Drama Festa: The Essence of Happiness (Haengbokui Jinsoo / Essence of Happiness / 드라마 페스타 - 행복의 진수)

[ The characters, names, organizations, affiliations, and events appearing in this drama are fictitious. ]

Humans are also like animals that should learn how to be happy.

Although livelihood and employment issues have become part of our daily living,

we are the protagonists who are desperate to look for happiness...

...during our most shining and craziest moments.

Even a fifth-trier civil servant like me...

...is also one of those protagonists.

Please let me in. I'm really sorry.

Jin Soo.

Yes, sir.

Why are you so startled?

Well...

I just thought of other things for a moment.

You're really shocked.

About the report on building a good community for retired people...

Is is already finished?

Pardon?

A report?

I mean,

I must have already that report until noon.

You didn't know it?

Yes, I didn't.

I really didn't...

Seriously.

Oh, Ms. Kang.

You're here.

Well, about the report that should be submitted until this noon.

Is it already done?

Oh, about the happy community?

Yes. It's already done.

I mean, Jin Soo didn't know about it.

Goodness. You have poor communication between your team members.

The higher-ups wants to see it today.

I see.

Have you finished it or not?

Yes, I have finished it.

We have checked it yesterday.

I will leave immediately after lunch,

so give it to me before that time.

Yes, sir.

He haven't done anything.

He haven't done at all.

You didn't know about the report?

Yes, I didn't know it.

Hyeong Woo went to a fieldwork this morning, right?

Yes, I guess so.

Then,

try to call then ask him where did he put the report.

Yes, I understood.

Hello?

Hyeong Woo.

Yes. What's going on?

It's about the report that has to be submitted.

The plan for building a happy community.

Right now?

Oh, I have it there.

But what to do?

Can you send it to me right away?

Okay, but what should I do? It's hard to check it at this time.

Where did I...

Oppa, shall we go and drink some coffee?

- Hello? - Who is that?

What are you doing now?

Oh, yes. I'm in the middle of negotiations.

On a negotiation? When someone call you Oppa?

Yes.

I'm really sorry. It must be somewhere around my desk.

Can you do something and solve it, Jin Soo?

I'm still on discussions with someone.

Please do me a favor.

Bye.

How could say that while we're on the phone?

Well... Yes? Hello?

Hyeong Woo.

Have you found it?

Is everything ready?

Yes.

It's almost done.

As expected, I have to blend with anyone, everywhere I go.

Damn it!

That bastard! I'll just...

Building a happy community?

You let me do a rigid happy community plan...

...at this crappy situation.

But I...

I can only work hard.

What's the big deal in life?

We just have to live and eat well.

Young Jun, you said you want to be a public servant, right?

You have to think carefully as you're still young.

Think for a greater pasture.

I will.

That's why,

I'm thinking about making live games.

It's a single program.

Oh, really?

More than that,

a live game being used these days is Krater.

That's good.

Honestly speaking, though it's hard to find a job,

but if we try to slightly change our thoughts,

there are still many ways to go for.

No risk you can't encounter dealing with big matters.

What you think is really right. You're wise.

Yes.

For real...

Chief officer Namgoong, you're amazing.

Why call me a chief officer?

Just call me as your big bro instead.

Why call me that way?

Try thinking about doing only one thing for your whole life.

Is that how our life goes?

That's just being at our 20's.

I see.

Ma Yun, the former Alibaba's president, said this.

The 20th century is on the age of defeat.

And even when the 20th century has failed,

it can still recover back to its place again.

Big bro, how do you even know that?

You are really...

...talented, well-educated, and strong-willed.

It seems that you have everything.

And besides, you're good at carrying out tasks.

Carrying out tasks?

Actually,

I saw you that time.

What did you see?

Honestly,

even if anyone may want to resign,

but that is not an easy task.

Indeed.

You were like that.

Facing yourself with a resignation letter.

So to speak,

shouldn't our lives be prevailed with our sincere hearts?

A resignation letter?

How did you know that?

I just said that I saw it.

On the printer.

Oh, really?

You have that driving power that made me exclaimed.

I haven't learned anything from those adults recently.

but I found it interesting to work because of you.

Well, how did I deal with it?

At that time,

you submitted it together with the report.

Together with that report?

Yes.

Pack this and bring it to me.

Pack it and come back.

Sir...

Sir...

Sir, please wait.

Please wait a minute.

What's going on? What are you doing?

I have thought of it,

but the report hasn't been finished yet.

I seemed to have mixed-up some unnecessary data,

What are you saying now?

It's obvious that you prepared the data carefully.

Pardon?

We don't have enough time, so we have to finish this up.

Here is the revenue computations.

Oh, I didn't notice the time.

Hyeong Woo.

The data seems to have been sorted well.

I know it's very hard, but go to the district hall with me.

You didn't eat lunch.

You must be hungry now. I'm sorry.

It's nothing.

Uncle, how have you been?

Goodness. I have been living well here.

That sounds nice.

Uncle.

Just live there for a few years and come back.

Okay.

Okay.

After getting off from work, it's now a journey of myself.

This house is owned by my uncle who has been traveling for a long time.

I was in his nest during the past six months.

When I go home, my mind and heart feels so clear.

There are many things I have wanted to do.

At this moment,

a new day begins.

Like today,

when I stash myself for the whole day,

I watch a familiar movie to find myself in a stable state.

And that's also by watching an action movie.

From this movie, here is an uncle in the house next door who exudes strong charisma.

I'm very satisfied.

I have thought of becoming a movie director at some time.

Who knows?

That guy may have bought tofu and waited for me.

You're just gonna live for tomorrow, right?

What?

Those who live only for tomorrow...

...will definitely die in the hands of those who only live today.

You'll die in the hands of those who only live today.

What are you saying, you idiot?

I only live today.
