BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, LOCATIONS AND
INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

Step back, please!

Hey! Hey!

What's that? Is that a person?

How horrible.

What floor is that?

One of them must've survived.

EPISODE 1

- He proposed.
- Where did you get that ring?

It's beautiful.

- A long-awaited vacation.
- Isn't my baby cute?

My good daughter always sleeps
to make my job easy.

Was it fun?

I'm only wearing this year's items
from head to toe.

THE WIND ISN'T HELPING

BARELY GOT ONE PHOTO

The wind isn't helping.
I barely got one photo.

Please stop, wind. I need a weather fairy.

JUNG-AH
CEO



I came to work after a long break.

But I came in at 11:00.

The privilege of being the CEO.

NA-YOUNG



I look puffy. Doomed.

My honey says I'm beautiful,
not knowing how upset I am.

Nothing looks good on me today.

On days like this, I don't want to go out.

Which color should I buy next time?

My honey is buying me a new one,
so I sorted out the purses I don't use.

Family trip. I was sipping on champagne
and got drunk.

Full of inspiration in the city of art.

My husband tells me not to worry
because he'll massage me.

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

In her application, she didn't have
money for her sister's lessons,

but she had a c*ck
at a bar with a beautiful view.

She must've thought we wouldn't check.

It's a social media event.

Isn't it common sense
to think that we'd check their stories?

I know.

Or maybe she couldn't help
but brag about it.

This is an annual event.

Why are there
so many applicants this year?

The prizes are good.

DGB HOME SWEET HOME FAMILY PHOTO EVENT



LS Electronics gave us their inventory
instead of paying interest.

YU-JIN - 17,000 FOLLOWERS
ELLA & EMMA & LOVE MY LIFE

What? What is it?

Ms. Jang. Is the list of
the event winners ready?

I'm still checking their stories.

What have you been doing?

You're not being fair, sir.

I know you're busy,
but the vice chairman is asking for it.

Hey. It'd be nice to show
your face to him once more

right before the promotion.

A promotion will come in due time.

Why isn't she desperate for anything?

Aren't you all going to lunch?

What do you want to eat, Mr. Lee?

What about beef tripe?

Something else.

- Oyster soup?
- Spicy chicken.

- Ate it last night.
- Spicy pork.

- That sounds good.
- I'm in.

- No, no.
- Why not?

You ate that for lunch yesterday.

- Once more won't hurt.
- Yeah.

Didn't we have the soy sauce version?

Why do we only eat that?

Here is your order.

MOM

Hi, Mom.

I'm having lunch right now.

You did?

Sorry. I must've been busy.

Did you take your medicine?

What do you think?

Oh, my! How can you be so good at it?

It's a laid-back day.

I made some snacks for Ji-yul and Ha-yul.

Priceless labor.

My kids don't eat what's not pretty.

So my cooking skills got better.

Queen of queens in plates.

What can't you do?

Where did you get that plate?

Crazy golden hand.
You're on another level.

I always get this wrong.

It's time for your meal, ma'am.

Go ahead and eat.

You're here.

Come on in.

I'm always receiving things from you.

Don't say that. It's us.

I can always make snacks for Min-sung.

It's because I feel like
I'm always benefitting from you.

It's so good.

How can you be good at everything?

Oh, right.

While I was at the department store,
I got something for Ji-yul and Ha-yul.

Who else would get things for them?

They're beautiful.

I'm the one benefitting this time.

- It's all about give and take, right?
- Of course.

Ta-da!

Oh, my! They're beautiful!

- Did you really make all these yourself?
- Of course.

Why would you bother making these?

You can just buy them.

Homemade ones and store-bought ones
aren't the same.

Money can't get you these.

Let's take a picture together.

I want to show them to my husband.

Did they come out well?

Unbelievable. I got one good picture.

I'll meet you downstairs, Yu-jin.

CCTV REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

sprit_ssong made a new post

I must brag about this.

This is true friendship. Friendship flex.

You must've forgotten to mention
that the cookies were from me.

LOL

love. _. chloemom has made a new post

So touched. Yu-jin made snacks for A-rin.

How can I ever repay her?

Did you have to use this picture
out of all the other better ones?

The bear cookies look squashed.

- Hello!
- Hi!

Hey!

Oh, my goodness.

- You're here.
- Hey!

Min-sung. Hi.

- Mom!
- Mom!

Ella?

She's been like this all day.

You must've loved playing hide-and-seek
with Dad yesterday.

You wanted to play it with Ms. Jo, too?

Why don't you go
and play with your friends?

Ms. Jo A-ra.

Ji-yul is doing well in school, right?

She is such a smart, good girl,
so I have no worries.

But...

Ji-yul does seem
a bit depressed these days.

You should pay more attention
to her at home.

She isn't like that at home.

You should pay more attention
to her at school.

- Pardon?
- You joined this kindergarten

two years ago, right?

I understand that you are
still learning your way with the kids.

Even so, you should be clear
about taking care of the kids

and being responsible, right?

- Ji-yul.
- Mom!

I asked you all to come today

to tell you what we have decided
on the upcoming performance.

- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Mom!

This year, we have decided to perform
a musical called Red Shoes

in English at LS Art Center,

accompanied by an orchestra.

Red Shoes?

- Wow. A musical.
- Where?

We'll hold a simple audition
to pick the main role.

The one who plays Snow White

will be photographed by
a professional photographer.

That sounds great.

Our kids will love it. But...

I don't know if boys will like it, too.

Since a girl is the main character.

I'm sure the principal thought
long and hard about it.

She probably tried her best to be fair.

They performed Jack and the Beanstalk
last year, right?

In the end, the kid who can sing best
is at an advantage, right?

Maybe I should tell my husband
and sign her up

for a musical class
or a vocal music class.

Do not worry.

Costumes, singing, acting and initiative.

We'll consider various aspects.

Then it should be fair.

The audition must be fair and...

I hope you can guarantee
that the audition will be fair.

We must not go through
what we did two years ago.

You don't need to worry about that.

The audition will be evaluated by experts

and we will reveal the scores
from every category.

I'm sure some of you have
different opinions,

but I ask for your cooperation
for the sake of a successful performance.

Of course.

After all, the performance
is for all of us to have fun.

Isn't that right?

I don't know who will be
playing Snow White,

but her mom will have a lot of work to do.

Exactly.

From practicing singing and acting,
to preparing costumes...

That mom will die from all the work.

I don't want to do it.

Am I the only one who thinks so?

I don't know if there will be
a commotion here.

"Don't know"?

There will definitely be a commotion.

No one knows what will happen this time.

Why? Did something happen before?

I guess it was before you joined us.

Two years ago,
they were selecting a child model.

So-won was selected, but they ended up
doing the audition again.

Why?

You know how Ji-yul has
a severe allergy to peanuts, right?

But someone gave her a peanut candy
the day before the audition.

In the end, all moms complained
that the audition was not fair.

Really?

It must've been crazy.

So who ended up winning? Ji-yul?

No, it was a kid
who doesn't go here anymore.

She ended up winning by default, right?

That must be our pizza.

Our kids will love it. But...

I don't know if boys will like it, too.

Since a girl is the main character.

In the end, the kid who can sing best
is at an advantage, right?

Maybe I should tell my husband
and sign her up

for a musical class
or a vocal music class.

Why are you laughing, Mom?

Because it's funny.

By the way,

let's do Peter Pan instead of Red Shoes.

- Peter Pan?
- Yes.

I want to be Captain Hook...

Ji-yul.

Why are you talking about Peter Pan?
You must focus on Snow White.

Ji-yul...

I really want you to play Snow White.

No. I'll make sure you play Snow White.

Everyone will be jealous
when I post it on my social media.

It's nice just thinking about it.

Right?

Here are the preliminary winners.

We'll categorize them

and pick out final winners
by scoring them in each category.

Let's see. Place large family ones here.

- Give multi-cultural families to Ko.
- Okay.

I'll put the influencers here.

OH YU-JIN

What? Is it someone you know?

Your first love? Or your friend?

Or your friend who stole your first love?

The perpetrator.

What?

Nothing. I was blabbering.

Which one is the perpetrator?
The woman? Or the man?

Tell us, Ms. Jang.

I think it's the woman.

I'm guessing that this woman
stole her first love.

Go.

- What?
- You have somewhere to be, right?

Give them to me and go.
I prefer to work without you, too.

I can't do that.

You've been antsy for a while now.

Weren't you signaling me to let you go?

SANGJIN HIGH SOCCER LEE JUNG-WOO

I'm sorry. It's a long-awaited reunion.

Ms. Jang. This isn't
just out of curiosity.

I can't stop thinking about it.

You never talk about your personal life.

- Oh Yu-jin...
- Go, or you'll be late.

Okay.

And turn off the lights.

"My bubbles are bursting."

"I think I'll become smaller and smaller."

She hasn't changed one bit.

No. She's changed a lot.

Then...

You can call these customers.

No.

I'll call these customers.

What's going on?

Is this really because of Oh Yu-jin?

Don't cross the line.

Congratulations once again,
Mr. Park Han-il.

PARK HAN-IL

Why am I so busy today?

Ms. Jang. Did you call up
the final winners?

I called everyone on my list,
but Mr. Lee isn't...

He went to help
at the Young Frontier event.

Just get it done.

Once he comes back...

Call the rest of them now. Okay?

I won't say it twice.

OH YU-JIN

Hello?

Hello.

This is Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*
from DGB Bank.

Yes. So?

I'm Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*.

Yes. What is this about?

The award ceremony
will be held next month.

Once the date is set, we'll...

How bothersome.

Why did Curator Hong
make me apply to this?

All right.

I'm busy right now,
so please call me back later.

Like this.

Begin.

ACTING STUDIO

Thank you so much, Ms. Lee.

I asked you to extend
the lesson time on short notice.

No problem.

Please come to see our performance.

You will come, right?

Of course I will.

Wait.

Thank you.

RECIPIENT: KIM NA-YOUNG

SENDER: DESIGNER JENA YU

Ji-yul. Stay with the housekeeper, okay?

SENDER: DESIGNER JENA YU
RECIPIENT: KIM NA-YOUNG

JUNG-AH

Hi, Jung-ah.

Ji-yul isn't feeling well today,
so I won't make it there today.

I'm sorry.

So you're purposefully avoiding us?

Let's get started.

I revised the script.

May I have your attention, please?

This performance can't be
all about Snow White, right?

Let's not get too narrow-sighted.

Let's try to see the big picture.

I gave more lines to the princes.

When did you have time to revise all this?

You got it done really quickly.
You're a CEO indeed.

I got some help.

Your subordinates must've worked hard.

I basically added a plot

of the princes who became dwarves
lifting the curse and saving Snow White.

Oh, no. I'm sorry.

If you all agree to the revised story,

I'll go tell the principal
on behalf of everyone here.

What do you all think?

Of course, we all love it.

Can I have some more salad, please?

I came here to this meeting

during the lunch break at work
because I want to keep the audition fair.

I would like all of us
to discuss this issue as well.

Ji-ye brought up the keyword.

Fairness.

The main roles must be
selected fairly too, right?

RECIPIENT: KIM NA-YOUNG

- Let's sing it once more, Ji-yul.
- Again?

You must know the lyrics by heart.

UPLOADING

UPLOAD COMPLETE

Ji-yul practices many times a day.

She's never taken singing lessons,
but she practices so diligently.

Musical Red Shoes.

Snow White Ji-yul who will
fill up the entire stage.

Please look forward to it.

Will Ji-yul be Snow White?

I must root for her.

Ji-yul's voice is so beautiful.

But will Ji-yul be able to
fill up the entire stage by herself?

I mean, she's shorter than her classmates.

Ji-yul's voice sounds hoarse like a man.

Did you make her practice too hard?

My Min-sung looks like a real prince.

I love the way he swings his sword.

I look forward to seeing Min-sung
on stage next year.

Oh, how beautiful.
She looks perfect in red.

I can't wait to see how beautiful she'll
look in Snow White's dress.

A-rin looks beautiful.

But I don't think red is her color.

Be sure to inform HR of your leave
by this week.

This is Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*
from DGB Bank.

Yes. So?

I'm Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*.

Pass it over to Ms. Jang today.

How bothersome.

Why did Curator Hong
make me apply to this?

Ms. Jang, prepare the monthly report.

I'm busy right now,
so please call me back later.

HAS SHE FORGOTTEN ME? B****

It's Ms. Jang again.

B****

- Ms. Jang.
- Yes?

Do you have any good ideas?

On how to utilize the winners
of the family photo event.

Sir.

How about doing a photoshoot
with one of the winners?

To publish in magazines
or to use on apps and blogs.

- The grand prize winner?
- No.

The influencer winner.

Ms. Oh Yu-jin.

If we sh**t a vlog of the photoshoot
and post it on Oh Yu-jin's social media,

it could work as an advertisement.

Rather than being just an event,

doing a follow-up with one of the winners

would provide more source for the media,
so the vice chairman would like it, too.

That's a great idea.

But wouldn't the grand prize winner
be better than Oh Yu-jin?

Do it with the grand prize winner.

Work on it with Mr. Lee, okay?

What? Just like that?

Sir. It'd be better to do it
with Oh Yu-jin

to get more social media
advertisement effect.

But that wouldn't be fair, would it?

Let's report it within this week, okay?

Ms. Jang.

This darn vending machine.

It took my coin again.

Ms. Jang. We are already overworked.

I know we're just measly sl*ves here,
but isn't this too harsh?

You're right.

I did it again.

Do you love this job that much?

At this rate, I'll end up
living in the office, too.

I don't have time
to make arrangements for a sh**t.

Don't worry. I'll do it.

But that's...

By the way, Ms. Jang,

what happened between you and Oh Yu-jin?

You're acting like someone
who's still hung up

on her ex whom you had a bad breakup with.

Don't write a novel.

Not a novel.

When will I finish writing this report?

Aren't you coming?

Go ahead.
I want to stay here a bit longer.

Okay.

OH YU-JIN

Why did I save her number?

I don't want to do this.

Let's go now.

Okay.

I look forward to the performance.

Ji-yul is going to be the highlight
of this performance.

I look forward to it, Ms. Oh.

By the way, you made a great choice.

It was too far-fetched from the start
to increase the princes' parts.

Snow White is an independent woman.

I really want to thank you

for accepting my opinion to be freed
from an old-fashioned mindset.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Ji-yul, congratulations.

No one can beat Ji-yul.

Don't say that.

Chae-ah was good, too.

That's why she was chosen to play Regina.

Is anyone free today?

I am. Why?

I was thinking of taking you guys
to the Artforèt Hotel pool.

I want to discuss how Ji-yul will rehearse
with the other characters.

Really?

We'd love that.

You're coming, too, Na-young?

I'm afraid I have plans.

- Then...
- Can So-won join instead?

- What role is So-won playing?
- Big Bunny?

Of course.

Then I will see you by the pool later.

Bye.

See you soon.

You did so well.

Are you upset, So-won?

I sang better than she did.

Right.

You did much better than she did.

Two years ago and today.

By the way, So-won,

are you sure about that peanut story?

How can we not have any cameras
by the front gate?

You know why.

There was an issue last year
about privacy infringement,

so all cameras were taken down
after the majority agreed.

Then what about my stolen package?

It was so long ago,
so why are you complaining to us now?

See? She got off on the 10th floor.

Please rewind.

Pause! Pause there.

Look. She saw my package!

How can you be so sure?

Besides, just because she saw it,
doesn't mean she stole it.

But...

You said you'd replace the cameras.
When will that be?

I can't see her face very well.

I'm going to tell my husband about this.

Wait.

Right here.

Here.

Zoom in.

No, wait, ma'am.

Jung-ah.

Aren't you going to do something?

I thought about it,
and I'm certain she took A-rin's dress.

You want to make an issue of it? Now?

It wasn't done fair and square.

It wasn't.

My honey won't let this slide
if he finds out.

You always talk about your husband.

Stop it.

We all have one.

And what?

You want to ask for a do-over, too?

At least Yu-jin had a good reason
for it two years ago.

What reason do you have?

The teachers were well-prepared this time.

They even hired Lee Jung-hwa's student
as one of the judges.

Lee Jung-hwa?

What? She didn't take any lessons?

Jung-ah.

I think Ji-yul got lessons
from Lee Jung-hwa.

- What?
- On the security camera footage,

I saw Yu-jin holding
Lee Jung-hwa's concert pamphlet.

This is absurd.

Maybe this audition

was rigged from the start.

This isn't enough.

It could put us in a bind
if we corner her without proof.

Yu-jin has many more followers
than you do.

So you'll sit back and do nothing?

No.

If the balance is lost,
we must do something.

Do you like it?

Pass!

Come here.

Ji-yul and Ha-yul, who are like mermaids.

Their faces are filled with joy.

Ji-yul won the Snow White role.

Artforèt Hotel pool.

Happiness is all about sharing.

Oh, I am so envious.

Come join us next time.

Oh, look at the time.

The kids need some snacks.

Ji-ye.

- Will you order snacks for the kids?
- Okay.

Two chicken tenders.

Two French fries and...

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Two sweet and sour chickens as well.

Yes, ma'am.

Guys. Come and eat your snacks!

Okay!

Let's eat some snacks.

Ji-yul, I'll help you.

Ha-yul. Good.

- Mom.
- Okay. Hold on.

Good. Good job.

Mom!

miho_jang726 has started following you

Is it good?

"Mi-h* Jang"?

Hello.

This is Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*
from DGB Bank.

Yes. What is this about?

I'm Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*.

You should eat slowly.

Are you okay, Ji-yul?

Ji-yul!

What's going on?

I think this has peanuts.

Ji-yul must've accidentally eaten it.

Who ordered this?

- Who did?
- Well...

Oh, no. I completely forgot.

Have you gone mad?

Are you trying to k*ll her?

Oh, no.

Let's go to the hospital.

Didn't you say Ji-yul has
a severe peanut allergy?

I think you said that
her throat swells up immediately.

Let's go to the hospital.

Why?

How could you eat that?
You should've spit it out.

Why? I don't think I'm allergic.

Yes, you are.

You absolutely are.

BANNAE BEAUTY DERMATOLOGY

Ji-yul ate peanuts.

She saw a doctor and got treated.

Fortunately, the allergic reactions
are almost gone now.

Thank you for your concerns.

Ms. Jang. Oh Yu-jin lives in Bannae-dong.

BANNAE STATION

She lives in a rich neighborhood.

I heard that her husband is a dentist.

I guess you must be
that well-off to live there.

Hello.

Draw the curtains.

Oh, come on.

You were the one who yelled at her
for not coming over.

It's okay.

OH YU-JIN

Ji-yul went to the hospital.

She's all better now.
You were worried, weren't you?

Why isn't anyone responding?

RECIPIENT: KIM NA-YOUNG

Why is everyone so quiet?

GOLD MOM

What?

Did you all have fun?

I must join you next time.

The girls are eating so well.

Was the sweet and sour chicken that good?

Who sprinkled yummy-looking peanuts?

This must be it.

The truth about the incident
two years ago.

How could she lie like that
to let her girl audition again?

But...

It can't possibly be a lie.

She's already lied about
Ji-yul not taking singing lessons.

Who knows?

Maybe there are other things
that she's lied about.

True.

Now that I think about it,

Yu-jin occasionally mentions
her in-laws in the U.S.,

but never about her parents
on social media.

Exactly.

Besides, it doesn't seem
clean and transparent

about how Ji-yul got the main role.

If she tricked us once,
she could do it again.

SONG JUNG-AH [JAYDEN'S MOM]

SONG JUNG-AH INVITED KIM NA-YOUNG

Jung-ah created a separate chatroom.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Is this Yu-jin?

I'm Assistant Manager Jang Mi-h*.

Is this Yu-jin?

I can't believe you're living so well.

Why?

Why now?

Who knows?

Maybe there are other things
that she's lied about.

OH YU-JIN

Where are you going, Mi-h*?

Later. I'm sorry.

Hello?

Is this Mi-h*?

Yes.

I wasn't sure at first. It really is you.

I never expected to hear from you.

It's so good to hear from you.

Yes.

How are you?

Is everything all right?

Yes. We are all doing well.

I'm home, Yu-jin.

I can't talk long.

Why don't we meet up?

Meet up?

Yes. I'll call you back.

- You're home?
- Yes.

You were in the utility room?

I was sorting out useless things.
We need to throw them out.

Hi.

I'm Jang Mi-h* in Class 7 of 4th grade.

YU-JIN - 17,000 FOLLOWERS
ELLA & EMMA & LOVE MY LIFE

Welcome.

It's really been a long time

since I last saw you.

- Yes.
- Your mom is doing well, right?

Yes.

She got a knee-joint surgery,
so she's in a nursing home right now.

My father passed away many years ago.

I see.

- Sorry.
- Don't be.

We may have lived as a family,

but you couldn't really
call us that, right?

Why...

did you call me?

No reason.

I was just curious how you were doing.

Is that it for real?

You must've had a reason.

Do I need a reason?

That incident...

Open it later.

What is this?

How I feel.

I'm sorry.

I left my kids with my husband,
so I should go.

Bye, then.

Yu-jin! Oh Yu-jin!

JANG MI-h*

JANG MI-h*

I'm in front of your place.
Come down right now.

Is she mad? How dare she!

Honey, you're home?

Yes, I am.

But I need to go take out the trash.

Okay.

Oh, no.

No!

I'm supposed to wash up first.

I'm older than you.

Ha-yul, why don't you wash
your feet with me first?

No!

If you have something to say, come up.

Tenth floor.

How should we bring it up?

We should ask right away
before she comes up with an excuse.

But isn't it too harsh
to g*ng up on her like this?

Do you seriously want to go easy on her?

We're not here to yell at her.

Let's not make this a big deal.

We should at least give her
a chance to explain, right?

Shall we go out and get coffee?

Let's go have coffee.

No. Why bother going out?

You want to come inside?

No. I came here to give this back.

Why on earth did you give this to me?

Hey. Are you listening to me?

Why? It's not enough?

What?

How could you say that?

Hey.

What are you trying to do here?

You're home, honey?

Get me the kids' body wash. We're out.

Wait.

Yu-jin.

Are you home?

Yu-jin.

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

We must do the commercial sh**t.

Mi-h*.

This time, it's your real aunt.

Wait and see!

I won't let this slide.

Everything you've done until now...

I will tell the bank.

She has lied about so many things.

I hope you come up with a wise solution.

Who can mediate this, if not me?

You can't do this to me.

You're the one who egged me on.

Let's reveal everything right here.

Let's do it.

Do you still hold a grudge against me?

Ji-yul was acting strange that day.

I think it's an abuse.

People might get jealous of you.

Don't worry. I won't let them.

I am willing to do whatever it takes.

Oh, right.

You're about to be promoted, right?

Ms. Kim.

I find it a bit odd.

Will you take a look at this?

Why did Ji-yul do that?

I'll take care of it.

I think you have more to lose than I do.
