“Happiness” Episode 11 aired last night after watching it, I have a lot of thoughts to share, so here is a recap review of “Happiness” Episode 11.
If you recall, tvN has stated that “Happiness” will NOT have a second season and will end with only one, now, this is potentially both good and bad news and after watching “Happiness” episode 11, I am even more confused than ever.

“Happiness” episode 11 review
I was among the people happy the drama won’t be seasonal, with such a setting, the excitement level tends to go down as episodes progress. This drama has managed to not do that.
However, I also saw many say there isn’t much time left to wrap this up successfully.
So, when Sae Bom goes outside she sees people playing around as if everything is normal which begs the question, just how bad everything truly is? And how much is Han Tae-Seok lying?
Judging by the preview for episode 12, I am guessing the ending will not be fully a happy one.
Since the preview hints at how her antibodies count is going down, I believe society will crumble soon after unless they find someone else who has antibodies.
I don’t know how “Happiness” ending will turn out but I am sure it’ll be very eventful and bittersweet, I just hope that the screenwriter will be able to tie almost all loose ends.
I don’t have the biggest faith that he’ll do that successfully completely but I hope he surprises me.
I wouldn’t honestly hate it if the ending turns out to be heartbreaking but I bet most fans will riot afterward. I have a lot of feelings to share about Andrew and the shocking twist with his character but I’ll reserve my judgement for now and see how the ending turns out before I begin to complain.
So what did you guys think of the 11th episode?
I think the brother of the owner of 401 has antibody too
