This is the feature film debut of director Lee Kyoung-mi, and also the first film produced by Park Chan-wook. She was Park’s assistant director for Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and is well-known for Netflix’s The School Nurse Files.

The character Mi-sook should be a hard character to be loved. Her character is profoundly unattractive because she has transformed herself over the years into a person who is so ground down by failure and disappointment. She insists to the world that being number one is for suckers. And still, I want to spend a couple of hours with this character.

In 2019, Kong Hyo-jin starred in romantic comedy film Crazy Romance and made her small-screen comeback in When the Camellia Blooms alongside Kang Ha-neul. Both hit commercial success, and solidified her position as a romantic comedy queen.
