Meanwhile, WJSN’s Chu So Jung (Exy) lights up the set with her bright, innocent smile. Director Oh Hwan Min praised her performance, commenting, “Even though her role required a lot of emotional ups and downs, Chu So Jung maintained a great balance with the cast throughout the entire shoot.”

Chu So Jung also spoke about her experience with Kim Hee Jung, who plays her character’s mother. She said, “I remember the emotional scene I shot with Kim Hee Jung. I was really nervous since it was early on in the shoot, but she was always patient, held my hand, and helped me a lot. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my acting.”

Finally, the stills show Lee Sae On and Lee Soo Min, who both play dual roles, in both traditional and modern attire, showcasing their strong presence and versatility as they embody the different charms of their respective roles.
