Aladdin and Kyobo Bookstore's online bookstore ranking also ranked second on the overall best-selling chart.

Based on the book form of the on-site script actually used at the filming site, the pattern was newly drawn to add to the texture of each book. The cover paper that utilizes the old typeface and the texture of Korean paper makes use of the atmosphere of ancient books, and behind the storyboard part, the real Gyeongsan hydration "Cheongryeongpodo" of the Joseon Dynasty, depicting King Danjong's exile, is composed of a ground page.
