Happiness is not a place or even circumstances, happiness is people around you

Review of the dorama "Happiness"

Happiness is not a place or even circumstances, happiness is people around you.

In the time grid of doramas of the beginning of December 2021, "Happiness" with the final episodes was confidently leading in terms of viewing ratings. There is nothing to say about the reasons for the project's popularity - they are transparent. From the very first episode we are waiting for the attraction of covid flashbacks with a set of realities that have become everyday realities: qr-codes, sanitizers, wearing masks, mode of (self-)isolation. All things we have only recently mastered and experienced. Months of social disconnection, clashing views on things, on the value of life, on the price of freedom, increasing levels of fear and panic. Covid humor is brilliant.

Do you know what we learned about during COVID-19?

The importance of hand washing?

Korean doramamakers decided to go further by exaggerating this situation, limiting the characters' action space (an apartment complex) and exacerbating the scale of the problem to the point of being overwhelming (zombies in post-covid time). This technique was reminiscent of the not-so-famous "Squid Game". While the latter presents a model of survival in a capitalist world, "Happiness" becomes a model of survival in an infected world.

This hyperbolization allows us to look at the problem at the level of completeness of the previous one, facilitating its full comprehension. Thus, it is interesting to observe the behavior of people in the situation. Who are the monsters? Infected or living next to us, sharing the walls of our outwardly happy apartment buildings?

The main scene, as mentioned, is the apartment building complex. It is invariably unsettling to watch "one's" space, which a priori should provide security, become "alien". One can always think that Wuhan is somewhere very far away, that Africa is in another world altogether. The dorama inexorably broadcasts the idea that nothing is eternal and durable.

The characters, as far as I'm concerned, were revealed just fine, and I quickly became 'kindred' with them.

Yoon Sae-Beom - serves in the special forces, she is strong, smart, confident and incredibly attractive with her simplicity and charm.

Jung I-Hyun is a detective in the police, he is also strong, smart, fair, calm and restrained (well, almost always), he attracts with his loyalty to himself, attitude to the world, people and also immense charm.

Secondary characters. From the 'elite' to the 'simpletons' - everyone is good. Each character performed their functions as they should: the one who should piss off - pissed off, the one who should cause increased empathy - caused, and so on.

The leitmotif of the dorama is in its very title. Happiness is mentioned in almost every episode. And if at first it is equated with solving the housing issue, then closer to the finale the priorities of the characters change. Warm, touching, sometimes naive, but very natural.

The evolution of the idea of happiness is shown most vividly by the example of Sae Bum (Han Hye Ju). If at first it is just a beautiful box in which she feels comfortable, then in the end those who are in the box with her become important. The box itself ceases to be the goal and becomes the means, while the one who was the means becomes the goal.

The on-screen interaction between Park Hyung Shik (Jeon Yi Hyun) and Han Hye Joo (Yoon Se Bom) was minimal in terms of romance. That said, even without the formulaic dorama scenes, only a blind man could not see the love, sacrifice, care, and devotion that bound these characters together.

I would not like to analyze in detail the plot holes, the fantasy of situations (sometimes reaching absurdity), contradictions in the logic of actions and decisions of the heroes, but they are there (especially closer to the finale). Yes and will be with them.

Happiness cannot be reduced to a high-rise building. It represents simple warm human relationships. Love received and love given. And we saw it all here…. on a clear day. with a beautiful blue sky. happiness.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung’s Characters Find Their Happy Ending

The Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ has come to an end with its 20th episode, delivering a satisfying conclusion for the characters and the viewers. The superhero action drama, based on the webtoon by Kang Full, starred Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and other talented actors as people with hidden superpowers who fight against dark forces.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: The Final Battle

(Photo : Disney+) The finale episode began with a tense showdown between Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Joon Hwa (Yang Dong Geun), a North Korean soldier who also has the ability to fly. Mi Hyun was in danger of being killed by Joon Hwa, but her son Kim Bong Seok (Lee Jung Ha) came to her rescue and fought against him. However, Mi Hyun wanted Bong Seok to run away, knowing that the North Korean troop leader Kim Deok Yoon (Park Hee Soon) was aiming a gun at him. Fortunately, Bong Seok was saved by Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun), who used his electromagnetic power to kill Joon Hwa. Deok Yoon then tried to escape with the files that contained the secrets of the superpowered people, but he was chased by Jang Joo Won (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) to the rooftop.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Joo Won and Jae Man confronted Deok Yoon, who revealed that he had been working for Frank (Ryoo Seung Bum), a mysterious man who wanted to use the superpowers for his own agenda. Deok Yoon also confessed that he was the one who killed Jae Man’s father 50 years ago, when he was part of a secret mission to capture the superpowered people. Deok Yoon then tried to jump off the building with the files, but he was stopped by Joo Won, who grabbed his arm. Jae Man then shot Deok Yoon in the chest, causing him to fall. Joo Won managed to hold on to the files and pulled himself up.

The Aftermath

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) A year later, the superpowered people were living normal lives without being hunted by anyone. Jang Hee Soo (Go Youn Jung) and Lee Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) graduated from high school with their parents’ attendance, except for Bong Seok and Mi Hyun, who had gone into hiding since the incident. Joo Won continued his chicken business with Kwon Young Deuk (Park Gwang Jae), a former North Korean soldier who became his assistant. Hee Soo entered the university’s physical education department and became friends with Shin Hye Won (Shim Dal Gi), a girl who had super speed. Kang Hoon visited Mr. Min (Moon Sung Geun), the head of the NIS, and expressed his desire to join the agency with one condition: to clear his father’s name from criminal records. Mr. Min agreed and revealed that Kang Hoon’s father was actually a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the superpowered people from Frank.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Kang Hoon also met the school guard and his classmate who disguised themselves as part of Jeonwon High School, but in reality they were high-ranking NIS officials who had been monitoring the superpowered people. Bong Seok and Mi Hyun left town and lived a peaceful life in a rural area. They occasionally received letters from Hee Soo and Kang Hoon, who updated them on their lives. Hee Soo also told them about a superhero wearing a yellow cape who appeared in Seoul and saved people from danger. In the last scene, it was revealed that the superhero was Kim Doo Shik (Zo In Sung), Bong Seok’s father and Mi Hyun’s husband, who had been held captive by Frank for 50 years. He managed to escape with the help of Park Il Chan (Jo Bok Rae), a North Korean soldier who sympathized with him. Doo Shik returned to South Korea and killed Frank, who had been hiding as an American businessman named Mark (Daniel C Kennedy). He then reunited with his family and hugged them tightly.

The Reviews

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) The final episode of ‘Moving’ received positive reviews from both critics and viewers, who praised the cast’s performances, the director’s skills, and the writer’s creativity. The series also achieved high ratings on Disney+, becoming one of the most-watched original shows on the platform. Some of the comments from netizens are: “I’m so happy that they all got their happy endings. Especially Doo Shik, he deserved it after suffering for so long.” “This was such a great series. The action scenes were amazing, the story was engaging, and the characters were lovable. I’m going to miss them so much.” “Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Zo In Sung are such legends. They nailed their roles and made me feel all kinds of emotions. I hope they work together again in the future.” “Moving was one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. It stayed true to the webtoon but also added some twists and surprises. Kang Full is a genius and Park In Je is a master.” “I’m so glad that I watched this show. It was a roller coaster ride of action, drama, comedy, and romance. It had everything I wanted and more. Thank you to the cast and crew for this masterpiece.” What do you think of the final episode of ‘Moving’? Did you enjoy the series? Share your thoughts and leave a comment below.
