According to the drama’s producers, the two actors also displayed great teamwork during filming, and Joo Ji Hoon personally expressed confidence in their chemistry as he heaped praise on his co-star.

“As you can see in the videos that have already been released, Jun Ji Hyun has great energy,” said Joo Ji Hoon. “Even in situations that could be physically exhausting, she cheerfully led the atmosphere in a positive direction, and thanks to her, both the atmosphere on set and our chemistry were really great.”
