SBS series `Duk-E` nears final episode

The SBS weekend drama ¡°Duk-E¡± will end with its 74th episode to be aired Dec. 31.

The drama has attracted a steadfast 30 percent audience share rating, although it was somewhat boring with repeated performances and slow development of plot, as it enters the final chapter of the drama. The attention of the middle-aged audience is focused on who is going to marry the good-natured Duk-E and whether the drama will close with happy ending.

Kim Hyun-Joo, 22, the actress who plays the role of Duk-E, said that she feels free and easy with the ending of the drama and misses something at the same time, adding that it will remain in her memory as an opportunity to experience diverse performances.
