Ong Seong Wu acted as Choi Joon Woo for five months, and concerning his character, he shared, “I’m someone who’s descriptive, but Joon Woo doesn’t explain. He pushes down his emotions and then expresses them all at once.” Despite his struggles to portray Choi Joon Woo, Ong Seong Wu said he simply chose to take the role because Choi Joon Woo was charming. He explained, “I liked the fact that he was growing. I was at a point where I needed to grow too, so I empathized with his story.”

He mentioned the hashtag “Choi Joon Woo who was completed by Ong Seong Wu.” Ong Seong Wu commented, “I was very touched by that.
