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

How are you related to Byeo Ri?

Why are you so persistent when I said we're not related?

Then why would you keep meeting Byeo Ri when you're not?

You even told her at her school that you'd buy her a hamburger.

I met her at a flower shop by chance,

and she was bubbly and cute,

so I just bought her some treats. Is that a problem?

Are you saying you saw her by coincidence?

Do you expect me to believe that?

Whether you believe me or not is your problem.

I only told you the truth.

Also, you told me yourself that Byeo Ri's mom's dead.

That's why it's sadder and unfortunate.

So I can't help but be nice to her!

And what is this fuss?

Liar.

Goodness me, you really don't trust people.

Anyway, if you ever bother me again,

I'm going to use force on you!

What? Why would she buy a razor?

What is it?

Where are you? We need to meet immediately.

Right now?

I'll call you back soon.

What? I lost her.

Gosh, that Vampiress is no help!

- Byeo Ri. - Ma'am!

- Were you waiting for me? - Yes.

I was waiting for you as Chun Hyang awaits Mong Ryong.

Should we go grab hamburgers we couldn't get last time?

Sounds great!

What's with the long face?

Well, actually, Ah Ri told me to call her if I see you.

What?

Geez, that troublesome girl.

Pardon?

But did something happen between you and my sister?

Actually, she came to cast me for a show...

when I used to live in the country.

I kicked her out by splashing cold water on her.

She's been out to get me since then.

So that's what happened.

I wouldn't have done that if I knew she was your sister.

Anyway, she'd been treating me...

as Chun Hyang does to Mr. Byeon ever since.

So can we keep us meeting a secret from your sister?

A secret?

Don't you want to see me?

I want to.

Okay. I won't tell Ah Ri.

Let's go and have those hamburgers.

Goodness, you're adorable.

You're the most adorable in the world.

You cutie! You're the cutest!

Let's go!

Here. Have this.

How is it?

It's delicious.

- You should try it too. - I'm fine.

I feel so full right now.

Do you like it as you moved in to your sister's house?

Yes, I like the blanket, tasty food, flowers, and everything.

No one is bullying you?

No. Her parents and sister are all nice to me.

I want to stay at their house, but I can only stay for a month.

Why is that?

Ah Ri got us a studio,

and we can only move in a month from now.

So her dad let us stay until then.

Goodness gracious.

But I feel so bad for Ah Ri,

so I don't think I can continue seeing you in secret.

I agree. It's not good to do so.

If something happens, you have to tell me right away.

Then can you tell me your phone number?

I text you.

My phone? I don't own one.

I carry my address around.

You should write me a letter here.

Then I'll rush to your side.

A letter?

Is this where you live?

Yes. Write me a letter whenever you feel lonely,

sad, hungry, and when you want to ride a swing.

When you want to go to the bathroom, you should go by yourself then.

Okay.

Eat up. Eat as much as you want.

Take your time and have a lot of it.

That's it.

Hey, Bo Ra.

Thanks to your article, the malicious comments died down.

Really? I'm glad.

But what did you do about them? I thought you are going to sue them.

I just let them off with a warning.

But if they do it again, I'm going to sue them.

What do they mean by a sponsor? Who do they think I am?

What horrible people.

Right.

You don't need to show mercy to people like them.

But, Jun Soo, about the recipe battle show.

Yes, what about it?

Can't you appear on that show?

If both of us appear on it, it'd prove that scandal was wrong.

What?

I even released an explanatory article.

Do I have to prove my innocence by appearing on the show?

The show has a great concept.

It'd help to promote your company.

No, it's fine. Let's stop talking about that.

Don't be that way. Please give it another thought.

What? You cast the "Wonky Show" team?

Yes, the CEO had an outgoing personality.

Is that so?

Did he agree right away when you asked him to be on the show?

Well, I think they have some history with CEO Na Jun Soo.

At first, he didn't seem too enthusiastic.

When I told him he'll be competing with CEO Na, he accepted right away.

Really?

What about CEO Na? Will he be a cast?

Bo Ra reassured me that she'd cast him.

So wait a bit longer.

Ms. Shin!

Do you know how many times you've asked me to wait?

I shouldn't wait.

I better call Kim Bo Ra and check how it's going.

Your office is so modern and nice as it's a start-up business.

I didn't expect you'd really come.

I felt devastated when you quit medical school.

It isn't easy to go to a medical school in the States.

Come on, that's all in the past.

But after seeing your office today, I think you made the right decision.

People need to do what they're good at to succeed.

I'm so proud of you.

You're not here to ask me for a favor, are you?

Pardon?

Well...

Do you have any money you can finance?

Money?

Yes.

The production isn't doing so well.

The writer of the "Natural Man Lives" quit,

and the ratings dropped, so it's on the verge of being cut off.

Don't tell me you've been buying stock again.

You brat. I didn't.

I don't have any money to spare though.

We had to extend the warehouse,

so I invested all the floating money I had.

You'd be well aware of this as you're a CEO too.

What?

But still, how can you not have any free cash?

Let's go have lunch. What would you like?

Forget it. I lost my appetite. I'm leaving.

Hello, I'm Kim Bo Ra.

Nice to meet you. I'm Producer Um Sun Han.

Oh, my. Bo Ra.

You look so much better on TV.

- Excuse me? - Well,

it's important to look good on TV when you're in showbiz.

Sure.

I heard a lot about you from Ms. Shin,

so you seem familiar even though I've never met you.

Oh, my. She told you about me?

What was it about?

Blood...

Blood?

What was that?

I told her you're a producer who can shoot...

and edit the show that would satisfy her.

Isn't that right, Ms. Kim?

Did you?

Well, I think so.

Anyway, I'll ask you straightforwardly.

According to Ms. Shin, you promised to cast CEO Na.

Is that really possible?

That's...

If I can get Jun Soo on the show,

then you'll definitely have me as the host?

Before that,

the scandal between you and Na Jun Soo...

You really aren't dating?

No. We've just been good friends since we were kids.

Is that so?

Well, you two did have a scandal,

so we could get a lot of attention if you came on together.

We could call it a type of noise marketing.

So long as you'll have me as the host,

I'll get Jun Soo on the show.

We can't wait forever.

You have until the end of this week. Okay?

Okay.

Ms. Shin. When are you going to finish writing up the plans?

We need to send it to the network.

I'll pull an all-nighter and send it to you in the morning.

They were the most popular guests on the "Wonky Show."

Grandma Eok Shim and Grandpa Maeng Soo.

We've prepared an episode where Maeng Soo can gain back his pride.

Can we have your thoughts?

What thoughts?

Let's just get on with it.

I'm going to take this old woman down a peg.
