No Matter What (No Matter What They Say / Nuga Mwolaedo / 누가 뭐래도)

Dad.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes.

I...

am going to the mountains to dig up some herbs.

Well,

you still have some time until the sun rises,

so go back to bed.

I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep.

Can't you stay by my side until I fall asleep?

Sure.

I will.

I'll keep you safe,

so don't worry...

and sweet dreams.

Byeo Ri, don't be startled.

My liver cancer recurred.

So I'm going to stay in the mountain.

I want to stay by your side and brush your hair,

cook meals for you,

and drive you to school,

but I'm sorry that I can't do that.

Although I'll be apart from you,

you'll always be in my heart.

During the day, I'll be the sun,

and during the night, I'll be the moon...

and protect you.

I'm so proud to have...

a kind daughter like you, Byeo Ri.

Byeo Ri.

I...

love you so much.

I'll write to you again.

Byeo Ri, what's the matter?

Dae Ro.

Dad left this letter behind and went away.

What?

He went to the mountains in the end.

He should go to the hospital if he's unwell.

Why did he go to the mountains?

Byeo Ri.

Is it serious?

Is he going to die?

Why are you crying, Byeo Ri?

Dae Ro, Dad's not going to die, is he?

Tell me he's not!

What is she on about?

Byeo Ri, don't cry.

I'm going to go with Dad!

The phone...

- is turned off. Please leave... - He won't pick up.

Dae Ro, find Dad for me.

Chan Sung.

Please mind the factory for me.

I'll drop Byeo Ri off school and go to Gurye.

But he sold his house in the hometown.

Will he have gone there?

It's a text from Dad.

Dae Ro, don't even think about coming after me.

I'll attend your wedding.

If you set a date, send me a text.

Please take good care of Byeo Ri.

What did he say?

Dad is coming to my wedding,

so he doesn't want me to look for him.

If we want to see her dad,

you better fix your wedding date.

Dae Ro.

Will Dad be all right by himself?

Dad...

promised he'd come to the wedding,

so let's trust that he will.

I don't think...

I can see Bo Ra for a while.

So I came to say goodbye.

Bo Ra's out for a shoot.

But are you going back to the States?

No.

I got summoned to the prosecution.

I think I have to stay in detention for a while.

You're finally paying for your sins.

I tried to succeed...

while abandoning you and Bo Ra.

But in the end, this is what has come of me.

It's too late to regret what you did.

I wanted to tell Bo Ra that I'm sorry.

You raised her so well without me,

but I've tarnished her life.

Not only you've abandoned us,

but you also did cruel things to Byeo Ri's dad.

Why did you try so hard to become successful?

After our family went bankrupt and my parents passed away,

you know how I've lived.

To get the scholarship,

I stayed up all night.

I've never had food other than from the cafeteria at my college.

I strongly wanted to succeed.

Like those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth,

I wanted to enjoy my life without worrying about money.

That's why I went to the States and married Ji Ran.

Then you should've stopped there!

But...

you don't become well-off by marrying the wealthy.

My mother-in-law never acknowledged me as her son-in-law.

So I walked on eggshells and was looked down on.

That made me desperate.

You reap what you sow.

So face the music.

I'm sorry.

Hae Shim.

I'll apologize from the bottom of my heart.

You should go.

I'll pass on the message you left...

to Bo Ra.

All right.

I'll wish you well.

Ah Ri.

What brings you here unannounced?

I came here to tell you something.

Dad wants to have dinner at home.

Are you free?

Of course, I am.

Sit down.

Dae Ro's coming too.

Dad approved of their marriage too.

Did he?

Did Father reconcile with Byeo Ri's dad?

I think Dad changed his mind after finding out that he's unwell.

I see.

That's good to hear.

Bo Ra wants to hold a small wedding with Dae Ro,

so Dad suggested that we should join them.

What do you think?

A joint wedding?

As long as I can get married to you,

whatever is fine.

Anything is fine.

Are you home alone, Byeo Ri?

No.

Mr. Lee's sleeping.

Byeo Ri.

You must be so sad that your dad left.

Mrs. Lee.

How did you know that my dad left?

I dropped by the side dish factory and heard from Dae Ro.

Are you all right, Byeo Ri?

Yes.

Dad said he'll come to Dae Ro's wedding.

All right.

How reliable are you?

I...

wanted to take care of your dad until the end,

but I didn't know he'd leave without saying a word.

Is my dad...

so sick to the extent that he can't be treated at a hospital?

So...

is he going to die?

No, he won't.

Why would he die?

Your dad was really sick in the past,

but he got better, didn't he?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Byeo Ri.

Byeo Ri, are you all right?

Did you know about this, Ah Ri?

Dad is really unwell.

Did you keep this from me on purpose?

Dad couldn't eat properly,

suffered stomachache, and motion sickness.

He was taking pills...

because he had cancer and was in pain.

I'm sorry, Byeo Ri.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier.

Ah Ri.

I didn't even say goodbye to him.

He won't pass away like how Mom did, will he?

Of course, he won't.

Your dad will surely come to Dae Ro's wedding to see you.

What's going on?

When did you get here, Hae Shim?

Just now.

Dad, let's go to our house and have dinner.

What?

Why would I go to your house and have dinner suddenly?

Joong Han wanted me to get you as we'll be having dinner...

with our sons-in-law.

I should go and have dinner with my grandsons-in-law.

Byeo Ri, you should come with us too.

No.

I want to stay home.

I'll make sure she has dinner, so don't worry.

- Let's eat. - Right.

Let me see.

It's delicious.

As you said, Father, your boiled chicken is the best.

Father, this soup tastes so good.

Could you tell me the recipe?

I'll decide after seeing how you treat Bo Ra.

Remember that I told you I'm looking into the venue for my small wedding?
