The film director, Lee Gae-byok, who worked on the shows Cheer Up, Mr. Lee and The Beast and the Beauty, commented that although there are many exciting romantic scenes in the film, it also touches on the reality of balancing work opportunities and relationships.

Da-eun and Bo-yeong have completely different personalities. 

Da-eun is very warm and comforting, although she may seem cold at times.

Bo-yeong on the other hand is a city girl that is surprisingly very simple and knows how to appreciate the little things.
