She even joked that there's no reason for her to decline the offer, especially after meeting Kim Hee Won.
"Filming the drama was a heavy burden as the production unit expects a lot from me," Kim Go Eun dished out with honesty. "But thanks to my co-stars, I enjoyed the process."
Meanwhile, Nam Ji Hyun hints at her upcoming powerful transformation in the drama, saying that she will meet the viewers with a stronger character this time.
