Cho Jung-seok, her co-star, said, "The movie required physical strength because there were many scenes of running and rolling around, so I prepared a lot physically. But Yoona was faster and went further than me, so I was a bit taken aback". Im Yoona said, "Eui-joo is responsible and very active, which is a lot like me. I tried to bring out all of those sides".
