[My Happy Ending]
[Episode 1]
♫ I really want to stay in your mind ♫
♫ In a small space ♫
♫ Wherever it might be ♫
♫ Just like spring that sprung after winter ♫
♫ Just like stars in dark sky ♫
♫ I promise you ♫
♫ I'll always be with you ♫
♫ If you cry, I'll make you smile ♫
♫ I'll always be waiting for you here ♫
♫ The rest of my life ♫ [Dereve]
[Furniture that was made smart by family]
[Three days before the accident]
We'll start the interview.
Could you introduce yourself first?
Hello, I'm Seo Jae Won.
Hello.
I'm the CEO and designer of the life furniture brand, Dereve.
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Yes.
Why can't you meet the due date? The order was made long ago.
I didn't call to hear your excuse.
[May 13, 2023]
I hope I don't have to call you about this again.
It has to be by the 15th. Okay.
[CEO Seo Jae Won]
Did you stay up all night again?
No. I slept a bit.
What time is the buyer meeting today?
We have to leave in 10 minutes.
How about the final proposal for the online ad?
Here you go.
What do you think?
You always look great.
It doesn't sound like you mean it.
I'll work on it.
Did anyone contact me?
Professor Heo called earlier
and asked if he should report you missing since you left for work 60 hours ago.
I might actually get kicked out soon at this rate.
What's that?
Well, this is...
I didn't think I should get rid of it myself.
[Cheering on Seo Jae Won's new beginning. - Amy]
She's been quiet for a while, but here we go again.
Throw it away.
The car is ready. Do you want to leave now?
No, give me just five minutes.
[For headache]
Be careful.
I need to start over if even one drop gets splattered on.
- Did you bring the brushes? - Yes.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
It looks great, Ms. Kwon.
You came.
Don't you think the colors pop too much?
It's exactly as I wanted.
The lobby will feel totally different if we get a work of art there.
I'm jealous.
Everyone gives up on their dream to make a living.
But you're still doing fine art.
But I don't make any money.
You know my hunch is always correct, right?
You'll become successful soon.
Thank you. This is why friends are the best.
I really mean it.
Don't be a stranger once you become famous.
Gosh. I don't think the famous CEO Seo Jae Won
should be telling me that.
When will you do a housewarming party, by the way?
You moved more than three months ago.
I haven't even unpacked yet since I've been working here and teaching the class.
Are you hiding a man at home, by chance?
Maybe I am.
It's a good one this time, right?
Let me tell you something as someone who's married.
Younger men are nice.
Gosh, whatever. You'd better leave now.
Please leave, CEO.
- Carry on. - Take care.
Ms. Seo. Here's the contract.
Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Jae Won Seo.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Wow, that's good.
So good. So good.
There's a bit of a traffic because everyone's leaving work.
Where should we take you, Ms. Seo?
Hold on.
- Honey. - Aigoo.
It looks like you're alive, at least.
Sorry. I've been busy attending meetings and photoshoots.
Bang!
Ah Rin, I'll be right there.
Hold on. I'll put Ah Rin on the phone.
Hey, Ah Rin. It's Mom. It's Mom.
Hi.
- Ah Rin. - Mom.
Are you having fun, Ah Rin?
Where are you, by the way?
I'm at Grandpa's to celebrate his birthday.
The cake and present arrived okay, right?
They did, but...
It would've been nice if you could've joined us on a day like this. Right?
Forgive me just this once.
Ah Rin!
Grandpa!
Hold on. Father's here.
Aigoo, aigoo. You came, Ah Rin.
- Hello. - Hey.
What brings you here without notice?
It's your birthday today.
I came to make you seaweed soup.
Aigoo. It must've been difficult to come this far.
This old man's birthday isn't so important.
How about Jae Won?
Jae Won is...
right here.
Hey.
I sincerely wish you a happy birthday, Dad.
Thank you, my daughter.
I'm sorry I can't visit often.
I'm very busy at work.
You're the most successful entrepreneur in Korea. Of course, you're busy.
I'm okay.
You're in good health, right?
Yes, of course.
Don't worry about me, and get to work.
You must be busy. Let's hang up.
- Okay. - Excuse me for a second, Father.
Sure, sure.
All right...
I'll make him a birthday feast. Don't worry so much.
Thank you, Honey...
for taking good care of my dad.
At least you know.
And please thank Secretary Kim for me.
See you later.
He got me.
Should we take you to the office?
No. I'll go home today.
Should we talk about Dereve's philosophy?
I'm not sure if you can call it a philosophy,
but since I first started the company 13 years ago to this day,
the driving force for me was my family,
colleagues, and friends by my side.
So, it made me think...
I want to create a space that makes
my loved ones happy, not just functionality or ease of use.
That's what we value the most.
Are you okay, Ms. Seo?
I'm sorry. The car in the front suddenly cut in.
What are these people thinking?
I'm okay. Let's just go.
Okay.
How long will it take to get home?
Ms. Kim?
I think there's an issue at work.
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Did Team Leader Yoon leave?
Well, the thing is...
I don't think he left yet,
but he said he'd step out for work for a sec-
Are you looking for me?
Let's talk for a second, Mr. Yoon.
What's going on?
What's the problem, exactly?
Let's delay the product release first.
We can't.
Since this is Dereve's first appliance, there have been ads and interviews.
Do you know how much we've been spending on marketing?
I said it'd be difficult from the beginning.
Who's the one who rushed it?
You came up with the final design.
Back when it was wireless without the LAN port.
It's not bad the way it is.
Is "not bad" good enough?
What happened to the one who said only the perfect designs survive?
You told me once...
that you want to be called a designer rather than a CEO.
Are you saying that as the designer Seo Jae Won?
No. I'm saying it as your boss.
I guess you don't know since you grew up in the US.
There's a saying like this in Korea.
"Do it if I say so."
Is that right?
But I know this.
In Korea, they call people who say that a "geezer."
You've come a long way.
My Korean still isn't so good.
That was a compliment, right?
- Yes, Ms. Seo. - Tell Director Park to come in.
We'll rethink the home camera release date.
Thank you. I can't go home again, thanks to you.
Don't mention it.
I'll leave now, then.
You're going home after making me work late?
Yes. I have a date.
See you tomorrow.
Te Oh!
You told me once...
that you want to be called a designer rather than a CEO.
Ms. Seo.
Have a seat.
Here are the files.
You can go home now.
I'll leave, then.
Thank you.
Has there been a crisis while running the company for over a decade?
What was the most difficult moment?
Thinking back now,
I feel like every moment was a crisis.
But the most difficult one was... [The Year's Best Brand Awards]
when things rushed in like a storm when I didn't expect them to at all.
[The Year's Best Brand Awards]
[Don't forgive the one who betrayed your trust]
Yes, this is 911.
I want to report something.
This is...
Where are you located, ma'am?
Hello?
Hello? Ma'am, if it's difficult to say something...
Ma'am?
Ma'am.
Is someone in there?
Over here!
Ms. Seo, is something wrong?
Over here!
[Dereve]
Ms. Seo.
Here.
How long have you been stalked?
I think it's been about seven years.
Has he come to see you like this before?
No. It's mostly been texts or emails.
He has sent gifts occasionally,
but this is the first time he has come to the office.
The CCTVs in the office and lobby were undergoing a routine test. So they didn't record.
Did you know about this?
Yes. They notified us through the company emails.
That means the entire staff here could be suspects.
Is there someone you've been suspicious of?
Would you be able to catch him?
Are you okay?
You came.
I'm sorry I called you so late.
You'll have to attend the design conference tomorrow in my place.
- I asked if you were okay. - I'm fine, as you can see.
It's an important presentation. Study everything before tomorrow.
- Did you get hurt at all? - No.
Did you see their face?
Is there anyone you're suspicious of?
That means the entire staff here could be suspects.
What do you think?
At the company, has there been...
Never mind.
Let's leave together. I'll drive you home.
I have a meeting early in the morning. I need to check out the stores, too.
Are you thinking of working in a situation like this?
Making sure nothing gets affected at times like this is my priority.
I'll be at my desk. Call me if you need help.
Aren't you going home?
You made me work. You expect me to go home?
[May 14th, 2023]
- Hello, Ms. Seo. - Hello.
Hello.
How are the new products being received?
People love them.
We have had more customers lately. We get a lot of phone inquiries, too.
Ms. Seo Jae Won.
I'll get you someone if you need something, sir.
I wanted to talk to Ms. Seo.
Who are you?
Your mother's name is Jeong Mi Hyang, right?
Wow. It's not easy to meet you since you're so famous.
[Hyeonwon Life Insurance: Inspector Nam Tae Joo] I called you and visited the office several times.
You came because of my mom, did you say?
She signed up for one of our plans before she passed.
Her husband, Mr. Seo Chang Seok, collected the payment when she passed.
You knew, right?
My father might've told me once.
He told you how much it was, too?
I told him to use it since it's not that much.
Wow. You're generous since you're a CEO.
Five hundred million won isn't much money?
Your mother died from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, correct?
Did she have any existing conditions when she was alive?
Don't you investigate that before you send the payout?
We do, but...
Let's get to the point.
I'll be honest with you.
There was something we missed while investigating then.
Your mother had visited the ER three times for taking pesticide before she passed.
And Mr. Seo accompanied her each time.
The hospital said she drank it by mistake each time,
but unless it was on purpose or someone gave it to her,
it's not easy to drink it by mistake three times.
Don't you think?
So?
I think...
- Mr. Seo Chang Seok- - You're wrong.
You're so sure.
Because he's my father.
Right. He's your father.
Do you have evidence?
To prove my father was involved?
Well, I'm looking into it.
Let me make this clear.
I won't just sit still if this gets leaked without firm evidence.
Got it.
[Grandpa, me, dad - Happy birthday ♥]
[Grandpa]
Let me tell you one last thing.
Mr. Seo isn't your biological father, is he?
According to the record, your mother remarried him in 1988.
That means he's your stepfather.
Would you like a cup, too?
That's not going to work.
I know you're jumping ahead since you came home in three days.
I just feel like I'm finally relaxing right now.
Wow, I almost fell for it.
No, no. Have a seat.
Come on.
Let's talk a bit.
What?
Something happened, didn't it?
I can just tell from your face.
What is it? Tell me.
Okay. Tell me when you feel like it.
I can wait...
no matter how long it takes.
Someone from an insurance company visited me today.
Insurance company?
My mom apparently had life insurance.
Dad received the insurance money after she passed.
She apparently went to the ER three times after taking pesticide.
- What do you mean- - According to the insurance company,
her death...
I mean, my dad-
Are you saying it has to do with him?
Come on. That makes no sense.
You know better than anyone that he won't ever do such a thing.
You're not thinking that, are you?
I don't know.
You came.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
[May 15th, 2023. The day of the accident] Princess, did you sleep well?
Yes.
Let me do it.
How's the kindergarten these days?
Are you having fun with your friends?
You know how kids play.
It's boring.
How are things with your boyfriend? Who was it?
Was it Do Yoon?
It's not Do Yoon. It's Han Gyeol. Right, Ah Rin?
Good morning. Hello, Ma'am.
Did you sleep well?
Wow. Thank you. Thank you.
What were you guys talking about?
About Ah Rin's boyfriend.
Oh, Seo Joon?
What? Did you tell her about him already?
What's that?
What? Heo Ah Rin. How many boyfriends do you have?
Being too popular is tiring.
What happened to Seo Joon? Did you dump him?
Here.
J-Jae Won.
Will you be okay? About Father, I mean.
Yes. I'll get going.
Bye.
I'll check and get back to you.
When can I receive the sample?
If so-
Are you okay?
Yes.
The door will close.
Hello? I'm sorry. I'll call you back. Yes...
Yes, Reporter Choi.
Ms. Seo, everything's okay, right?
I've been hearing bad rumors lately.
I heard there was an incident at the office a few days ago.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Don't be like that.
I heard the police came, too.
You're mistaken.
That never happened.
What's my schedule today?
There will be an interview and a new product photoshoot at the Gangnam store.
This is the promotional article to send to the press.
Call the police.
Tell them to stop investigating since it wasn't a stalker.
Pardon? Why, all of a sudden-
The article can't come out at times like this.
Got it.
That means the entire staff here could be suspects.
You came up with the final design.
[Parking Confirmation. License number: 88PA0505]
I'll stop by somewhere and go straight to the store.
Hello.
You want to remove the car now?
No, I left something in the car.
I'll need the key.
I took the wrong key.
All right.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Hello?
Where are you right now?
Why?
I'm working right now.
Please answer the phone. Please...
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Please put Soon Yeong on the phone.
He's not home right now.
He usually works out around this time.
He's probably at the gym he usually goes to.
[The Running]
Hello.
Hello. Could you call Heo Soon Yeong for me?
Just one second.
He's no longer a member here.
He stopped coming about three months ago.
Once you experience a crisis like that,
even small things make you very wary
and you can no longer trust anyone.
Even if it's someone you were sure they were on your side,
you can't just do nothing and get betrayed again.
What's wrong with me?
[Eight wedding anniversary]
[Where are you?]
I'm arriving soon.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Well...
Mr. Yoo...
Can smartwatches...
be tracked for location, too?
Well, if you have a few pieces of information.
[The Running]
The location is coming up on the map,
but it can be off by about 30 meters.
Hey, Yoon Jin.
Hey. Are you busy?
It's nothing urgent.
I just heard from Secretary Kim.
That there will be an unveiling ceremony when I finish the work.
You've been working so hard.
We should let everyone know and celebrate.
I really don't know what to say.
I'm sorry it took so long.
I should've done something like that sooner.
No. I...
I really appreciate it.
You know, right, Jae Won?
You're the only one I have.
Of course I do.
By the way, why do you sound so down?
Is something going on?
No, it's nothing.
Hello? Jae Won.
I'm sorry, Yoon Jin.
I'm sorry. Let's talk later.
Oh, okay. All right, then.
- Hey. - Ms. Seo. You're on your way, right?
I am. I won't be late.
Okay.
♫ Why would it happen? ♫
♫ Like how it all has been connected ♫
♫ Only if I don't ♫
♫ In between the empty darkness ♫

We'll shoot the online promotional video now.

♫ I'm not okay ♫
Dereve's new desk is a smart piece of furniture.

♫ Looking so sad in the dream ♫
through Bluetooth...
♫ The conclusion that had stalled along with the truth ♫
♫ Would you look back to this moment then? ♫
Ms. Seo, should we take a break?
- I'm okay. - Are you okay?
Just one second.
We'll take a 10-minute break.
♫ I'm not okay. I can feel your touch. ♫
♫ A huge wave of memories are coming in ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can hear your voice. ♫
♫ I picture us seeing each other in my dream ♫
♫ I'm left alone in darkness looking for you, the light ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can feel your touch. ♫
♫ A huge wave of memories are coming in ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can hear your voice. ♫
♫ We'll see each other in ♫
Wait.
Where are you going?
Why do you ask?
I heard you've been feeling ill throughout the interview.
I'm okay. Don't worry.
How could I not worry?
Won't you tell me what's going on-
What's wrong?
What do you mean?
Are you hiding something from me by chance?
Tell me.
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
Who the hell are you, exactly?
What are you talking about right now?
Let's go talk somewhere.
I don't want to.
My father, who worked hard to raise me.
My husband, who's been sacrificing to care for me.
And my colleagues who've been making the company grow throughout the difficult times.
I think I'm here thanks to them.
[Be careful. It's dangerous to be out alone at night.]
Are you okay?
Excuse me.
Yes. I'm okay.
W-What's going on?
The thing is...
Are you okay?
I-It's nothing.
It's nothing.
Let's circle around one more time.
Okay, got it.
I found her!
Excuse me. I got a call. I'm looking for Seo Jae Won.
Honey.
Honey. Jae Won.
What happened?
What? What's going on?
- Father. - Jae Won.
Open your eyes. Dad is here.
She didn't get injured seriously, but she's not fully conscious yet.
They need to keep an eye on her, apparently.
Gosh.
Father.
Aigoo.
What was she doing at Han River so late at night?
I know.
Ms. Seo.
Jae Won.
Honey. Are you awake now?
Ms. Seo.
Honey.
- Jae Won. - Patient Seo Jae Won woke up.
Jae Won. Look at me.
Are you awake? Look at me.
Jae Won.
Excuse me!
Aigoo. Thank you.
Lastly,
please say something to your father, husband,
and colleagues who let you be here today.
Just wait and see.
I'll let you...
also experience the hell I'm going through.

[My Happy Ending]
Find out how my mom died.
Don't neglect anything and
do it for me.
Is something going on with you lately?
Wait until I figure things out.
It shows what time he got home.
You want to believe it's not true, right?
I'm talking about our baby.
Did Yoon Jin come, too?
Where is that?
I want to stomp on him and kill him.
