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

It's him.

It's Han Jae Soo.

What a strange, convenient world.

Where did they go?

It can't be.

I must be wrong.

Han Jae Soo couldn't be alive.

Yes, honey?

Where are you?

They called, asking why the flower basket isn't coming.

I'm almost there.

All right.

- Hae Shim, it's me. - Welcome.

Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Noh said she was going to the flower shop,

so I came along.

Really? Good.

Is Bo Ra home?

She is. She's in her room.

Go ask Bo Ra for some snacks.

Okay.

When I walk around with Byeo Ri,

people keep asking if I had a child in my late years.

It's horribly embarrassing.

At least people don't call you "grandma."

Oh, my. I don't look like a grandmother at all!

I could be her older sister!

Right. Thanks for the food you sent us over the holidays.

You shouldn't have sent so much.

I just make a lot at once.

Oh, and we enjoyed the dumplings you sent us as well.

I heard Joong Han made them himself.

- They were good. - Really?

That's good to hear.

Did you see the new episode of "Wonky Show?"

Byeo Ri's friend, Ms. Han, was really...

Did you see it too?

I did. I was shocked!

How could the old lady be a man?

I heard he's going to see his daughter.

Byeo Ri and she were close.

They're not somehow related, are they?

Geum Sook, the truth is...

Well, you'll find out sooner or later.

He's actually Byeo Ri's dad.

What?

Oh, my goodness. I thought it couldn't be!

You said Byeo Ri's dad was dead.

I thought so too.

Oh, gosh. Does your husband know?

Not yet.

Byeo Ri's dad said he'd come and tell him in person.

Wow. If your husband finds out, he might pass out from anger.

I'm back.

Oh, Mrs. Noh. I didn't know you were here.

- Oh, hello. - Hi.

Thanks for making the delivery.

No worries.

I'll be tidying up the house.

Tell me if there are any more deliveries you need to make.

Okay. Thanks.

- Enjoy your talk. - Thank you.

Isn't this Father's?

Here.

Byeo Ri. How did it feel to meet your dad yesterday?

I felt both happy and sad.

It broke my heart as well.

Dad looked like he had been through a lot of pain.

I see. I understand.

When I met my birth father,

it felt complicated too.

I felt good,

but I also wondered why it took me so long to meet my birth father.

It made me sad.

Right.

But Dad asked me to move in with him, and I don't know what to do.

Why? Don't you want to live with him?

It's not that.

I don't want to be apart from Ah Ri.

I see.

But wouldn't your father want to see you every day...

after being apart from you for so long?

I guess so.

You don't need to hurry, Byeo Ri.

Think it over.

I don't know this number.

Hello?

Byeo Ri, it's me, Dad.

Oh. Did you get a phone?

I did. You're the first person I'm calling with my new phone.

Did you sleep well last night?

No. I went to sleep late.

Realizing that I couldn't see Ms. Han anymore...

kept making me think of her.

I see.

What are you doing now, Byeo Ri?

I came to the flower shop with Mrs. Noh,

and I'm talking to Bo Ra now.

Is that so?

This is my number, so save it, okay?

Okay, I will.

Byeo Ri is with Bo Ra.

Really?

Dad, we should go see Director Shin soon.

Right.

Dae Ro, the sanitation department called. They're coming to check us.

- Today? - Yes.

I think we need to sterilize the cooking area again.

Dad, I guess we need to push back going to see Director Shin.

You're right. Let's start cleaning.

Why didn't you call?

You left your scarf at our place.

I brought it back.

What? Oh, that's right.

My neck felt bare.

I didn't even realize I left it there.

Oh, since you're here, why don't you have some tea?

- Oh, of course. Let me prepare it. - Will you?

You should have sent Bo Ra. You didn't need to come yourself.

It's just an excuse to see you one more time.

Right.

Also, I need to tell you something.

Really? You do?

What is it? Tell me.

The truth is, I found out that Dae Ro...

is Byeo Ri's father's stepson a little while ago.

Oh. Is that how they're related?

When I went to make a delivery earlier today,

I saw Dae Ro on the street.

He was walking with a man.

Did you have any guests over at this house?

Guests?

No.

Then did Dae Ro tell you anything about his stepdad?

No, not really.

I see.

Father, to be honest,

the fact that Bo Ra is growing closer to Dae Ro...

makes me uncomfortable.

That's why I'm asking you,

even though I know that Dae Ro is good to you,

can you ask Dae Ro to leave this house?

I see.

I understand that you feel uncomfortable around Dae Ro...

with how you were tangled with his stepdad.

But how could I kick someone out to the curb all of a sudden?

I can't do that.

I see.

I understand.

Honey.

Where did you go while cleaning the house?

Father left his scarf here, so I brought it to him.

What?

You could have asked Bo Ra. Why did you go yourself?

Also, you should have told me you were going. Why didn't you?

What's wrong?

It's not like I can't go there.

That's not what I meant.

But did something happen when you were at Father's?

No.

I'm sorry.

Ever since I heard that Dae Ro is Han Jae Soo's stepson,

it's put me on edge and I keep seeing things that aren't there.

What? What are you talking about?

Oh, well...

I saw Dae Ro when I was making the delivery earlier.

He was walking with a man that looks just like Han Jae Soo.

So I asked Father.

It seems it wasn't true.

Of course, a dead man wouldn't come back from the grave.

DBS called.

They want us to scrap the Lunar New Year's special...

and prepare a new episode for the spring special.

What? A spring special?

Everything we prepared for the Lunar New Year was wasted.

We even finished the script.

Ms. Shin, write up the new plans,

and form a list for the cast and work out the specifics.

We're having a meeting tomorrow morning.

What?

How would I do all that in one day?

DBS wants it quickly. What can we do?

Are you even looking for a new writer?

I told you I was leaving after the Lunar New Year's special.

I'm working on it.

So just keep...

It's been forever since you told me you were looking for someone.

Do your best while you're still here.

Ms. Shin, why are you still here?

Sir, Ms. Shin has a ton of work to do.

She can't leave.

She can work from home.

There's something she needs to take care of at home.

Oh, really?

Of course. A writer is a freelancer.

Fine, you can work from home today.

Send me everything by dawn.

I'm a hopeless romantic

I'm back.

Mrs. Noh, what's all this?

What do you mean? They're blankets and curtains.
