Conveying how she was able to show her lively and whimsical sides befitting of her age Kim Hye Jun expressed being grateful for working with talented senior actors.
“Actually, when I saw this script, it was very interesting, and I really want to portray K, but I was worried that I could not do it. I took on a challenge and I am learning every moment and having a happy and grateful time.”
Thankful for the opportunity to be in the same drama as Lee Young Ae, Jo Hyun Chul confessed there were surreal moments for him as a junior actor.
