Ji ChangWook further revealed that as he read the webtoon before production began, he himself felt comforted by RiEul. His favourite words of advice from RiEul to Yun Ai were, “It’s not about living your life doing what you want to do. It’s about doing what you want to do as much as doing what you don’t want to do“. Having resonated so strongly with the character, he couldn’t help but take on the project.
