[edit] Production
This drama was originally supposed to have actor Song Seung Hun play Gun-woo. However, a draft-dodging scandal involving Song Seung Hun broke out, causing him to enlist in the military service. On short notice, Yun Jung Hoon was selected as Song Seung Hun's replacement to play Gun-woo.[1]
