Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi revealed key viewing points for the film "Final Piece."

On the afternoon of the 29th, a press conference for the Japanese film "Final Piece" was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Lead actor Kentaro Sakaguchi attended and spoke with domestic reporters.

"Final Piece" is a film adaptation of the Japanese bestseller "Himawari no Hanbun." It is a suspense drama that uncovers secrets between genius shogi player Keesuke (played by Kentaro Sakaguchi), who becomes a suspect after a body of unknown identity is discovered alongside expensive shogi pieces, and gambler Tomio (played by Ken Watanabe), who has disappeared.

On this day, Kentaro Sakaguchi said, "The way the story unfolds reveals Keesuke's identity from the beginning. Above all, what was attractive was that it dealt with human relationships beyond just suspense or a chase thriller. I found that part interesting while reading the script and performing."

He continued, "I am confident that you will find it even more enjoyable if you focus on the dense emotional movements between people."

"Final Piece" was released in Korea on the 27th.
