(My Happy Ending)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
- Honey. - Yes?
Did you see my blue blouse?
I need it for today's interview.
That? I washed it and hung it on the balcony to dry.
It's on the balcony.
No, not there. Upstairs.
- Upstairs? - Yes.
A Rin, breakfast's almost ready. Hang in there for me.
Let's eat this first.
Why am I the busiest one in the mornings?
A Rin, here's...
What on earth is this?
Were you cooking too?
No, you should eat now.
I'll go first.
Okay. Ready? Go.
- Artist. - Artist?
Toes.
Seesaw.
Seesaw?
W...
Wax.

It's a hard one.
Three, two, one.
Time's up. Dad wins.
You can't use such a hard word...
when you're playing with a six-year-old baby.
What? My A Rin's a baby?
You told me you were a child.
I'm still a baby.
So will you let me off this one time?
You're so cute.
- Okay. - A Rin.
- Soon Young. - Hello.
- Are you off to kindergarten? - Say hello, A Rin.
How are you?
You look beautiful today.
I'm dressed as a princess today.
You really do look like a princess.
With your big eyes and sharp nose.
Where did you get your double eyelids from?
I don't think they're from your mom or dad.
- Is it your grandpa? - We got lucky.
Are you back from a walk?
Hey, it's been a while, Seung Kyu.
How are you doing, professor?
I'm fine.
Chan Ho went to the university yesterday to treat people...
- because he got a job. - I see.
It was a pity you weren't there.
It would've been nice to see you.
When do you go back?
I don't know.
I should go back soon.
("Product Design: Look Beyond the Product")
How are you these days?
(You have a new email.)
Are there any problems at work?
I'm managing okay over here.
The work's not hard.
(A Rin's not your daughter)
Oh, right. Have you heard?
What?
What did you say?
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
You're a CEO who's beautiful and also witty.
Your husband must be proud of you.
May I ask what your husband does?
My husband?
You really don't know?
Students line up at the start of term to see him.
He's a college professor.
If you look him up, - Hey.
- You'll see his handsome face. - When did you get in?
- Oh, I didn't... - Don't watch it.
Why not? You look pretty.
I prepared so hard for the interview,
and she asked what my husband did...
and how much we made.
All questions we didn't agree on.
It must've been tough.
- Jae Won. - Yes?
Did anything happen today?
Today? Like what?
Earlier today, some lunatic...
What?
Never mind.
I'm exhausted. I'll shower and go to bed.
Okay.
- Sleep well. - I will.
T...
Tomato.
It's your turn, Dad.
Dad?
What?
Three, two, one. Time's up.
I won!
I didn't hear you.
- Shall I let you off once? - Yes.
Say please.
Please.
It's a disposable email address.
There are...
- disposable email address? - Yes.
You don't have to register,
and the address expires automatically after a while.
It won't be easy to track the sender.
Really?
Okay. Thanks.
Sure.

Who's that?
It's time for you to feel it too.
You're in there, aren't you?

Ms. Seo.
Are you okay?
Ms. Seo.
Wait here.
Mr. Yoon. Ms. Seo's a mess.
Okay.
Bye.
- Sorry. I have to go. - What?
- What's going on? - I apologize.
Mr. Yoon.
Ms. Seo, some tea...
Ms. Seo.
Where are you going?
You're headed to the electric room.
Where...
Where do you want to go?
Where am I?
What?
What...
Why...
I really didn't know.
Never once did I even imagine this situation.
That everything...
started with me.
(Mr. Yoon, Dereve)
You tolerated me? You, of all people?
Do you really think you have the right to say that?
Yes?
(Father and daughter are not a match.)
(Sample A and Sample C do not have an STR match, )

do you think you can escape?
I hope you suffer the most in the world.
I really hope you know what it feels like...
to live...
in such agony.
(My husband)
What are you doing?
How long have you been here like this?
(Headaches)
Get angry and scream instead.
Or at least cry.
Don't just sit there, Jae Won.
Do something.
Should I?
I just don't know what it is...
I should do.
What on earth did the past me do?
(Recent calls: Ms. Seo)
Darn it.
Shoot.
Who are you?
This is real expensive.
You got caught snooping, and you don't mind?
I'm here to do some reporting.
Are you?
We'll find out soon enough.
You can't...
What are you doing?
Do you call spying on people reporting these days?
It's not like that.
How are you so proud of what you're doing?
Treat me like this, and I'll take action.
What?
Did you see something you didn't like?
You tailed Nam Tae Ju as well?
You know him too?
I'm working on an incredible scoop.
If this were to get out, it would create a crazy storm.
Don't you want to know what it is?
I'll take this.
When did you find out?
That Seo Jae Won's not in her right mind.
What are you on about?
Did I hit the nail on the head?
I'm positive she has a mental issue,
but I don't know what it is.
Give me a hint. Or...
should I ask her husband who's fighting her for custody?
If the mom's mentally unstable,
she can't keep the kid.
Keep talking.
Sue me if you want.
For assault or whatever tickles your fancy.
We looked up the shares you own.
You have a large stake in Dereve.
Well, as you know,
I have some sort of tie with Ms. Seo Jae Won.
I'm concerned.
There's a lot of talk about her, with her divorce and such.
Is there anything...
we must prepare for before the hearing?
I apologize.
Hello, Minister Kwon Young Ik.
I heard that...
Yoon Teo's looking into Baek Seung Kyu's case.
You didn't...
tell too much, did you?
As if I would.
It's a case I covered up myself.
(Chairman Kwon Young Ik)
(Yein Arts Scholarship Foundation)
- Yoon Teo... - Yoon Teo.
Let's watch him for now.
What can he do when the evidence is all gone?
Come in.
Okay.
I can leave, then.
I'll see you again, Minister Kwon.
Put it in his car for him.
I think it was the first launching event.
Ms. Seo. You have five minutes left.
- Okay. - Things are going great.
I hope it's still great five minutes from now.
Please welcome Dereve's CEO Seo Jae Won.
Hello, I'm Seo Jae Won.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending...
Dereve's first launching event.
Ms. Seo.
Meet Minister Song from the Ministry of Startups.
Thanks for coming.
Hello, Ms. Seo.
Chairman Kwon told me a lot about you.
She's working hard on some smart furniture.
I need you to help her out.
I should, of course.
How about a toast?
Sounds great.
- Here. - Sorry.
I can't drink.
Why not? You don't have other plans.
Well, the thing is...
It's no big deal. It's just one drink.
Go on.
Take it.
A toast.
Cheers.
See? You downed that just fine.
Shall we have one more?
Sure.
To Minister Song and Dereve's future.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- You can hold your drink. - Here.
Another one.
Ms. Seo.
Are you all right?
I think she drank too much.
Excuse me.
(My husband)
You didn't forget about tomorrow, did you?
Where are you?
(Secretary Kim, Dereve)
Hello.
Did you wake up, Ms. Seo?
Yes.
I'll go to your room in 30 minutes.
But...
who took me here...
yesterday?
Do you not remember?
I completely blacked out.
I saw you leaving while talking with Professor Heo...
on the phone.
(My husband)
Where are you?
Right.
You're right. I did.
Would you like some coffee that will wake you up?
Yes, please.
My gosh.
Hello, Soon Young.
Oh, my. Did you wake up just now?
Yes. My head hurts so much.
Gosh.
I told you not to drink too much.
Why did you drink so much yesterday?
I guess I got excited...
after finishing the first event.
Where are you?
School, of course.
When did you leave?
I have many lectures today. So I came out early in the morning.
Why did you not wake me up?
I'm sorry. I was too busy in the morning.
I should've given you a wake-up call.
- Professor. - Yes.
I'm sorry, honey. I'll get back to you later.
Okay. Good luck with your lecture.
For a neat freak like him, this is unusual.
I had no idea.
I didn't imagine it at all.
I've never thought that she was not your daughter.
Stop.
- Soon Young. You're bleeding. - Let go of me.
Let go of me!
Do you think I will believe that?
Have you ever felt guilty...
for me even a little bit?
You know what?
I...
My whole world collapsed because of you.
But you...
talked about happiness with a smile.
Every time you did that,
I...
hated you so much to the point that I wanted to kill you.
Do you know that?
I...
I am...
I'm so sorry.
No, Jae Won. It's too late.
What should I do?
What do you want me to do?
Give up A Rin.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can do that.
Okay.
You can't?
Then let's go to the end.
- Can I put her in my arms? - Of course.
You're so pretty.
A Rin, why did you wake up?
Daddy is here.
It's okay.
Oh, gosh.
Let me get some sleep.
Gosh, you're adorable.
You're adorable.
I'm sorry.
(It has just begun. Look forward to it.)
(From AMI)
("The World of Psychiatry")
(It's reported that bipolar disorder is frequently inherited.)
Is it possible for a disorder...
to be passed down from parents?
Mom, I'm scared.
I'm cold.
A Rin.
No.
Why? Let me go to the school just a for a moment.
That's why I want to follow you.
I'm going to work.
I can work there too.
- You want to work there too? - Yes.
I'll think about it.
Let's go.
We got to the kitchen.
Here. If you eat your breakfast well, I'll really think about it.
Can I have my breakfast, please?
You should finish everything, though.
I'll think about it.
Thank you.
- Take a sip of water, A Rin. - Okay.
Can I put this in?
(A video sent from an unknown number)
(Unknown number)
Look at this punk.
Did you send it?
- Tae Ju? - Is that you?
- What are you talking about? - What are you doing here?
I got a message that Baek Seung Kyu's phone was obtained.
We're supposed to meet here.
Both of you...
have come.
Gosh, I didn't expect to see you again like this, Teo.
You don't need to say hello.
Where is the security camera footage...
of Baek Seung Kyu's apartment building?
Why are you looking for that from us?
Because one of you would know.
I think the perpetrator would know better...
than the victim.
Oh, no. I deleted everything.
You did?
I should go to the police station to sort it out then.
But what should I bring?
A video of you punching him?
Or should I bring Baek Seung Kyu himself?
Gosh, should I bring both?
Bring the light one. That'd be easier.
Darn it. Tae Ju.
I'm not the only one who would be in a difficult position.
It's over if they find out that I hid the evidence away.
You shut your darn mouth.
Chairman Kwon Young Ik.
His daughter was caught in the footage of that day.
You don't know how to shut your mouth.
Gosh.
Hello.
You visited in the afternoon today. You usually come at night.
How is he?
There's no sign of recovery yet.
Do you think...
he will wake up?
Don't lose hope.
It will take time,
but a miracle happens sometimes.
I can't do it anymore.
I'll just leave quietly.
I quit my job and put my apartment on sale.
Seung Kyu.
What's the matter? Don't be like this.
Do you need money?
How much do you need?
Please stop!
Gosh, this is...
When I think about what I did to Ms. Seo...
because of the darn money,
I can't do it anymore.
I'm not doing it.
Hey.
Don't be mistaken.
Do you think you can get away with it if you pull out now?
No.
Does your girlfriend know?
That you're a piece of trash?
What did you just say?
Say it again.
Yes. You're right.
It's a matter of time before the company finds out about it...
if Mr. Yoon finds the home security camera footage anyway.
It's not like running away will solve the issue.
Let's just end everything here.
Seung Kyu.
- Why are you doing this? - This is better...
- than to be pointed fingers at. - Don't do this.
Don't you think so?
Don't do this, Seung Kyu. Please!
No!
Father.
Please help me.
Seung Kyu...
He fell from the rooftop.
He was threatening me and trying to die together. I had no choice.
Is he dead?
I don't know.
Seung Kyu.
Can I really have...
hope?
(It has just begun. Look forward to it. From AMI)
(Professor Heo Soon Young)
I had no idea.
I didn't imagine it at all.
I've never thought that she was not your daughter.
Do you really not know?
Know what?
Even though our relationship was over,
I tried to tolerate it...
because you were my child's father.

You know Baek Seung Kyu, don't you?
Baek Seung Kyu?
Who's that?
Then I'll ask Chairman Kwon.
Baek received a Yein scholarship.
The chairman might know the name.

(Message)
(No saved conversations)
Can I get the records...
of incoming and outgoing messages as well?
Let me verify your identity before proceeding, sir.
Sure.
Is this Heo Chi Young speaking?
Who?
Is this Heo Chi Young who is calling?
What? You came without notice.
You didn't pick up the phone. I was worried.
These are for A Rin.
What's the matter?
I couldn't reach you. I was worried.
I'm busy. I should prepare research papers.
Let's talk later.
Did you tell A Rin about me?
You didn't tell her yet, did you?
When on earth are you going to tell her?
Yoon Jin.
I told you I wanted to talk later.
Soon Young.
You should give me a chance...
to explain, at least.
Fine.
Explain.
What in the world did you do with Baek Seung Kyu?
It was because I was anxious.
I was so anxious.
You said you would end the relationship with her,
but do you think I didn't know that you were obsessed with her?
Our new house. It was under her father's name.
How do you think I felt when I found out about it?
That's why I asked Seung Kyu.
Because he could always watch her in the office.
That was all.
But...
he suddenly started not to cooperate.
I called him out and tried to persuade him.
But it didn't work.
- Why did he do that? - I'm not too sure,
but it seemed that he was under huge financial pressure.
Knowing that, I helped him a few times.
He must've thought that he could make a lot of money with that.
He kept threatening me for doing something I didn't even ask him for.
This is the truth.
What I'm saying is the truth, Soon Young. Please trust me.
Why did you pretend to be Heo Chi Young then?
What...
- are you talking about? - Why did you call Baek Seung Kyu...
on the phone...
under Heo Chi Young of all people?
That's...
- That's... - Let's stop this.
Soon Young.
Listen to me, Soon Young.
I kept contemplating.
About how I can ask...
for forgiveness for what I did to you.
I kept thinking about it.
What do you mean?
That we're over.
I'm warning you.
Don't go to A Rin's kindergarten.
Visit her without telling me once again.
I won't stay still.
Listen up.
"Once upon a time, there was a rabbit and a turtle."
Can I go in?
No.
I came to take a dinner order.
I'm not eating.
I'm sorry.
Tell me what you're sorry for.
Can I go in and tell you?
A Rin, you were reading a book.
I haven't been paid much attention to you these days,
not knowing you were having a hard time.
Right?
I'm not mad because of that.
Why are you mad then?
Because you told Dad to move out.
A Rin, that's...
Well...
Dad cried a lot after arguing with his friend.
He was always there for me when I was crying.
Mom.
What if he's crying again somewhere else?
Both you...
and I aren't there.
So don't tell him to go out.
I won't.
Promise me.
I promise.
- Do you want to go eat now? - Yes.
Let's go. Let's go and eat, A Rin.
Hold my hand.
- Mom. - Yes?
Can I visit Seo Jun after eating?
Of course, you can.
Okay.
What are you doing here? You should've called me.
He came again.
Nam Tae Ju.
I see.
The man who got rid of the CCTV footage?
Yes.
Come in.
Do you want something to drink?
I'm not in a good mood today.
Do you want to grab a beer after a while?
No, thanks. I'm good.
Yoon Jin.
That man is more vicious than you think.
If he takes any step further,
things won't be favorable for Chairman Kwon either.
Has it been five years since you worked for my dad?
You still don't know my dad, do you?
Don't worry.
This won't get him in trouble.
- Kwon Yoon Jin... - How's Ha Jin's new hospital?
That guy is a skillful doctor.
And I also know him personally.
When I told him he was your son,
he said he'd pay extra attention.
Thanks.
Sorry that I can't return your favor.
No need to say that.
When's the result coming out?
Is he really going to be okay after surgery?
You need to show me his pictures.
I heard families with kids are dying to brag about their kids.
But you never do that.
Is that what you did to Seung Kyu?
You always know...
why I'm desperate.
Even if I don't say it, you always give me help first.
Because you know, one day,
that will catch up with me.
What are you talking about?
I can't believe I'm hearing that for helping my friend.
Kwon Yoon Jin.
You're just like your dad.
I know you hate to hear this,
but that's how he treated...
Jae Won.
I'm leaving.
Yes, I'm all out.
"Already?"
Already what?
Beer.
Don't think about saying anything stupid. Just send me money.
I'm going to check in five.
How dare he...
This is Kwon Yoon Jin.
(Nam Tae Ju)
Yoon Teo knows already.
A Rin isn't home.
She went to Seo Jun's.
(Seoul Family Court)
Let's end it quietly.
Tell me if there's any condition you want.
I'll do what you want.
I told you.
All I need is A Rin.
You know that's not going to happen.
A Rin.
She's not your daughter.
She's my daughter.
No matter what they say, she's my daughter.
So...
don't ever say that again.
- Jae Won. - Dad.
What brings you at this hour? Is everything all right?
Nothing.
I just missed you.
My goodness.
Come in.
Goodness.
Come here.
Oh, my.
Do you still think I'm a kid?
You still are.
To parents, no matter how big the child is, they're still kids.
Eat. You must be hungry.
Thank you.
It's good.
Dad.
Do you want some fruits?
Come and sit down.
Oh, goodness.
I think...
I have to divorce him.
Sorry for disappointing you.
I'm sure you had no choice.
It's my fault.
He didn't do anything wrong. It's me.
Jae Won.
Don't think about doing anything bad like your mom did.
I'm different from Mom.
I know.
Dad.
When Mom gave you a hard time,
why didn't you leave her?
I know. I must've been crazy.
No matter how addicted she was to gambling,
what kind of a woman leaves her child...
to the loan sharks for security?
It was just absurd.
- Did she? - Don't you remember?
My goodness.
I guess you only have good memories about your mom.
March. It's 5,000 dollars for Jung Mi Hyang.
I checked 5,000 dollars for Jung Mi Hyang.
Mom, I want jjajangmyeon.
I'll get it for you when I come back later.
Play with the men here.
I'll be back soon, so wait here quietly. Okay?
- Did you bring it? - Yes, it's 4,000 dollars.
- Can't you do better? - Oh, no.
- Do better. - There's nothing.
This isn't going well.
There goes one.
(Daily Installment)
Yoon Jin.
- Mr. Seo. - Yes. Are you okay?
What brings you here?
It's for Mi Hyang.
It's 5,000 dollars.
(Cash loan)
Yoon Jin.
Weren't you scared?
Let's go home.
I'm hungry.
They didn't even feed you?
Those darn jerks.
Mr. Seo, I want jjajangmyeon.
Jjajangmyeon?
Too bad. All the jjajangmyeon restaurants are closed now.
I promise you I'll buy you jjajangmyeon tomorrow.
Let's eat at home tonight.
But I'll make you a rolled omelet...
and grill sausages for you. What do you say?
I'd love that.
Let's go home.
Okay!
I knew Mom left me,
but I guess I wasn't scared at all.
Because I knew you were coming.
That's why I couldn't leave.
I should get going.
What? Are you leaving?
Yes, I have work tomorrow.
Goodness.
Drive safe at night.
Dad.
Take good care of yourself,
and stay next to me for a long time.
Yes.
I will.
(Respect traffic signals.)
Let's go now.
(Seoul Family Court)
Honey.
I'm scared.
When...
A Rin grows up,
how will she remember this moment...
and us?
What if she remembers me as a bad mom?
My A Rin.
Please raise her well.
Ms. Seo, you came to work.
How do you feel?
Good.
What's my schedule for today?
Professor Heo said...
you needed to rest for a few days.
So I canceled everything on your schedule for this week.
Soon Young said that?
Yes.
Reschedule everything. Don't leave anything behind.
Yes, ma'am.
Here's the collection of our sleep brand to be released soon.
To dominate the sleep industry,
we will help customers choose the options...
to their liking...
and create the bedroom as they want.
So, customers will get to choose?
Yes, that is correct.
Then let's hold a design preference survey on our target.
When the result is out,
let's have the next meeting on 17th.
On 17th?
Today is 17th.
Isn't it 15th today?
It's 17th today, ma'am.
Should I schedule the next meeting on 19th?
Let's do that.
Is Mr. Yoon on an outside meeting?
He went to the Busan Exhibition.
He'll probably be back tomorrow.
Exhibition?
He didn't say that yesterday.
It's a four-day plan. He left the day before yesterday.
Ms. Seo, is there a problem?
No.
What time is the meeting with the client?
You have to leave now.
A Rin, go wash your hands. Let's eat.
A Rin, what are you thinking?
I made fried rice, your favorite.
- Dad. - Yes?
When's Mom coming home?
You know she's busy.
Let's sleep together tonight.
It's Mom.
A Rin, Mommy's home.
- Mom. - A Rin.
What did you do today?
Did you have fun?
Mom, how can you sleep outside without telling me?
I was so busy with work. Sorry.
Dad said you weren't coming home tonight.
You're a liar.
Did he say that? That's strange.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
You have to sleep with me tonight instead.
- Okay. - Here.
- Pinky promise. - Pinky promise.
A Rin.
- Go wash your hands. - Okay.
- Make sure to wash thoroughly. - Okay.
- What were you... - Sorry, honey.
I had some work left, so I went to the studio...
and fell asleep.
What are you talking about?
I'm really sorry.
I've been so busy with contracts and meetings.
Did you call Secretary Kim?
And told her to cancel my schedule?
Jae Won, are you...
Dad, I'm done washing my hands.
I'm starving.
Can we talk after dinner?
Don't say there isn't food for me.
A Rin, were you hungry?
No.
