This drama was among the most anticipated shows of last year, and it lived up to its hype. Featuring a stellar cast led by reputable actors and actresses, and led by a seasoned writer, it consistently ranked high in the Buzzworthy charts and generated buzz across various social media platforms. Notably, actors like Lee Joon, Lee Yu Bi, and Kim Do Hoon were recognized for their performances in this series at the “2023 SBS Drama Awards.”
More Crazy Thrilling Episodes
“The Escape of The Seven: Resurrection” will continue from the cliffhanger ending of season 1, promising even more chaos, intrigue, and thrills in the upcoming episodes. What sets this drama apart is its unpredictability. Just when you think you’ve figured out the plot, it throws you a curveball. The series has a knack for surprising its audience with unexpected twists and turns, keeping us on the edge of our seats throughout.
One of the most jaw-dropping twists in the series was the revelation about Matthew Lee (Um Ki Joon). Initially portrayed as Han Mo Ne’s father seeking revenge for his daughter, it turns out he’s not Lee Hwi So, but an entirely different character with his own agenda. This revelation left us stunned, a testament that only writer Kim Soon Ok can make that kind of plot twists.
Min Do Hyuk’s Revenge
Among the main characters, only Do Hyuk exhibits any semblance of redemption. Having endured unimaginable suffering, including the loss of his family and betrayal by those close to him, Dohyuk emerges as a pivotal figure. With the revelation of him being a chaebol son and his determination for retribution against those who wronged him, we anticipate a transformation in Min Do Hyuk. Will he become the central focus of season 2?
Powerhouse Casts + Lee Jung Shin Joining The Show
Just like in the first season, all the cast members will reprise their roles in season 2, including Um Ki Joon, Hwang Jung Eum, Lee Joon, Lee Yu Bi, Shin Eun Kyung, Yoon Jong Hoon, Jo Yoon Hee, and Jo Jae Yoon. With such a powerhouse lineup, viewers can expect top-notch performances from these seasoned actors and actresses.
In addition to the returning cast, season 2 introduces a new character portrayed by CNBlue’s Lee Jung Shin. He will play Hwang Chan Sung, the CEO of SAVE, Korea’s leading portal site. Formerly the heir to Hwangje Ilbo, one of the country’s top three newspaper companies, Hwang Chan Sung shifted gears to the portal site business, achieving remarkable success. His entrance into the series is sure to shake things up in this makjang drama.
What Happens To The Characters?
As season 2 unfolds, many mysteries surrounding Han Mo Ne and Chairman Bang’s death remain unresolved. Will we witness new alliances and schemes among the seven enigmatic characters? From Yang Jin Mo and Go Myung Ji posing as a fake couple to Nam Cheol Woo elevating Matthew Lee to divine status, the plot thickens with each twist and turn.
