He praised Ko Min-si's acting skills, saying, `While watching the play, her acting never hindered her immersion, and it was an acting that made me wonder about the next episode.' In addition, Yoon Kye-sang said he admired Chanyeol's passion on the set. He said "Chanyeol has been full of energy since the reading.
