Disney+ 'Fine' Ends with a Catastrophic Conclusion Tainted by Greed... 25 Days of Continuous No. 1 Record

Disney+ Original Drama 'Fine' concluded with a catastrophic ending tainted by the greed of its characters, leaving viewers with a strong aftertaste.

The Disney+ drama 'Fine' aired its final episodes, 10 and 11, on the 13th, bringing the story to a grand close. It captivated viewers with its tension-filled narrative until the very last episode.

The Chain Reaction of Catastrophe Created by Greed

In the final episode, the relationships among the country bumpkins and the complete collapse of the treasure hunt scenario were depicted in a catastrophic situation. The transformed appearances of each character in front of the treasure starkly illustrated how terrifying human greed can lead to dire consequences.

Police Hong Gi (Lee Dong-hwi) should have prioritized public authority but transformed into a corrupt officer shouting, "Stay still! That bowl first!" The scene where a police officer, who should uphold justice, reveals his true nature in front of the treasure symbolically showcased the corruption of power.

Extreme Transformations of Lim Soo-jung and Kim Ui-sung

Yang Jeong-sook (Lim Soo-jung) diving into the treasure hunt while grabbing money and jewels in a chaotic situation was also impressive. Her usual calm demeanor was lost as she went on a rampage in front of the treasure, reaffirming Lim Soo-jung's outstanding acting skills.

Professor Kim (Kim Ui-sung) was also blinded by the treasure, mercilessly attacking Song Sa-jang (Kim Jong-soo), who was once an ally, saying, "Hey~ You can't just touch someone else's stuff like that~" His drastic transformation from a scholarly figure to a greedy individual vividly demonstrated how greed can change a person.

Ryu Seung-ryong's Overwhelming Villain Performance

As the characters' surging greed reached its peak, Oh Kwan-seok (Ryu Seung-ryong) faced a new phase, endlessly scheming to survive. Particularly, the scene where Oh Kwan-seok corners Yang Jeong-sook at the edge of a cliff, fiercely saying, "Erase that bowl from your mind! That bowl is ours! Got it?" was a highlight.

In this scene, Ryu Seung-ryong perfectly portrayed the complete villain consumed by desire, delivering an intense sense of tension. His performance made viewers hold their breath and focus on the screen.

Hopeful Ending of Yang Se-jong and Kim Min

The only characters who showed a glimmer of hope amidst the greed were Oh Hee-dong (Yang Se-jong) and Sun-ja (Kim Min). The sight of the two walking side by side symbolized hope as they moved away from the whirlpool of greed towards a new beginning.

Their presence sparked curiosity among viewers about the story they would write moving forward. Even amidst a catastrophic ending, their existence conveying a message of hope elevated the drama's completeness.

Disney+ Achieves the Remarkable Feat of 25 Days of Continuous No. 1

'Fine: The Country Bumpkins' achieved astonishing success in terms of viewership. As of August 12, it recorded 25 consecutive days at No. 1 in the overall ranking of Disney+ Korean content on FlixPatrol, a global OTT platform content view ranking site.
