Filming reportedly took place between January 2022 to October 2022.
However, there were some issues with filming in August when actress Han So Hee was hurt on set and suffered a facial injury. In her absence, filming continued, and fortunately, she did not require any surgery for the injury.
Since filming came to an end the series has reportedly been completed. Which would also include post-production. Considering the preliminary release date for the drama isn’t until December 2023, we’re unsure if post-production has concluded and if the information is incorrect.
