Directed by Yoon Jong Chan ( Blue Swallow), the wryly titled I Am Happy searches for hope & happiness amid depression & dementia. Popular actor Hyun Bin (A Millionaires First Love) & Lee Bo Young, who last made audiences cry in More Than Blue, play two wounded souls who meet at a mental hospital in this gentle melodrama inspired by a Lee Cheong Joon short novel.

Overwhelmed by his family tragedy & staggering circumstances, Man Soo loses his mind & ends up in a mental institution. He creates a new world for himself, one in which his family is wealthy & he can write off blank checks whenever he wants. & into this fragile world wanders troubled head nurse Soo Kyung (Lee Bo Young), who finds comfort in Man Soos smiling madness.
