My Happy Ending

Jang Na-ra plays Seo Jae-won who is a successful furniture designer with her own company, she appears to have a loving family and supportive friends. One day it all starts to unfold and she finds out that everything was not what it seemed and her world begins to fall into a dark spiral. It is an interesting storyline and unusually for Korean dramas deals with mental health and the labelling by society of those who are different. It is slow paced and at times she makes what appear to be ridiculous decisions but overall the story holds your interest. Excellent acting all round and an enlightening story of how we should not be quick to alienate others who are facing struggles we all have to deal with to a degree.

Korean Drama '' My Happy Ending '' is a psychological drama about a woman who loses everything when she discovers the truth about everyone around her.

The drama has a strong psychological drama plot, as it confuses the audience on the real motives of those around the main lead. The guessing game on who is behind everything was, hence, nicely done, and more often than not, it was hard to pinpoint what's real and what's an illusion.

The drama, however, became a justice drama halfway through with not that many fresh ideas. Sure, they handled the main character's psychological problems brilliantly, with sensitivity and care, but the main story got predictable and the twists tiring.

Finally, the performances were strong.

So, overall, six out of ten.
