But it was Ahn Jae Hong's reflection on one emotionally charged moment that drew the spotlight: a kiss shared between his character and male co-star Yoo Ah In. 'It was a symbolic moment showing the emotional reconciliation between two previously antagonistic characters," Ahn Jae Hong shared with quiet conviction.'I approached it with sincerity, understanding its importance in the character arc," she added. It's a small but significant moment in a story otherwise packed with genre tropes, and it's sparked curiosity for reasons that go beyond marketing hype. For director Kang Hyoung Chul, the scene was always part of the vision. He chose not to comment directly on the media's fixation with the kiss, instead emphasizing the collaborative nature of the project. 'This film is the product of many people's dedication. Every scene, every moment, was built with care,' he noted.
