Regarding the reason for choosing Trolley, Kim Hyun Joo divulged her thoughts.

In addition, she also provided details about her character along with her preparations.
“Kim Hye-joo is a person who has never enjoyed perfect happiness. She met a man named Nam Joong-do and formed her family. She overcame her wounds with his love, but while she was going through another ordeal, she was a pitiful person. “I wanted viewers to feel a thrill from the beginning. She smiles on the outside, but she kept trying to keep the uneasy feeling that bearing a secret she’s afraid people would know. The job of a book repairer was unfamiliar to me. It was a new job that I had never experienced before, so it appealed to me.”
The Competent Politician Who Confronts Unexpected Concern

“I thought it was a well-written script. It is clear in the story what the author wanted to convey and the message the work gave. However, she doesn’t force it on the viewers, but gives them room to participate in the story themselves. I was attracted to the fact that it unfolds without hesitation from the first episode. “
“Regarding Nam Joong-do, he is a politician who does his best in his job as a member of the National Assembly to lead the world in the right direction. He is also a husband who loves and cherishes his wife.”
