Kim Hae-sook, Jung Ji-so, and Jin Young shared their thoughts on the finale of KBS2 drama ‘Miss Granny’.

In the final episode of ‘Miss Granny’ (directed by Park Yong-soon/written by Heo Seung-min) on the 23rd, Oh Mal-soon (played by Kim Hae-sook), a 70-year-old grandmother who suddenly turned into a 20-year-old, chose youth over life. Oh Du-ri (played by Jung Ji-so), who is Mal-soon‘s 20-something self, appeared on the debut stage of the group Element, leaving viewers deeply moved.

Kim Hae-sook, who first appeared in the dual roles of Oh Mal-soon and Janet, touched the hearts of viewers with her deep acting. Kim Hae-sook said, “I was so happy while filming ’Miss Granny‘.” The scene where she transformed into the young Oh Du-ri on a rainy day after fighting with her daughter is the most memorable. I still remember it vividly because I empathized with Mal-soon that day. I would like to thank the viewers who have shown me so much love and interest, and I wish you a happy new year,” she said with affection.

Ji So Jung, who realistically portrayed the emotions of a 70-year-old grandmother and perfectly took on the role of Oh Du-ri, said, “I feel bittersweet that it has to end as I prepared hard for the drama and worked hard on filming. I resolved to become an actress who can bring more laughter and emotion to the viewers through this opportunity,” she said, sharing her meaningful thoughts on the finale.

Ji So Jung continued, “I feel so grateful that I learned a lot through ‘Miss Granny.’ Also, I think it will be even more memorable because it was a drama that allowed me to broaden my acting spectrum as an actress while trying new things. Thank you so much for loving ’Miss Granny‘ so far. Whenever you think of it or whenever life is boring, please watch it again anytime,“ he said as his final greeting.

Lastly, Jinyoung, who became a hot topic by appearing in the original movie and the drama ’Miss Granny‘, said, ”I was really happy to be able to finish 2024 and start 2025 with ’Miss Granny‘. The most memorable scene was the scene in episode 3 where he looks at Doori singing while playing the guitar. Even though the two of them didn’t say anything in particular, you could feel them sharing emotions, and I personally think it came out so well that I was very satisfied with it, so it‘s one of my favorite scenes.“

Jinyoung also said, ”I think it will be remembered as a work that was like fate. Just creating a story that the original couldn’t include was another new experience and challenge for me. I would like to express my gratitude to those who watched it and hope that our drama will be remembered as a work that was able to convey even a little bit of positive energy,” he said, expressing his regret.

In this way, ’Miss Granny‘ presented joy and sorrow with a solid story and unpredictable development better than the original. The actors‘ outstanding acting skills and diverse charms were added to create a healing drama of all time.
