Kang So Ra explained that she received help with caring for her daughter when she had to film the drama. Kang So Ra shared, "I received a lot of help with childrearing from those around me. The filming schedule changed to only 4 days a week so it helped a lot. So I was able to take care of my child for the 3 days I wasn't working."

The actress also shared that having a child and the change in her life was something she needed. She explained, "Personally, I think this was a change that I needed in my life. I actually adjusted fairly quickly. I used to live with my parents before getting married so I feel I was able to truly become independent now. I realized that I used to live most of my life as celebrity Kang So Ra but I put that aside so life is much better."
