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

- Excuse me. - I'm sorry.

Aren't you Ms. Han Eok Shim?

Don't you remember me?

I went to Gurye to see you.

You splashed me with water and stuff!

What nonsense is that? I've never done that to anyone.

How did you get here?

Did you come here...

after seeing the death certificate I left at your house?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Let go of me. Let me go!

This is near Byeo Ri's school. Aren't you here to see her?

What in the world are you saying?

I had business to take care of in Seoul.

Let go, will you?

Gosh, please tell me honestly!

I said let go!

Why are you so stubborn?

Don't pick a fight with me and go on your way.

Before I scold you so hard to make you poop your pants!

- Move! - Oh, my gosh.

Ah Ri!

Did you meet a lady in a pink sweater?

Yes, she said she'd buy me a hamburger.

But since you were coming...

She'd play innocent when she came to see you?

But do you know her too?

Yes.

I saw her in the country as I had to cast her for a show.

If you see her next time, call me immediately.

I have something to check.

Okay.

But are we really going to your house now?

Ma'am!

Oh, my, Byeo Ri! Goodness, welcome!

I really wanted to come to your flower shop.

Right.

- You're here. - Yes.

Hey, I thought that kid went home.

Well, that's...

Mom, we'll go upstairs first.

Oh, sure.

Hey, she's the kid of Ah Ri's friend, right?

My goodness, did she leave her here again?

Actually, I didn't know how to bring this up, but...

What is it? Tell me.

Not long ago, Ah Ri's biological mom died of a heart attack suddenly.

So Ah Ri brought her daughter here.

What?

Then that kid is Ah Ri's mom's daughter?

Oh, my goodness.

What did Joong Han say?

Don't get me started.

We went through a lot because of that.

Gosh, that's why you looked so haggard.

Goodness me.

Wow, it's your room!

Compared to the inn, this is a palace!

Even the blanket smells nice.

Right.

It's calm before the storm until Dad comes home, but it is still nice.

Ah Ri, can I go to the flower shop? I want to help your mom.

Sure.

I have to set another date for the meeting.

Geez, how will I face Damage Compensation?

If I haven't asked him for money for tenosynovitis.

Whatever. I should set the date first.

Let see, Secretary Kim's number was...

Hello?

Hi, I'm Screenwriter Shin Ah Ri.

I'm really sorry about last time.

When will be a good time for CEO Na?

We set the time for the meeting with Ms. Shin Ah Ri tomorrow.

Okay.

Jun Soo, did you get a call from Ms. Shin?

Yes, we set the date again.

I'm only meeting her again as it's a favor from you.

Thank you, Jun Soo.

Ma'am, did you deliver the flowers?

Yes.

Why is the floor so clean?

Did you clean it up, Byeo Ri?

Yes, I swiped everything up.

Gosh, how kind you are! I should reward you.

What would you like?

It's fine. You bought me a coat and made abalone porridge for me.

You were so nice to me.

How can you have such a good heart?

I'm back.

You're early?

I rushed back as I heard Byeo Ri was coming.

- Where's Ah Ri? - She's in her room.

Okay.

Joong Han?

Oh, I have an appointment with the manager of a vendor,

so I'll be home after dinner.

Is that so? You didn't tell me you had plans in the morning.

Oh, it just suddenly happened.

All right. See you soon.

Hey, I heard you decided to meet Jun Soo.

That's fast.

This is your last chance.

Jun Soo only agreed to see you because of me.

He's a very thorough person, you know.

Prepare it well and make amends.

All right.

But what's his type?

What about his type?

Don't you get it since he liked me?

What? I shouldn't have asked.

Dad will be home late, so we're ordering Chinese.

What do you want?

Is it on you?

I'll have yangjangpi and kaoliang liquor.

Don't cross the line.

To celebrate coming back home, will you go drunkard with Dad?

What? You asked me first.

By the way,

you haven't forgotten our deal, have you?

Start cleaning the bathroom from today!

For goodness' sake, I will. Who said I won't?

Hey, why is the bathroom so dirty when you use it alone?

- Where's mine? - Here's your jjampong.

I wanted some soup.

Will you do this?

We ordered a bit of everything, so we can share it!

Why are you fighting over food when you're all grown up?

You'd look like fools in front of Byeo Ri. Right?

Right.

It would've been nice to have dinner with your dad.

Oh, right. He saved me last night...

when I was about to be robbed by bad girls...

near the convenience store.

Really? You didn't get hurt, did you?

He even applied ointment on my face and palms...

and bandaged it. He was so cool.

That must be the reason why he suddenly changed his mind.

Mom, I'll make breakfast for Byeo Ri for the month.

You will?

Dad will have to make breakfast twice.

I'll have it with Byeo Ri separately.

Why go that far?

I think that would make things a lot more comfortable for Dad.

All right. You're so considerate to have thought about that.

Honey, about Hae Shim.

Remember that I told you Ah Ri brought over a friend's kid?

Well,

it turns out she's Ah Ri's half-sister.

After her biological mom died, Ah Ri took her under her wings.

What?

She brought a kid that her mother had with another man?

Yes.

Anyway, they have the same mother.

Isn't it ridiculous? Would you have accepted that?

Are you crazy? I would've kicked both of them out.

But Hae Shim's husband let them stay for the month...

until they find a house to live in. Goodness gracious.

- My gosh, what a great man. - Right.

Are you back?

We're home, Dad.

Okay.

- Are you home now, Dad? - Yes.

Oh, honey, you're not that late.

- Have you had dinner? - Yes, I have.

We'll be upstairs.

Get some rest.

Goodnight.

Dad, I decided to meet the director.

Is that so?

Why?

Didn't you say you weren't going to?

Do you have to meet him?

He texted me again, and it feels awkward to keep turning him down.

Okay. Good.

It's not nice to keep rejecting someone's kindness.

Have a good time.

Okay.

Why are you beating up the dough?

Oh, you're here.

I feel like my chest is on fire, so I came for a glass of water.

Are you stressed about something?

It's nothing.

How come you're awake like an owl?

I couldn't sleep after quitting the delivery service.

I'm going to make sujebi for breakfast.

This is because of that girl, isn't it?

What? No, it's not.

Don't lie. I can see right through you.

It's plain as day.

You brought her lunch, but you were dumped,

and she sided with the CEO, so you're angry now.

You're in the prime of your life. How come you're hungover this?

If you want to win over someone's heart,

you need to stick by them like sesame seeds sticking to a wet bowl.

Do you get it?

Yes.

How much does it cost to get a room in Seoul?

Even for a studio apartment,

you'll need about 10,000 dollars for a deposit,

and 500 to 600 dollars for each month's rent.
