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

Liver cancer?

Is it possible for him to receive surgery or chemotherapy?

The cancer had spread to surrounding organs already.

So it won't be possible presently.

Are you saying there's nothing you could do?

No. I'm sorry.

We injected analgesic, so you can go when he wakes up.

Poor Byeo Ri.

She just met her dad.

How could this happen?

I think his liver cancer recurred.

If it's in the terminal stages,

it would've been terribly painful.

Where am I?

Are you all right?

You passed out in front of the house,

so we brought you to the hospital.

I see.

Ms. Shin, CEO Na.

I went to the mountains today. I must've been tired.

I have to go home and get dinner ready.

How will you make dinner in this state?

You should get some rest.

No, I'm fine.

I've had many things on my mind lately,

so I think I've been drained.

We heard everything from the doctor.

Heard what?

We heard you were diagnosed...

with terminal liver cancer.

Does your family know?

What about Byeo Ri?

No one knows yet.

Can I ask you a favor?

Please don't tell anyone about this for a while.

What are you trying to do?

After getting diagnosed with liver cancer,

I miraculously survived while living in the woods.

I dug up all the medicinal herbs for liver in the woods again.

Don't worry.

Still, shouldn't you tell Dae Ro?

I didn't do him any good. I'm a nuisance to him.

I don't want to put him out anymore.

He almost got Wonky Box Lunch taken away because of me.

He went through all sorts of hardships.

I don't want him to suffer anymore.

I beg you.

- We're home. - We're back.

Welcome home.

Didn't Dad come with you guys?

I saw Dad's car parked outside.

Did he not come home?

No, I thought he's coming from the side dish factory.

Did he leave his car here?

The sun sets earlier in the woods.

He wouldn't be digging up greens until now.

He'd be okay, won't he?

I better call him.

- Dad. - Hey, Dae Ro.

Where are you?

I'm on my way home.

Didn't you take your car today?

No. It's been a while since I started driving again,

so I left it as I felt anxious about driving a long distance.

I see.

When will you be here?

I'm almost there.

Okay. Get back safely.

Where is he?

He'll be arriving soon.

Okay.

Ah Ri said she'd come to see me tonight.

What's taking her so long?

She must be still at work.

You must be starving, Mr. Lee.

I'll prepare dinner quickly.

- Okay. - Right.

How long have you known about your illness?

It hasn't been that long.

Did you only get it checked out at that hospital?

Yes.

A person I know also got diagnosed...

with terminal liver cancer from three different hospitals.

They said getting surgery was useless too.

But she insisted on getting the surgery,

so they opened her up.

And it turned out to be liver stones, not cancer.

It's true.

That person is still alive and well.

It could be a misdiagnosis,

so let's try a few more hospitals. Please.

Through a doctor I know,

I'll look into doctors that specialize in liver cancer.

That's not necessary.

I can fix my own disease.

Mr. Han.

I don't think you should be stubborn for Byeo Ri's sake.

I passed out because I tossed and turned all night thinking...

and went to the mountains too.

So don't worry about it.

I'm really fine.

You dropped this earlier, so I grabbed it.

Thank you.

By the way, didn't you say you came to see Byeo Ri?

Yes, I did.

But I didn't know Ah Ri would be here.

I'll come back next time.

All right.

Thank you for today. Drive safely.

Okay. See you.

Why did you come to see Byeo Ri?

Well, I just came because I missed Byeo Ri.

You should go inside.

I'm home.

- Goodness. - Dad!

Byeo Ri.

Ah Ri's here too.

How did you two end up coming together?

We ran into each other while coming home.

Hello, Grandpa.

Hello. Welcome. You came too.

Dad.

Are these the greens you dug up at the mountain?

Yes, they're nice and fresh.

Aren't you hungry?

Dinner's almost ready, so let's eat.

I was going to come early and make dinner, but I ran late.

We can feast on the greens tomorrow.

Ms. Shin, although it's not much, you should eat up.

Okay. Thank you.

I heard you started working again with "Here Comes Bo Ra!"

Bo Ra told me.

Yes, thanks to her, I could return to work faster.

But Dae Ro, you've been wounded quite heavily.

I'm all right.

Joong Han did this to Dae Ro, didn't he?

Why would he use violence? He could've talked it out.

Did Mr. Shin beat you up?

No, he didn't.

Have some more of this.

Byeo Ri, although it's a little late,

this is your birthday present.

Wow!

It's a bag full of books.

This bag is so pretty.

I wanted to read new books as I read the ones I had.

Did you?

Do you like being here with your dad?

Yes, we were supposed to go on a drive today.

But we pushed it back because you were coming.

It'd be nice to go on a drive with your dad.

How's Mrs. Lee doing?

She's doing great.

If Mr. Shin gets along with my dad,

I could go to your house more often.

I could also go to the flower shop and visit Mrs. Lee.

I heard Grandpa will be living here from now on.

Mom will visit often because of that.

Really?

I could see Mrs. Lee a lot then.

Ah Ri.

Are you really not seeing Jun Soo?

Well, we don't have any reason to see each other anymore.

I miss my brother-in-law.

You should stop calling him that.

He's not your brother-in-law anymore.

What should I call him then?

You won't be seeing him either, so don't call him anything.

If Jun Soo ever calls you, don't meet him or anything.

How could I not meet him when he calls?

I like Jun Soo.

You shouldn't see him for my sake.

So you should listen to me.

"Marketaurant" was taken by DBS in the end.

Is your company going down now?

Why would you say such a thing?

I'll come up with a new program and start broadcasting again.

Do you have anything in mind?

Ah Ri was really good at coming up with content.

Why would you bring Ah Ri up all of a sudden?

Don't even think about bringing Ah Ri ever.

- I'm back. - Hey. Did you have dinner?

I'm not hungry. I'm going inside.

He came home early.

It doesn't look like he went to Ah Ri's house, right?

Talking to her and bribing her with clothes was worth it.

Ah Ri was terrible as a daughter-in-law,

but as a writer, she's too good to lose.

Don't be ridiculous!

Don't even think about it.

Jun Soo.

What is it?

You know,

my company is in crisis right now.

Even "Marketaurant" was stolen from us.

So? Are you going to ask for my help again?

I clearly said I can't lend you any support anymore.

I'm not asking you to help without anything in return.

We're planning a new show,

and I think we'll need Ah Ri's help.
