First look at Jang Nara and Sohn Ho-joon in My Happy End

The first teaser has dropped for TV Chosun’s new psychological thriller My Happy End, reuniting Jang Nara (Family: The Unbreakable Bond) and Sohn Ho-joon (The First Responders 2) in a seemingly happy marriage.

Our heroine is the ambitious Seo Jae-won (Jang Nara), a self-made CEO of a respected household furniture brand – in addition to being an influencer, amassing a humble million followers on her social media accounts.

But in the midst of her busy chase for success, Jae-won is thrown for a loop when she’s betrayed by the people she trusted and because this is dramaland, it’s hard to say if it’s figurative or literal that someone (probably Jae-won) is shown drowning in the teaser.

In the flashbacks, we get a look into Jae-won’s cozy past with her husband Heo Soon-young (Sohn Ho-joon), a freelance designer who also teaches industrial design at a college. Understanding and easygoing, Soon-young is described as a devoted husband and caring dad, always prioritizing his family above else.

I have to remind myself, though, that he’s also a suspect and as the sequence continues, we cycle through all the innocently smiling faces of the people in our heroine’s life.

Playing Kwon Yoon-jin, So Yi-hyun (Red Shoes) is Jae-won’s friend from art school who went abroad to complete her post-graduate studies. But life didn’t pan out the way she had hoped and Yoon-jin can’t help the stirrings of jealousy when she’s reunited with Jae-won in South Korea.

Lee Ki-taek (Perfect Shot) plays Yoon Tae-oh (a.k.a. Tae-oh Harris), the head of design at Jae-won’s company. We also catch a glimpse of supporting characters Kim Hong-pa (Shadow Detective 2) and Park Ho-san (Twinkling Watermelon), before the teaser closes on Jae-won’s question to her betrayer: “Who are you?”

Written by Baek Sun-hee with PD Jo Soo-won (Today’s Webtoon, Thirty But Seventeen) at the helm, TV Chosun’s My Happy End will be coming to our screens in December.
