“The Husband” Stars Namkoong Min, Kim Dae Myeung, Lee Seol, And Lee Sang Hee Pick Their Favorite Scenes Ahead Of Finale
KBS2’s “The Husband” is winding down to a close!
“The Husband” is a thriller drama about a man on the brink of divorce who unexpectedly becomes embroiled in a desperate fight with a dangerous criminal in order to rescue his wife.
Spoilers
Ahead of the August 9 finale, “The Husband” leads Namkoong Min, Kim Dae Myeung, Lee Seol, and Lee Sang Hee picked their most unforgettable scenes from the drama.
Namkoong Min picked the scene in which his character Kang Tae Joo finds Noh Man Hee’s (Kim Dae Myeung) house and faces the culprits in episode 6 as his most memorable scene. The actor remarked, “I think it’s a scene that well-captures an ordinary doctor who has never properly handled a gun in his life as he becomes gradually bolder in order to save the person he loves and the process of how his fear and nervousness transform into steadfast resolve. It’s the scene in which Kang Tae Joo’s emotional change is most dramatically shown.”
Namkoong Min further mentioned the scene in which he does a video call with Noh Man Hee at his in-laws’ house as well as the scene where he points a gun at Lee Soo Hyung (Park Byung Eun). He shared, “While acting as Kang Tae Joo, the part I worried most over was how would an ordinary person act in this situation. Unlike the characters I’ve portrayed until now, Kang Tae Joo is an ordinary doctor with no special ability or bold courage, so I wanted to show a person who is a little clumsy but still shows bravery in the end despite being afraid.”
Kim Dae Myeung chose the scene from episode 2 where he is on a video call with Kang Tae Joo while looking around Kang Tae Joo’s in-laws’ house, threatening Kang Tae Joo and Go Se Yoon’s (Lee Seol) parents while taking Go Se Yoon as hostage. He shared, “I recall borrowing a practice room alone and preparing by checking the movements one by one,” mentioning the time and effort he spent in perfecting the scene.
Kim Dae Myeung further brought up the scene of chasing after Go Se Yoon across a frozen reservoir, saying, “Thanks to the filming crew, who ran around with me even in the cold weather, and the lighting team, who installed huge lights high in the sky to illuminate the vast reservoir, we were able to complete [the scene], which makes it even more memorable. I’m still very grateful.”
Lee Seol shared, “I want to pick the scene that will be revealed today (August 9) of Go Se Yoon and Kang Tae Joo meeting at the forest,” raising anticiaption for the finale. She added, “It’s a scene I’m particularly fond of because it captures the more comfortable, mature dynamic between the two, along with the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the forest.”
Lee Sang Hee chose the scene from episode 6 in which her character Kim Kyung Ae told Go Se Yoon to be quiet. She mentioned, “People around me who I like have quoted that line and mentioned it to me. It was a really nice feeling to hear them bring it up. When I read the script, I thought it was a scene that would be both a challenge and a key to portraying Kim Kyung Ae well. I really wanted to pull it off, and seeing how happy I was to hear people mention it made me think I did a good job with it.”
The production team shared, “With their talented acting skills, Namkoong Min, Kim Dae Myeung, Lee Seol, and Lee Sang Hee perfectly completed ‘The Husband’ into a well-made crime thriller,” asking viewers to anticipate the finale where all the secrets and truth will be revealed.
“The Husband” will air its final episode on August 9 at 9:20 p.m. KST.

Previously, Kang Tae Joo revealed to Go Se Yoon (Lee Seol) the truth behind the controversial “Spinal Cord Project,” including the fact that it was her father Go Dong Chan (Jang Gwang) who made the decision to move forward with it.

Although the couple has reconciled, the weight of everything they’ve endured still lingers. As they exchange faint smiles and look into each other’s eyes for the first time in a while, viewers are left wondering what will result from this quiet moment together.

Previously, Kang Tae Joo tried to uncover a connection between his father-in-law Go Dong Chan (Jang Gwang), who was involved in an illegal fetal stem cell project, and the kidnapping of his wife Go Se Yoon (Lee Seol).

The newly released stills tease fresh clues surrounding the truth behind the case.
One set of stills shows Kang Tae Joo arriving at We Together Hospital alongside Team Leader Jang Do Sik (Lee Seok) and the police. After previously discovering Ha Jung Soo’s body in the hospital’s underground parking garage, it remains to be seen whether Kang Tae Joo will uncover the connection between Kim Kyung Ae, Go Dong Chan, and Ha Jung Soo—and move one step closer to the truth.

As she hurriedly rifles through documents, Go Dong Chan suddenly turns around with a cold stare. Another image shows Go Se Yoon leaving the study, her eyes filled with suspicion. Is Go Dong Chan the mastermind behind Go Se Yoon’s kidnapping?
Meanwhile, Kim Kyung Ae’s awakening introduces another unexpected twist. Before undergoing surgery, Kim Kyung Ae told Kang Tae Joo that she knew about Go Dong Chan’s illegal fetal stem cell project, after which Ha Jung Soo attempted to kill her by injecting her with potassium chloride. In the newly released stills, Kim Kyung Ae has regained consciousness and appears visibly startled by someone standing before her, raising anticipation over whether she will finally reveal the secret she has been hiding.

“The Husband” is a thriller drama about a man on the brink of divorce who unexpectedly becomes embroiled in a desperate fight with a dangerous criminal in order to rescue his wife.
Spoilers
On the previous episode of “The Husband,” Kang Tae Joo (Namkoong Min) accused his father-in-law of being the mastermind behind his wife Go Se Yoon (Lee Seol)’s kidnapping. Although the kidnapping incident appeared to have been wrapped up, the relationship between the couple grew more precarious than ever.
Newly released stills from the drama’s next episode capture a moment when the spouses lock eyes through a mirror. While parked in the alley outside his in-laws’ house, Kang Tae Joo spots Go Se Yoon in his side-view mirror. Although Go Se Yoon also spots her husband’s car, she finds herself frozen in place, unable to approach him.
As the couple’s gazes meet in the mirror, a stifling tension weighs on them, laying bare the distance that has formed between them. Physically, they are only meters away from one another, but emotionally, they are miles apart.
“The two spouses, who had grown apart, are now realizing one another’s true feelings through this incident,” said the drama’s production team. “The reason why they cannot come face to face will be revealed in Episode 8.”
Praising both actors’ performances, they continued, “The emotional expression achieved by the actors through just their eyes was impressive.”

4 Key Mysteries To Watch In The Second Half Of “The Husband”
“The Husband” has looked back at its tangled character relationships and hidden clues ahead of the drama’s second half!
“The Husband” is a thriller that follows Kang Tae Joo (Namkoong Min), a man who becomes entangled in a desperate battle against a dangerous criminal after his wife is kidnapped just before their divorce.
Ahead of the upcoming Episode 7, the drama released new stills highlighting the mysteries that still remain throughout the series.
Spoilers
1. What went wrong between Kang Tae Joo and Go Se Yoon (Lee Seol)?
The first set of stills focuses on the happier days of Kang Tae Joo and Go Se Yoon’s family. Bathed in warm sunlight, the couple is enjoying a picnic in the park with their daughter Ha Yoon—a stark contrast to their current situation as they face both a divorce crisis and a kidnapping. The images raise questions about what drove a wedge between the once-loving couple and how the tragedy began.
2. The motives of kidnappers Noh Man Hee (Kim Dae Myeung) and Kim Kyung Ae (Lee Sang Hee)
The reason why Noh Man Hee and his wife Kim Kyung Ae targeted Go Se Yoon also remains a mystery. In the stills, the pair coldly stare down at Go Se Yoon, creating an unsettling atmosphere. It is also revealed that Noh Man Hee had been closely monitoring Kang Tae Joo’s daily life and movements for a long time while carefully planning the crime, leaving viewers wondering what fueled the couple’s relentless hatred toward Kang Tae Joo and Go Se Yoon.
Previously, Episode 6 ended with Kang Tae Joo narrowly rescuing Go Se Yoon from Noh Man Hee and Kim Kyung Ae. However, just as the couple escaped by car, Noh Man Hee suddenly reappeared and attacked Kang Tae Joo with a shovel, ending the episode on a shocking cliffhanger.
3. The secret hidden by Go Dong Chan (Jang Gwang)
Go Se Yoon’s father, Go Dong Chan, who serves as the chairman of We Together Hospital, is also emerging as a key figure behind the drama’s mystery. Earlier in the series, he clashed with his son-in-law Kang Tae Joo over the surgery of a VIP patient, and even after his daughter’s kidnapping, he continued to speak harshly to Kang Tae Joo in a way that hardly reflected a family relationship.
His suspicious behavior became even more apparent after he learned that Kang Tae Joo had secretly entered the hospital to access patient records. Upon hearing the news, Go Dong Chan anxiously asked, “He didn’t access anything else, did he?” raising questions about what information Kang Tae Joo was searching for and what secret Go Dong Chan is so desperate to keep hidden.
4. The untold story of Cha Myung Hee (Jo Yun Seo)
Attention is also turning to Kang Tae Joo’s relationship with his junior colleague, Cha Myung Hee. After his conversation with Go Dong Chan, Kang Tae Joo visited Cha Myung Hee looking visibly discouraged, and she comforted him by placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Their interaction hints at a deeper story connecting the two.
The next episode of “The Husband” airs on July 25 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
