Those details were really impressive.ŌĆØ He also mentioned what it was like working with the executive producer Soo Hugh.

The constant discussions that we had repeated over and over again made the overall image of Han Su very clear in my head. Now, IŌĆÖve become a good friend with her,ŌĆØ he shared. Lee Min Ho commented, ŌĆ£Even as I read the scripts, there were many things I sympathized with. I related to some characters over why they acted in such a way. It changed my stance on the project.
