Valid Love

Is it possible to be in love with two different people – at once, wholly, equally? Kim Il Ri (Lee Si Young) finds herself in that position between her husband and another man with whom she has an affair. Il Ri (which is a homonym for the word “valid”) falls in love with her high school biology teacher, Jang Hee Tae (Uhm Tae Woong), who is a marine researcher temporarily teaching at an all-girls’ school. When they meet up again years later, Il Ri gets her way and the two get married. With Hee Tae going back to his work as a marine researcher on a ship for weeks at a time, the two settle into a happy marriage. However, that all changes when Il Ri, who works as a house painter, meets the young carpenter Kim Joon (Lee Soo Hyuk) on a house project. Il Ri falls in love with Joon, and she is hopelessly caught in the middle of two men’s love. When Hee Tae finds out about his wife’s infidelity, what will become of their once fated relationship? “Valid Love” is a 2014 South Korean drama series directed by Han Ji Seung.
