The scene in the stills was filmed on October 16 at the drama’s fixed set location. Jang Hyuk, along with the rest of the crew, focused intensely on capturing the match’s flow, technical skills, and the character’s emotions. The entire big match sequence took 18 hours to film, but according to the production staff, Jang Hyuk never wavered in his concentration.

They stated, “You’ll be able to see a new side of Jang Hyuk and a new part of his character’s story through this match. It will be painful and heartbreaking but also emotional. Jang Hyuk is an amazing actor at capturing both action and emotion at once.”

Episodes 15 and 16 of “Bad Papa” were supposed to have aired on October 23, but were delayed due to a baseball game.
