The lead stars take turns sharing insights and fondness for their latest drama.
“It is difficult to portray the character according to the temporal difference. I had to do the calculation in terms of the difference in styling, skin tone, eyes, and attitude according to the time period to create an irreplaceable Yeon-jun and Si-heon.” – Ahn Hyo Seop
“Min-ju and Jun-hee have different views, actions, and reactions to Yeon-jun and Si-heon, so I relied heavily on the other actors to create the characters. A close communication with fellow actors and production staff was necessary.” – Jeon Yeo Been
“I acted while focusing on the detailed emotional changes of In-gyu, who looks weak on the outside, but is a rational, calm and thoughtful character. I exquisitely capture In-gyu’s emotional changes and balances the love triangle.” – Kang Hoon

Director Kim Jin-won mentions how songs should go well with the melodramatic feeling of the series and the atmosphere that transcends time and space.
