Actress Ku Hye Sun revealed in an interview in November 2020 that she suffered a concussion while filming the scene in which she falls backwards into a swimming pool. "But I had to keep filming right away," she continued. "If I didn't immediately continue filming, the drama wouldn't be able to air on schedule. So I pushed myself to keep filming. Then, about a week later, I started feeling nauseated and dizzy. I eventually ended up fainting during filming and going to the hospital."
Original drama was previously remake in Taiwan and China.
