Watch: Park Hyung Sik And Han Hyo Joo Run From Bloodthirsty People Infected By Mysterious Disease In New Teaser For "Happiness"

Oct 24, 2021

tvN has shared a thrilling new sneak peek of its upcoming drama “Happiness” (literal title)!

“Happiness” is an apocalyptic thriller that takes place in the near future, set in a high-rise apartment building stratified by social standing. The building is sealed off when a new infectious disease emerges in the city, and the drama will depict the residents’ fear, fierce psychological battles, and desperate struggle for survival within the closed-off building.

The newly released teaser begins with a chilling glimpse of blood and a text message saying “Mom, I’m okay” that remains ominously unread. After her world turns upside down in the blink of an eye, a worried Yoon Sae Bom (Han Hyo Joo) asks in voice-over, “Will we be able to go back [to how things were]?”

As the clip shows flashes of people transforming after being infected by the disease, Jung Yi Hyun (Park Hyung Sik) warns, “As the number of outbreaks increases, that state of mind will collapse completely.” Realizing that the diseased develop an unsatiable thirst for blood and are drawn to its smell, Yoon Sae Bom exclaims, “It’s blood.”

Some of the apartment building’s residents attempt to cover up the truth, suggesting, “All we need to do is keep our mouths shut and stick together in pretending like it’s not a big deal.” As a result, the disease eventually starts spreading throughout the building.

Han Tae Suk (played by Jo Woo Jin) mysteriously remarks, “The matter of survival is more important than a few people killing and tearing each other apart,” while an upset Jung Yi Hyun tells someone off-camera, “If you’re a human being, you should take at least a minimum level of responsibility.”

“Happiness” will premiere on November 5 at 10:40 p.m. KST. Check out the new teaser below!
