Kim Min-ha said, “If I said it wasn’t hard for me, I’d be lying. I thought a lot about it. Seon-ja must have experienced a lot of things coming to season 2. Since it starts seven years after season 1, I have worked a lot on drawing the life of the character. The child has grown a lot and grown a lot. I tried to draw this part as well.”
Kim Min-ha, who also received a lot of help from makeup and costumes, said, “Interestingly, there were parts where I naturally became the character when I wear the clothes. I tried to express a lot of inertia and inner side.”
Lee Min-ho said, “Han-su ended up as a fish seller in season 1, but he became an arms dealer after a seven-year hiatus. I thought a lot about how he went up so fiercely in the process and how much dirt he got on his hands in the process.”

Seon-ja and Han-su have more complex relationships and emotions following season 1. “I think the relationship between Seon-ja and Han-su in season 2 is getting more mature and deeper as time goes by,” Kim Min-ha said. “I think the young love between Seon-ja and Han-su ended in the first season. Anyway, they are both parents now. They have a son called Noah. The conversation between the two has changed a lot, and the relationship has become deeper and inexplicable, which is the key to watch.”
Kim Min-ha said, “Seon-ja and Han-su became parents and talked to each other like old friends at the end. The scene was very emotional and nice. I loved it. It rained at that time, and I received a big and subtle force that day. I felt this is how it works.”
