He added, “A broadcasting station from Singapore will visit the set on April 25 to report on the series and actors.”
“The series drew a lot of attention thanks to writer Lee Hee Myung, who returned writing TV drama in six years. Since the series is a romantic comedy combined with mystery, it could have become a beloved series. We will try harder to make TV dramas for the youth as well.”
