BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

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

I don't know what she told Yu-jin,
but Yu-jin was hysterical.

Then are you convinced by
Kang Do-jun's explanation?

If there were two people
and one of them died,

shouldn't the suspicion
be on the other person?

I'm sure you know better than anyone
who this man is.

You said there wouldn't be a problem.

She seems to know that you're behind it.

Doing it once was enough.
I won't do anything risky anymore.

She called us out for my husband's secret
and Jung-ah's work on her social media.

PREVIOUSLY

Just wait.

I'll find it no matter what.

DELETE ALL ITEMS?
DELETE

That wench's weakness.

For a while before her death,

Yu-jin acted really strange. I heard
she even made a scene at the kindergarten.

I think she tore up the girls' drawings?

That anonymous board is different.

If Yu-jin had a secret,

she would've written it there
instead of confiding in us.

You look young.

Get ready.

HUSBAND

WHAT IF YOU FIND A STRANGE VIDEO CLIP...

"What if you find a strange video clip
on your husband's laptop?"

"I'm trying hard to stay calm,

but my hands are still trembling."

"In the video clip,

he's doing something weird."

You look young.

I get that a lot.

Right. Did you bring them?

Get ready.

Sir!

Wait. Please.

I called you several times.

Is this you?

Yes.

This is quite urgent.
How long will it take?

I won't know until I try.

Can this be done by tomorrow?

I will pay you whatever...

All right, so please leave.

Please do it as soon as possible.

The person you have called is unavailable.

GONG CHANG-HYUN

Mr. Han. Come to my office.

Have a seat.

I have a favor to ask you.

About Jung-sik's car accident...

Could you tell the police
that you drove the car?

But didn't you report the car stolen?

I cancelled it because I didn't want to
make matters worse.

I promise. It won't be a big deal.

No one was injured.

We damaged our own car,
so who would make a fuss about it?

And Jung-sik's friends' lips can be
sealed with money just like last time.

It's not his first time.

Please do this for me. Please?

Good work.

Is everything all right?
What about Jung-sik?

He's fine.

By the way, honey,

you know I have a Hannam-dong gathering
to attend later, right?

Okay. All right. Bye.

What kind of gathering is it?

With Herinity dads.

At the membership club?

I won't be long. Order in for dinner.

Su-bin.

Can I come with you?

No way. What if Jung-ah finds out?

It won't be for long,
so how would she find out?

No way. Not a chance.

Hey, Jung Su-bin.

How could you be like this to me?

Have you forgotten what I did for you?

I do what I like to do.

You can't stop me.

You know what'll happen
if I open my mouth.

You birdbrained b*stard.

Always keep that in mind.

Always.

I will see you next time.

WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY?

Why haven't I heard from her?

Are you busy, my sweetie?

I'm almost home now.

A-RA

A-RA

LEAVE CHATROOM

A-RA

I'm home.

- Daddy!
- Hey, baby!

Did you have fun today?

- Yes.
- You're home early.

Oh, right.

You're home, honey?

What? What's going on here?

Didn't I tell you?

Ms. Jo said she was taking a break
after quitting Herinity, so...

What? Is there a problem?

No, I was surprised. That's all.

We'll have dinner with her.

It's good that you did not go
to that gathering, right?

Yes.

Then please tell me
what Do-jun is like at least.


You must know him well.

I don't want to get involved in this.

LEE TAE-h*

Here.

You're not going to change?

My goodness. I am always so forgetful.

I told them I would be there today.

I only came home to get changed.

What are you talking about?

I just talked to Sung-hee,

and her husband thinks
you're not coming today.

JANG MI-h*

Oh, hi, Ms. Jang.

Can we meet when you're free?

- I know...
- Of course.

Why don't you come here now?

I'll text you the address.

LEE TAE-h*


I forgot to tell you.

I told Ms. Jang Mi-h* that I would
introduce the members to her today.

Why?

She has some questions to ask
about Kang Do-jun.

Yes, this is Kang Do...

Hello?

Where are you?

Are you home?

I'm at a hotel to take care of something.

- What is this about?
- You know we have a gathering today?

I don't think I can...

Ms. Jang Mi-h* will be there.

LEE TAE-h*

Let's go.

What is this place?

You said you have
some important questions to ask.

This is the perfect place.

What is this place?

You said you wanted to know
what Kang Do-jun did.

Don't you want to know
what he did behind those walls?

You better see it yourself.

Here you go.

What's with that look on your face?
What did you imagine?

Something naughty?

I told you, right?

This is Ms. Jang Mi-h*.

She has many questions to ask.

Welcome. I'm Yoon Sung-jae.

I'm Kim Woo-hyeok.

Please have a seat.

I'm Jung Su-bin.

I'm sorry. It's just that
we've never had a woman here before.

Jeez, Chae-ah's dad.

Come on, Eun-han's dad.

It's not fair to call me that here.

Anyway, what do you want to know?

Why don't you pour me a glass first?

PULL HANDLE

BANNAE m*rder... IT MIGHT BE PREMEDITATED



"DONE BY AN ACQUAINTANCE?"
NO SIGNS OF INTRUSION

A martini. Wait.

Whiskey. The most expensive one here.

What a pity, right?

He didn't deserve what happened to him.

He is a decent man

who knows his boundaries.

And he's rich.
He's the director of his own clinic.

I don't think he was having an affair.
Am I the only one who thinks so?

He loved his wife very much too.

As far as I know, he even signed over
the house to his wife.

Do-jun did?

I referred him to someone for that.

He was advised to put it under
both of their names to reduce taxes,

but he insisted on giving it to his wife.

Why?

We weren't that close to talk about why.

Maybe she had something on him.

What must you do wrong
to hand over a multi-billion-won house?

I wonder how much the gift tax was.

Why won't you believe me?

I'm really the little brother
of the company's CEO.

Do you want me to give out
a box of Spirit High?

It's tough to work here, right?

- Your number. Give it.
- Sir...

I'll get you a job at my sister's company.

I got many people jobs there.

Just give me your number.

It's just that I feel bad for you.
I pity you.

I heard that you went to play golf
with a pro last week.

Did the lessons pay off?

Well, you know.

I'll get going now.

You will?

You're leaving already?

I had a great time tonight.

See you next time.

I'll call a cab for you.

That's okay.

Let's go.

She's not my type.

You never know.
She might be different than she looks.

Anyway, she doesn't know what she's doing.

That wouldn't get us to open our mouths.

It wasn't that bad. I almost said
something because of the alcohol.

About what?

You know, about Kang Do-jun's taste.

He even went to the club
several times with Mr. Park.

Maybe he got caught
and gave her the house.

Enjoy the rest of your time.

What? Did she hear it?

RECORDING

Let's go.

Thanks, but that's all right.

Give me your number.

Hey.

What the hell are you doing?

Did you invite a woman over?

- No.
- I knew it when you said you'd come here.

I'm glad I came here tonight.

- It's not what you think.
- Excuse me.

Who are you
and why are you acting so rude?

You b*stard.

How could you do this to my sister?

You're a leech
feeding off my sister's money.

How could you cheat on her? How dare you!

You can't do this here.
Please take it outside.

Let go.

Let go of me!

You've always mooched off women.
How dare you?

Hey.

I will make sure my sister divorces you.

That's enough!

You b*stard!

Please don't do this.

Let go of me!

Where are you, Mr. Han?

Why don't you get it?

I'm telling you to come right now!

I don't know what to say.
I'm terribly sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

He's the one who hit me.

Could you please
not report it to the police?

I'll compensate you more than enough.

Wait in the car.

- Bring 30 million by tomorrow.
- Yes, ma'am.

sh*t.

The safe is in the basement of her house.

She is a tough cookie.

But no worries.

Everybody has a small secret.

Why do you provide her some reasons?

You settled with your wife
by giving her the apartment,


and the police knows it all.
What bothers you?


The club has nothing to do
with your wife's death.

I just hate to see Jang Mi-h* around!

Do you have some big secrets?

Is there anything I don't know about?

I told you everything.

That's your business anyway.

To keep the bigger secrets,

you better reveal the small ones.

Don't jump on the conclusions.
You have no idea what I have.

Anyway, it seems that

Jang Mi-h* will be troublesome.

Don't worry. I will handle her myself.

You know, about Kang Do-jun's taste.

He even went to the club
several times with Mr. Park.


Maybe he got caught
and gave her the house.


TASTE

WHAT IF YOU FIND A STRANGE VIDEO CLIP
ON YOUR HUSBAND'S LAPTOP?

I unlocked the USB,

so come and get it.

Hello.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

PANDORA'S BOX

KANG DO-JUN

I THINK MY KID SAW THE VIDEO

A shiny gem?

Stupid. I told you it's not a shiny gem.

It's a USB.

Ji-yul.

You know what a USB is?

Yes, it was in the study. It was Mom's.

Ji-yul watched this?

KANG DO-JUN
CALLING

Where are you?

Let's meet.

All right.

Was this the reason?

Why you and Yu-jin fought that day?

I watched the video.

Did it happen

because Yu-jin found out?

Did you know that Ji-yul watched it?

How...

I'm going to the police with this.

So turn yourself in before I do.

If you care about Ji-yul and Ha-yul.

Go ahead.

What?

Take it to the police.

But they already know.

And Yu-jin found out

quite a while ago.

You're admitting it?
That because of this video, you...

For God's sake.

How cumbersome.

Yu-jin and I agreed to bury it.

That's why I gave her the house
and let her manage my money.

Why would I k*ll her for something
that's been resolved?

It's all been resolved.

And those girls did it for money.

It has nothing to do with Yu-jin's death.

So,

please stop harassing me.

What on earth happened that night?

Why did you end up fighting using a knife?

Why are you asking me that?

You're the one who planned it with Yu-jin.

That's absurd!

- You know that it's not true.
- Oh, come on!

Why don't you admit it?
Yu-jin really died because of you.

She acted crazy since you showed up.

She woke up screaming many times
in the middle of the night.

She was terrified that
her past would be exposed.

Yes.

We fought that night.

She was talking about you
and she became hysterical again.

I was about to go crazy too.

But it was Yu-jin
who suddenly lost her mind

and stabbed herself in the side.

I wanted you to be punished too,
so I told the police...

Yes!

I lied a bit. But...

Do you know what Yu-jin said
over the phone before she died?

Please delete it.

"Please die."

"You're a horrible person."

"Because of you...
If it weren't for you..."

"I want you dead."

She died thinking of you

and resented you to the end.

Ms. Jang Mi-h*.

She died because of you.

That's the truth. Don't try to avoid it.

Hello.

COMPLAINT

COMPLAINT

"I used to live with Jang Mi-h*
for six years

due to our parents' remarriage."

"Since she sinned against heaven,

I have broken off contact with her
for the last 18 years."

"But a while ago
Jang Mi-h* suddenly showed up

and started blackmailing me
about my past."

"She even used the advertisement sh**t
as bait to lure me

and put my daughter's life in danger."

"Because of anxiety and fear,
I had a nervous breakdown

and couldn't even sleep."

She woke up screaming many times
in the middle of the night.

She was terrified that
her past would be exposed.

Hey. Oh Yu-jin.

You horrify me.

You...

If it weren't for you...

I want you dead.

She died thinking of you

and resented you to the end.

Ms. Jang Mi-h*.

She died because of you.

"Is she trying to ruin my family?"

"Every day is a living hell
because of the agony."

"I didn't do anything wrong."

"When I was younger, I just became
Jang Mi-h*'s sister against my will."

I hate those times.

"I ask that the bank take action

to stop this woman from approaching me."

"I am in misery."

"Every day is a living hell."

"I am suffering so much
that I'd rather die."



We will now begin
the 2023 Inner Spirit Investor Meeting.

- Hey.
- Hello.

I am Jung Su-bin, the president.

Why didn't you get back to me?

I'll meet him this afternoon.

What? You still haven't met him?

You ordered me to stay at the motel.

Oh, right.

In any case, don't worry about the event
and keep an eye on Jung-sik.

Keep the club manager silent too.

That's your job.

Yes, ma'am.

Damn it.

This is Han Jun-kyung.

Can we meet earlier today?

Yes, at the club.

I have what we promised.

We have less than an hour. I'm so nervous.

Many will come, right?

We didn't have enough seats last time.

- Those spare chairs will be enough, right?
- Yes.

INNER SPIRIT INVESTOR MEETING

Mr. Jung.

Why don't we rehearse
the presentation once more?

Okay.

Ms. Song. You should take a look at this.

Okay.

I hope you like it.

What is it?

He seems like the CEO's brother.

Who sent this?

- Well...
- Ms. Song.

You need to look at this too.

INNER SPIRIT CEO'S BROTHER
SHOCKING VIDEO OF INHALING METH

CEO KWAK SANG-CHEON [HB FOODS]

Hello?

No, it's not.

I'll look into it.

- Yes. I'll look into it.
- I'll call you back.

Put your phones on silent mode
and do not answer any calls

until I figure out what's going on.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

The person you have called is unavailable.

SECRETARY HAN JUN-KYUNG

Damn it. Who is it?

- Hello?
- Where's Han Jun-kyung?

I don't know.

How would I know?
I'm sure he went to the club.

You crazy b*stard.

Do you know what just happened?

Your meth video, as*ault video...
They went viral.

My business is about to be ruined
because of you.

How could you say that?

What?

So tell me.

Where is Han Jun-kyung?

I don't know.

I really don't know!

RESIGNATION LETTER

Thank you for everything, Ms. Song.

I don't think you can report me
to the police.


The money that was here...

I'll consider it my severance pay.

We better insist that
the video is fabricated.

And we must have
the investor meeting today.



Go home. Good work.

Go home. Good work.

Go home. Good work.

We'll get going then.

Let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

What's wrong, honey? Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

It's all ruined. How can I be okay?

Not yet. I'm sure there's a way.

I can't be ruined.

What about our Min-sung?

Jung-un, Jung-pil, Jung-sik

and you...

Why are you worried about other people?

Why are you trying to take care
of our lives too?

Your life has been so hard

because of that.

It's okay.

Is everything okay, Ms. Jang? You know
you come back to work tomorrow, right?


GO TO WORK

KANG BONG-SEOK [YU-JIN'S FATHER-IN-LAW]

Hi.

Hello. Are you busy?

No. Go ahead.

Can you please come over?

Ji-yul. Ha-yul.

Auntie.

Hey.

Ha-yul.

Ji-yul, what's wrong with Ha-yul?

I heard what happened.

You were shocked that
Grandpa wasn't here when you woke up?

Ha-yul.

Grandpa, Dad,

your mom in heaven and I
never abandoned you.

We all love you very much.

It's just that Dad is busy at the moment,

and I...

Sorry.

I shouldn't ask you to understand
the grown-ups' situations.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, Ha-yul.

I made a dinosaur. Who wants it?

- Me! I want it!
- I do!

It's mine.

That's so funny.

Please.

Okay.

I'm sure the kids feel uneasy because
the guardians are changing too frequently.

You're right.

It should get better
once their dad comes back.

Pardon?

They're behaving this way
because their dad is gone.

All they have now is their dad.

Ha-yul, that's so funny.

I'm leaving now, girls.

From now on, you can see me
whenever you want to.

Can't you spend the night here?

Why are you always so busy?

You and Dad are always busy.

Do you miss your dad very much?

- Yes.
- Yes.

I'm sorry about so many things.

About what?

Everything.

I'm really, really sorry.

Do you have some big secrets?

Is there anything I don't know about?

Did you get the money?

Sure. Thank you.

Please contact me

whenever you need my service.

You can't tell this to my lawyer.

Of course not.

No.

Not just to my lawyer.

You take this to your grave.

That's why I paid you big.

Don't worry about it.

By the way, the girl...

Don't even bring it up!

You understand?

Okay, I got it.

I will give you the code,

so come pick up your belongings.

BANNAE-DONG m*rder INVESTIGATION
EXPECTED TO BE PROLONGED

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

MS. JANG MI-h*

We're deciding on our roles
before you get here.


Ms. Ko, you will be in charge of
the social data tool upgrade.

General planning, meetings
and social media account management

will be done by Ms. Jang again.

And the secretary job...

Who wants to do it?

I guess Ms. Jang will do that too.

What? What did you say?

Aren't you being too harsh?

She's coming tomorrow,
and you're deciding on our roles today.

You're giving all the tedious tasks to her
and the secretary tasks too?

Are you taking her side
because she's your senior?

It's true. It's not like
she was on vacation.

You got to stop giving her a hard time.

What? Why are you laughing?

Hey, Lee.

- Do you like her that much?
- What?

No. What are you talking about?

God, Ms. Jang is so lucky
to have someone taking her side.

It's not like that.

- It's not!
- All right.

- Let's say it's not.
- It's not, then.

It's really not like that.

MS. JANG MI-h*

Is everything all right?
Why can't I reach you?


Why won't you answer my call?

Everything is okay, right?

I'm worried. Please text me back.

See you tomorrow.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

You're not going home?

I am.

Why is he behaving like that these days?

He's like a puppy who lost his owner.

You start work tomorrow.
What are you up to?


Ms. Jang.

Why haven't you answered your phone?
I thought something happened to you.

I'm sorry. I didn't even know you called.

Do you know how worried I was?

I mean, is it so hard to check your phone?
Where are you right now?

At Yu-jin's house.

I came to get my things.
Her father-in-law gave me the code.

Wait there for me.

I'm in a cab.

There's no need. I'm about to leave now.

- See you tomorrow.
- Wait. I'm in a cab...

What...

MARILYN

Welcome.

How can I help you?

RECIPIENT: OH YU-JIN

SENDER: SIM HYE-JUNG

Oh Yu-jin?

I don't know her.

How can I remember everyone?

So many girls have come and gone.

You came here for nothing.

I'll get you a girl.
Have a drink before you go.

Mother.

Please have a seat.

SIM HYE-JUNG

OH YU-JIN

IT'S THE PRICE OF YOUR LIFE

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

I am scared

that I might learn
something that I don't want to know.

But I must know what I need to.

Ms. Sim Hye-jung?

I came to ask you what this note mean.

I don't know why the package you sent
a long time ago just arrived,

but many things are bothering me.

Why should I tell you?

She ran into Jang Mi-h*
who caused all those symptoms.

What do you think?

Not bad.

You can't take back
your investment money like this.

Please have faith in me...

Shut up before I rip your mouth.

Mom. Mom.

For some reason,

I have been feeling nauseous.

Do you know what kind of key this is?

Isn't this

a key to an apartment storage locker?

Is it?

She brought the key.

How does she have that key?

Are you keeping something from me?
