From Kim Hee-sun to Lee Hye-young...'We, Home' long-awaited conclusion

'We, the House' reaches its long-awaited conclusion, and the actors reveal what's on their minds.

After the show

With only the final episode left on the 29th (today), the actors of MBC's Friday drama 'We, Home' (written by Nam Ji Yeon and directed by Lee Dong Hyun), Kim Hee Sun, Kim Hye Young, Kim Nam Hee, Yeon Woo, Hwang Chan Sung, and Jae Chan, expressed their regrets, gratitude, and affection for the end.

"We, Home" raised the significance of the birth of a new genre film through the synergy of 'chewy character play' that led to a dense narrative as the characters intertwined organically, high-quality mise-en-scene that satisfied the senses with artistic sensitivity, and the masterful performances of actors including Kim Hee-sun, Lee Hye-young, Kim Nam-hee, Yeon-woo, Hwang Chan-sung, Ahn Gil-gang, Jae-chan, Jeong Gun-joo, Shin So-yul, Jeong-heon, Yang Jae-hyun, and Kim Sun-kyung.

In the 11th episode, Noh Young-won (Kim Hee-sun) revealed the true identity of Lee Sena (Yeon-woo) at a press conference, accelerating the deadly confrontation, and the tension was amplified by a "sudden warning ending" in which Noh Young-won confronted Lee Sena for kidnapping his son Choi Do-hyun (Jae-chan). As a result, the last 11 episodes garnered 5.6% nationwide viewership and 5.6% in the metropolitan area based on Nielsen Korea, a significant increase from the previous episodes, proving the show's last-minute superpower.

In this regard, on the 29th (today), Kim Hee-sun, Kim Hye-young, Kim Nam-hee, Yeon-woo, Hwang Chan-sung, and Jae-chan gave a touching farewell to the show with their passion and last drops of sweat.

Hee Sun Kim, who plays Noh Young Won, a family psychologist who throws everything away to protect her threatened family from a "mad villain," said, "'We, Home' was very meaningful to me. I felt a lot of emotions while filming, and I was able to grow as I interacted with the characters." "Noh Young-won was a learning experience for me. He's not just a character who resolves family conflicts, but he's a character who reflects on his feelings and life and grows because of it," he says, expressing his affection for the character. "I'm so grateful that viewers have empathized, laughed, and cried along with me on his journey. I hope the character of Noh Young-won will remain in your hearts for a long time," he concluded.

"When I started 'We, Home,' I was scared and anxious, but as I filmed, I gained confidence and a sense of accomplishment, so I was very happy and enjoyed filming," said Lee Hye-young, who received rave reviews for her charismatic performance as Hong Sa-gang, full of devoted motherhood and wit. "I think everyone involved in this production was very intelligent, and the team was full of respect and trust. I don't think I've ever worked on a production that was so intelligent," he says, thanking his fellow actors and crew for their support.

Kim Nam-hee, who played the role of Choi Jae-jin, a man who has never lived by his own will, said, "Everything was happy and fun. Even now, I'm sad to say goodbye to the actors and staff I worked with. The drama did so well that I wish they would make another sequel," he said, sharing his witty and laugh-inducing thoughts. He also said, "Thank you for hating and loving the role of Jae Jin so much. I hope you enjoyed 'We, Home' for a while on a hot summer day, and I hope you will always be healthy and happy," he expressed his warm wishes.

Yeon Woo, who showed a dramatic acting transformation as the "madness villain" Isena, said, "It was an honor to work on such a wonderful production with my esteemed seniors. It was a scene where I could learn a lot, and I want to work hard and become an actor with deep acting like my seniors," he said, adding a deep note of sincerity as he shared his valuable experience through 'We, Home'.

Hwang Chan-sung, who played Noh Young-min, who brought laughter every time he appeared with his natural and clever acting, said, "I learned and felt a lot by being with such great seniors. I gained a lot through the serious but funny drama 'We, Home'. Thank you to everyone who loved it, and I will come back to you with more good works and good looks," he said, expressing his love for the work and his future ambitions.

Jae-chan, who showed his calm charm and impressive acting skills as the model son Choi Do-hyun, said, "It was an honor in itself to be on the same screen with so many wonderful seniors from the beginning of filming, and it was an unforgettable memory and growth experience." "In the drama, even though Do Hyun lied and was a bit slow, I am thankful that the viewers liked and loved him a lot. I will do my best to show you a better version of myself in the future," he added with sincere emotion.

The production team said, "We would like to thank the actors once again for completing the new and unconventional 'We, Home' with their unparalleled acting skills," and asked the viewers to watch the final episode to see if Kim Hee Sun, Kim Hye Young, Kim Nam Hee, Yeon Woo, Hwang Chan Sung, and Jae Chan will return to the 'We, Home' they have been longing for." The final episode airs at 9:50 p.m.
