Cha Joo Young added, "I remember when my casting was confirmed. It was when I was at my limit because the audition would not end no matter how much I went for the audition. Anger and frustration were at the top when I met the director one final time. He said,'I'm sorry I keep calling you to meet. Let's make the decision today. How have you been?' and I cursed when I replied and said to him honestly, 'I've been feeling like s***' and he really liked it. I didn't prepare it or anything but I just candidly shared how I felt. I think I really let go at that point. but he cast me."

I really think the director took the risk and cast me. He gave me feedback after each scene and they were harsh. I think it was so that I had no choice but to prepare diligently."

She added, "I gained 5-6 kg for the role because she was a voluptuous character. I also did a lot of research into the type of person Hye Jeong is but I wasn't able to find much." Cha Joo Young added, "We stayed true to the script. We did not ad lip anything. The writer, director, and cast members were all professional."
