[My Happy Ending]
[Characters, locales, organizations, incidents, and situations in this drama are fictitious]
Gosh, when did you prepare all this?
Just wait a bit.
The breakfast is almost ready.
I feel terrible.
I need to get going now.
Already? Why?
I'm sorry. Let's say I ate it.
Seriously.
All right.
Call me later instead.
Okay.
[My Happy Ending]
Honey.
Honey, are you okay?
Jae Won. Jae Won.
Excuse me! Doctor!
Excuse me!
[Episode 2]
Although it'd be temporary,
resting is a priority since she was in a serious accident.
She'd be in severe pain since her ribs fractured.
Moving too much might cause a corollary condition. She should be lying down for a while.
Got it.
By the way, you're sure she's okay, right?
You don't have to worry.
Thank you.
Geez.
While you were unconscious in the critical care unit,
Father stayed here the whole time.
He wouldn't sleep or eat.
What? You should stay in bed.
I'm thirsty.
Thirsty? Hold on.
Here.
The police stopped by in the morning.
Jae Won, tell me now.
What happened, exactly?
What?
You know, right, Jae Won?
You're the only one I have.
Nothing happened.
I just got drunk and made a mistake.
Why would you say such nonsense?
Yes.
The doctor wants to see Ms. Seo's guardian.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
[Dereve]
Hello, Director.
It's prepared in the conference room, sir.
We're preventing speculative reports as much as possible.
The police will release the investigation results soon. [Dereve announces the CEO's fall was just an accident]
I'm assuming it won't have any direct effect.
- And for the last quarter's sales report- - Okay.
I'll hear it from CEO Seo in person later.
Got it.
Wait for me outside.
- Is there something wrong- - Geez.
You came.
Is this what you've been working on day and night?
I can manage my own business.
Did I pay for your education abroad for you to do useless stuff like this?
What would be so great about having an exhibit using your name?
I got this job because they acknowledged my talent.
You must be happy.
You were acknowledged by your friend of 20 years.
The accident occurred somewhere remote without many pedestrians.
There weren't any CCTVs for that reason.
A man in his 50s notified the police.
He testified that he only saw something falling and nothing else.
It'd be difficult to find more witnesses since it was late at night.
How about the reporters?
I clearly told them it was just an accident.
We can't allow any speculative reports.
Okay.
What was on my schedule today?
A styling meeting for a showroom that's planned to open next month,
the finance team's sales report, and a concept meeting for the website renewal.
Tell Director Park to attend the styling meeting.
Tell them to send the sales report home in the evening.
And we'll have the concept meeting here in an hour.
I'll come into the office as usual starting tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - Get ready.
I heard you needed to be hospitalized for a few more days.
Says who?
Why don't you stop and come here?
Okay. I'm all done.
Cheers.
This is so nice.
It is.
Look at that kid.
If we had met a little sooner,
we'd have a child around that age, don't you think?
If only we had met...
about seven years sooner.
I'm not sure.
You're so bad at reading the air.
Is that it?
Can't you say, "It's not too late"? Something like that?
I'm talking about our marriage and our child.
I didn't want to say this because it'd be petty, but-
Hold on.
- Who is it? - It's for work.
Sorry. I'll make a phone call real quick.
Are you sure you'd be okay going to work today?
Yes.
Jae Won, you should just rest today.
You scared me.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
How many times did I tell you?
I'm fine.
Good morning.
- Hey, you came. - Hi.
That's so crazy.
I didn't think she'd come to work for a while.
Hey. They don't call her a workaholic for no reason.
You'd be shocked if you knew her daily schedule.
She doesn't take a break from morning until night.
I heard that she worked in the waiting room on her wedding day. Is that true?
I saw it myself.
Good morning.
Hello, sir.
- You came. - Hello.
- Hello.
Aigoo. Please give this to CEO Seo.
Would you like to see her?
It's okay. Thank you.
Sure.
Jae Won.
Do you know how worried I was?
I'm sorry.
You must be still in a lot of pain.
Yes. I am.
What happened?
Didn't you see the articles?
I did, but-
It's exactly as they say.
Do you need to tell me something?
It...
must've been very difficult.
It was.
Very much so.
- Yes, Ms. Seo. - Bring me the documents to sign off.
I'll leave you to it, then.
Let me know anytime if you need me.
I'll get going.
- Ms. Seo. - Yeah?
Your father brought this for you.
- Father did? - Yes.
He left it with a security guard early this morning.
Okay.
Your mother had visited the ER three times for taking pesticide before she passed.
And Mr. Seo accompanied her each time.
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?
[My Dad]
Hey. Did you get the thermos?
Yes.
It's beef bone soup.
I heard it's good for bones. I put beef leg bone, feet, knee cartilage,
and all sorts of things and cooked it all night.
You shouldn't have. I can just get it at a restaurant.
Aigoo. How could that be better than homemade?
Make sure to eat it.
This is the only thing I can do for you, Jae Won.
When did you come to the office?
I stopped by early so I don't interrupt your work..
Don't worry about it.
Dad.
Yes?
Thanks for the soup.
Let me know anytime if you want more.
Okay. You must be busy. I'll let you go. Take care.
This is Seo Jae Won.
I'd like to see you today.
I'll tell you later in person.
Okay.
See you there.
Stay there.
I'll talk to you from here.
How's it going?
Are you hanging in there?
I don't know what you're mistaken about,
but please rethink it.
Or give me a chance to explain myself, at least.
Why do I have to do that?
Because of all the time we spent together.
I don't need to hear your explanation.
What now, then?
Wait...
until I make a judgment.
How will you judge me?
You don't know that much about me.
Wow, I didn't see this coming.
I gave you my business card, but I didn't think you'd call me first.
I'd like to propose something to you.
That's even more unexpected.
- What is it? - But first...
there's something I need to address with you.
Once you become a CEO of a sizeable company,
you don't just make a lot of money. You make connections in many fields.
So, I did look you up.
Why are you stirring up what happened in the past now?
That's because...
well-
I'm curious what you found out.
That you were a former homicide detective.
You quit while being investigated for taking bribery.
And you suspiciously got acquitted sometime after.
Wow, you really know everything.
But why were you in the dark about your own family, then?
I'll also start looking into that now.
Without missing anything at all.
How about your proposal to me?
Keep doing what you're doing.
I want you to investigate how my mom died.
But do it for me, not for the insurance company.
Why do I have to do that?
There's no way you quit your government job to become a salaryman.
Are you satisfied with your current pay?
I'll supplement it if it's not enough.
More than enough to satisfy you, Mr. Nam Tae Joo.
[Yein Arts Scholarship Foundation]
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Where's Ah Rin?
She had a bit of a fever. So she took medicine and went to bed early.
And Professor Heo stepped out for a second.
She had a fever?
Yes.
When did you come?
Just now.
I'm sorry. I woke you up, didn't I?
You're not busy today?
No. I'm not busy anymore.
Let's sleep together, then.
Okay.
Should we sleep together, Princess?
Okay.
Yes. Ms. Seo.
Is Ms. Kwon working right now?
Just one moment.
Yes, she's working. Should I put her on the phone?
No, it's okay.
You came home early.
Where have you been?
I was at the gym, you know.
I felt sluggish since I skipped a few days.
Yes, I'm sure.
Oh, right. How are you feeling?
Did you remember to take your medicine?
Gosh, you need to rest longer. I was worried.
You're worried about me?
Of course I am.
I'll go take a shower.
Are you really worried about me?
Huh?
Why did you do that to me, then?
He's no longer a member here.
He stopped coming about three months ago.
That day...
I did go to the gym.
Well, I switched to a different gym. It's upstairs in the same building.
It turns out my high school classmate runs it.
How about the text, then?
I'm arriving soon.
The text...
The same friend sent that.
We planned to work out together that day.
But I'm still not used to using this.
So, it got deleted by accident.
I'm sorry that I caused a misunderstanding.
By chance, your brother-
My brother? What about him, all of a sudden?
It's nothing.
Never mind. It's nothing. Let's stop.
Jae Won.
I'm so sorry.
I was too inattentive. I didn't even know you were thinking that.
You must've felt terrible, both physically and emotionally.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me just once.
I'll do better.
Okay?
This is Team Leader Yoon Te Oh's personnel file you requested.
How about what I mentioned before?
Team Leader Yoon was apparently at a club at night on the 15th.
Are you sure?
Yes. A few of the employees saw him.
He joined the company four years ago.
You don't know that much about me.
Thank you, my daughter.
Forgive me just once. I'll do better.
Why did you do that to me, then?
What?
What's wrong?
Flower therapy. Have you heard of it?
According to a study, the scent of flowers reduces stress and depressive feelings.
You heal just by smelling. Isn't it amazing?
It is.
I can't ask if you've been well.
I saw the articles.
Could you get me some tea?
How about the stalker?
Are you sure that's Yoon Te Oh?
I'm not sure about that, either.
The stalking began over seven years ago.
But Te Oh first came to Korea four years ago.
It doesn't make sense he started stalking me in the US seven years ago when he didn't even know me.
You're right.
What are you going to do now?
Where are you?
I'll be late. Don't wait up for me.
What are you going to do now?
Are you afraid to face the truth?
This isn't the first time that someone you trusted did something...
Why me again?
I believed I finally became happy.
Why me again?
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid everything will crumble.
[For headache]
[Dereve Security]
[9:20 a.m. / Missed calls]
[88 Pa 0505]
Ms. Seo.
You couldn't be reached, so Team Leader Yoon joined the meeting instead.
He told the people from the Seoul Hotel that he'd like to present the furniture design for the hotel first.
But the design isn't ready yet.
I suppose he prepared something.
Okay. Thank you.
It wasn't me.
This car is registered for the design team.
I understand the team members take turns to use it.
Is there something wrong?
It's nothing. You can get back to work.
How will you judge me?
You don't know that much about me.
The door is opening.
The door is closing.
The door is opening.
The door is closing.
Get in.
The door is closing.
You came in so early.
How did the meeting go?
There is an order in conversations.
I don't think you should say that first.
Thank you for attending the meeting for me.
Are you no longer suspicious of me?
What are you worried about, exactly?
It really wasn't you?
Seriously! The more I think, the angrier I get.
You were suspicious of me?
When the office was upside down because of the stalker,
I was having fried chicken and beer with Rachel.
Look at this. The date and time.
I even took care of the new product reveal, too.
This isn't right.
Wait, how could you-
I'm so sorry.
Then, do me a favor.
- What? - Clear your schedule this afternoon first.
- I have so much to do today- - Well...
Okay.
Come on in.
You've never been to my workshop, right?
What's all this?
I felt like I was forgetting my true self since I'm making only furniture these days.
You were making a canvas.
Are you preparing for a show?
I'm thinking about it.
But why am I here?
Put this on first.
♫ I really want to stay in your mind ♫
♫ In a small space ♫
♫ Wherever it might be ♫
♫ When you feel alone, even if you fall ♫
♫ If you feel there's no way ♫
♫ Just like spring that sprung after winter ♫
Please push it down properly.
♫ I promise you ♫
♫ I'll always be with you ♫
♫ If you cry, I'll make you smile ♫
Pull tightly over there.
Like this?
No, just pull the canvas.
While holding the frame so it doesn't move.
Gosh, seriously.
You complain even when I'm helping.
I can tell this isn't your first time.
I have tons of experience, okay?
I made canvases for everyone in my department when I was in college.
You would've become a successful artist if you used that time on painting instead.
I disagree with that.
I enjoyed painting, but I had no talent.
You can't say you had no talent if you got into Hanguk University.
Why are you making this yourself, by the way?
Are you doing this on purpose?
You know well.
Simple labor is best at getting rid of idle thoughts.
Look at you. You looked so depressed before.
You're finally yourself now.
Would you like some coffee?
Yes.
♫ I'll always be with you ♫
♫ If you cry, I'll make you smile ♫
♫ Look at me one more time ♫
♫ You can just lean on me ♫
♫ Even if you leave me now ♫
♫ I'll always be waiting for you here ♫
♫ The rest of my life ♫
Hello, CEO.
Secretary Heo, what's my schedule today?
You're going to kindergarten, have snacks,
and you planned to ride swings with Seo Joon in the afternoon.
Gosh, I'm so tired.
If you're tired, should I cancel something?
No.
I got the kindergarten bus waiting outside. Let's go.
Shall we?
I'm working late tonight. Don't wait up for me.
Good day.
I'll drop her off.
Let me open it for you, CEO.
Aigoo.
You're so impatient.
[My Dad]
- Dad. - Huh?
Gosh, Jae Won.
What are you doing here?
I came to give you side dishes.
How about the medicine?
It makes me drowsy.
I feel nauseated, too.
It'll be fine once you get used to it.
How long do I have to take the medicine?
Well, until you're completely cured.
There isn't a wound to heal. How would you know if I'm cured?
Study hard and...
don't cause trouble because your parents will be worried.
You'll be cured, then.
[Psychiatrist's Office 1]
Gosh.
You should've called in advance. I'm sure no one's home now.
I was going to drop them off and leave so I don't bother you at work.
It's okay. I didn't get rained on much.
You can drop me off at the station nearby.
I'll tell the driver. Let him drive you all the way home.
No, no. It's a short bus ride away.
Please listen to me. Stop making me worry.
Okay.
Jae Won.
You're okay now, right?
Nothing's going on, right?
[Seoul Immigration Office]
I'll get punished if I get caught with this.
I played ignorant about your wife pretending to be sick for over three months.
I was willing to be punished for it.
[Immigration Certificate]
[My Husband]
Let's have dinner together tonight.
I need to tell you something.
There's something I want to hear from you, too.
Ms. Seo, here's a contract for joining J Department Store.
What time is the meeting today?
At 3 p.m. You need to leave now.
You don't have to get the car ready. I'll take my car.
Okay.
Yes, this is Seo Jae Won.
Regarding what you mentioned last time...
You wanted to know Yoon Te Oh's immigration records, right?
I already confirmed it. You don't have to look into it.
I already did. What should I do?
He was adopted by a US family as a kid
and he came to Korea four years ago. Is that right?
That's right.
But it wasn't his first time four years ago.
There's a record of him entering the country seven years ago, too.
[Team Leader Yoon Te Oh]
I heard you're going to Korea after the show ends.
Will it be your first time in Korea, then?
I guess you can say that.
I've never been back since I was adopted when I was eight.
My father passed due to illness when I was six
and my mother passed from a car accident when I was seven.
Older boys don't get adopted easily in Korea.
That's how I ended up in the US.
It's not interesting for you?
Everyone's more curious about my past than my work.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Ms. Seo.
I told Professor Heo that I needed to leave early today due to a situation at home.
But I can't seem to reach him.
Is Ah Rin back?
Not yet.
Professor Heo always picks her up at three when she's out of kindergarten.
I'm not sure if he went to pick her up.
Okay. You can leave.
[My Husband]
The door is opening.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Can we push back the meeting by an hour?
That was Ah Rin's dad.
[Class Flower Petal 3]
One.
- Ah Rin's mother. - Hello, Ma'am.
Did my husband pick Ah Rin up?
Pardon? Ah Rin didn't come today because she's sick.
Didn't you know?
Oh.
[My Husband]
Ah Rin!
Ah Rin...
Ah Rin!
[My Husband]
Hello.
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Well, have you seen either my husband or daughter today?
I saw them on the way to lunch earlier.
- Around lunchtime? - Yes.
They were going somewhere looking happy.
Is something going on?
By the way,
he was with some woman earlier.
I don't think she lives in the neighborhood.
But she seemed close to Professor Heo.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Is Ms. Kwon in the office right now?
Just one second.
No, she's not here.
[Front Door: Call / Save Picture / End / Open the door]
Ah Rin. Ah Rin.
Ah Rin, Mom's here.
I know you two are in there.
Come out.
Come out!
Open the door! Open it!
Come out!
Oh, Honey.
Why couldn't I reach you?
Huh?
I asked why you couldn't be reached.
Do you know how much I worried?
Shouldn't I be saying that?
I called you since you called me dozens of times, but you didn't answer.
I thought something serious happened.
Where did you go today?
I got some fresh air. What's going on?
With whom?
- Didn't you call because of something urgent? - With whom?
Well, I was with Ah Rin.
She didn't want to go to kindergarten today.
Just the two of you?
Did you know?
Of course, it was just us. Who else?
I'm sorry.
I was going to tell you in the evening since you're busy.
Why didn't you call your girlfriend to replace a busy mom, then?
Are you angry because I let her skip kindergarten without telling you?
Do you really not know, or are you just pretending?
- What do you mean? - Do you really not know why I'm like this?
I really don't know. Let's hear it.
I'm sorry I let her skip kindergarten without telling you, but this is too much.
Can't you please be honest at least once?
The innocent look on your face really-
Jae Won.
I really don't know.
I don't know why you're like this lately.
I really don't know.
[69th Class, Choi Dong Ho]
Hey.
Hey, Seo Jae Won. Are you a no-show today again?
I know you're busy, but you should come to the reunion.
Was there a reunion today?
Didn't you hear from Yoon Jin?
Yoon Jin came, too?
Of course. She came a while ago.
Where are you right now?
[2023 Hanguk University School of Art, 69th Class Reunion]
It's Jae Won!
Hey, Seo Jae Won!
Seo Jae Won! Seo Jae Won!
Seo Jae Won!
You don't mind me sitting here, right?
Of course not.
I didn't tell you intentionally because you didn't seem too well these days.
I don't know how to thank you.
You want beer, right?
Hey, she can't drink yet.
Seriously, is there something going on with you lately?
How are you these days?
Nothing's going on?
Aren't you hiding anything from me?
What's there to hide from you?
I'm always stuck inside painting.
Hey, don't be like that and spill the beans.
What's the secret behind your success?
Wow, I never would've imagined you'd become this successful.
- When she was in college, she was- - Hey, hey.
What are you saying?
You're right. Yoon Jin was more successful than me in college.
Yes. Everyone knew Kwon Yoon Jin in the art college.
I really thought Yoon Jin would become hugely successful.
Gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't become hugely successful.
Aigoo, aigoo. You are successful. You're the only artist among us.
It's not easy to stay in the field for over 20 years.
You're right. It would've been easy if you got help from your father.
You did it on your own. I'll admit it.
Should we elevate things and talk about your projects?
We haven't had a chance to talk about it.
Gosh, it's fine. It's boring. Don't.
Why don't we talk about your broken engagement instead?
We never got to talk about it.
Hey, what are you doing?
Is your ex doing well?
Is it because he's a successful entrepreneur?
There was an article about his wedding recently.
Which actress was it? Who was it?
Kim Mi So.
She's a model, not an actress.
Looks like you're still interested.
Looks like you are.
I didn't know you kept up with my ex-boyfriend.
I know how interested you are in my family and husband.
Hey. You must be really drunk.
Hey, why are you doing this on a happy occasion?
Hey, Professor Han is here.
Professor!
Yoon Jin, let's say hello to Professor.
Wow. Professor!
You remember Yoon Jin, right?
Have a seat.
Yoon Jin did really well, then.
[1 Unread Message]
Are you up?
I didn't wake you because you were sleeping soundly.
I made you dried pollack soup. Eat it before leaving for work.
I put the paperwork delivered from the office in the study.
Why is the certified copy of the apartment deed here?

No, I'll go straight to the department store.

[My Happy Ending]
Your loved one's different side to them.
Can you even imagine how that feels?
Jae Won, you can take a break if it's too tough.
- I'll help you. - But I don't know anymore.
Don't go.
I'll help you.
The man I'm seeing isn't Jae Won's husband.
You mean the culprit was captured on it?
You have to use it. What if you're abandoned again?
