Regarding his role, Kim Joo Hyuk commented, “I think the role of a truthful reporter is more important now than ever.

Chun Woo Hee said, “I liked [the drama] because the script portrayed the characters and situations realistically. It was also interesting to see Yeon Hwa as an autonomous, enduring, and growing character, and I’m also excited to see the other characters come to life. Because the drama deals with reporters, I will do my best to show sincerity and make it easy for our viewers to relate with the drama.”
