Actor Joo Sang-Wook repeatedly apologized and reflected until the day Manager Kim ended.

Joo Sang-Wook on the 25th posted a photo with the caption "I just closed my eyes for a moment.. I'm sorry I love you♡".

In the released photo, Joo Sang-Wook is sitting in a chair on the set with his eyes closed. Behind Joo Sang-Wook, Yoon Kyung-ho pointed a prop gun and made a playful face, and Choi Dae-hoon even copied his sleeping face, bringing laughter. In particular, Joo Sang-Wook, who appeared to be asleep, apologized for his wrongdoing while mentioning So Jisub's signature drama "I'm sorry I love you" by saying "I just closed my eyes for a moment."

Earlier, the final episode of the SBS Fri.-Sat. drama Manager Kim broadcast on the 25th recorded 23.4% in the metropolitan area, 23.0% nationwide and a peak of 27.1% based on Nielsen Korea. With this, Manager Kim finished after not only ranking first in its time slot across all channels for 10 consecutive episodes but also breaking its own highest momentary viewership. The final episode's 2049 ratings also proved strong support across generations, averaging 7.4% and peaking at 8.42%.

Manager Kim recorded a cumulative TV audience of 25,638,593 and a cumulative reach of 52.56% across original broadcasts and replays from episode 1 through the final episode. This figure exceeds half of Korea's total population, making clear the sweeping "Manager Kim" syndrome in living rooms. (Based on Nielsen Korea nationwide cumulative reach aggregation)

Joo Sang-Wook passionately played Joo Gang-chan, the head of Joo Hak Construction and the perpetrator of school violence, the father of Joo Hye-ri. As the ultimate villain committing evil deeds, he received a corrective lesson from Manager Kim (played by So Jisub) and met a moral ending in which good triumphs over evil.
