[My Happy Ending]
I got it!
What?
Huh?
[Episode 11] I was tricked.
[Episode 11] I told you to be patient.
Grandpa, this is what they mean by fishing a lifetime away, right?
My goodness...
That's right.
The person who said that phrase first
must've been someone who couldn't catch a fish.
Yes, yes.
Oh? I got one.
Oh, hey, hey!
- You got it! - Wow.
I wish Mom and Dad were here, too.
Why? Do you not like Grandpa?
No. Of course I do. You're the best.
Aigoo, thank you.
Okay, do you want to try again?
Okay.
All right.
When will I catch one?
I wonder what I'll catch this time. Aigoo...
[Dereve]
Hello.
Hello, CEO.
- Hello. - Hello.
Welcome, CEO.
[CEO Kwon Yoon Jin]
Ms. Seo, it's time to take medicine.
[Seclusion room: A confined ward to prevent a patient from causing harm to themselves or others]
What's your name?
Seo Jae Won.
[Seo Jae Won] Okay.
Let me give you the medicine.
Let me check if it went through.
Could you say "ah"?
Hello, Minister.
Welcome.
Congratulations on being appointed as a minister.
Thank you. Have a seat.
The fact that Seo Jae Won resigned and admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital
appears to have been a good thing for Dereve.
I'm thinking of changing Dereve's image using this opportunity.
There are two CEOs. I'm sure you'll do a good job.
Thank you, Minister.
I heard you'll be the artist for Dereve's project.
Finish it up well and get to know the high-ups at the company.
It's your company from now on, too.
I don't think the company would be so thrilled.
That'll prove your competence.
You have CEO Park. Make sure to discuss things with him.
Let's call it a day today.
Oh, okay.
I'll see myself out, then.
How's Seo Jae Won?
What could she do while trapped in a psychiatric ward?
Don't worry so much.
We need to find her.
It was just some audio file.
You acted too rashly.
If that were revealed,
we wouldn't be where we are now.
Do you understand?
Is the ward treating you okay?
Yes, yes.
Have you had the urge to cause self-harm again?
No, no. I haven't.
Could you tell me what happened that day again?
The day you found out about your husband's affair,
you had a fall at the Han River, correct?
Was it a mistake because you were drunk?
Considering the height of the railing, it's difficult to fall
by mistake, even though you were drunk.
I wasn't alone that day.
Someone followed me and threatened me.
Who was that?
- I didn't get to see the face. - Was the face covered?
I don't remember that.
Wasn't it Baek Seung Gyu who had a falling accident recently?
If you fell due to a threat, why didn't you notify the police immediately?
Because I didn't want it to get blown out of proportion. At the time, I...
suspected it was my father,
husband, or one of my colleagues.
I completely understand your suspicion, considering the circumstances, but...
Was there something you noticed about the culprit at the time?
What was their body type?
What were they wearing? Do you not remember that, either?
That's interesting.
You remember the incident,
but you can't remember what the culprit looked like.
Let's move on.
How did you acquire the medicine?
It must've been impossible to get without a prescription.
I heard you talked about Dr. Jo Su Gyeong.
Is she related, by chance?
Su Gyeong is-
You're referring to her casually.
Because she's my long-time friend.
By chance, can you still...
see Dr. Jo Su Gyeong?
It's difficult to fall by mistake.
What was their body type?
What were they wearing?
I'll draw blood to monitor drug levels.
You remember the incident,
but you can't remember what the culprit looked like.
It's okay.
Did you have a nightmare again?
What's wrong, Jae Won?
Are you sure you're okay?
Looks like you're having a hard time.
How are you feeling today?
I feel fine.
Did you have a nightmare last night, too?
Yes.
Why do you think you keep having the same dream?
The fact that you have repetitive dreams about the situation you were in
must be because you're reminding yourself of some unresolved issues.
Think about it.
Maybe you've been avoiding it
without facing it directly all this time.
Why do you think you keep having the same dream?
Have you had the urge to cause self-harm again?
Jae Won, do you remember when we were in middle school?
♫ Even if I try to take it out, it's scattered through the empty darkness ♫
♫ I wanna know ♫
♫ You blow in ♫
Yun Jin!
♫ I wanna know ♫
♫ I'm not okay, I can't feel your touch. ♫
♫ In the wave of memory surging over the end ♫
♫ I'm not okay, I can't hear your voice. ♫
♫ I picture us who are only in my dream ♫
♫ I will cling to it ♫
♫ On the truth, which is harsh, the aborted ending ♫
♫ Will you also look back at us from then sometimes? ♫
♫ I wanna know. You blow in. ♫
Why don't you tell me now?
I have no clue.
I thought I escaped it,
but why am I still inside the dark tunnel?
♫ I'm not okay, I can't hear your voice ♫
♫ I draw us who are only in my dream ♫
♫ I'm left alone in the dark ♫
♫ I'm searching for the light which is you ♫
What have I been fooling myself for?
Maybe I turned myself into a monster
to escape from reality.
♫ I'm not okay, I can't hear your voice ♫
♫ I draw us who are only in my dream ♫
I'm a patient who was admitted here six times due to alcohol addiction.
My family recommended the last times...
I was actually forced, but...
For the first time, I...
volunteered to admit myself.
My wife divorced me, my children left,
and I was violent to my mother, too.
I came here because I wanted to become a human before I turned into an animal.
That's all.
Thank you.
Should we hear from Ms. Seo Jae Won next?
I...
have had manic depressive disorder for a long time.
I've had it for so long that I don't even remember when it started.
And throughout that long time,
I've been hiding it from everyone.
Even from my husband.
I didn't want my family to be hurt due to my condition.
Could you wrap this for me?
Okay.
Is it true that Seo Jae Won was admitted to a psychiatric hospital?
She looked fine on TV.
I don't know how she fooled everyone completely.
Who's raising the kid, then? The father is dead and gone, too.
Gosh, I just pity the kid.
- Here's your change. - Oh, yes.
- Thank you. Good luck with your business. - Yes, take care.
What would she do now that her parents are gone...
Isn't this Seo Jae Won's daughter?
It is.
So, why did you paint her?
By chance...
is it due to affection, guilt, or something like that?
Mr. Nam, are you happy with your life right now?
Seriously.
Why are you asking that suddenly?
I heard you lost your wife's hospital money through gambling.
You heard that fairytale somewhere.
It's something completely meaningless from the past.
Your gambling partner from your meaningless past
was Seo Jae Won's mother,
Jeong Mi Hyang?
You know more than necessary.
How long will you devote yourself to such an empty pleasure?
Pleasure?
Pleasure...
The one who can truly realize what you want
is neither Seo Jae Won nor my father.
You'll realize my dream?
A rich girl like you?
Is that all you think of me?
I'm so disappointed.
Would you be able to handle it?
I think you already made up your mind.
We have guests.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
Nice to meet you.
This is my sister, whom I said I'll bring along.
Oh, okay. Welcome. Good to see you.
Well, we were both adopted.
Oh, I see. Your parents are great people.
Thank you.
Hi.
It's tasty.
What's this?
Gamju?
Oh? You speak Korean?
I actually speak Korean a little.
Oh, really?
How old are you?
I'm seven.
What's your name?
Ah Rin.
Ah Rin?
I'm glad they're getting along better than expected.
I know.
They need to grow close quickly. This is great.
Sir, about what I mentioned last time-
I know what you're talking about.
I think that's the right thing to do, too.
My parents in the US will take good care of her.
Is my Jae Won doing well?
Yes.
Scissors. Paper. Shoot.
I won.
Rock. Scissors. Paper. Shoot.
I had a psychiatrist friend.
I used to ask her for advice all the time.
But I'll no longer do that from now on.
Because I learned that's best for me.
I've been following a routine these days.
I take a walk every day, take medicine on time, and read, too.
I think I have a lot of things to do once I get discharged.
So, I've been making plans and doing things little by little.
I think I did the right thing to come here.
Thank you.
Ms. Seo, let's move to a different ward.
Okay.
He's here to see Ms. Seo Jae Won.
Take him to the visiting room.
Okay. Come this way.
I want to get out. I don't want to be here!
Let me go!
I was worried a lot.
You look at ease.
Have you been well?
What do you think?
You look good.
That's it?
Seriously...
Have you eaten?
Of course.
The food is very good here.
Especially their rolled omelet is good.
Gosh, I'm really good at making rolled omelets.
Is there anything you're not good at?
Not much is going on, right?
I saw Ah Rin before I came here today.
How pretty.
My Ah Rin is so pretty.
Rachel met Ah Rin now, too.
That's great.
Don't you miss her?
What about the thing you brought me?
[Captivating Design] Please keep observing.
You never know what Kwon Yun Jin and Kwon Yeong Ik would do.
You're back again.
Oh, yes.
I haven't seen my daughter in a while.
I wanted to give her a surprise gift.
I'm sure she'd be thrilled.
Right?
Wow, is this where you live?
Pretty cool, right?
I want to visit the US, too.
You can go if you want.
- Do you want to come with me? - Really?
No.
Grandpa won't let me.
Should I try begging?
I need to ask my mom, too.
But I can't see her for now.
Let me help you.
Deal.
[Heo, a famous entrepreneur's husband, died. The cause of death is being investigated.]
[Kwon Yeong Ik was appointed as the new minister of the Ministry of Culture]
[Autopsy report]
What's your name?
Seo Jae Won.
Let me check if they went down.
[Investigation report for the pesticide intake case at a closed factory in 2023]
[Seoul Yongsan Police Station]
Here's your lunch medicine, Ms. Seo Jae Won.
- What's your name? - Seo Jae Won.
Ah Rin.
Hi.
Who are you?
What?
Don't you remember me?
I'm your mom's friend.
We've seen each other a few times before.
I guess I've seen you before...
I brought...
a present for you, Ah Rin.
Pardon?
I wasn't sure what you'd like,
but you like Mimi dolls.
Yes, I like Mimi dolls.
Ah Rin,
I'll give you my phone number.
Could you call me if anything happens?
I'll run to you anytime you call me.
Ah Rin!
- Grandpa! - Yes.
Do you know how much I worried?
You left without a word.
Well, the thing is...
It's because...
I asked her to come with me.
I'll talk to her for a moment. Go on home first.
- Okay. - Okay.
Why are you with Ah Rin?
Because she's my best friend's daughter.
I was worried.
Don't ever meet Ah Rin again.
I won't let you hurt Jae Won anymore.
Jae Won isn't the only one who got hurt.
I'll get going now.
Drive safely.
I didn't think Kwon Yun Jin would come all the way here.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be apologizing for that.
I really need to let Ah Rin go now.
I don't think we can delay it any longer.
Shit, why did you follow me in here?
I heard a new detective will be in charge of the Heo Sun Yeong case.
Yes. It's no longer my case.
Who do you think they'll assign it to?
Detective Oh Su Jin.
Oh Su Jin?
You mean the Oh Su Jin that I know?
Yes.
Geez, f***. How annoying.
Wow. Why did they put this on the main page? It's not a big deal.
Did you see this, too?
Detective Park, did you see this? [Lieutenant Oh Su Jin of the Cold Case Team arrested the murderer of a bar owner from 15 years ago]
Did you see this, Team Leader?
This is a major case.
I want you to take it since you like attention.
I don't like attention that much.
[Investigation report for the pesticide intake case at a closed factory in 2023]
Heo Sun Yeong?
Heo Sun Yeong.
The audio file Sun Yeong left behind...
is probably with Seo Jae Won.
Please look into that quietly.
So, the Minister doesn't know, either?
- Quietly. - I know.
I know.
I heard a new detective will be in charge of the Heo Sun Yeong case.
- So? - Her name is Oh Su Jin.
She's not an easy one.
I think you'll have to be careful.
Wow. Your hunch was right, CEO Kwon.
They're quicker than I expected.
Hold on.
You expected this already,
and they moved accordingly?
That means you both knew.
What's this?
Did you want Seo Jae Won's daughter?
She was mine from the beginning.
I see.
She has two moms, then.
One of them will have to disappear.
[International Boarding]
Hello?
I'm sorry, Dad.
I should've been there.
What are you talking about?
You just need to focus on yourself, Jae Won.
Grandpa!
Hold on.
- Ah Rin. - Yes?
Mom wants to hear your voice before you leave.
Hello?
Mom!
Ah Rin, did you get to the airport safely?
Yes.
Are you okay, Mom?
I missed you.
I'm sorry.
Ah Rin, for us to be together for a long time,
I think we need to be separated for a bit now.
Okay.
I'll be back soon.
You're so cheerful, my Ah Rin.
Take good care of yourself and
listen to what Unni says.
The most important thing is...
for you to be happy. You know, right?
Yes.
You should recover from your illness while I'm gone, too.
Promise, okay?
Okay.
When I see you again,
I'll...
be in very good health.
You promised, okay?
Ah Rin, Mom loves you.
I love you, too.
Te Oh.
Ah Rin, we need to go in now.
I'll call you, Mom.
- Okay. - Bye.
Please take good care of her.
Don't hang up and watch.

On Hot Issue Today,
we'll show how Seo Jae Won is doing after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
- Reporter Choi. - Yes.
Seo Jae Won was charged with her husband's murder,
but she was released due to lack of evidence.
In the process, the fact that she was manic-depressive was revealed and shocked everyone.
She's currently being treated at a secluded ward, as we understand.
I think we should discuss her husband who got murdered.
Even though this was a case the whole country was focusing on,
they still haven't found the culprit yet.
The police, who were in charge of the investigation at the time,
was focusing on the relationship between the two.
[Visiting Room]
You came early.
We have a flexible working schedule.
Why did you come today?
I told you last time.
Kwon Yeong Ik hired the most desired government workers in their 20s or 30s
and he's trying to get nominated to join the National Assembly.
It's a very pretty key.
By the way,
isn't a key without a good use just a nuisance?
Of course.
You're so witty, Minister Kwon.
Thank you.
You said Seung Gyu's finger moved recently, right?
Yes.
The doctor said it could've been just a momentary movement,
but we'll keep an eye on him.
How are things at the company?
Good. I feel a sense of achievement, too.
Just keep at it like that.
Make sure you don't affect what I do.
I heard you've been keeping Nam Tae Ju close to you lately.
I can manage him.
Nothing good will come out of getting involved with him too much.
Baek Seung Gyu's case is already a handful.
You're not mentioning Sun Yeong's case.
It's better to keep him near me.
I'll control him myself.
You're coming in late.
Did you stop by to see Jae Won?
Say hello back, at least.
Hello, CEO Kwon Yun Jin.
I'm still grateful to you, Team Leader Yun.
Because you decided to stay and not leave.
Carry on, then.
How's the new medicine?
Have you experienced any side effects?
No.
We reduced the dose a lot, and you became very stable, too.
Looks like you can get discharged now.
Thank you.
Make sure to keep taking the medicine.
Okay.
Hello.
Could I speak with you for a moment?
The weather's nice today.
Did you go out for a walk?
What did you come here for?
I'm Detective Oh Su Jin, newly assigned to the Heo Sun Yeong case.
I'm here to ask a few questions for the reinvestigation.
You came to the wrong person.
I would've thought that if you didn't come to the psychiatric ward to be treated.
I heard you were in a deep sleep in the car after taking medicine when Mr. Heo died.
But did you know this?
The smartwatch Mr. Heo was wearing says his heart stopped at 1:42 a.m.
But according to our autopsy record, it happened between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Yes.
You're not surprised.
Did you know this, then?
The day before he died, he visited Kim Sang Beom, the CEO of SB Medical
and swung his fist at him. Did you know?
I guess you didn't know that.
[Two months ago]
Are you curious why I'm doing this?
Go ask your husband, then.
He knows better than anyone.
We found pesticide in the water bottle in the vehicle.
Mr. Heo Sun Yeong was poisoned.
Sun Yeong left this with me.
Seung Gyu fell from the rooftop.
Ms Seo.
- Are you not interested? - Are you satisfied with your current pay?
I'll supplement it if it's not enough.
Ami?
What's that, anyway?
This is your method.
You scrape everything and run away if you can't handle it.
You did that when you were 15,
and seven years ago, too.
CEO Seo, are you okay?
You have everything.
What I don't have,
the things I've wanted,
I'm sorry...
and everything I used to have, too.
Kwon Yun Jin attempted suicide seven years ago.
I think she had a miscarriage.
- Smile, smile. - Okay.
We're almost there. Almost there.
Sun Yeong was looking for his daughter's biological father before he died.
[Client A and C are not related since their STR in the DNAs don't match]
You killed Sun Yeong, didn't you?
I know you're very sick,
but be careful what you say.
Who killed whom, exactly?
I got all of my memories back.
Then, you also must know now.
Sun Yeong and I used to love each other-
You're leaving tomorrow. Did you already finish packing?
Yes.
This is the last time I will give you the medicine.
Let me check if they went down.
Yes, good job.
What do you want to do when you get out?
Is there anything you want to do?
There isn't anything I want to do.
I just...
want to be done with everything and see my daughter.
Thank you for agreeing to do this interview, Minister.
I should be thanking you.
Did you find the hearing tiring at all?
A lot has happened to you lately, as you know.
It's okay to be direct with it.
I've indeed been going through a lot regarding CEO Seo Jae Won.
It was more sad than shocking to me.
Why couldn't she take care of herself sooner?
I've become more attentive to people around me, thanks to her.
I can sense how thoughtful you are.
I'd like to ask CEO Kwon a question this time.
You're working as both the co-CEO of Dereve and an artist.
People often compare you to Ms. Seo, the founder and CEO.
Does that make you feel pressured at all?
Not at all.
I actually like it.
It's fun to disapprove of the arguments one by one.
CEO Seo made great achievements, as you know.
Yes.
♫ The night you left ♫
♫ I followed your footsteps ♫
♫ I wonder how we'll be and where we'll end up ♫
♫ We'll probably dance ♫
♫ La-la-la-la-la-la-la ♫
♫ Without any thoughts ♫
♫ We'll probably dance ♫
♫ La-la-la-la-la-la-la ♫
♫ Holding each other's hands ♫
♫ As if each day is our last day ♫
How strange.
It's not like I never got to see you.
But this feels different.
I'm back. That's why.
You're really back, Ms. Seo Jae Won.
What? You're unemployed now.
Well, do I have to call you my ex-CEO?
- Or just Seo Jae Won? - You're pushing it.
You're pushing it.
♫ At that place ♫
♫ We'll probably dance ♫
Seo Jae Won.
♫ Holding each other's hands ♫
I want to keep calling your name now that you're in front of me.
Do you need a job, by chance?
Are you interested in working for Dereve?
Think carefully. I'm scouting you right now.
I refuse.
You'll regret it forever if you refuse now.
I've heard that before somewhere.
I thought it'd be just for a moment...
but a lot of things changed.
We need to bring it back.
♫ Putting the stars to sleep ♫
Drink something refreshing since you're here.
Please don't mind the mess in here.
[Nam Tae Ju. A Police Officer took a bribe.]
[Kim Sang Beom clinical test]
You were more serious than I thought.
Te Oh, while I was in the hospital,
there hasn't been a day I forgot...
that my husband died.
That Ah Rin no longer has someone she can call a dad in this world.
And I'm responsible for him ending up that way.
I'll forget everything now.
So, I don't forget one thing.
- I'll also- - Will you join me?
Pardon?
I'm asking you to help me.
Of course.
I should help you.
You might get hurt a lot.
You know I've already saved you many times.
I'll no longer be the person you've known.
You are a woman with many layers.
I'm sorry...
that I'm a selfish person.
Did you know...
that I'm a pilgrim who was saved by an angel long ago?
No big deal. I might as well go on the pilgrimage.
What will you do if you find the culprit?
You already have an idea who it is.
What more do you want to know?
Jae Won, do you think you're cured by chance?
You still have nightmares.
And you still hallucinate.
Am I wrong?
Are you okay?
Well, I didn't get hit in the face that much.
I can cover it with the sunglasses.
How have you been enduring it?
It must've been so hard.
Let's talk like human beings! Okay?
Why can't you understand what I'm saying?
I told you not to talk to another man.
You've still got it, huh?
This is no good. Let me beat you more.
Why are you staring at me? I know you aren't much better.
I decided after reading the honest letter you wrote me.
To destroy that Kim Sang Beom bastard.
You appear to be a strong person.
I guess you're different than me.
I'm not different.
Here's the evidence that Kim Sang Beom's company manipulated the clinical trials.
I'm sorry...
for getting you involved in something difficult.
I'm sad that you're saying that.
I thought I jumped in myself.
Do you have evidence?
Do you have evidence that I manipulated the clinical trial result?
We received a report.
What's your name?
You're just a public prosecutor. How dare you try to intimidate me?
I'll remember you.
I'll go after you as soon as I get out.
I was told CEO Kim Sang Beom is being investigated by the prosecution
for manipulating the clinical trial result.
[XB Medical]
How should I take care of this?
He's not exactly good at keeping his mouth shut.
I'll take care of it.
You checked the transfer conditions, right?
Let's stamp the seals, then.
I'm selling because I have a situation.
Consider yourself very lucky.
[Stock transfer agreement]
Guess who's behind Dereve?
Never mind.
You seized an incredible opportunity just so you know.
How long will you be abroad?
Are you sure you're coming back?
Don't curse my future like that.
I'll come back soon. I'll be back immediately.
Of course, the young master won't have any issues.
Don't call me that. I'm the crown prince.
Oh, okay.
- Crown prince? - You're no crown prince.
Think about it carefully.
Just think about it. How dare you say you...
You're the biggest problem, bastard.
Seriously.
- How many did you drink with ice already? - Come on, seriously.
I award the ones who work hard, and I'll be awarded since I worked hard, too.
You should also work hard to be awarded.
I worked hard, too. Who's awarding me, huh?
Here's your award.
But you can't come back here.
Bye-bye.
Hey, hey, hey. I said I'll do that. Let me.
- Come on. - I know you won't.
This is the crown prince's treat.
Drink up!
Let's have fun!
Feeling good...
Geez, come on...
Gosh, feeling good. Geez...
- I called a driver. - I'm so drunk.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
Hold on.
Here's the car key.
The car is around the corner.
Goodbye now, Hyungnim.
- Be good. Wait. - Okay.
Thank you!
Shit...
[For Kwon Yun Jin's new beginning]
Looks like you're all better.
I didn't know you'd be here.
I had to come.
I wanted to see the Minister, too.
Everything's good, right?
Let's cut to the chase.
Say it here?
Do you want me to get you a stage or something?
The first time I felt certain was at the police station.
You did it, didn't you?
Wait just a moment.
It won't take long.
♫ I could fly to the moon ♫
♫ I could fly to the star ♫

♫ I could fly to the moon ♫
♫ I could fly to the star ♫

♫ Following a darkened path, I walked aimlessly and just like that ♫

♫ I'm standing at the crossroads ♫
[My Happy Ending]
Isn't what we're planning too dangerous?
We can't drag them outside if we don't do that.
You didn't know Kwon Yun Jin's alibi was false?
Good morning. Isn't this considered excellent?
You know what today is, right?
You'll have to make a decision beforehand.
Whether to protect the minister position or your daughter.
How could you do this to me?
Whose side is Nam Tae Ju on?
Baek Seung Gyu. Where did you hide him?
You knew I'd come, but you don't know why I came.
