
...treat you.
Go to Hee Soo's room.
Excuse me?
She's constipated after you left.
Her mom and the nurses...
...tried everything.
Even Nurse Kim came by.
But nothing worked.
I feel like it's an affliction of the heart.
Keep it secret from my wife.
Or I'll get beaten to death.
Okay.
And what you did...
I wish it was a dream.
I still don't believe it.
Or just a mistake.
I'm full of mistakes myself.
Ugh.
Oh...
Go ahead.
Unni!
Hey!
How can you come now? I almost died of constipation!
I'm here.
Il Ri's here.
Are you okay?
You haven't been looking well.
Were you just watching then?
You should've told me sooner.
Go rest.
I think I should.
Take them apart and store them.
Friend! Let's go eat.
Where are you going?
Why?
Are you sick?
Are you sleeping, sunbae?
Why?
You should eat first.
I don't feel like it.
You have to eat to take medicine.
I brought medicine, too.
You have the flu.
I'll be okay if I sleep it off.
It'll last days like that.
You have to get rid of it early.
Okay? Hurry.
At times like this...
Mom's plain porridge is the best.
Right.
With soy sauce.
Right.
Is it okay?
Why? Does it taste bad?
That brat...
What?
She never apologized to me.
I suddenly remembered that.
"I'm sorry" or "Please forgive me."
She begged grabbing my legs.
Never mind.
It's in the past.
I feel so relieved.
I'm going to live.
I feel like I could fly.
I'm more relieved.
Your poop was so hard.
That method is a secret.
Don't tell anyone.
Unni, where should we go today?
I can stay late because Mother's at a new year's gathering.
Let's go out.
It's too cold outside.
I'll bundle up and stay in the car.
I'm dying of frustration.
Let's go out. Okay?
Wanna watch an American drama?
Should I get permission from Father?
Shall we go now?
Unni...
where would it be best to go?
What is it?
You have lots of regret.
Kim Il Ri.
Speak carefully, Carpenter Kim.
Be careful with your heart.
What are you doing?
Get out. Don't you see Hee Soo?
I was rude before.
I'm sorry.
I was going to your house.
Wanna watch a movie?
Let's go together.
You don't have plans, right?
Do you like movies?
Are you joking?
Get out and go your way.
Sorry, unni.
Unni...
Do you wanna go?
You really wanna go to the movies?
She wants to, right?
The blind date.
I won't if you don't want me to.
What right do I have?
[Valid Love]
It's pretty empty because it's daytime on a weekday.
But don't let your guard down.
But...
is it okay if that guy is here?
I do want to slap you again.
But I want to watch a movie on the big screen more.
Family ties don't matter at times like this.
Unni, your wish is coming true today.
Honestly, I was curious what kind of guy he was.
His proportions are good.
I'll push her wheelchair.
Thanks for lending a hand.
You can go now.
I'll sit apart then.
I can't do that?
You eat the popcorn.
How old are you to keep speaking informally?
How old are you?
I'm 31, year of the mouse.
I'm 30, year of the ox.
My birthday's early. We're pretty much the same age.
Well...
I'm going to the restroom.
Can you stay with her?
He's younger than me.
But he acts like an adult.
Um...
I'm a carpenter.
I make furniture.
I know.
There's an old saying you become a carpenter if you care for tools for three years.
So what?
It's not amusing?
You get a zero for sense of humor.
Have you seen this picture?
See the planer?
Below this person is a clamp saw.
Like Heung Boo will saw the gourd.
This person on the left...
is making sure it's perpendicular with a planer.
The column has stand straight.
Don't you know anything besides carpentry?
I have to look at old pictures for my next project.
You get a zero for diversity.
That's why I'm looking at this.
How do you feel?
I'm okay.
Are you going home?
Yeah.
I'll drop you off today. Specially.
I'm okay. There's no need.
You barely lowered your fever. It'll spike while you wait for the bus.
All my care will be in vain.
I'm really okay.
Come down in ten minutes.
I'll warm up the heater.
From number one.
Start.
Fail.
Next.
Yes, sir!
Fail.
You've got to be kidding me.
How can you watch the movie?
You're no match for my brother.
Excitement...
Trembling...
Expectation, disappointment...
That day on his face...
those typical expressions flitted by...
There were certain expressions on my face that day, too.
Are you really okay?
You look uncomfortable.
No, I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
Do you still have a fever?
You don't have a fever.
My sister Hee Soo...
had a special expression, too.
Oppa.
Yeah.
Don't stare at people like that.
Oppa.
Don't stare at people like that.
Are you hungry?
I'm not.
I paid for the movie.
Shouldn't you buy dinner?
I bought the popcorn, too.
You ate it all.
Is it here?
Yeah.
Thanks for the ride.
Don't skip meals.
Did you bring your medicine?
Of course.
Sunbae.
It's cold.
Can I have some tea?
Tea?
Oh...
It's late.
It's only 7pm.
That's right. The sun goes down so fast.
Come in.
Have some tea.
Okay.
Goodness...
Come in.
I tried to clean up.
It's not usually like this.
Have a seat.
Sit here.
I'll make tea.
Oh, yeah.
Dinner would be better, wouldn't it?
Let's eat instead.
I'll make food.
I'll help you.
No, you're a guest.
No...
What is there?
Wow.
Do you really live alone?
Mother must have come by.
That's good. We just need rice.
Wait a couple minutes. I have instant rice.
Now...
Hey...
Where did all of it go?
You always ate instant rice, huh?
That's fine. I'll make rice then.
Wait a moment.
I'm sorry.
I don't have rice.
Ramen's no good, right?
Do you have ramen?
Of course.
Sorry.
Let's just eat out. It's okay.
Welcome.
It's okay. Sit.
Let's just eat this and go.
Are you okay?
Sit.
I'm okay.
Let's go elsewhere, sunbae.
Why should we?
I'm a regular here.
I wanted to bring you here.
A bottle of soju, please.
Okay.
A bottle of soju, please.
Okay.
Round three...
Let's go the round three. It's my treat to the end.
Oppa, my ass.
I paid for round two.
Then I'll pay for round three!
Let's go.
The atmosphere's killer here.
Why do I care about atmosphere with you?
Acting out because you're drunk...
Okay, I'll let it slide.
Do a roundhouse kick.
Hey.
I don't do that anytime.
- Do it. - I'm wearing a skirt.
Roundhouse kick!
Strawberry Pig did a roundhouse kick!
Roundhouse kick!
Stop! You're embarrassing.
What?
Why come here?
I'm full.
Let's go elsewhere.
You wench...
Don't you always eat a lot?
Strawberry Pig?
Huh?
Braised spicy angler!
Braised seafood!
That's enough today.
Okay.
Let's stop.
Oh, yeah.
You have to drive.
I'll call a driver.
Are there female drivers? It's dangerous.
It's nearby.
Have you called a driver before?
You never took taxis because you were scared.
I can ride just fine now.
I've called drivers, too.
But you still can't. I'll go with you.
I'll escort you home and take a taxi.
That woman is pretty, huh?
She's my husband's first love.
Let's leave.
After I finish this.
That's like my blood...
Get up.
This is left.
Let's go.
Okay.
I couldn't say hello earlier.
I'm sorry.
Oops.
My sister was rude last time.
I'm sorry about that, too.
I thought only your face was pretty but so are your hands.
Please take good care...
of my Dr. Jang.
I'm sorry. She's drunk.
Why let her get that drunk?
Hurry up and go.
You taught me how to drink.
The one who taught me to drink soju.
You took all my drunken antics.
Sun Joo.
You said you understood her?
That it's possible?
What do you think in-person?
Do you understand?
Liar.
Who could understand me?
You, who lived with me seven years, can't understand me.
Who could understand me?
Who cares who it is?
It's not you.
That's why I'm...
not sorry at all.
I'm not sorry at all. You know why?
You don't know, do you?
You don't know because you're stupid.
I'm not sorry. Why should I be?
You don't know anything! Nothing!
Why should I be sorry!
I'm not sorry at all!
After that ordeal was over,
I felt bad about her humiliation.
Where did she go?
My small minded imagination.
I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry at all.
[In the forest]
And...
a new relationship was coming to me.
[Valid Love]
We're strangers!
So refreshing.
Right, in-law?
We're strangers.
Don't call me in-law!
That's right.
You're Yi Ri.
Wild Yi Ri.
My wild, solitary Yi Ri.
For audacious Yi Ri's sake,
I'll...
sing you a song.
Listen well.
Since we're strangers.
Don't fool around.
Yi Ri!
Did you see?
I'm so emotional.
Are you drunk?
You can't be drunk already. The winter night is long.
We have to go to round five.
Look at this. You're drunk. Get a grip.
Be honest.
What?
You're an...
Internet gossiper, huh?
I told you I'm not. Are you crazy?
Why can't you say?
Just say you're a gossiper if you are.
Why can't you say?
I'm gonna sober up after working hard to get drunk.
I'm really not.
What do I have to do for you to believe me?
Should I uncover everything?
Uncover?
Then...
I'm...
gonna kiss you.
What?
I'm gonna kiss you.
Kiss?
You're a gossiper if you avoid.
I'm not.
Don't avoid.
I'll spread the rumor.
I'm really not. You have no consistency thankfully...
That's amazing.
How did her constipation go away?
Why isn't Il Ri showing her face?
What did you just say?
[Incheon Courthouse]
I said I'd come get you.
It's okay.
Let's go.
Hee Tae.
Did you bring the papers?
Oh, yeah. The papers.
You didn't bring them?
Must be in the car.
I know I brought them.
Hi, Mom.
You're not at work, right?
Come to my hospital quickly.
Why?
Don't argue, just come. I need more people.
Bring Yi Ri with you, okay?
How could they fire us after fifteen years?
They wouldn't treat a worm like this.
Let's go to the end!
What is it?
I don't know.
I should go for now.
I'll be going.
Go in my car.
Mom?
By chance, is she on strike?
Strike?
You knew?
What is it?
My mom's become a fighter.
I'll be back.
Come back before peak time!
How are you?
What do you care?
What?
Taxi!
Kim Yi Ri, let's talk.
Huh?
Kim Yi Ri!
Hello.
It's me, sunbae.
You didn't come to work today?
Yeah, I took the day off.
Why? Did your flu come back?
No, I had something to do.
Something bad?
It's nothing.
Then...
want to have dinner later?
Sure, let's do that. I'll pick you up.
Okay.
See you later.
Okay.
[010-3880 - Carpenter Kim]
Answer, it must be Carpenter Kim.
It's noisy.
Okay.
Hey, you answered.
I thought you wouldn't.
What is it?
You just left that night.
I was curious.
Oh, man! Really!
You're together?
Yes.
Where are you?
Why...
aren't you answering my calls or texts?
Are you mad?
Why would I be mad?
Right?
What are you doing?
What's the big deal when we kissed?
What did you just say?
Who kissed?
You and me.
Don't fire without reason!
Without reason! Without reason!
Guarantee!
Guarantee! Guarantee!
You used us and now kick us out!
Kick us out! Kick us out!
Ahjummas are people, too!
People, too! People, too!
Guarantee our survival!
Guarantee! Guarantee!
Don't fire without reason!
Without reason! Without reason!
Guarantee our survival!
Guarantee! Guarantee!
There are around ten people striking in front of the hospital.
Mom!
You're here.
You know that Twist or whatever?
Take pictures and upload it there.
Goodness.
Hee Tae, you came.
Thank you.
Don't go and wait, okay?
Now, now, now.
Stop it.
The hospital and company are reviewing right now.
There's no benefit in doing this.
Do you take us as stupid?
We read the news on smartphones.
Reviews always end up being pointless.
We're not moving until a deal is signed.
Tell the hospital director to come out!
Come out!
What to do about my mom?
You can go now.
I have to see Mother.
She's not your mother anymore.
You have no...
...fear, huh?
I'm only afraid of one person.
Her.
Ahjummas are people, too!
People, too! People, too!
This isn't the time.
Don't you see that?
Both of you leave unless you'll help my mom.
Go, honey.
You, too, Carpenter Kim.
Unni!
- Unni? - Yi Ri.
She's doing it?
Where's Mom?
Why are you here, hyung?
What about you?
I...
Huh?
Who are you?
Leave.
You shouldn't be here.
Hold on.
Haven't we met?
We've never said hello.
Right? You know me, right?
Hurry up and go.
Hurry.
Oh...
Oh.
Was it you?
You're the bastard who blindsided my brother.
Why are you doing this? Let go.
Hold on. How dare this asshole...
Mom!
Mother-in-law!
I'll see you later, okay?
Yi Ri!
Let go!
Let go and talk!
Ahjusshi, talk it out!
Let go of her!
Let go!
You have a mother, too! Let go!
Let go of my mom!
Let go!
Let go! Mom!
- Let go! - Talk it out!
You guys...
Are you okay?
Talk it out!
Yi Ri!
Are you okay?
Talk it out!
You stop that!
I thought it was all over.
But I still had feelings left.
I'm still her guardian.
