Battle for Happiness (Happiness Battle / Haengbokbaeteul / 행복배틀)

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

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

This is an annual event.

Why are there so many applicants this year?

The prizes are good.

PREVIOUSLY

What? Is it someone you know?

Ji-yul and Ha-yul.

Happiness is all about sharing.

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

We have decided to perform a musical called Red Shoes.

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

- Congratulations! - Ji-yul, congratulations.

Who ordered this?

Are you trying to kill her?

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

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

This is Assistant Manager Jang Mi-ho from DGB Bank.

It's so good to hear from you.

What is this?

How I feel.

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

- It's not hot, is it? - No.

What's wrong with this?

You're home, honey?

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

Wait.

Yu-jin.

My husband doesn't know.

How will I explain this to him?

Yu-jin.

Yu-jin, are you home?

Yu-jin.

Didn't you hear me?

I did. How many times must you call out my name?

You just can't do anything without me.

It was messy here, so I was cleaning it up.

Here.

Someone's here.

Who else would come here at this time?

It's the other moms.

I'll get the door.

You go finish washing up the kids, please.

I definitely gave it back.

- Bye. - Wait.

You know we need to talk.

Let's talk properly after I turn the guests away.

What took you so long?

I'm not feeling well today.

I'm sorry, but can we meet some other time?

But...

What? This is absurd.

She's avoiding us, isn't she?

Let her be.

Jung-ah.

Are we backing off like this?

She says she's sick. What else can we do?

Why aren't we leaving?

We are.

What?

What are you afraid of getting caught for?

What are you talking about? Let's go.

I guess you had a guest over.

I came to ask if you wanted some porridge.

I see.

Who are you?

Are you a friend?

No.

I'm Jang Mi-ho.

Ms. Oh Yu-jin won in the family photo event

that was held at our bank.

We are doing a photoshoot with the winner's family,

so I came to propose doing an advertisement with us.

Oh, I see.

But on Saturday, at this hour?

You're right.

This was the only time we both were free.

If you say so.

I'll buy you porridge next time.

Well, then. I'll let you two talk.

It was me, wasn't it?

I was the problem.

No, it's not like that.

Are you scared that I'll tell them something about you?

The money was to keep my mouth shut?

You are the same.

You haven't changed one bit.

Look who's talking.

How can you be so confident?

You think you and I are in the same shoes?

I think you have more to lose than I do.

It felt unfair that only you seemed to be living such a good life.

So if you don't want others

to find out what you did, shut your mouth.

EPISODE 2

Dad!

I'm going to eat it first.

No, I'll eat it first!

No, I'll eat it first.

No, I'm going to eat it first.

- Hurry up, Dad. - Hurry up, Dad.

Hurry up.

Dad.

- Hurry up. - Hurry up.

I am doing my best here.

Give it.

You take too much off, honey.

Oh, honey.

Honey!

- No picture today? - What?

Of course we must.

Shall we say "mango"?

One, two, three.

My husband in full charge of child care.

He's struggling today again to feed the kids.

Come on. "Full charge" is an overstatement.

Don't you know how I got this many followers in just a few years?

People want to see nice, happy things,

not something pitiful.

- Besides, it's all true. - Well, I just...

People might get jealous of you.

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

Because I will do anything...

Just about anything to protect us.

OH YU-JIN

OH YU-JIN

Was I too harsh?

I was too harsh...

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

PHOTOSHOOT PROPOSAL WITH EVENT WINNER

What a busy day.

Ms. Jang. Mr. Lee. To the conference room.

Yes?

What?

Okay. Let's go.

What didn't he like?

INFLUENCER OH YU-JIN

It's nothing big.

You know how the vice chairman loves to look hip, right?

By imitating young people.

He likes the follow-up idea, but he wants to do the photoshoot

with influencer winner Oh Yu-jin, not the grand prize winner.

For the social media advertisement effect.

I see.

- What? - Why?

You suggested Oh Yu-jin too.

You said no because it wouldn't be fair.

That's what the vice chairman wants. What can I do?

I'll give you plenty of time to revise the report.

- By tomorrow. - But...

Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang.

Is your hearing okay?

Do you have to bother me even when I'm eating?

You said you'd buy me a meal.

- When did I say that? - More than eight months ago.

I probably didn't mean that we'd eat together.

Go ahead and eat. It's on me.

I can't believe you.

Listen.

Should I call Ms. Oh Yu-jin for you?

Here is your order.

You seem not to have moved on for so long.

What is your relationship? Friends?

Shut up and eat.

This is why I don't eat with other people.

This is better, right?

Yes, I'm on my way home.

I am a bit tired.

Can you stop saying that?

I think you're lying because you don't want to talk to me.

How can you say that every day?

Don't you think about how it'd make me feel?

It's not like that, Mom.

Don't get mad.

I'm sorry.

Okay. I'll answer your call right away.

You hang up first, Mom.

Bye.

As you already know, other moms are all talking about you.

Unless you want them all as your enemies,

shouldn't you give them a peace offering?

She has lied about so many things.

If Ji-yul got the Snow White role in an unfair way,

we must publicize it.

Who can mediate this, if not me?

My lovely men.

I am feeding all of you again as usual.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Here. - Oh, yeah.

You don't want them to keep bringing up what happened two years ago, right?

I hope you come up with a wise solution.

I asked you all to come here once again because...

There are many objections regarding the performance, so we need to discuss it.

Actually, I'm the one who suggested that we meet today.

Ella won't play Show White

in this year's performance.

What is she talking about?
