Their Character’s Pursuit of Happiness
In the final episode of the drama, Ja Geum-soon passes away, and her family pursues their own happiness. Imagining how Chairwoman Ja’s family seeks their own happiness, the drama’s stars describe how their characters will do so.
Actor Kang Ha Neul envisions Jae-heon continuing acting while wondering about Se-gyu’s determination on acting.
“I think Jae-heon will be auditioning for his work and eating dinner from Se-yeon. I wonder if Se-gyu (played by Choi Dae Hoon) would have given up on acting…”
On the other hand, actress Ha Ji Won imagines Se-yeon maintaining her peace of mind while running the hotel and spending time with her beloved family.
“I think Se-yeon will work hard at hotel management with great attachment. I also felt the importance of her family, so I think she will spend a lot of time with them. She does what she can be the happiest with and it puts her mind at ease a little because she seems to be doing just fine.”
For actress Jung Ji So whose character had a bittersweet closure with Jae-heon, the actress foresees Yoon-hee residing in a foreign country.
“Yoon-hee is living her life hard abroad, and I think she might be looking for another Jae-heon and lecturing him.”
Looking forward to his character having a warm life in the future, actor Noh Sang Hyun describes what kind of life Moon-seong will have in South Korea after being naturalized as necessary in his grandmother’s will.
“I think Moon-seong will come back to South Korea, eat tteokbokki with his new family…and have a snowball fight. He seems to be smiling broadly in abundance and waiting for the spring day to come.”
Affection for their Characters
Finding his similarities with Jae-heon, Kang Ha Neul sees himself remembering his character the next time he performs on a theater stage.
“Jae-heon is like me, from the way he likes and admires the theater stage to the way he always thinks positively. I think I will think of Jae-heon again the next time I have a role in a play.”
Meanwhile, actress Ha Ji Won admits she had a lot of affection for her character, making it difficult for her to part ways with it.
“…Thanks to Se-yeon, it was fun to wear many pretty clothes and run a hotel. I think I’m wondering if she’s doing well now because she’s suffered so much. I hope she will be remembered for a long time.”
Through her character, actress Jung Ji So appreciates what mindset she gained with the encouragement of her role Seo Yoon-hee brought.
“Seo Yoon-hee seems to have permeated a lot of my youth. Yoon-hee was more precious and prouder because she was faithful to reality…I was always able to have a new mindset thanks to encouragement.”
Acknowledging what his character has been through, Noh Sang Hyun leaves Moon-seong with an encouraging message.
“Moon-seong, you’ve been through a lot. I’m sure your future will be bright. I support your happiness.”
Parting Thoughts
Expressing how he portrayed his character, actor Kang Ha Neul wishes the drama to be warmly remembered by its viewers.
“I filmed while thinking about how I could look more like Yoo Jae-heon or Ri Moon-seong. I hope it will remain as a work that closes the curtains while clapping for all of you and me.”
Feeling sad with the drama’s conclusion, actress Ha Ji Won confesses to being overwhelmed with various emotions such as regret and gratitude. Appreciating the love she received, the actress wishes the drama to be memorable for its viewers.
“Thank you for giving me a big round of applause until the end. I hope it was a heart-warming drama that will be remembered for a long time.”
Thanking the people on set, actress Jung Ji So gratefully shares how much she has learned throughout the filming process.
“I always learned from the director, seniors, actors, and staff. I felt that I had grown up because there were many moments of enlightenment…”
Also appreciating his seniors, colleagues, and the filming team, actor Noh Sang Hyun embraces the supporters of the drama and his cold character Moon-seong.
“…It started when it was hot and now it’s snowing, but it was nice to be able to share a warm heart with good people for a long time. I think I will miss it.”
