'Casino' Choi Min-sik "I feel like I'm in a deep love relationship with the new character"

Choi Min-sik said he was satisfied with the ending of 'Casino'.

On the 24th, I met actor Choi Min-sik, who appeared in Disney+'s 'Casino', at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul. Choi Min-sik played the role of Cha Moo-sik, who lived a life full of ups and downs, starting from the bottom and rising to the position of 'casino legend' that no one can easily touch.

Choi Min-sik showed such lively acting that people say, 'Choi Min-sik is Cha Moo-sik and Cha Moo-sik is Choi Min-sik.' Choi Min-sik said, "Every time I meet a character, I feel like I'm in a relationship. As expected, I feel like I've been in a serious relationship from last winter to early fall." He continued, “I don't know if there are any fingers that don't hurt after biting off ten fingers, but regardless of the work's likes, dislikes, ups and downs, I have affection for it. “If I didn’t have affection, I wouldn’t have done this work,” adding, “Even if I raise my children well, I always have regrets and regrets, so I want to express them more.” “I always have that feeling of regret, wondering what it would have been like if I had done it.”

Cha Mu-sik is ultimately killed in vain by Yang Jeong-pal, who is like his right-hand man. Regarding the ending, Choi Min-sik said, "I have no regrets. At the beginning of the drama, '11 Red Flowers' does not appear as a line. I really liked that. When Director Kang wrote that line, at first I thought, 'What kind of unexpected 11 Red Flowers is this?' “It showed that no matter how intoxicated you are with power, the end can be like that,” he said. He continued, “When you prepare for the last dinner, you pick out flowers. I asked the art team, 'Are there any flowers around that are a little wild?' It's not like a lover is coming. I wanted the flower petals to be wilted when caught on camera. I wanted the ending to be withered." I wanted it to be like flower petals falling. Suddenly, I was being attacked by the junior I loved the most. I thought it was the right ending for a guy who was going crazy with desire. That is in line with the theme of this work and the Hwamu Shibi Ilhong that was mentioned from the beginning. “I don’t think so,” he said.

'Casino' is the story of Cha Moo-sik (played by Choi Min-sik), a casino legend, who faces a crisis and begins to make the last bet of his life against the persistent pursuit of Korean Desk Oh Seung-hoon ( played by Son Seok-gu). The last episode of Season 2 was released on the 22nd.
