(My Happy Ending)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Who has been calling you?
A friend.
Sang Won.
He keeps calling, to invite me out for a drink.
I should go out for a bit.
This late at night?
Yes. I think he's very drunk.
I won't be long. He keeps calling.
Who is he calling?
What?
Heo Soon Young? Heo Chi Young?
Or is it both?
It's time to end it.
With Kwon Yoon Jin.
Why? Why should I do that?
"Why?"
Did you just ask "why?"
"Why?"
What are you so proud about?
Shouldn't you apologize to me first?
We've been dating for quite a while.
Renting a place in your father's name...
to spend time as a family...
Was that three months ago?
Because of my famous wife, I've become a public figure too,
so we couldn't meet in public.
So I borrowed Heo Chi Young's name.
Stop it!
Were you always this cruel?
Why are you doing this to me?
Let's get a divorce.
You've lost your mind.
No.
I won't get divorced.
I'll get the papers drawn up as soon as possible.
What did I do wrong?
All I did was work like crazy for the family.
Why are you doing this to me?
"For the family?"
Goodness.
No.
You worked for you.
You ignored your parents and neglected your daughter.
You climbed to where you are...
on the sacrifice your family made for you.
For yourself.
You're saying it's my fault?
No. I admit to my wrongdoing.
That's why I want a divorce.
I don't want anything of yours.
What about A Rin?
Can you even raise her?
You can never take her.
For her sake at least, let's not end up in court.
What's the real reason you're doing this to me?
Tell me.
Everything you're hiding from me.
- Let's stop it. - Stop what?
What do you want to stop?
You really don't get it?
Get what?
I...
That I...
That I love...
someone other than you.
I don't want to be around you anymore.
That's the reason.
Will that do?
How... How could you do this to me?
How...
How could you?
(My Happy Ending)
(Pesticide)
I want to die.
(Pesticide)
Do you have a headache or a stomachache?
It can happen if you're too stressed out.
But just to be safe,
how about you come in to get tested?
Why hesitate when the truth is out?
Do you want to believe it's a passing fancy?
As if deceiving you and toying with you wasn't enough,
he even said he loves someone else.
Can you still understand and forgive him?
It's time to admit it.
Your relationship with Soon Young.
- It's over. - Understanding?
Forgiveness?
It was never an option.
Then why are you hesitating?
Because...
he's A Rin's dad.
- Honey. - Yes?
I'm scared.
Don't worry. You have me.
Let's raise A Rin well.
A Rin, I'm your daddy.
Look. Mommy's here too.
She's smiling. Did you see it? Her smile?
Scissors.
Seesaw.
Seesaw?
W...
Wax.
- X... - It's a hard one.
X...
Today, you should eat snacks after coming back from kindergarten.
In the afternoon, you should play on a swing with Seo Jun.
Hey.
To A Rin, he's an irreplaceable dad.
That's why I wanted to preserve it.
I thought I could, until the end.
(Professor of Law, Lee Nam Cheol)
(Confirmation of Intention to Divorce)
(Application for Custody and Parental Rights)
When did you prepare all this?
This wasn't done in just a few days.
It's been a while.
You'll really get divorced?
Can I be brutally honest?
I don't know what you think,
but you unwittingly benefited a lot from your wife.
- I know that. - Then why do this?
You'll never find another goose that lays golden eggs.
For 20 years, I was Jae Won's boyfriend then husband.
Seo Jae Won's boyfriend, Seo Jae Won's husband.
That was my label for 20 years.
It's been enough.
I'm done.
So what do you need my help with?
Alimony? Division of assets?
Just one thing.
I want just one thing.
Here you go, Father. It's a present.
What is it?
You still work out in the field.
I got you some health supplements.
My gosh.
You didn't have to.
Have a pack.
Just a moment.
What for?
Take that with this.
Here you go.
Are you happy now?
Thank you.
I'll be sure to take it.
Okay.
Do you have the time to be here?
You should be busy preparing your lectures.
I came to see you.
Plus I missed A Rin a lot.
You silly fool.
I'll bring her to you in no time.
I can swear I bought you lots of clothes.
Let's throw out some old clothes.
What for?
They look and wear just fine.
You've worn them long enough if you had them for 20 years.
You were wearing that when we first met.
You remember that?
Yes. How could I forget?
I was so nervous that day.
I was nothing but pleased.
Because Jae Won chose you.
I'm always grateful,
and I'm sorry too.
What got into you today?
Is something wrong?
I should go.
Father, I have to go.
Jae Won's busy, so don't tell her I came by.
Okay.
Goodbye, then.
(Executive Manager Yoon Teo)
I worked on this for a year,
and I see the end at last.
I hope I can finish it up with no regrets.
It looks forlorn and empty.
You get it once you lose something precious.
Just how empty and in vain...
life is.
What is it?
Blurt it out.
What can't you tell me?
What's the reason?
Why did you use a dead guy...
to deceive everyone?
Does Jae Won know too?
Do you want her not to know?
No.
Never mind.
I think it's for the better.
I wanted to tell the truth from the start.
But Soon Young said he had his reasons,
so I went along with the ruse that he was Heo Chi Young.
They will get divorced soon.
He said he'd leave her for me.
It was an empty shell of a marriage.
He wants to end it before it gets even more miserable.
Yoon Jin.
Is this what you were like?
Why?
Isn't it better for you too?
You and Jae Won.
The reason you joined Dereve.
Does Jae Won know what it is?
Thank you. Goodbye.
I'm looking for the person who posted this.
No way. An actual reporter?
Was it really Seo Jae Won?
Yes. For real.
Are you okay? Oh, no.
Oh, no. Ma'am. You're bleeding.
One second.
My goodness.
I'll get the first aid kit.
One second.
Her face in real life is just...
Forget that.
Can you go into detail about her hand?
Well...
You see...
That was real weird.
They'll handle it as quietly as possible.
(Law Firm Jungron)
If everything you said so far is true,
it shouldn't be hard, even if we go to court.
Your husband provided the cause of divorce.
And you put in...
most of the work to increase your assets.
Let's prove that as best we can.
What about custody?
Is there no possibility of an agreement?
From what I saw on TV, the husband has the kid most of the time.
He's seeing someone else.
Custody's a little different.
If it appears that they put in more effort with the kid,
and the kid is closer to that parent,
if the judge decides...
they can provide a better environment for the kid,
the spouse at fault can win custody.
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Professor Heo went to his office.
Ms. Seo.
First, gather evidence that your husband...
ruined the family.
Check his finances.
Find anything that will work against him raising a child.
(You have a new email.)
(No title, Attached file: No title)
Do you want water?
Wait. I'll get you some.
Hello, darling.
Dinner's almost ready.
I worked hard, so look forward to it.
It seemed a little dull, so I changed it around a bit.
Is it weird?
No, it's not, but...
What happened to your face?
It's nothing.
It's not nothing.
How did it happen?
Did Jae Won do it?
Yoon Jin.
It's really over now.
It's all over.
Don't worry.
It's just a matter of time...
before us three are together?
I think it was a little past 10pm...
at night of the 22nd.
This isn't right.
No.
May 22, 10pm.
Heo Chi Young.
Someone took all the red bean pastries.
- I did. - It's fine.
My gosh.
Detective Yoon.
Did you find out the person who he called at that time?
Yes.
What is it? Why?
- Do you not know who it is? - No. It's Heo Chi Young.
Right? I knew it.
But as soon as the phone call with Chi Young ended, he called someone.
Who?
- Heo Soon Young. - What?
Then who is Heo Chi Young?
So Heo Soon Young didn't pretend to be Heo Chi Young?
(Professor Heo Soon Young)
Let's get a divorce.
I'll do what you want.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
- Do you not want to do it? - I mean...
It's not that I don't want it.
We're already over.
I feel like I'm the only one who is hanging onto it.
Let's end it before hurting each other even more.
This is our last time.
Jae Won.
Help me.
Jae Won.
Help.
Please.
(Insomnia medication)
Detective Nam.
It's been a while, Mr. Choi.
I heard you were working for an insurance company...
after quitting your police job.
I can't recognize you.
Stop with the nonsense. So what's the matter?
Apparently, you've been helping Ms. Seo Jae Won these days.
I met Captain Oh before, and he told me about it.
That guy is so...
Gosh, I was doubting, but... Is it real?
You must know how she is doing these days then.
What do you want to know?
The thing is...
Are you sure that's Seo Jae Won?
Yes, it's her.
It's a little odd, isn't it?
It looks like she's out of her mind as well.
Do you know anything?
I'm not sure.
If I know the reason, it would make big news.
Are you sure it's big news?
Of course.
This is the original footage.
I got this footage after checking all the security camera footage...
is deleted in case they give it to someone else.
You did?
Can you look into it?
I'll repay you well.
Let's do it then.
No. I met a former detective I know.
There's a piece of trash who was fired...
after accepting bribes from the culprits.
I just want to keep an eye on him.
He doesn't refuse when he can make money out of it.
Yes. All right.
Okay. See you later. Bye.
You're right.
I don't refuse when I can make money out of it. But...
I'm not interested in pocket money...
as I'm hanging out with big names these days.
Mom.
- Grandpa, I want water. - Okay.
Here. Drink some water.
A Rin.
- Mom. - Did you have fun?
Yes.
Mom.
How many fish did you catch?
- It's a secret. - It's a secret?
What is A Rin doing?
She fell asleep. She was tired.
Have you been sleeping?
Of course.
I did some sketching...
as I hit on some ideas yesterday.
I'm really fine.
What happened?
Oh, this?
It's nothing.
I made a mistake while working with wood.
How was the traffic on the way here?
Soon Young...
We talked on the phone on the way here.
He said he was outside Seoul as his friend's father had passed away.
Is that what he said?
Is everything good...
with your husband these days?
Did he say something?
No.
I'm just asking.
Jae Won.
Are you...
No.
It's really not like what you think.
Aren't you hungry?
Or should we have a light snack before we eat something?
Oh, right. I forgot about it.
I forgot to buy cigarettes.
It won't take long.
It's because of me.
Everyone in the school already knows about it.
Complaints from the parents are flooding in.
It's not like my child did anything wrong.
There's nothing wrong with going to a hospital when you're sick.
I understand how you feel.
But why don't you consider transferring her to another school?
Do you really think our child is the problem?
I don't think so.
My daughter did nothing wrong.
Those who treat my child who is sick...
like a criminal are the real problem.
Let me try it too.
It's just a joke.
Gosh.
I'll finish it quickly.
How dare you! What are you guys doing here?
(Seo Yoon Jin)
Mister.
I...
don't want to go to the hospital.
You...
don't have to.
Really?
And you're going to transfer.
You're going to change your name as well.
Let's live somewhere where no one knows about us.
No one will notice if you take medications.
From now on, your illness...
will become a secret just between you and me.
Don't tell anyone...
about it from now on.
Can you do that?
And Yoon Jin.
Don't worry.
I will make money...
to remove the scars on your arms.
Let's go.
What should I do with Jae Won?
It's my fault.
Jae Won.
Enjoy your meal.
Did you finish with the mural for Dereve?
Not yet.
Until when are you going to hang onto it?
I told Mr. Kim, the director of The One Gallery, about you.
You better go there instead.
I'll take care of my own business.
How can you take care of it by yourself?
You've never even won an award,
being unknown all your life.
You need to hold an exhibition you can talk about...
before being appointed as a full professor.
It's just a local university.
Will you be satisfied with that?
What can I do?
You're not as talented as Jae Won.
- Father. - You've been stubborn...
for more than 20 years. You should get it together now.
Until when are you going to have everything your way?
I'm going to marry someone.
- What? - I'll introduce him soon.
So look forward to it.
You're going to have...
an adorable granddaughter as well.
Just give it to me now. I'll do it.
My goodness. Why are you doing this? You're making a guest feel sorry.
I'll wash the dishes I used.
What do you mean you're a guest? It feels so distant.
Give it to me. It's because I want to do the dishes. Come on.
Okay. Fine.
Is there anything you want to eat?
No.
How about half-dried saury with soju for dinner then?
It sounds good.
- Half-dried saury it is. - Okay.
Oh, my. Princess A Rin is here.
Are you ready?
Just wait a second. I'll walk you there.
No, thank you.
I'm going with Grandpa today.
You are?
Let's go together.
A Rin.
Be careful with cars, motorcycles, bicycles,
and scooters. You know it, right?
I know.
I'm not a baby.
- Let's go. - Bye.
Wait.
Are you not done yet?
Are you still...
thinking?
Don't provoke me.
I'm doing my utmost best to suppress it.
Just let me raise A Rin.
I don't need anything else.
Your fortune? I don't want a single penny.
Just let me raise A Rin.
It's not going to happen.
- Who is it? - Tae Yul.
I like it.
- It's a fish. - How about this?
It's stuck in the tree.
A Rin.
Let's play with this.
Here...
Mr. Yoon.
- Excuse me. - Go ahead.
Did you come to look around before the meeting?
Minimalist furniture is popular.
- Ms. Seo. - The space...
Are you okay, Ms. Seo?
Ms. Seo.
Yes.
- Yes. - What's the matter?
Are you unwell?
No, I'm fine.
I was just surprised.
What's the matter, Ms. Seo?
- Just give me ten minutes. - Excuse me?
I need to check something.
Wait in the car.
What are you doing here?
What about you?
Do you...
I said I wouldn't need anything.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, but can I have some water?
Sure.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Ms. Seo.
Congratulations.
You've come, sir.
There are many reporters.
It's your first official appearance.
- Everyone is looking forward to it. - I see.
What's the matter? Do you feel uncomfortable?
No. I...
I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
I think he spilled something.
Let's go out.
You should greet them before the event.
- Sure. - Let's go.
Thank you for what you did earlier.
What did you do with the pills?
I threw them away.
I threw them in my pocket so that no one knows.
It was a lot to take at once.
Do you know what those pills are?
Yes.
I kept it a secret...
from my friends, family, and siblings all my life.
And I was caught by someone I've never met before today.
It's not a big deal.
It's like a cold...
anyone can catch.
Thank you.
You're the first one who said something like that.
Are you an art student?
How did you know?
It's not easy to remove the smell of paint.
Do I smell like paint?
It's so subtle that only those who majored in art will know.
So you're a painter.
Not now. I used to paint before.
I quit early,
as I figured that I wouldn't make a living with art.
I see.
I'm saying all sorts of things.
I'm just nervous right now. Forget about that.
About that medicine,
I took it before too.
Back in high school,
I went to school in the US.
Because there were no Asians,
I was bullied seriously.
It felt like losing if I ran away.
So I clenched my teeth and endured it.
But I guess my heart couldn't.
So I took medicine and received therapy.
I started drawing after psychotherapy.
I see.
It's not fair to get caught alone, so I'm sharing this.
I should get going.
Thank you.
I feel a lot better now.
When we meet again next time, I'll return what I owe you.
Next time?
You promised.
Why didn't you tell me?
What should I tell the person who doesn't even remember?
If I tell you, what would you say?
"Is that true?"
"But it wasn't a big deal."
If you say that,
it'd really become no big deal.
Teo.
If I just turn around and forget it,
I thought it'd stop,
but it didn't.
I was always curious about you.
I wanted to meet you again.
I'm Seo Jae Won of Dereve.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Seo.
Teo Harris?
Or do you go by your Korean name Yoon Teo?
I...
I should get going.
(Seo Yoon Jin)
The name tag.
Can you give it to me?
Why?
I feel like I should take it.
The press conference.
Stop it, please.
Did you take the medicine today?
That medicine.
You didn't take the medicine for a headache, did you?
Ms. Seo.
Ms. Kwon's work will be ready within this week.
How should we hold the ceremony?
One second.
Yes, ma'am.
(Let's have fun.)
Last time when you were here without knowing...
that A Rin was absent,
you asked me to call you even if something minor happens.
Well...
It's okay. Go ahead and tell me.
A woman came to the kindergarten today...
to meet A Rin.
She told us...
she was marrying A Rin's father.
She said she might drop and pick A Rin up from now on,
so she came to say hello.
Does my husband know?
Does he know...
that woman was here?
Probably.
A Rin's old homeroom teacher said she met her before.
She was here before to drop A Rin's supplies...
after her father asked.
Even if our relationship ends,
I wanted us to remain good parents to A Rin.
If that can't be achieved,
now I really...
Mr. Nam Tae Ju.
Where are you?
Are you sure you won't regret it?
About Baek Seung Kyu,
he laid his hand on stocks, cryptocurrency, and everything.
Everything he tried went down.
Then there was the student loan and the bank loan.
He was under a lot of debt, and his investment didn't go well.
No wonder he didn't want to carry on.
Did he jump off on his own?
There was no evidence found.
There was no sign of fighting.
Before he fell off, he got rid of all his items.
You know the studio he lived in? He put it on the market.
Did you check the CCTV?
It didn't get recorded today.
It didn't get recorded?
That always happens.
Why did it not get recorded only on that day?
I wouldn't know.
Perhaps the CCTV was too old.
What about his phone?
Nothing strange found in his phone.
Did you check everything?
Of course I did.
- Detective Lee. - Yes.
- The captain's looking for you. - Okay.
Bye now.
Hi, a team manager from his company came by.
Yes, he's reluctant to accept it.
But what can he do without evidence?
Are the old fossils quiet too?
Yes, the high-ups are quiet too.
It'll close the case as it is now.
- Thanks. - Bye.
Darn it.
Look who it is.
It'll settle as suicide due to financial struggle.
What about the CCTV?
I've dealt with it.
Keep your eye on it to avoid further trouble.
Yes, sir.
I can't believe this day is finally here.
It feels like a dream.
You've gone through a lot.
You need to celebrate it with enthusiasm.
I even prepared this.
With enthusiasm?
With sincerity and enthusiasm, congratulations.
Cheers.
You know what?
Sometimes I feel anxious even when you're with me.
It doesn't look like I have your full attention.
That's not true.
Okay.
When things settle,
we should get a new place.
This isn't big enough for the three of us.
We need a room for A Rin...
Yoon Jin.
Let's take it slowly.
We should focus on the ceremony today.
You're right.
It's my day today.
It's your day today.
Cheers. Congratulations.
("A Woman's Portrait" by Kwon Yoon Jin, Unveiling Ceremony)
Thank you for coming.
Ms. Kwon.
Hi.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Yoon Jin.
Thanks.
This must be Seo Jae Won's company I've only heard of.
It's very nice.
I'll talk to you later.
Oh, you came.
Why aren't you resting? It's the weekend.
You're at work?
The same goes for you.
I can focus better on weekends.
On weekdays, there are too many people.
Still.
You should go out for some fresh air.
I was jealous of you.
At first,
I was jealous of your talent.
Then I realized it after we became friends.
To complete one artwork,
all that time you spend...
with passion and love.
So after that,
I was jealous of your sincerity.
Jealous of what?
This is all I have.
I'm not good at business like you...
or have a sweet husband...
or a cute daughter.
To me,
this painting means everything.
This is my dream...
and my child.
How did it go?
No.
I'm firm.
Proceed it, please.
Are you okay?
Of course. I couldn't be better.
Did you think carefully before making a decision?
What do you mean?
I don't fully understand your heart,
but I know...
what Dereve means to you.
Don't worry.
There will be no problem.
I'll get going first.
Before the ceremony,
let's have the guest of the day, Artist Kwon Yoon Jin...
and have time to listen to her speech.
Let's greet her with a round of applause.
Ms. Kwon, please come forward.
("A Woman's Portrait" by Kwon Yoon Jin, Unveiling Ceremony)
Thank you for coming.
In 20 years of my career,
I never took a break.
Even though I always hold the brush with agony and anxiety,
I'd like to take this chance...
to thank everyone who supported me.
Thank you.
Thank you for your speech...
as outstanding as your beauty.
Now, we will reveal Ms. Kwon Yoon Jin's artwork,
"A Woman's Portrait."
Let's shout it out loud together.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
It's wonderful.
- Thank you. - Kwon Yoon Jin, you're still good.
Amazing.
Now, Ms. Seo who attended despite her busy schedule...
will give a speech.
May I say a word?
- Yes. - Sure.
Even though it wasn't an easy decision,
I'd like to thank Artist Kwon Yoon Jin...
for accepting my offer and completing a wonderful artwork.
You all know...
how amazing Yoon Jin's art skills are.
- Yes. - So true.
Yes.
I couldn't just accept her amazing gift,
so I prepared something too.
This is for your work.
Take it.
You should get paid for your work.
Seo Jae Won.
Is it too little?
Are you seriously going to do this?
Now that you got the money,
keep your mouth closed.
I always wanted to ask every time I saw the painting.
You said you wanted to draw a woman...
who's free from old traditions and pioneers her independent life.
But this woman in the drawing...
looks blank as if her heart is hollow.
Although she thought she had everything,
maybe it was just an empty shuck.
I decided not to let you fool me anymore.
So I plan to change this painting.
According to my taste.
What are you doing?
Hey. Seo Jae Won.
Stop it. Get out of my way!
Hey. Seo Jae Won.
Don't stop me!
Don't do it. Don't.
Get out of my way!
- What's she doing? - Why did she do that?
What's wrong with her?
- Oh, no. - My goodness.
Does she think she's Banksy?
Why did she do that?
What's wrong with her?
Mr. Heo Soon Young?
- Who are you? - I'm from the police.
I'm investigating Dereve's design leakage.
Design leakage?
Yes, I got a call.
One second.
(My Love)
Hello?
No need to be surprised.
This is nothing compared to what you've done.
This is only the beginning.
Wait and see what happens when you mess with my daughter.
(My Happy Ending)
Unless you want to leave empty-handed,
get ready for a lawsuit.
I was certain...
to end this marriage.
Do you have anything to tell me about Jae Won?
If your spouse lied to you about major illness...
like mental illness history,
it can be a reason for a divorce.
Are you looking for something?
You didn't have to come all the way here.
It's best to be careful.
When was the last time you met Seung Kyu?
The last time we met was when he was here to ask me...
to keep his belongings.
What are you thinking?
- What? - Why are you blushing?
No. I don't want it.
Who said you could act rude like this?
I hate you, Mom.
Why couldn't I get ahold of you?
Mom?
