He explained his acting focus by saying, "Since Yu-il is preparing for a job while working various part-time jobs, I thought he wouldn't have time to dress up. So, I tried to focus on what kind of expressions and emotions he would have if he let go of his appearance and lived each day intensely."Park Soo-young will not only lead the project as the main character but also contribute to the OST with his distinctive clear voice. He hinted, "It's a song that contains the words Go Yu-il wants to say to Tak Mu-yi as he falls in love with him," sparking curiosity.Kim Hyun-jin (second from left) plays the role of Tak Mu-yi, a top star loved by everyone, and plays a pivotal role in the drama.
