BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

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

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

2022 PROMOTION CANDIDATES JANG MI-HO

Her performance has been grade-A for three years in a row

and her reputation is very good.

What is it?

COMPLAINT

Where are you right now?

-What? -A complaint letter was sent to the bank.

I wish to make a complaint against Assistant Manager Jang Mi-ho

in the Digital Division.

Jang Mi-ho and Bannae-dong murder victim A were stepsisters in a remarried family.

When she was in high school, she seduced her stepfather,

and in order to hide this,

she threatened and tried to make A commit suicide,

but she failed.

Years passed, but Ms. Jang still had a grudge against A,

so she approached A again

and mentally abused her by bringing up the past.

Jang Mi-ho did not stop at deeply hurting many people surrounding victim A

and has now approached A's children claiming to look after them.

I am exposing the truth about Jang Mi-ho to prevent further harm,

hoping that appropriate action will be taken against her.

DGB BANK

The director is yelling.

-The worst mood since I joined. -The worst ever.

I'll need the director's approval later.

Wow. She's here.

Oh, my.

EPISODE 8

HUMAN RESOURCES

It's a malicious slander that hasn't been confirmed,

so you must take the post down from the bulletin board.

If the company doesn't protect its employees, how can they work for it?

We will discuss and handle it according to the internal procedures.

The letter is signed and it came in officially,

so we must investigate it.

Investigate my past?

Or the murder charge?

Let me be clear.

Someone intentionally fabricated my past.

I do not need to explain

what happened in the past that wasn't even against the rule.

Besides, I am not a suspect, so why should I be questioned at a bank?

Even the police concluded that I'm in the clear.

I thought the police investigation result hasn't come out yet.

Then once the result comes out,

I'll be questioned here too.

Until then, I should be presumed innocent.

I won't ask you to delete the post on the bulletin board.

But at least black out any personal information.

They say they can't tell us who did it.

Does anyone come to mind?

Go ahead and ignore it.

Let's see how long you can last in this community with everyone's back

turned against you.

LEE JIN-SEOP

Your call is forwarded to voicemail...

Now we got the motive for murder.

It's scary. There are all kinds of people working in our bank.

Hey, watch your big mouth. You don't even know if that's true.

Why? The two of you can play together.

But we want to go to the kids' cafe too.

Chae-ah, Min-sung, and Eun-han

even went to a magic show yesterday.

I want to play with them.

Then should we call So-won?

Okay.

MS. HWANG JI-YE (SINDANG BRANCH)

-Hey. -Where are you?

We're at the playground. The girls want to play with So-won.

They do?

I'm sorry.

I'm at work right now.

Mom. Can I cut colored paper with scissors with Min-sung?

I'm sorry, but I have to go. I'll call you later.

So-won went somewhere.

The three of us can play today.

-Where should we go? -Yes!

You told me to answer the call. What were you doing?

You should've handled the kids.

Why are you blaming me after what you did?

What did I do?

You still don't know what's going on?

Jang Mi-ho showed me the text herself.

Wait. Ms. Song Jung-ah.

Why did you send me this text?

Let's make a deal. I'll give you what you want.

11:00 p.m.

Don't forget to bring the USB.

Where are you going without the kids?

To see the detective.

I found something, and I want to discuss it with him.

You found something?

Oh, it's about Yu-jin?

You should get going.

You want to come back before bedtime.

Please look after them.

What are you doing?

She caught me.

HWANG JI-YE

ADOPTION PAPER

Public locker B-7.

Code 5332.

It's 50 million won.

Take the envelope and leave the USB.

So-won's eyes look the same as yours

when she smiles.

No need to worry.

Whatever you do, you'll only get in the way of my plans.

So from now on,

just don't do anything.

She's your precious daughter.

You must protect her.

All right.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Good.

Again.

Auntie.

-Are you sad? -No.

No, I'm not sad.

Mom was like that too.

She was always looking at the USB.

And when I asked why she was sad, she never told me why.

You're not going to tell us why you're sad, either?

Well, I...

You see, I...

I am sad because people are mistaken about me.

There are people who think I did something very bad.

That's not true. You're a good person.

Right. You're the best person in the world.

-Really? -Yes.

This much.

-You're this good. -No, look at me.

This much.

This good.

You're this good.

You're this good.

-Bigger. -You're this good.

You're this good.

-How good? -This good!

Let go of my hands.

I don't want to.

PULL THE HANDLE

Let's go in.

PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN!

Come on.

Ha-yul.

I told you to stop running around. Let's keep it down.

Wait here.

Stop running, Ha-yul.

Who is it?

You didn't take me seriously?

How many times did I ask you to keep it down?

I'm sorry.

I told them not to run around.

-I'll pay more attention. -How annoying.

I won't let it slide next time.

Hello. I've warned the kids and done my best to keep it down,

but the downstairs neighbor has come many times to complain.

While searching for a solution, I wondered if placing mats would be a good idea.

You must deal with the noise problem wisely.

Those incidents are on the news for a reason.

You must avoid confrontations, so I think it'd be best to install mats.

Be sure to go downstairs to apologize and get them a present.

It could turn into a big conflict.

How annoying.

He looked familiar.

INNER SPIRIT COST ANALYSIS

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

Is this legit?

Nothing really stands out except the point of sale is simple.

Right? Their fixed costs went up three years ago,

but their sales went up too, so they shouldn't have a financial problem.

No. There must be something.

There must be something here.

Someone came?

I'll call you back soon.

What's this?

You crazy bitch. You're making me cuss!

What's the matter? The kids aren't even home!

How many times did I tell you to be quiet? Was it so hard to understand?

Leave, or I'll call the police!

Go ahead. I'll kill you all, so go ahead and try!

Either you leave or I leave. Let's end this once and for all.

I'll kill you all, so go ahead and try!

Don't worry about the Herinity's Night.

Have I ever disappointed you?

I'm not worried.

Thanks to you, I am able to get a good night's sleep.

By the way,

how are Ji-yul and Ha-yul?

Well, yes.

Please do not forget

that this school and the kids are most important to you.

Not just one specific child, but all of them.

Can I see Min-sung before I go?
