The main cast of ‘So Intimate Traitor’ shared their thoughts ahead of the final episode.

The final episode of MBC‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘So Intimate Traitor’ (planned by Nam Goong Sung-woo / directed by Song Yeon-hwa / written by Han Ah-young / produced by Ascendio, Woodside / hereinafter referred to as ‘Traitor’) will air tonight, November 15th at 9:40 PM. The flawless acting of the actors who filled ‘Traitor’ has raised the level of perfection of the drama and led to favorable reviews from viewers. Han Suk-kyu, Chae Won-bin, Han Ye-ri, Noh Jae-won, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Oh Yeon-soo, who have given passionate performances so far, shared their heartfelt thoughts on the final episode.

First, Han Suk-kyu (as Jang Tae-soo) led ‘Traitor’ with delicate emotional acting to the point that people said he even acted from behind. His acting, which expressed the dilemma between faith and suspicion toward his daughter who was involved in a murder case, drew viewers into the drama. Han Suk-kyu said, “All the actors and staff worked hard to film with the intention of creating a single piece of work. If you watch the drama and have time to look back on and understand your family, I think that alone is meaningful. I want to express my gratitude to my colleagues and staff, and most of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the viewers who have given me so much support and love.”

Chae Won-bin (Jang Ha-bin), who formed a tense father-daughter relationship with Han Suk-kyu with acting skills that are not expected of a rookie, is a treasure-like actor that ‘Lee Chin-ja’ discovered. Chae Won-bin said, “I can’t believe there’s only one episode left, and I feel regretful. It was a work that allowed me to grow a lot, and I was able to learn a lot. The final episode that will solve all the questions you were curious about is waiting for you. Thank you for staying with us until the end and caring for Ha-bin.”

Han Ye-ri (as Lee Eo-jin) caught the eye by acting out her cool-headed and rational rookie profiler character who sped up the investigation while convincingly portraying her feelings of respect for Tae-soo turning into disappointment. Han Ye-ri said, “I would like to thank the many viewers who loved ‘Lee Chin-ja.’ We all did our best to show you a better drama. Please watch the show until the end.”



No Jae-won (as Goo Dae-hong) presented an emotional profiler character who breathed warmth into the tense drama, and left a distinct presence with his unique acting. No Jae-won said, “The final episode contains important stories for all the characters. I feel like we’ve been running this far to tell the ending. He expressed his affection by saying, “Thank you so much to the viewers who have loved ‘Lee Chin-ja’.”

Yoon Kyung-ho (as Oh Jung-hwan) played the role of the violent crimes team leader with solid acting. Although he had conflicts with Tae-soo, he drew attention by drawing chemistry with his colleagues who acknowledge his abilities. Yoon Kyung-ho said, “I think this wonderful thriller was created because of the sweat and time the staff and actors put in together. I was happy to be able to fill a part of it as Oh Jung-hwan. There were difficult moments, but the regret of the ending is greater than ever. I want to tell myself that I did a good job because I didn’t mention the ending until the end despite the requests of my wife and those around me.” He added to the curiosity about the final episode with his sensible comment.

If Oh Yeon-soo (as Yoon Ji-soo), who left a strong presence as the secret key of Tae-soo and Ha-bin’s family, hadn’t been there, the dramatic father-daughter story of ‘Lee Chin-ja’ would not have been completed. Oh Yeon-soo said, “It was an honor to be able to work on such a great project. I did my best to immerse myself in the role of Ji-soo throughout filming, so I don’t know if you enjoyed it. I was happy to work with the director, staff, and fellow actors. I hope you‘ll immerse yourself and watch until the final episode,” expressing her gratitude to the viewers.

The final episode of MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘So Intimate Traitor’, where all the truths that were hidden behind suspicion will be revealed, has been extended by 90 minutes and will air 10 minutes earlier than usual on November 15 (Friday) at 9:40 PM.
