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

You're here.

How did you come here at this hour?

I had work outside the office, so I got off work early.

But what were you talking about?

What?

That's...

Bo Ra saw her biological father?

Well,

he came back not long ago from the States.

He called me first.

Mom opposed to it, but I met him.

Bo Ra, will you go inside the house?

I need to talk to your dad.

What?

All right.

Is...

this the reason why you looked so glum these days?

I'm sorry, Joong Han.

I should've told you first.

When did he come back?

He'd been out of touch for years.

But why all of a sudden?

Did he come back for good?

What?

I don't know the details either.

He must've called Bo Ra to meet him a few days ago.

So I told her not to meet him.

You said Bo Ra doesn't know about her biological father.

Of course,

she wants to see him.

You must be very upset.

What?

Yes.

You look like you're about to drop.

I can't help it.

I better prepare something especially delicious today for you.

You are the only one who understands me.

Thank you, honey.

No.

Moreover,

I'm sorry.

Recharge.

Recharge.

This isn't something you should be sorry about.

- Oh, my. Welcome. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello, welcome.

We wanted to invite you to dinner.

Thank you for inviting us instead.

You served me precious tea last time,

so of course, we should treat you this time.

But where is your son?

Oh, he was too busy to join us.

I see.

This is for you. I couldn't come empty-handed.

You shouldn't have. They're beautiful.

Thank you.

Long time no see.

- Yes, hello. - Hi.

Uncle, do you know her too?

Of course, a long time ago...

A long time ago, she accompanied me to a meal.

She saw him then.

Then should we go and eat?

- Shall we? - Sure.

Come on in.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I thought CEO Na and my uncle have met for business.

But I didn't know you were close with him too.

Well, that's...

They're not close, but...

Goodness, your glass is empty.

Let me pour you a glass.

There.

I'll pour you one as you've worked so hard for the plan.

Thank you.

I really think "Marketaurant" will be a huge hit.

Don't you agree?

Did you come up with the show "Marketaurant," Sun Han?

Yes. But how do you know about it?

At Plus Market,

I got a report that they'll do a follow-up shot of the cast.

I should cooperate fully as it's CEO Na and Sun Han's work.

My goodness, thank you.

Things seem to work out without hesitation.

Ah Ri.

I got a prize.

What?

What prize?

"First place in the school essay contest"?

Yes, it's a children's poem.

Title, "Mother Whom I Miss."

"Like the clouds I can't reach even if I extend my hand,"

"like the wind I can't hold even if I grasp at it..."

I showed Mrs. Lee earlier.

She praised me for being a good writer as I take after you.

But, Ah Ri,

are you crying too?

I'm not crying.

Kids, come on down. Dinner's ready!

- Let's go. - Okay.

Honey.

I made it especially to please your appetite.

Why are you picking at it?

You should eat up as I made it for you.

I'm eating. It's delicious.

You too, Bo Ra.

You should eat up as I put my heart and soul into it.

Okay.

By the way, Ah Ri, the director allowed the shoot.

He allowed it with good grace when I told him you're the writer.

He looked after Bo Ra too.

He's so gentle and nice. He's such a good person.

It must've gone down the wrong pipe.

Here. Drink some water.

Can you leave? I'm not bothered to do anything.

Something happened with you and Mom, right?

Even during dinner, it felt cold as Siberian fields.

Something happened between you two, right?

Why did you ask me how I felt when I met my biological mom?

By any chance, did your biological father call you?

Did he?

Spill it out, will you?

I'm more experienced in things like that.

What? Is it true?

Did he seriously call you?

Yes.

I met him.

What? You met him?

Yes.

But earlier, I got into an argument with Mom...

at the flower shop for meeting him,

and Dad heard it all.

Dad heard it?

But doesn't your biological dad live in the States?

Did he come to Korea?

He came due to work.

I think he'll stay here for good.

I thought he didn't contact you ever since he went to the States...

when you were five.

He got remarried,

and Mom has a new family too,

so he said it wasn't easy for him to reach out.

After seeing his face,

I felt nice to see him and awkward at the same time.

It was just so complicated.

I can guess how that would've felt.

But your biological dad got married too?

Yes.

Apparently, his wife is a non-executive director of DBS.

She's so full of herself.

She thought he was cheating on her with me,

so she followed him all the way to the restaurant.

When did you meet him though?

Last night.

You said you're meeting the director of Plus Market last night.

That director is my biological dad.

What?

How could he...

Does Dad know about this?

He doesn't.

That's why Mom looked so concerned.

Dad would feel uncomfortable if he finds out.

Just turn a blind eye for now.

I better move out before the storm comes.

What an ungrateful wench.

Get out!

Shoot!

These are the materials for the "Marketaurant" pre-meeting.

Out of risotto nerd with truffle and seafood paella with saffron,

which one seems better?

That's a difficult question.

The key to the two dishes is truffle and saffron.

Truffle is the top three delicacies in the world.

It has antioxidants and anti-cancer effects.

Saffron is the most costly spice in the world.

It's excellent for women's diseases and depression.

It's harder to decide after hearing your explanation.

Right.

This is such a difficult problem.

We need to make a decision, so we can go home.

I think the risotto nero will be nice.

Anti-aging and preventing cancers...

are interests and homework of man-kind.

- Go home. - Good night.

But you know,

I've been thinking that you...

look familiar.

Is that so?

By any chance,

were you in the movie, "Youth of Tomorrow"?

Oh, my.

You saw that movie?

Of course, I did!

You are her!

You're the one that appeared out of nowhere then vanished,

the high-teen star, Lee Ji Ran, aren't you?

You were really popular back then.

I'm such a big fan.

I wasn't a high-teen star.

But yes, I am the Lee Ji Ran.
