Through the drama’s advertising company 3HW COM, Watase Yuu stated, “After the Japanese drama was released, the first country I heard was interested in dramatizing the story was Korea.

About the series as a whole, Watase Yuu explained, “The series was first created back when the internet started taking root in our daily lives, and I thought it would be fun to imagine what it would be like to order a relationship online. The series was aimed at teens, so it was a comical, fantasy element to it. It’s kind of like a fairytale for adults, and it’s a story about an innocent and unconditional love. I hope people will feel warn watching the drama.”
