Actress Shin Hye-sun shared her reflections on the finale of the drama "Secret Gratitude."

In the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama "Secret Gratitude" (directed by Lee Soo-hyun, written by Yeo Eun-ho, created by Yang Hee-seung, produced by Studio Dragon), which airs its final episode on the 31st, Shin Hye-sun portrayed Joo-won-a, the head of the audit department at Haemu Group, captivating viewers with her delicate emotional portrayal.

Having vividly portrayed the character of Joo-won-a and once again proven herself as an irreplaceable actress, Shin Hye-sun shared her thoughts upon completing "Secret Gratitude."

◆ Below is the full Q&A with Shin Hye-sun on the finale of "Secret Gratitude."

Q. The drama "Secret Gratitude" is approaching its finale. What are your thoughts on wrapping up the work?

A. Time really flies. It feels like filming ended just yesterday, yet it's already the finale. I still can't quite believe it. (Laughs)

Q. As an actress, what do you find most charming about "Joo-won-a"?

A. I think the biggest charm of Joo-won-a is that she doesn't hesitate when speaking the truth. Although she appears cold and resolute, she also has unexpected moments of humor and shows her human side, making her more endearing the more you watch her.

Q. There were many scenes where she displayed a cold and sharp demeanor as the audit department head. If you had to pick one line that best reflects Joo-won-a's personality, which would it be?

A. "Deputy No, what are you?" (Laughs) This line, spoken early in the series to Ki-jun, asking, "Can you use superpowers? Can you fly? Teleport? Shoot energy blasts?" is one of the most intuitive portrayals of In-a.

Q. What is the most memorable reaction you've received?

A. The reaction "But she's right" stands out. (Laughs) Even though she might appear as a cold and intimidating boss on the surface, many viewers resonated with Joo-won-a's convictions and actions, which I found fascinating.

Q. What do you think is Joo-won-a's biggest change?

A. I thought In-a was someone with a strong exterior and strong interior, but she is actually closer to having a strong exterior and a tender interior. The fact that In-a, who always seemed rational, gradually reveals her emotions and opens her heart while spending time with those around her is, in my view, her biggest change and growth.

Q. How do you hope "Secret Gratitude" will be remembered?

A. I think the cheerful atmosphere on set, created by working with wonderful people, will remain in memory for a long time. The time we spent laughing and talking while filming was truly enjoyable, so I believe this will become a work remembered with even more warmth.

Q. Finally, a message to the viewers who loved "Secret Gratitude."

A. Thank you sincerely for watching "Secret Gratitude" until the very end. Thanks to the love you sent every week, I was able to have a happy time. Summer is already approaching quickly. Please take good care of your health, and I wish you nothing but happy days ahead.
