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

Jae Soo.

Long time no see.

Do you recognize me?

Who are you?

I need to talk to Jae Soo.

Yes, Mr. Kang. We're almost there.

Ms. Shin.

I'm sorry, but we'd have to meet Byeo Ri another day.

What? Why?

Someone came over to the factory unannounced.

Then could I take Byeo Ri to Grandpa's house tomorrow?

Is that okay?

Your grandpa knows everything now anyway.

He asked me to bring Byeo Ri over.

All right. See you tomorrow then.

Jun Soo, I think we better just go and buy hanbok.

Why?

Someone came to their factory all of a sudden.

Byeo Ri, let's go to Grandpa's house tomorrow.

That's all right with you, right?

I wanted to see Ms. Han today.

All right.

I told you never to show yourself in front of Ji Ran again.

You haven't changed a bit.

You seduced a woman who has a husband...

and ripped her off.

What do you think you're doing?

I paid back the money I owed Ji Ran already.

What are you going to do by stirring her up...

when she barely got over you and married another man?

Do you want to break their marriage and ruin Ji Ran's life?

I indeed met her a few times,

but I didn't do anything to be criticized about.

You got photographed...

holding Ji Ran in your arms while disguised as an old lady.

How dare you deny it?

It's a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

Because of you, Ji Ran ran away on the day of her engagement party.

You ruined everything.

Ji Ran...

had no plans of marrying that man, but you forced her to!

How long are you going to control her life?

Shut your mouth.

If it weren't for you,

she would've been living happily ever after.

If you have taken the money I offered you...

and disappeared quietly, it would've changed your life.

But you daringly threw that money.

That's why you hampered my shows by hiring thugs.

Because of that, I had to leave my acting career.

You brought that on yourself.

If you see my daughter again, it won't end like this.

You survived by pure luck.

Shouldn't you try to cherish it?

Mom.

My birth dad called Dad earlier.

So I declined the call and blocked his number right away.

What?

Why did he call?

I'm not sure.

It might be because I sent the video as evidence.

He said he'd tell everything about Byeo Ri's dad to Dad.

If your dad finds out now, he'd go to Grandpa's...

and try to throw them out regardless of it being the holiday.

He's not going to come on the Lunar New Year's Day, would he?

I hope so.

But not only that,

wouldn't your grandpa say something to your dad when he comes tomorrow?

I think Mr. Kang asked Grandpa to keep it a secret.

Really?

Anyway, you must be exhausted. Go and rest.

I'll finish up here.

No, I'll help you.

Then could you clean the table? I'll do the dishes.

The rubber gloves are ripped.

Is it? I'll quickly go buy them then.

What are you doing here?

Director Shin wouldn't pick up, so I came to see him.

He's home, isn't he?

Why are you trying to see my dad?

There's something he must know.

Are you here to tell him about Byeo Ri's dad?

I warned you, didn't I?

But you gave the video you filmed to Dae Ro.

You should've stopped when I told you so.

I clearly told Ma Chung Goo...

not to go near Byeo Ri as soon as I parted with you.

Do you expect me to believe that?

I swear on my mother's grave that it's true.

Did you not worry about me at all?

It's not too late to apologize to them...

and pay the price for your sins.

You keep getting the wrong idea about me.

There's no price to pay as I didn't commit any sin.

Are you going to put this up until the end?

Just call Director Shin for me.

I need to tell him in person.

Please go back home, will you?

Byeo Ri's dad told me he'd tell Dad himself!

That doesn't concern me.

I must see Director Shin.

This is my last wish.

If you disappoint me any more than now,

I'm going to erase the fact that my biological father exists.

So please stop.

If that's what you want, I'll back down and go back today.

But Bo Ra,

don't forget that I'm your biological dad.

- We're home! - We're back!

We're home.

What took you so long?

These are ingredients for pancakes. You need to make all of them.

All of them?

We need to grill the sanjeok in the refrigerator too.

Get a move on, will you?

I need to rest as I'm tired from preparing the ingredients.

I'm so tired.

My wrists hurt so much.

Are you making all these by yourself?

What about Mom?

Mom went to her room saying she was exhausted.

I'll help you.

Ah Ri, Jun Soo!

How do I look?

Wow, you look beautiful.

Even hanbok suit you, Byeo Ri.

Isn't this lucky bag cute?

It is. If you get a money gift tomorrow, keep it safe in there.

- Will I get gift money too? - Of course.

How exciting!

Goodness me.

I can smell the pancakes from here.

Makgeolli goes well with pancakes.

Geez, it hasn't been that long since you had the surgery!

I'll just have one drink.

Didn't we get any as a present?

We didn't!

Then I'll get Ah Ri to get one.

- Hey... - Honey.

I smell something fishy.

Why would Ah Ri so obedient to what you say?

She washed the dishes and made coffee for you without a complaint.

Did you seize her weakness?

Fess up already.

Gosh, it's supposed to be a secret.

To keep bossing Ah Ri around,

you mustn’t tell Byeo Ri that you saw this. All right?

- Never. - All right.

Now, look.

- Here. - You must've been surprised.

Terrible comments about fake Eok Shim...

killing real Eok Shim came up a few days ago.

- So I'm... - What is he saying?

Murderer?

That's not the point!

The point is that this man is Ms. Han Eok Shim!

Oh, my goodness.

He went on the show while disguised as a woman?

He could be sued for this!

None of us knew either.

Even Producer Um and Ms. Shin.

The woman next door said she's a fan of Ms. Han.

What? Director Lee Ji Ran is a fan?

That fancy madam?

She said so herself.

But what's this got to do with Ah Ri?

Byeo Ri must've liked Ms. Han a lot.

She did. She told me she's her friend,

and I saw her video calling her in her room.

So Ah Ri was worried that Byeo Ri would be shocked by the news.

She made sure that I never tell Byeo Ri.

How long will she stop her from watching this at this time and age?

Anyway, just pretend you don't know.

That's that. Is your plan of kicking out Ah Ri working?

Gosh, Jun Soo is messing everything up!

He's so protective of her.

I only have three weeks left to give Producer Um what she wants.

We need to work hard!

Fine.

Mom, did you already finish doing the dishes?

What took you so long?

My birth father came by the house.

He wanted to see Dad.

What?

Is he here to tell Dad?

Yes. I begged him to go away.

Why is he becoming nastier by the day?

Why are you so surprised?

You said you were taking a nap.

Why are you already awake? You should sleep more.

Are you two keeping a secret from me?

- No. - It's time for dinner.

No. I had too many pieces of pancake, so I'm not hungry.

Let's have a late dinner.

Mom, where were you?

I went to see Han Jae Soo.

What did you say to him?

I warned him that if he saw you again,

it wouldn't end with words.
