Regarding the reason for Yoo Hae-jin's appearance, Jang Hang-jun explained, "He decided after reading the script. The script resonated well with him. And he felt that this story has a deep impact on people."

Jang Hang-jun further shared about the message he sent to Yoo Hae-jin: "When I said, 'Hae-jin, thank you so much for trusting me,' he replied, 'Yes. Let's work hard together.'" This revealed a warm atmosphere between them.

Yoon Jong-shin exclaimed about Yoo Hae-jin's performance, saying, "It was a true hard carry."
