Since this is also her first time doing a rom-com, Lee Yoo Young revealed how director Jang Yang Ro guided her, especially with comical acting.

"The director has done a lot of comedy in his previous works, so when I didn't know how far to go, the director told me to do whatever I wanted to do and enjoy it as much as possible," she said, showing her great trust in the director.
