In "A Valid Love," Lee Shi Young showed a woman in love going through tough times.
On the 16th episode of tvN Monday/Tuesday drama "A Valid Love" (script Kim Do Woo, director Han Ji Seung) broadcast on December 16th, Il Lee started to develop feelings for Joon as her mother-in-law noticed this and slapped her face.
Afterwards, the place that Il Li's feet took her to was Joon's place. After seeing that Il Li had been slapped Joon said, "Cry if you want to," and comforted Il Li. Nonetheles, Il Li was stubborn. This was because she had cried on the inside until now because of her mother who was hurt and her husband that was double or triple as apologetic when he saw her cry.
From a certain point on, Il Li had always hid her feelings when interacting with others. Seeing Il Li like this, Joon nailed her emotions on the head. He said, "You're a slave. You're like a puppet." With this, he started poking at the pains of Il Li that she had been struggling with. With these verbal attacks, Il Li ended up crumbling. She started to cry and scream as she let out the emotions that she had been holding inside. Joon said that she could cry next to him and this reminded her of how Il Li and Hee Tae were 14 years ago.
