It is based on webcomic “Sanyanggaedeul” by Jeong Chan (published from May 16, 2019 to December 24, 2020 via Naver).
Actress Kim Sae-ron played the role of Cha Hyun-joo, but on June 2, 2022, Netflix Korea announced Kim would be removed from the series. Kim Sae-ron had a serious DUI accident while filming the series. The abrupt cut out from the storyline from Ep. 7 is due to the personal trouble she made.
