Shin Ye-eun reflected, "I prepared for this project with all my heart for a long time and experienced a range of emotions," crediting the viewers for giving her confidence and courage.
She hinted at the upcoming two episodes, stating, "The national theater stage will become even more impressive and spectacular," and asked viewers to focus on the choices of those who love the national theater amidst various incidents.
Ra Mi-ran, who added depth as the director of Maeran, assured, "The final episode will not disappoint. The last performance will also be legendary," hinting at the conclusion.
Jung Eun-chae, who delivered a remarkable performance as Moon Ok-kyung and had an unexpected exit in the 10th episode, said, "Thank you sincerely for crying and laughing along with Jeong Nyeoni. I'll continue acting without forgetting the great love you have sent."
Kim Yun-hye, who played Seo Hye-rang, urged viewers, "Please look forward to how Maeran's crisis and the downfall of Hye-rang will conclude as the main characters depart."
