BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

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

You crazy b*stard.

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


PREVIOUSLY

So tell me. Where is Han Jun-kyung?

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

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


Do you have some big secrets?

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

Ji-yul watched this?

Oh Yu-jin?

I don't know her.

You came here for nothing.

Mother.

Please have a seat.

IT'S THE PRICE OF YOUR LIFE

OH YU-JIN

MARILYN

Oh Yu-jin? I don't know her.

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

Mother.

Please have a seat.

Who are you?
Why are you calling me "Mother"?

Don't be scared already.

I haven't said a thing yet.

Who are you?

You already know.

RECIPIENT: OH YU-JIN

SENDER: SIM HYE-JUNG

I'll cut to the chase.

I want you to tell something
to the police.

I'm sure Yu-jin was not in her right mind

when she stayed here with you.

I already know everything.

I would never sell out my dead daughter
over this petty money.

I told you, I already know everything.

So...

Just hear me out first.

SENDER: SIM HYE-JUNG

RECIPIENT: OH YU-JIN

See? I told you.

I should've gone.

Don't think about any of those,
and get a good night's sleep.


Forget about the package and the key.

All right, I will.

It's late. Good night.

Oh Yu-jin, Sim Hye-jung...

- Okay. You take this, Mr. Oh.
- Okay.

And you take this.

Like this?

Oh, my goodness.

- Ms. Jang!
- Ms. Jang!

- Hello.
- I'm back.

Oh, my, Ms. Jang!

Ms. Jang.

I'm glad you're back.

You're finally back.

Ms. Jang. I've been
wanting you back so much

that I nearly died.

It's okay to divide up the tasks this way?

JOB ASSIGNMENT

JANG MI-h*

Here.

All your favorite tasks are in here.

No. I won't work like this anymore.

We should re-do this too.

Why? What's wrong with you?
What has happened to you?

It's before work hours,
so I'll go get a cup of coffee.

Right. I have to go somewhere far today,
so I'm leaving work early.

- Hey, wait.
- Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang.

What are we going to do?

What?

Now I really want to know

what's on your mind.

And if you're really okay
when you say you are.

Why are you carrying this?

You said you were scared yesterday
of what you might learn.

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

But I must know what I need to.

POWER OFF

CEO SONG JUNG-AHncl

The bank called, Ms. Song.

The bank will not give an extension
on the 800-million-won capital loan

that's due in two months.

Even if we sell the factory,
we are short of three billion won.


Hey, Su-bin.

I didn't bring my car
because I wanted to walk.

I'm on my way home, so get started first.

Ms. Song. It's been a long time.

Yes.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I was taking a break after quitting.

Ms. Kim called me,
and I'm A-rin's nanny now.

- Is that so?
- Let's go, A-rin.

Na-young.

Mom.

That's so funny.

It's too small.

- That's not true.
- Don't deny it.

Hey, Jung-ah. You're home.

We opened this and drank it.

This isn't the time for you
to drink and party in broad daylight.

Do you want to do this
when you might be arrested?

We are here to discuss
what we are going to do about this.

Put these away.

Why don't you have a seat too, honey?

But I haven't had enough yet.

Can't we talk after we eat?

And Su-bin has no clue what's going on.

Exactly.

What did you say to your brother-in-law?

What did you say to him?

Because of Mom and Dad's will,
for the past 20 years,

I've been looking after all of you.

Because I'm the eldest...

Because I'm your older sister,

I thought it was my duty
to take care of you

in place of our parents
who had passed away too soon.

But what good does it do
if you guys don't grow up?

Am I your ATM?

How little do you think of me
that you would

treat my husband like this?

How long do I have to
clean up after your mess?

Jung-ah.

What's brought this on?

Calm down and...

Shut up before I rip your mouth!

From now on, you guys are on your own.

I have no money to give

and I won't give you a penny from now on.

Get out of here.

Get lost right this instant!

How could you be okay with it?

Why did you let them walk all over you?

Who are they to do that to you?

Well... I don't enjoy
being treated that way either.

It's just that

you dote on your brothers.

Even so, you could've scolded them
at least.

You must think

I put up with something
that I couldn't bear,

but...

I put up with it because it was bearable.

What's wrong?

Su-bin.

We have to sell this house.

Things are going to be tough from now on.

Our company,

our employees...

I don't think I can give them up.

It's all right.

You do what you want.

Su-bin.

That's enough!

I don't have any more money to give you.

Who do you think will believe you?

There's nothing going on
between me and that woman.

SIM HYE-JUNG

Hello?

Anyone in there?

We're not open yet.

I'm here to see Sim Hye-jung.

Is she here?

What for?

I'm here to ask her something.

sh*t. A cop.

Hey!

Wait!

Ms. Sim Hye-jung!

Excuse me.

That's my purse.

You shouldn't have left it unattended.
Isn't it your fault for leaving it behind?

Aren't you going to pay me a reward?

Why would I do that?

This is such bad luck before we open.

If you're not going to pay me, get lost.

Oh, right.

By any chance, do you know
someone named Sim Hye-jung?

What is this about?

I have something to ask her.

There's no one by that name here,
so get lost.

- Excuse me?
- Get lost.

Didn't you hear me?

Ms. Sim. Can you change it
to 10,000-won bills?

Ms. Sim Hye-jung?

You sent this to Yu-jin, right?

What is this key for?
Why did you send this?

And what does this note mean?
I came to ask you these questions.

Then who are you
and why do you have this package?

Shouldn't you tell me this first?

I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm...

Yu-jin's friend.

Someone left this in front of
Yu-jin's house yesterday and I found it.

Yesterday?

Yes. You sent it on December 4th, right?

OH YU-JIN

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

but many things are bothering me.

You know what happened to Yu-jin, right?

Of course I do.

It's the key that
Yu-jin left with me last time.

I don't know what it opens either.

Then why did you send it back?

What about this note?
You wrote it yourself, right?

No, before you answer that...

How do you know Yu-jin?

Why should I tell you?

Pardon?

Her friend, my a*s.

- I'm actually Yu-jin's...
- Who knows what you're up to?

How do I know
you didn't steal this package?

I'm actually Yu-jin's legal sister.

You know her case
is still under investigation?

- This could be a lead...
- See?

You're changing your words.
You said you were her friend earlier.

Get lost before I call the cops for theft.

- Ms. Sim Hye-jung.
- Get lost!

Wait.

I only knew her for a month or two.

But many things didn't quite add up
when we were together.


She was always lying.

At first, I thought she came
from a very wealthy family.


What do you think?

Not bad.

"Due to the scandal that occurred
in high school,

Oh Yu-jin was deeply scarred mentally."

"Ever since, she suffered
from delusions, anxiety disorder,

and a sense of victimization."

"Then she ran into Jang Mi-h*
who triggered all those symptoms."

"Oh Yu-jin's mental state
extremely deteriorated,

and in the end,
she tried to k*ll herself."

"And Kang Do-jun tried to stop her,

and Oh Yu-jin accidentally

stabbed herself in the side."

You must memorize this.

- If you believe it, much better.
- Believe it?

Believe what?
That's what actually happened.

Were there any records of her
seeing a psychiatrist?

Or a prescription? That would be perfect.

I'll look into it.

In any case, meet all of Oh Yu-jin's
old friends and colleagues

and get more statements.

We just need them

to mention Jang Mi-h* and say
they heard Yu-jin say she was in agony.

What do you want?

Jang Mi-h* was here.

A woman named Jang Mi-h*
might come to find you.

Don't tell her anything.

So? I told you she'd be there.

She brought the key.

She left some key with me before she died.

I got a bad feeling about it,
so I sent it right back to her.

How does she have that key?

How would I know?

Why did you have to send it
in the first place

and make things so complicated?

I sent that package months ago.

Jang Mi-h* said

someone left that package yesterday.

There must be
something you didn't tell me.

Damn it!

Mind your own business.

You sent it on December 4th, right?

December 5th.

THE TIME OF DEATH
TO BE AROUND 9PM on DECEMBER 5TH...

THE PACKAGE YOU SENT TO OH YU-JIN
WAS DELIVERED ON DECEMBER 5TH.

DECEMBER 5TH

CONTACTS

What's with the package?

Did you take it that night?

YES.

Then why did you bring it back?

YOU DIDN'T KEEP YOUR PROMISE.
YOU FORGOT ALREADY?

Damn it.

What if Jang Mi-h* catches on
and digs into it?


If she finds out everything,
it's over for you and me.


If you really...

DETECTIVE BAE CHANG-HUN

What?

Come on.

What is it?

Mr. Kang Do-jun. You need to be questioned
as a suspect in the m*rder of Oh Yu-jin.


Please come to the station.

Again?

How long are you going to
harass me like this?

When can you come?
Are you free at 10:00 a.m. on the 17th?


If you don't answer,
I'll take that as a yes. See you then.


PLEASE CALL ME WHEN IT'S READY

Drink this while you teach her.

Again? I already had it.

I made dinner, so eat before you go.

You always treat me so well
that I feel bad.

Don't say that.

Enjoy, A-rin.

Here. One more piece of meat.

I noticed it last time too.

Why aren't you eating much?

I'll eat when my husband gets home.

If I eat before he comes home,
he gets so disappointed.

Oh, I see.

It may not look like it, but he
wouldn't know what to do without me.

Sometimes, he needs
more attention than A-rin does.

And for some reason,
I have been feeling nauseous.

I wonder why I'm feeling like this.

I see.

By the way,

you're not eating much.

Well,

I've been feeling queasy these days.

You're not eating much either.

I've been feeling queasy these days too.

- What's wrong?
- Excuse me for a minute.

Is something wrong?

I'm not feeling so well,
so I must get going.

WOORI HOPE OB-GYN

WOMEN'S RESTROOM

Enjoy.

How could you do that?

What is it this time?

That woman...

Your wife is pregnant.

What?

You said you never touched her.

You said you'd only do your minimum
duties, so why is she pregnant?

What are you talking about? Pregnant?

You tell me. Why are you asking me?

What are you going to do now?

Hold on.

I'll call you back later.

MY PRINCE

The person you have called is unavailable.

IT'S THE PRICE OF YOUR LIFE

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm writing an official letter

of cooperation
for selecting content creators.

I meant, at this hour?

I have to leave early today as well.

Yesterday, you approved my request
to work from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

- Oh, did I?
- Yes.

About the marketing promotion

on free wire transfers
that I talked to you about yesterday...

Right now,

it shows that the fee is zero won
only when they make wire transfers.

So why don't we show a pop-up screen
on the initial page of the app?

Okay. Go ahead.

All right.

Oh, and our bank's strength

is that the customers can make
wire transfers in large amounts at once,

so insert that phrase as well.

All right. Please approve that too.

Yes, ma'am. I have a training session
at the head office.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

The door is closing.

PYEONGJU UNJEONG-RO 80-GIL 2

- Hello.
- Welcome.

What would you like to do?

Of course.

Where do you think their employees
get a perm and get their hair done?

Then you must have known the owner
for a long time now.

We've been making a living
in this neighborhood

for 25 years now, I think.

By the way, didn't you come to see
Ms. Sim the other day?

Yes.

About what?

I'm afraid I can't tell you.

Are you here because of that woman too?

When did she come here?

It was about a month or two ago.

Because of that,

the detectives came
to meet Ms. Sim often for a while.

That's the one who died, right?

I heard that she's Ms. Sim's daughter.

Her daughter?

I'm not sure,
but that's what the rumor says.


The supermarket owner heard
the detectives say that.


Ms. Sim Hye-jung.

Are you there, Ms. Sim?

CLOSED TODAY

PYEONGJU TERMINAL

You know what happened to Yu-jin, right?

Of course I do.

It's the key that
Yu-jin left with me last time.

I don't know what it opens either.

MOM

Hey, Mi-h*.

Hi. What are you doing?

I had nothing to do,
so I was reading a book.

It's Friday. What are you doing?

Same old, same old.

I decided to be discharged in two days.

I feel so suffocated
that I can't stay here any longer.


Jin-suk will give me a ride to Gapyeong.

You'll come too, right?

Yes, of course.

What's wrong with your voice?

Did something happen?

No. Mom...

Do you know anything about Yu-jin's mom?

I have some things to ask about her.

You make me speechless like this at times.

Why would you ask me that?

I didn't mean anything by it.

Why should I know
how my ex-husband's ex-wife is doing?

If that's why you called, goodbye.

Who do you think will believe you?

There's nothing going on
between me and that woman.

- Su-bin.
- Yes?

Don't you have something to tell me?

Oh, the bank loan?

Don't worry too much.

Mr. Park and I are
looking for another bank.

I hear there are plenty of banks

that are willing to take on existing loans
with risks if the profits are high.

Have faith in me now, okay, honey?

SONG JUNG-SIK

FREELOADER

Hey, is it ready?

Why aren't you saying anything, you moron?
Is it ready or not?


What's he supposed to get you?

Why are you calling me
with your husband's phone?

Is this how you normally talk to Su-bin?

So what?

What do you care? You told us to get lost.

You're the one who cut me off.

You talked to Su-bin over the phone
yesterday evening, right?


You were talking about a woman.
Which woman?

- Why do you ask?
- Which woman? Answer me.

Why should I tell you?
It's my source of money.

- You...
- You said I was on my own.

I need to find a way to make a living.

Don't ever call me again.

C HOTEL

- You crazy b*tch.
- You're Yu-jin's mom, aren't you?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why would I when I don't know
what you're up to?

Jang Mi-h*.

Now I remember you.

I have no intention
of acting like her mom now,

but I must say you're so shameless.

Didn't you abandon her like some trash?

Why are you digging into her past
when she's dead?

I told you, I'm not digging into her past.

I thought the delivery might have
to do with Yu-jin's death,

so I came to ask you.

Sim Hye...

You're lying to me
because you're feeling guilty, aren't you?

Don't pretend to be a detective.

Excuse me, Ms. Jang Mi-h*.

You should've just dug into her past.

If you knew what you'd done to Yu-jin,

you wouldn't have come to find me

to ask about her.

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb
and don't ever come here again.

If you do, I'll gouge your eyes out.

Ms. Sim. Wait.

Wait, Ms. Sim.

- How dare you come in here!
- What did I do to her?

What else do I need to know?

What on earth am I not aware of?

You've lived such an easy life,
haven't you?

Like a flower in a greenhouse.

Do you really want to know?

This is the room that Yu-jin used
for about two years

after she graduated from high school.

She lived like a rat in this shabby room.

Thanks to somebody.

Yu-jin lived here?

Why are you playing dumb?

That mom of yours

abused her like a dog
and threw her out like trash.

That's absurd.

When did my mom do that?

You're the one
who abandoned Yu-jin for a man.

That's ridiculous.

Who told you that? Your mom?

She's unscrupulous to the end.

The one who had an affair with my husband

was your mom.

As if abusing my daughter wasn't enough,

she even went around saying such bullshit?

Hold on. What are you talking about?

She had an affair with your husband?

How could you not know?

Your mom and Yu-jin's dad

were having an affair
before they got remarried.

Don't lie to me.

Do you know how I started this place?

With the money Yu-jin's dad
gave me as alimony.

Why do you think such a stingy man
gave me such a large sum?

You're a teacher,
so you must know very well

that education can't change
the temperament you inherited.

You know that her mom ran off
with a younger man, right?

Mom.

What did you just say?

How dare you interrupt
grown-ups' conversation.

Yu-jin knew what was going on, at least.

What about you?

Why did you come here?

You ruined my life.

I just need you gone.

Go!

I'm going to tell everyone.
I'm going to tell everything!

You didn't know?

Don't be absurd.

You could've known if you wanted to.

- Her dad's business went under.
- Where are your bankbooks?

Where are your bankbooks?

Search more thoroughly.

Where is he?

When Yu-jin was harassed by creditors...

It's me.

Mi-h*.

Mi-h*, it's me.

She called you.

Don't you remember?

I never got her calls. I didn't know.

Ignorance is a sin too.

What's this?

You shouldn't take in
someone else's children.

Did you not learn from me?

That blood isn't going anywhere.

I must've been here quite a while.

I have so much stuff.

No. Everything will fit in a suitcase.

Hyeon-suk doesn't need to come.
Just you, Jin-suk.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Is your daughter coming tomorrow?

Of course.

I told her not to, but she insisted.

Being discharged is not a big deal.

Why would you inconvenience
your busy daughter?

She's not that busy.

Besides, her mom's being discharged.
What could be more important than that?

What are you doing here without notice?

What's wrong with you? Hey.

Mi-h*. Jang Mi-h*.

Mi-h*.

Stop. Stop!

Stop!

How dare you!

How dare you do that to me!

Mom.

It's not true, right?

What is not true?

Mom.

You two weren't having an affair

before stepdad got divorced, right?

So it is true.

It is.

How could you do that?

How could you lie and say
Yu-jin's mom had an affair

when you and stepdad were
the ones who did it?

What are you talking about?

Where did you hear something so absurd?

I never did that.

And you call yourself human?

How could you be so shameless?

You and I are offenders to Yu-jin.

I heard that you gave 300,000 won
to Yu-jin and left

when she was chased by creditors.

After abandoning her like that,

how could you say
such a thing about Yu-jin?

It's not true!

I've lived my whole life
without knowing what I did to Yu-jin.

What about Yu-jin?
Why are you only on my case?

You two are not the same.

Why is she like this only to me
and not to you?

You really don't know?

Let go.

I'll carry it for you.

Hey. Your mom is the one
who ran off with a man.

Do you know what I did to Yu-jin?

How could you not tell me anything?

You really don't know

why I did it?

It's all because of you.

To protect you, my precious daughter.

There's no mom
who wants to see her child get hurt!

You always blame someone else.

Now...

Forget it.

You knew Yu-jin stayed with her mom after
she graduated from high school, right?

What happened?

Answer me.

What else happened?

Are you threatening your own mother?

How could you be like this to me?

After what I've been through to raise you!

Mom!

Help! Mom!

Do you know what this is?

Right. You'd play dumb even if you knew.

But I will find out
even if you never tell me.

What this is

and what happened to Yu-jin.

When did she come here?

It was about a month or two ago.

You sent it on December 4th, right?

It's the key that
Yu-jin left with me last time.

I don't know what it opens either.

HARDWARE STORE

Is anybody here?

Hello, sir.

Do you know what kind of key this is?

Isn't this a key to
an apartment storage locker?

Is it?

Yes. I remember it because I went
to pick a lock there once.

I think the locker number fell off here.

Thank you. Thank you so much, sir.

OPEN

Building 151, Unit 1004.

Where is it?

Mr. Kang Do-jun. You need to be questioned
as a suspect in the m*rder of Oh Yu-jin.


Please come to the station.

INCOMING CALL
SIM HYE-JUNG

Damn it.

- What is it this time?
- What the hell is that key?

Why is she so desperately
trying to find out about it?


Mind your own business.
It has nothing to do with you.

I shouldn't have sent it back.

I should've found out what it was.

Maybe I agreed to keep my mouth shut
at too cheap a price.

- Look...
- The person

who brought the package to Yu-jin's house.

Who is it?

Who was there that day?

Is it your accom...

Shut up!

You made money using your daughter's life!

If you call me about this once again,

I will k*ll you without anyone knowing!

CONTACTS

Do you know how messed up things are now
because you left the package?


WHAT ABOUT YOU?
YOU SHOULD'VE KEPT YOUR PROMISE.

I DIDN'T STAY SILENT FOR THIS.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE GRATEFUL
AND RETURN THE FAVOR?

This little...

What are you talking about? You're the one
who should return the favor.


YOU k*lled YU-JIN.

OOO_YOOJIN UPLOADED PICTURES.

It's just me and my husband tonight.

The kids are camping for the night,

so we will spend a quiet night together.

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

We didn't find any records of her
being diagnosed with those symptoms.

I think you have another intention.

Do you think she would've admitted

to having mental problems?

The case is going to be dismissed?

It looks like it'll be hard to continue
unless there's new evidence.

Do you think it was a coincidence
that this package was stolen

on that day at that time?

She could be a witness or an accomplice.

Why? Are you going to confess?

A confession of another suspect.

Ms. Hwang has two cell phones?

Ms. Hwang.

What do you mean
Su-bin and Oh Yu-jin met up often?

Maybe Su-bin had

something to do with that woman's death.

Do you know why Yu-jin died?

Without my help,

you'll never figure out anything.

Do you want me to tell you the truth?

Will you be able to handle it?
