BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, LOCATIONS AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

This is an annual event.

Why are there so many applicants this year?

The prizes are good.

PREVIOUSLY

What? Is it someone you know?

Ji-yul and Ha-yul.

Happiness is all about sharing.

I can't believe you're living so well.

We have decided to perform a musical called Red Shoes.

We'll hold a simple audition to pick the main role.

-Congratulations! -Ji-yul, congratulations.

Who ordered this?

Are you trying to kill her?

Didn't you say Ji-yul has a severe peanut allergy?

How could she lie like that to let her girl audition again?

This is Assistant Manager Jang Mi-ho from DGB Bank.

It's so good to hear from you.

What is this?

How I feel.

I'm in front of your place. Come down right now.

-It's not hot, is it? -No.

What's wrong with this?

You're home, honey?

Get me the kids' body wash. We're out.

Wait.

Yu-jin.

My husband doesn't know.

How will I explain this to him?

Yu-jin.

Yu-jin, are you home?

Yu-jin.

Didn't you hear me?

I did. How many times must you call out my name?

You just can't do anything without me.

It was messy here, so I was cleaning it up.

Here.

Someone's here.

Who else would come here at this time?

It's the other moms.

I'll get the door.

You go finish washing up the kids, please.

I definitely gave it back.

-Bye. -Wait.

You know we need to talk.

Let's talk properly after I turn the guests away.

What took you so long?

I'm not feeling well today.

I'm sorry, but can we meet some other time?

But...

What? This is absurd.

She's avoiding us, isn't she?

Let her be.

Jung-ah.

Are we backing off like this?

She says she's sick. What else can we do?

Why aren't we leaving?

We are.

What?

What are you afraid of getting caught for?

What are you talking about? Let's go.

I guess you had a guest over.

I came to ask if you wanted some porridge.

I see.

Who are you?

Are you a friend?

No.

I'm Jang Mi-ho.

Ms. Oh Yu-jin won in the family photo event

that was held at our bank.

We are doing a photoshoot with the winner's family,

so I came to propose doing an advertisement with us.

Oh, I see.

But on Saturday, at this hour?

You're right.

This was the only time we both were free.

If you say so.

I'll buy you porridge next time.

Well, then. I'll let you two talk.

It was me, wasn't it?

I was the problem.

No, it's not like that.

Are you scared that I'll tell them something about you?

The money was to keep my mouth shut?

You are the same.

You haven't changed one bit.

Look who's talking.

How can you be so confident?

You think you and I are in the same shoes?

I think you have more to lose than I do.

It felt unfair that only you seemed to be living such a good life.

So if you don't want others

to find out what you did, shut your mouth.

EPISODE 2

Dad!

I'm going to eat it first.

No, I'll eat it first!

No, I'll eat it first.

No, I'm going to eat it first.

-Hurry up, Dad. -Hurry up, Dad.

Hurry up.

Dad.

-Hurry up. -Hurry up.

I am doing my best here.

Give it.

You take too much off, honey.

Oh, honey.

Honey!

-No picture today? -What?

Of course we must.

Shall we say "mango"?

One, two, three.

My husband in full charge of child care.

He's struggling today again to feed the kids.

Come on. "Full charge" is an overstatement.

Don't you know how I got this many followers in just a few years?

People want to see nice, happy things,

not something pitiful.

-Besides, it's all true. -Well, I just...

People might get jealous of you.

Don't worry. I won't let them.

Because I will do anything...

Just about anything to protect us.

Was I too harsh?

I was too harsh...

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

PHOTOSHOOT PROPOSAL WITH EVENT WINNER

What a busy day.

Ms. Jang. Mr. Lee. To the conference room.

Yes?

What?

Okay. Let's go.

What didn't he like?

INFLUENCER OH YU-JIN

It's nothing big.

You know how the vice chairman loves to look hip, right?

By imitating young people.

He likes the follow-up idea, but he wants to do the photoshoot

with influencer winner Oh Yu-jin, not the grand prize winner.

For the social media advertisement effect.

I see.

-What? -Why?

You suggested Oh Yu-jin too.

You said no because it wouldn't be fair.

That's what the vice chairman wants. What can I do?

I'll give you plenty of time to revise the report.

-By tomorrow. -But...

Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang.

Is your hearing okay?

Do you have to bother me even when I'm eating?

You said you'd buy me a meal.

-When did I say that? -More than eight months ago.

I probably didn't mean that we'd eat together.

Go ahead and eat. It's on me.

I can't believe you.

Listen.

Should I call Ms. Oh Yu-jin for you?

Here is your order.

You seem not to have moved on for so long.

What is your relationship? Friends?

Shut up and eat.

This is why I don't eat with other people.

This is better, right?

Yes, I'm on my way home.

I am a bit tired.

Can you stop saying that?

I think you're lying because you don't want to talk to me.

How can you say that every day?

Don't you think about how it'd make me feel?

It's not like that, Mom.

Don't get mad.

I'm sorry.

Okay. I'll answer your call right away.

You hang up first, Mom.

Bye.

As you already know, other moms are all talking about you.

Unless you want them all as your enemies,

shouldn't you give them a peace offering?

She has lied about so many things.

If Ji-yul got the Snow White role in an unfair way,

we must publicize it.

Who can mediate this, if not me?

My lovely men.

I am feeding all of you again as usual.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Here. -Oh, yeah.

You don't want them to keep bringing up what happened two years ago, right?

I hope you come up with a wise solution.

I asked you all to come here once again because...

There are many objections regarding the performance, so we need to discuss it.

Actually, I'm the one who suggested that we meet today.

Ella won't play Show White

in this year's performance.

What is she talking about?

What did she say?

Not just Ella, but the other kids too.

I don't want anyone to play Snow White.

What...

What do you mean by that?

I'm suggesting that we don't do Red Shoes.

What about the performance? It's just around the corner.

That's right. We don't have much time,

so we can't do any musical that requires a lot of practice.

So this is what I suggest.

How about we do several short plays

so that everyone can play the main part?

We can do some important scenes

from stories like Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Robin Hood.

From the scripts, costumes and staging, to catering,

I will be sure to have them ready on time.

What do you say?

Well...

It is better than our kids playing small roles.

And if you're willing to prepare everything...

But are you sure about this?

Of course.

This is the best decision.

The performance is for everyone to be happy,

so isn't it important that everyone is a winner?

It's not a bad idea.

I'm in.

Ms. Oh Yu-jin won in the family photo event

that was held at our bank.

We are doing a photoshoot with the winner's family,

so I came to propose doing an advertisement with us.

You must be upset that you don't get to play Snow White.

No, I'm fine.

I love it even more that I get to do both Cinderella and Peter Pan.

My sweet Ji-yul.

You don't want me to be upset, do you?

I'm fine.

I'll make sure you shine the brightest on stage.

May I speak to a person in charge of the social media marketing team?

Hello. This is Oh Yu-jin.

I heard you're planning an advertisement shoot with the event winner.

Oh, really?

But I haven't heard anything from the person in charge.

Of course, I will do the shoot.

Hello. Come on in, Se-hee.

Please head over to the auditorium.

JANG MI-HO

The call is forwarded to voicemail...

Why won't you pick up my calls?

After you called my team leader and offered to do the shoot.

Yu-jin, can we talk?

Please call me when you get this message.

Aren't you a bit underdressed?

It looks like home wear.

What?

I did get dressed for the occasion.

No one dresses up for such an occasion these days...

I can't believe you.

You still don't know how to dress appropriately?

What would you without me?

So you think it's inappropriate?

-Too underdressed? -Go get changed.

-I'll wait here. -Okay then.

I'll be right back.

-Wait here. -Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

Hello.

Thank you.

-Honey. -You're here.

I told you I wouldn't be late.

-It's been a while. How have you been? -Good.

What about your work?

Is it okay to show up at every event like this?

It isn't too busy at work these days.

Our discount event is over now.

He's taking time off work because he can.

People open up their own clinics to use time more freely.

How are things at work?

I heard that Jung-ah has given you

most of the control over the business these days.

Well... Yes, I...

He may seem gentle, but he's actually tenacious.

He's the one who came up with the detox drink

that we released last month.

Is that so?

Then you can stop advertising it on your social media.

Some people might think you do it because you don't trust your husband.

I'm supporting him because I'm capable enough.

I do it because it's effective, right?

-Have you eaten? -Yes. Omakase.

Ji-yul is in the third one?

Yes.

-Hello. -Hello.

Welcome.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Hey.

You're here.

You look so beautiful today, Na-young.

I dressed up for this special occasion.

-It's been a long time. -Yes.

How have you been?

Where have you been?

In the restroom.

-We'll talk afterwards. -Okay. I'm sorry, ma'am.

Please stop by often.

-Where were you? -In the restroom.

It's starting.

You look so handsome today, babe.

I fell for you all over again.

MY PRINCE YOU'RE ALL I SEE TOO.

I don't want to say "get away."

It's okay.

Please don't hit me!

Are you okay, Ji-yul?

I'm sorry!

The performance seems to be overheated, right?

It looks like the kids need some rest.

We will resume in ten minutes.

Are you all right, Ji-yul?

It must've been hard for her.

Look how pale she is.

How's Ji-yul?

I think she was a bit startled, but she's okay now.

Don't worry about it, Ji-ye.

Kids can't control themselves sometimes.

When So-won gets carried away, her actions do usually get big.

-What? -She got hit by So-won's wand.

Ji-yul must be shocked because she didn't expect it.

I think we should go home now.

Will you go bring Ha-yul, honey?

All right.

It really is okay.

Hey.

What do you mean Ji-yul got hit by the wand?

That wand never touched her.

I didn't expect you to apologize, but I'm a bit disappointed.

You insisting it wouldn't change the truth.

But I do understand why you want to believe that to be true.

What did you say? That's just absurd.

That's enough.

So-won must be in shock too. Go comfort her.

Be sure to tell her kids make mistakes as they grow up.

Or do you still hold a grudge against me?

Hey. Wait.

What are you trying to do here?

Why are you bringing up the past and falsely accusing my girl?

I saw it with my own two eyes,

so why do you keep talking nonsense that So-won hit Ji-yul?

Please watch what you say around the kids.

Go ahead and believe what you want.

You lied about her being allergic to peanuts

and you continue to tell so many lies.

You seem to be making that up because you think there is no proof.

Let's see who's telling the truth.

There are security cameras in the auditorium,

and I'm sure many parents were filming the play at the time.

Let's see right here

whether So-won hit Ji-yul or not.

Hey.

I shot the video from the side.

-We'll be able to see whether... -What are you all doing?

Don't you see how shaken up the kids are? Is this the time to see who's right?

Why are you changing the subject?

Are you scared that you'll be caught lying?

Look at her sweating.

This event was for the kids.

How do you think the kids will see this?

-Honey. -Think about it.

We'll get going now.

What's going on here?

You can tell the truth to us.

Why did you do it?

Were you scared of the wand?

You thought she would hit you?

I wonder why you reacted that way, Ji-yul.

Stop, honey.

I will take care of this.

I guess you don't want to talk.

Let's go home and draw, which you love to do.

Okay?

It's not too hot, right?

Let's get some soap.

Let's wash your hands.

ART THERAPY

TREE-DRAWING TEST

Let's draw a tree.

But I want to draw Princess Sophia and race cars.

Let's start with a tree, okay?

Then can I draw it as I want?

Of course.

You can draw any way you want.

A normal-shaped trunk reflects their emotions

on energy, creativity and life

in terms of their growth and development.

Ji-yul, why don't we make the trunk a bit thicker?

When a child draws weak branches with one line each,

it reflects frustration and a feeling of helplessness.

Draw in some apples too.

The tree looks too lonely.

Fruits represent desire to accomplish.

Let's make them look pretty.

Like this.

Like this.

-Hello? -It's me.

JANG MI-HO

Give me a moment, Ji-yul.

Did you get my texts?

I called you many times.

I was busy because of the kids' performance.

And I heard that you were supposed to propose it to me first.

Why didn't you tell me?

I texted you the details.

You'll shoot the advertisement with your kids.

My kids?

Let's see what you're drawing, Ji-yul.

Can you give me a date?

I'm not sure if I want to do this anymore.

My kids would be too exposed.

Why are you changing your mind now? If you don't want to do it, don't.

Is that so? Then should I not do it?

If it's hard for you to tell your boss, I will do it for you.

Your boss told me several times,

so I was trying to think positively about it.

That's too bad.

Oh, right.

I heard that you are to be promoted soon.

You don't need to decide right now.

Let me know once you make up your mind.

Where did she go?

NEW FOLDER

JANG MI-HO

JANG MI-HO

I've made up my mind. I'll do it.

I want Ms. Oh Yu-jin to have a holy look on her face.

The key is the kids' facial expressions.

Please leave that here.

Leave that here.

Mi-ho.

Girls, she is your auntie. Did you say hi?

I have many aunties.

This time, it's your real aunt.

My real aunt?

Hi.

This is the special catering service that the bank got for us.

It's so beautiful.

I'll have to thank the bank president later.

It's so good.

That was close.

I'll show you around the studio.

Over here...

Ta-da!

If you look here,

these are what Ha-yul and Ji-yul will wear today.

Aren't they beautiful?

Ta-da! This is the dressing room.

Isn't it great?

If you look here,

they even prepared toys

for Ji-yul an Ha-yul.

-Now, I'll... -Quit bragging.

Thank you, ma'am.

Please enjoy them.

Thank you.

See?

Will you say that So-won hit Ji-yul?

You can see what happened exactly.

Ms. Hwang.

Why don't we put this behind us,

for everyone's sake?

What kind of mother would put this behind her,

when her daughter was falsely accused?

Ms. Kim.

I... find it a bit odd.

Will you take a look at this?

Very good.

Good. Let's smile big.

Very good.

Very good. Good.

Good.

Wow!

Look over here.

Very good.

How beautiful.

Good.

Ji-yul is the model student and Ha-yul is a bit eccentric.

They are opposites.

But they get along well.

Ji-yul looks after Ha-yul well, since she's the older sister.

Good.

-Back then... -Back then,

I misunderstood you.

I thought you were trying to blackmail me.

I got so scared

that I did something ridiculous.

I have no intention of blackmailing you with the past.

Why would I do such a thing?

Just seeing you again one day

was my lifetime goals.

Let's be objective here.

We were perpetrators to each other.

So let's apologize to each other and put the past behind us.

Wait.

Why would I apologize?

I said that I thought you were going to blackmail me with the past,

not that what happened in the past was my fault.

Yes.

I was perplexed that day.

It wasn't my fault, but it is my past that I don't want anyone to know.

But now that I think about it,

why should I?

When it's not my fault. So why?

You...

You don't ever think about what you've done, do you?

What I've done? What did I do?

I just made you pay the price for what you'd done.

We'll take a short break.

Let's take a ten-minute break.

Today I wanted us

to apologize to each other and put it all behind us.

You're really something.

How could you possibly expect me to apologize to you?

Is it my fault to expect you to have a conscience?

Are you okay, Ha-yul?

Ha-yul?

Ha-yul!

What's wrong, Ha-yul?

Move aside.

Are you crazy?

Ha-yul. What's wrong, Ha-yul?

Move aside.

Spit it out.

Give her back. Give her back to me!

Give...

Give her back!

Mommy.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

Are you okay, Ha-yul?

Don't you dare touch her. Have you lost your mind?

Who put candies here within children's reach?

I'm sorry. I never thought this...

I won't let this slide.

Everything you've done until now...

I will tell the bank.

Yu-jin...

You still don't know what you've done?

You nearly killed me in the past,

and you nearly killed my daughter today.

Come here, Ji-yul.

Ms. Jang. Are you okay?

What's wrong, Mom?

Nothing.

Let's go.

LOVE THE VIBE HERE

Is she ever unhappy?

She's just so lucky.

I know.

I think we all live similar lives,

but sometimes it feels like she's way out of our league.

Right. Speaking of her,

have you heard the rumor?

You know, that day,

Ji-yul was acting a bit strange.

I think

she's being abused.

Abused?

I'm just saying that it's a bit suspicious.

It's understandable for her to be surprised by the wand.

It's also understandable for her to say, "Don't hit me."

But why did she say that she was sorry? Isn't it odd?

No way.

How could you say such a thing?

Everything seemed real with Yu-jin's family.

You can fake anything on social media.

Besides, none of the suspicions have been cleared yet.

Yu-jin.

I wondered who talked about me behind my back

and spread dirty rumors about me.

It was you.

No, it's not like that.

That's what you've been saying about me?

No, Yu-jin. It's not like that.

-Well... Right, Ji-ye... -I will not

let this slide.

You shouldn't have messed with my family.

I will not let my family be insulted like this.

Whoever it may be,

they will pay for speaking ill of my family.

Just you wait and see.

Yu-jin. Wait.

Yu-jin! Oh, no!

Jung-ah.

What am I going to do now?

What can I do about what your big mouth said?

Your mouth is always the problem.

Can you please stop making things up like that?

Jung-ah.

You can't do this to me.

You're the one who egged me on.

When did I do that? Don't pin this on me.

Jung-ah!

Oh, come on.

THE MAN WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME

Honey, what am I going to do?

You said you'd put a Band-Aid on my knee.

Let me see.

That must've hurt a lot. Wait here.

I came here to give this back.

Why on earth did you give this to me?

I have no intention of blackmailing you with the past.

Why would I do such a thing?

There.

I saw your live show.

I'm so jealous.

Ha-yul got hurt during the shoot.

A scratch on her beautiful knee.

A scratch in my heart too.

The well-being of her comes first,

so I decided not to do the shoot.

Are you hurt too?

No, I'm okay.

I'll put a Band-Aid on you too.

Move aside.

You nearly killed me in the past,

and you nearly killed my daughter today.

What's wrong, Mom?

Does it hurt a lot?

Yes.

It does.

A scratch in my heart too.

Your call is forwarded to voicemail...

OOO_YOOJIN MADE A NEW POST

It's just me and my husband tonight.

The kids are camping for the night,

so we will spend a quiet night together.

What?

She's home?

Oh, no.

The cake is ruined.

I was just going to leave it here.

I wanted to know how Ha-yul was doing.

Regardless of our past,

this was my fault, so I wanted to apologize.

Get lost.

Hey, Oh Yu-jin.

Aren't you being too harsh?

I came to apologize.

You horrify me.

You...

If it weren't for you...

I want you dead.

Hey.

That's what I want to say.

Hey. Open the door.

Only you get to say what's on your mind?

Hey, Oh Yu-jin.

You...

horrify me too.

OH YU-JIN

What? You have something more to say?

I got lost just like you told me to.

Help me.

No one else can know.

Yu-jin. Oh Yu-jin.

Is something wrong?

Please delete it.

RECENTS OH YU-JIN

What? Is this a joke or something?

-Did you hear? -Did you see the news?

She's dead.

-Read the article. -She's dead?

In our neighborhood?

I was completely shocked too.

Exactly. It's a scary world out there.

-Is she really dead? -Did you see the news?

Oh, no.

-It's shocking. -She's really dead?

-She's famous. -She's famous on social media.

-It's that famous woman on social media. -Her?

Oh, no.

Ms. Jang.

Did you see this?

MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

A MARRIED COUPLE MURDERED IN BANNAE-DONG

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

They are the moms from Yu-jin's daughters' kindergarten.

Who is she, sitting here as if she's a bereaved family member?

What did the police say?

Was she really murdered? Is there a suspect?

Are you all right?

Just for about two months.

A blood-related kin is the best, right?

We're not blood-related.

No! I want to go home!

I want my mommy!

Don't you know that there are rumors about you?

The police questioned you many times, right?

No one else can know.

Excuse me.

Catch what? She's already dead.

Hello.

We're going to plant this today.

There isn't something going on that I don't know about, right?

You did a great job today, honey.

Die, die, die, die!
