During an interview, Lee Yi-kyung shared, “Some people thought that our love story was wrapped up in a hurry in the last episode. I told Sohee, ‘I think ours is the best.’ It could be felt as hurried, but I think the other couples’ love stories were the ones that concluded in a rush.” He added, “There were a lot of changes to the script. There was originally even a kiss scene with Sohee, but the director chose to do it this way. I don’t think that it’s bad at all. Some people commented, ‘It feels like it’s hinting at a season three.’ I liked that better.” When asked what kind of actress Ahn So-hee is, Lee Yi-kyung remarked, “Until the very end, we did back-and-forth four-hour-long script readings in the conference room. We each had our way of approaching it. After meeting Sohee, I did four-hour-long readings in the conference room. She’s someone who works really hard, and she’s also the type to feel the pressure. I have my own way of doing things, and she followed along with that. She never went to the bathroom once during the four hours and wrote down a lot of things.” Lee Yi-kyung continued, “Towards the end, I even said, ‘Sohee, it’s a relief that you took on the character of Kim Jung-eun. Thank you.’ I don’t know how she must have felt, but I really liked it.” He shared, “I have a lot of passion. I’m the type of person to always be on set first and such. Sohee said she understood and that she would follow along. That’s how I felt that she works really hard. I also felt and learned a lot from Sohee. I’m thankful that she was in the drama.”
