"I think I put the most emphasis on trying to empathize with and understand Jeong Joon's environment and feelings," Kim Woo Bin said about his character.

Kim Woo Bin recalled that time, saying, "Even though I had taken motion sickness medicine in advance, it was difficult. I was focused and just breathing while looking at the end of the sea.
