What the Cast Said: Fifties Professionals Favourite Scenes & Final Thoughts
Shin Ha Kyun
Shin Ha Kyun reflected warmly on the set experience, expressing hope that the fun atmosphere among the cast and crew came through clearly to viewers, and sincerely thanked fans for staying until the very end.
For his standout scene, he chose the rain-soaked action sequence on the deck of a ship featuring himself, Oh Jung Se, and Heo Sung Tae — the very scene that kicked off the entire story. He acknowledged it wasn’t easy to film in the rain, but said its role as the dramatic starting point made it especially unforgettable.
Oh Jung Se
Oh Jung Se gave heartfelt credit to the production staff, noting that with so many demanding action scenes throughout the drama, the team consistently filled in the gaps whenever his body didn’t cooperate the way he needed it to.
His most memorable scene was Bong Je Soon’s martial arts sequence at the Heaven Casino in Episode 1 — a moment he said still fills him with fresh gratitude every time he watches the finished result.
Heo Sung Tae
Heo Sung Tae described the experience as both a delight and an honour, drawing a touching parallel between his character Kang Beom Ryong — a man who had never properly known love or family before forming new bonds on the show — and his own personal growth throughout the filming process. soompi
Kim Shin Rok

He noted that in playing this role, he too experienced that same joy, and thanked viewers for laughing and crying alongside the cast each week.
