The Netflix series "Exploding Deceptions," which tells the adventure-filled life of the 'mischievous rebel' Ae-soon and 'simple-minded iron' Kwan-sik born in Jeju, has released a preview of Act 4 and the third batch of promotional stills. Drawing viewers into the life journey of 'Ae-soon' and 'Kwan-sik' as they face the waves of life together, the Act 4 of "Exploding Deceptions" finally opens the final act.
The released preview for Act 4 opens with 'Geum-myung' (IU) in a wedding dress, smiling brightly and waving, and 'Young-beom' (Lee Joon-young) mirroring her wave with a smile. As viewers wonder whether 'Geum-myung' can also find her first love like her parents, the winter of 'Ae-soon' (Moon So-ri) and 'Kwan-sik' (Park Hae-joon) unfolds, overlapping with moments of the now-grown 'Geum-myung' and 'Eun-myung' (Kang Yoo-seok), showcasing unpredictable events and challenges and yet the hope for spring that returns again.
In line with 'Geum-myung's' narration, “I don't know if anyone will come back or if new people will arrive, so I'm all nervous. And finally, a winter that I can never forget is coming,” the view of 'Kwan-sik' losing his temper for the first time at his daughter 'Eun-myung' and the sassy response of 'Eun-myung' when visiting her mother 'Ae-soon' in prison, 'Ah, what did you do for me?' shows that their winter is also a dramatic season.
'Sang-gil' (Choi Dae-hoon), crying out “Give me money, give me the money” toward his daughter 'Hyun-sook' (Lee Soo-kyung), is also a welcome appearance. Right before the bride enters, on the day of the entrance ceremony for elementary school and at the entrance of the exam hall for the college entrance exam, the scene of 'Kwan-sik' smiling and saying to young and innocent 'Geum-myung' what he used to say, 'Geum-myung, if it goes wrong, step back. I'll be standing here,' evokes warmth, reminding us of parents who held their ground no matter what waves crashed down.
Having passed through all the various heights and depths of life, the image of the elderly 'Ae-soon' and 'Kwan-sik' still holding hands under a pink cherry blossom petal dance brings back memories of their first awkward kiss in the canola flower field that was their spring day. After all the hard work shared together, which aligns with the meaning of the title of
The third batch of promotional stills, released together, captures scenes that offer a glimpse into the characters' stories in Act 4 of "Exploding Deceptions." On a bright day, the image of bride 'Geum-myung' taking photos in front of the wedding venue with a friend is pure happiness. At the wedding venue, 'Ae-soon' is smiling contentedly while 'Kwan-sik' appears teary-eyed. Their contrasting yet complex emotions showcase a mother's and father's feelings as they send their daughter away. Even as their children grow, 'Ae-soon' and 'Kwan-sik' continue to work hard for their family, hinting at the unchanging tenacity of the mischievous 'Ae-soon' and simple-minded 'Kwan-sik.'
Meanwhile, 'Chung-seob' (Kim Sun-ho), returning with a changed appearance after his time at the Cannes Theater Picasso, also catches the eye. The still images featuring 'Geum-myung' and 'Chung-seob' pique curiosity about what story they will tell. The sight of 'Sang-gil' and 'Young-ran' (Jang Hye-jin), who are standing apart and looking ahead, raises curiosity about the events that will unfold in their relationship, differing from the always buried conflicts of 'Ae-soon' and 'Kwan-sik.' The couple 'Eun-myung' and 'Hyun-sook' appear wiser than before, enhancing curiosity about their journey of growth as they learn about the world. In Act 4 of "Exploding Deceptions," the radiant moments of each character's life will gather to unfold a beautiful life, a journey together with hope.
