Kim Jae-joong and Cast Express Gratitude as “Eraser of Bad Memories” Nears Its End
The cast of “Eraser of Bad Memories,” including Kim Jae-joong, Jin Se-yeon, Lee Jong-won, and Yang Hye-ji, have expressed their gratitude to viewers as the show draws to a close.
MBN’s Friday-Saturday miniseries “Bad Memory Eraser” (directed by Yoon Ji-hoon and Kim Na-young, written by Jeong Eun-young) depicts the dangerous love-manipulating romance between a man whose life was changed by a memory eraser and a woman who became his first love. The novel theme of surgery to erase bad memories and the modest comic acting of the lead actors, including Kim Jae-joong and Jin Se-yeon, went viral and continued to receive warm response at home and abroad.
Kim Jae-joong (played by Lee Goon), Jin Se-yeon (played by Gyeong Ju-yeon), Lee Jong-won (played by Lee Shin) and Yang Hye-ji (played by Jeon Sae-yan) of ‘Bad Memories Eraser,’ who only have two episodes left, expressed their fond feelings about the ending.
Kim Jae-joong’s Thoughts on the Show
Kim Jaejoong played the role of Lee, who was reborn from “minimal self-esteem” to “maximum self-esteem, maximum confidence, and maximum presence” through a memory eraser, and captivated viewers with his overflowing charm. Jaejoong Kim said, “The very airing of ‘Eraser of Bad Memories’ felt like a dream. All the actors, directors, and staff, including myself, immersed themselves and put a lot of effort into every scene. “It was a labor of love,” he said, recalling the excitement he felt when it first aired.
Kim Jaejoong also said, “I remember the moment when I was so happy after the production presentation and the show started airing, but I can’t believe it’s already over. As a viewer, while watching the drama, I felt like, ‘I hope Goon is always happy no matter what the situation is.’ “There are a lot of light-hearted and funny scenes, but it touched my heart the most because it felt like a work that made you think deeply,” he said, expressing his affection for “Eraser of Bad Memories.”
Kim Jaejoong said, “I am grateful to our ‘Babies (Kim Jaejoong fan club)’ who are passionate fans of ‘Bad Memories Eraser’ and the viewers who have watched. “I hope you will tune in and watch until the last episode,” he said, “I, Kim Jae-joong, will also show various activities as a singer and, if I have the opportunity, as an actor. “Please continue to show a lot of interest and love for ‘Bad Memories Eraser’ and Kim Jaejoong.”
Jin Se-yeon’s Thoughts on the Show
Jin Se-yeon played the role of Gyeong-ju-yeon, who was cast as Lee’s first love after being responsible for the memory erasure surgery and immediately fell in love with Lee, making people laugh with her selfless and comedic acting. Jin Se-yeon said, “It’s a shame that ‘Eraser of Bad Memories’ is already approaching its final episode, and I’m so in love with all the characters, including Joo-yeon, that I’m letting it go. “I would like to thank the viewers who stuck with me until the end, and I hope you will support the future of the drama’s characters,” she said in her final farewell.
Lee Jong-won’s Thoughts on the Show
Jong-won Lee played the role of Lee Shin, the world’s No. 1 tennis star, and provided an intense immersion with his exceptional acting skills. Jong-won Lee said, “I am grateful to the viewers who watched ‘Eraser of Bad Memories.’ I was proud to be able to show you another side of myself through the character of Lee Shin. “I also felt like I was meeting ‘Bad Memory Eraser’ again and being with him, so it was very emotional and fun,” he said of the finale.
Yang Hye-ji’s Thoughts on the Show
Yang Hye-ji played the role of Jeon Sae-yan, Lee Shin’s interpreter, who charmed those around her with her positive charm and lively energy, and gave a lovely and lively performance. Yang Hye-ji said, “I had an emotional time during the broadcast of ‘Eraser of Bad Memories’ as I was tackling work again after a long time. It was a work created with the power of love from all the staff and actors, so you can watch it for the umpteenth time via OTT after the main broadcast. “I will come back in better shape,” she said with a smile.
In episode 14, Lee and Joo-yeon realized their feelings for each other and enjoyed their first and last date, followed by Lee becoming angry after realizing there was a surgery to erase bad memories. It was revealed that Lee Shin’s blackmailer and Saeyan’s biological father were the same person, creating tension. Interest is growing as to what kind of ending “Eraser of Bad Memories” will have.
“Eraser of Bad Memories” will air its fifteenth episode at 9:40 p.m. on the 20th.
