My Secret Terrius stars So Ji-sub, Jung In-sun, Son Ho-jun and Im Se-mi in the lead roles with dialogues in the final episode of the show showing the intensity of the virus, which attacks the body system after being exposed in a matter of minutes. Dialogues such as, "Someone tweaked it to increase the mortality rate to 90%," drawing comparison of coronavirus to MERS and "What’s more serious is that the coronavirus has an incubation period of two to 14 days.
