Season 2 of Disney+'s original series 'Casino' has revealed key story points ahead of its release on the 15th.
◆ Two gunshots… Choi Min-sik vs. Heo Seong-tae in a life-threatening battle
The first story point is related to the two gunshots that marked the finale of Season 1. Seo Tae-seok (played by Heo Seong-tae), who exploded with envy and jealousy toward Cha Moo-sik (played by Choi Min-sik), is expected to become more vicious in season 2 and strangle Cha Moo-sik. Cha Mu-sik will also show a different side from before. Until now, she has been consistent in being merciful to all of Seo Tae-seok's actions, but she plans to respond fiercely to Seo Tae-seok, who is gradually crossing the line and threatening her own life. The intense confrontation between the two people, who point guns at each other to survive, is a point worth noting.
◆ Son Seok-gu suspects Choi Min-sik while pursuing a mysterious drug report case
Kim Joo-ryeong's performance and his story, which left an impactful impression throughout 'Casino' Season 1, are also considered points to look forward to. At the press conference for 'Casino', actor Kim Joo-ryeong said, "Jin Young-hee gets caught up in an uncontrollable incident due to a spark thrown without her knowledge," and the behind-the-scenes details related to this will be revealed in Season 2. The incident begins when Jinyoung-hee (played by Kim Joo-ryeong) is captured by CIDG where Oh Seung-hoon (played by Son Seok-gu) belongs. Drugs of unknown origin are discovered in his house, and Oh Seung-hoon becomes suspicious. Eventually, the mysterious drug reporting incident will become a fuse that will completely destroy Jinyoung-hee. Not only is Jin Young-hee destroyed, but he is also deeply involved in the process of Cha Mu-sik becoming a murder suspect, which will serve as the starting point of a story that further heightens Oh Seung-hoon's suspicions about Cha Mu-sik.
◆ Choi Min-sik is a strong suspect in the murder case.
The third story point is the threat to Cha Moo-sik, who is a strong suspect in the murder of Chairman Min (Kim Hong-pa). Cha Moo-sik, who was closely related to the murders of So-jung (Son Eun-seo) and Philip (Lee Hae-woo), the main culprits of the sugarcane field murder case that occurred in Season 1 and the 10 billion theft of Chairman Ko (Lee Hye-young), can escape. The tension is expected to increase as they are caught in a trap that does not exist. Cha Moo-sik, who was suddenly reduced from a casino legend to a murder suspect, is exiled to Korea, and it is expected that Cha Moo-sik's life in Korea, which was not seen in Season 1, will unfold. The turning point is that Cha Moo-sik is not afraid at all even in a situation where he loses everything. Even after being transported to Korea, the process of finding a breakthrough to regain one's place unfolds quickly and promises to be a unique and fun experience.
◆ Lee Dong-hwi started to shake… The collapsing Chamu-sik family
The final story point will be the conflict between the Cha Moo-sik family caused by Yang Jeong-pal's (Lee Dong-hwi) change of heart. In the released Season 2 trailer, the line, "They say a rabbit reigns supreme in a cave without a tiger..." raises curiosity about the conflict that will arise over the vacant position of Cha Mu-sik, who was transported to Korea. While the character of Yang Jeong-pal, played by Lee Dong-hwi, heralds the biggest change, Chairman Go's 10 billion won, which disappeared in Season 1, appears to be the starting point for breaking his firm faith.
Season 2 of Disney+'s original series 'Casino' is the story of Cha Mu-sik, a casino legend, who faces a crisis and begins to make the last bet of his life against the persistent pursuit of Oh Seung-hoon of The Korean Desk. Season 2 will release episodes 1 to 3 on February 15th, and then episode 1 will be released every Wednesday at 5 PM.
