Kim Hee Won wasnŌĆÖt wrong when he said, ŌĆ£After reading the ending scene of episode 1, I felt like I couldnŌĆÖt help but shoot this scene.ŌĆØ The obscene amount of money brought Oh In Ju, who had been stuck in ŌĆ£the lowest and darkest placeŌĆØ because of the never-ending poverty, pain, and confusion, to the place of light at once became an exhilarating turning point.
