Their director and writer of the movie Lee Sang Geun was also part of the video. Each cast member held up balloons that spelled out the title of their movie. Meanwhile, the director held the congratulatory cake.

The success of the movie can be based on its fresh concept as well as the actors in the movie. Their impressive and natural acting didn’t seem forced at all. All generations are sure to enjoy the movie.
