At the press conference for 'Ddanddara', Hyeri and Ji Sung were asked about the rivalry. Ji Sung answered, "Hwang Jung Eum is a friend who means a lot to me. From 'Secret Love' to 'Kill Me Heal Me', we know each other's acting, and I even know Hwang Jung Eum's weakness. (chuckles) And her partner is Ryu Joon Yeol. It's good to see them together, and they seem to have unique chemistry. I look forward to a high quality drama. I also am going to work hard to create a 'Ddanddara' band with Hyeri." 

Hyeri also shared a comment as she said, "I was really surprised. I think about 6 episodes overlap each other. First and foremost I think we have to work hard to shoot the drama." She continued, "I actually have talked with Ryu Joon Yeol. I gave him a call, and we talked about it. I asked if he's going to be okay because our drama is really good. I am going to give my best for the role and also cheer him on for a fantastic drama."
