00:00We are going to be releasing quite soon. I am very nervous. I know that a lot of you out there are curious about what's going to happen in season 3, but all of us are more curious about how much you're going to enjoy it.
00:30So I can't wait. I am very nervous.
00:32What did you think when you read these final scripts and saw how the show all ended?
00:36When you first watched the season 3, did you know how it will end?
00:43I watched the season 2 or 3 once again. I thought that the director really didn't think about 2 or 3. I thought it was perfectly close to me.
01:03It was very interesting to me. I couldn't wait to read the script again.
01:11I read the scripts for seasons 2 and 3 at once, and I couldn't believe that director didn't mean for it to be two separate seasons because it was just perfectly written.
01:20I read it. It was such an intriguing and gripping read, and I was once again in awe of director Hwang's abilities.
01:26What did you think of them, these final scripts?
01:29What did you think of them, these final scripts?
01:30What did you think of them?
01:31I also think of them, the most surprising point of view, how to express them and how to express them with the characters.
01:39How do you express the connection between the actors and the actors and the actors?
01:51I was hoping that there would be a great work that would come out.
01:59In fact, the actors have been doing well in Korea and the great actors have been casting.
02:05I have been filming in two, three, but
02:09that's why the performance and the performance
02:14are connected to the performance.
02:19When I first read the script, the thing that really surprised me the most was how director Hwang was able to express the character dynamics in such a dramatic and emotional way.
02:29And I thought to myself, if we have the right cast and they do what they do best, this is going to be an amazing show.
02:34And that's exactly, I think, what happened.
02:36We were able to work with the most amazing group ensemble.
02:39And I think a great script, a great cast, the result is something you can expect.
02:44Are you happy with the finale? And do you think fans are going to be happy with the finale?
02:48Are you happy with the finale?
02:52I'm happy with the finale.
03:09I'm happy with how it ended.
03:10But I know that the fans out there, they each have what they want to see happen.
03:14So I really am curious about how they're going to respond to it.
03:17And I'm very nervous to find out.
03:22How did I do that, like, and try to clarify?
03:27If I'm happy with the finale, the final rant was here, try to hit the finale.
03:32But today we're going to have a pretty obvious sergeant invited to the finale.
03:37I was hoping that this
