ENA's new Wednesday-Thursday drama Happiness Battle (directed by Kim Yoon Cheol, written by Ju Young Ha, and produced by KT Studio Genie and HB Entertainment) is set to premiere on May 31 at 9 PM.
Happiness Battle is a suspense thriller that revolves around the fight between mothers competing for happiness on social media, where one dies under mysterious circumstances, and the struggle between those trying to conceal the secret and those seeking to reveal it. With a top-notch production team and trusted actors, it promises the birth of a well-made thriller.
In the midst of this, on May 15, the main poster for Happiness Battle and the behind-the-scenes making of the poster were revealed, drawing attention to the strong aura of the five women: Jang Mi Ho (played by Lee El), Song Jung Ah (played by Jin Seo Yun), Kim Na Young (played by Cha Ye Ryun), Oh Yu Jin (played by Park Hyo Joo), and Hwang Ji Ye (played by Woo Jeong Won).
First, the poster where the five women stand side by side, led by Lee El, catches the eye. While Jin Seo Yun, Cha Ye Ryun, Park Hyo Joo, and Woo Jeong Won are all dressed in black, Lee El stands alone in white, creating an eerie atmosphere. Furthermore, the intense gazes of the four women in black exude an indescribable chill. Along with the caption 'The war of these women to protect happiness,' the poster hints at the fierce battle that will unfold among them.
In another poster, Lee El stands in front with her arms crossed, while Jin Seo Yun, Cha Ye Ryun, Park Hyo Joo, and Woo Jeong Won gather behind, looking at Lee El. Jin Seo Yun's intense gaze and the exchange of opinions between Cha Ye Ryun, Park Hyo Joo, and Woo Jeong Won imply their opposition towards Lee El. The caption 'She died for someone's happiness' amplifies curiosity by revealing that the end of the war to protect happiness leads to someone's death.
On the same day, the behind-the-scenes making of the poster was released, capturing a completely different scene of the actors in a lively atmosphere. Lee El, Jin Seo Yun, Cha Ye Ryun, Park Hyo Joo, and Woo Jeong Won are seen laughing and conversing, but as soon as the shooting starts, they swiftly immerse themselves in the concept, displaying astonishing acting skills. After the shoot, they gather around the monitor, showcasing a strong teamwork bond. Anticipation rises to see what kind of synergy their special acting chemistry will bring to the drama.
