He stated, "To be honest, the actor I had in mind was not Cha Tae Hyun but Jung Suk Yong."�

Jung Suk Young:

Joo Ho Min continued, "But I was really happy when we got Cha Tae Hyun for the role. I had an imaginary cast in my mind and then we started filming 5-6 years later. At first, I thought Cha Tae Hyun was too young for the role because�Ja Hong is a character in his 40's but I knew he could well portray Ja Hong."

He added, "Cha Tae Hyun's face is like a blank page. He has a handsome face but he doesn't stand out when he's with other actors. I loved how he has a face that can be colored with anything."
