Kim Hye Yoon, portraying Im Sol, shared her own thoughts on the role and the pressure that came with it. "I loved the script, but I admit I felt some pressure at first, thinking 'Could I really pull off Im Sol?' But it was a good kind of pressure," she said. Kim also touched on the significance of playing a 30-year-old character, marking a departure from her previous roles and adding a new depth to her acting repertoire.
