Does this drama have a Happy Ending?

Notes

I do believe that this short drama has a happy ending, though I saw comments that say the opposite. Here is where the spoilers come in.

Most comments saying this is not a happy ending were hoping that she ends up with someone, one of the four guys. But she doesn’t instead she makes the decision to be on her own for now. Which I think is also a happy ending to not give into the pressure of society that seems to think that she has to be married and all with 30. Instead, she does not rely on a man for her happiness. Which I think is a totally valid choice.

She seems to be still friends with the guys, she has great friends, she has a job she seems to enjoy. Why would that be an unhappy ending?
