Reminiscing of the time he spent filming the drama, Choikang Changmin said, “In the scene in which I had to act alongside a horse, I had troubles because the horse wasn’t listening to the commands.” Choikang Changmin even performed ‘Confession’, a song for which he wrote the lyrics, and stated, “I don’t sing by myself most of the time so I was very nervous about this.” Regarding the fact that he provided his own dubbing services for his character in the DVD, he smiled shyly and said, “I was really embarrassed about doing it.”

Lee Yeon Hee, who acted alongside Choikang Changmin in the drama, joined him on this day to commemorate the DVD release. She stated, “I had fun at the event because it reminded me of the days we spent filming for the drama.” A special video message from U-Know Yunho was played in which he said, “I think Changmin did really well. I saw a new masculine side of him that I hadn’t seen before.”
