"Battle For Happiness" is basically a story centered around rich mothers and their children, but another person who doesn't belong to that world enters this world and that person is Mi Ho.
Mi Ho is a banker, she is not married and, in fact, she doesn't even think about it, but her life changes one day when she receives a phone call from Yu Jin, someone who used to be her sister when her parents got married. The two women meet again and, unexpectedly, Yu Jin dies and Mi Ho has to take care of her two daughters, since Yu Jin's husband is in a coma. Mi Ho finds everything very suspicious and starts to investigate what happened on the night Yu Jin died.
The rivalry between Mi Ho and Yu Jin started when they became teenagers, because Yu Jin started to feel the difference in the way her mother treated them, always favoring Mi Ho because she was the real daughter. Yu Jin only did small things at first, but the breaking point was when Mi Ho accidentally pushed Yu Jin and she hurt her face, leaving a scar. Yu Jin, out of revenge, told a horrible lie about Mi Ho having a relationship with her stepfather, which ruined her life. The parents divorced and the girls never saw each other again, until now.
Yu Jin was a complete bitch, she mistreated Mi Ho when they were children and continued to do so when they met again as adults, always trying to be the victim... but there is a hidden truth in this, something that no one knows and that is only revealed when Yu Jin dies. Her life was far from perfect, it was all a lie. Yu Jin's husband, Do Jun, was a pervert who even slept with his own daughter and traumatized the other two children by watching obscene videos of him. I think Yu Jin was completely right in trying to kill him, it's a shame she didn't succeed and ended up dying.
The drama had everything to be perfect, but for me Lee El didn't work as the protagonist, her expressions didn't match the atmosphere of the story, as if she always had the same face, no matter what happened on screen.
