During the repeated rehearsals, IU expressed, "Oh, this is tough," but confidently added, "I'm the best at this." Checking her appearance on camera, she joked, "I look a mess, but there's a cute charm to it," bringing laughter.

Before the outdoor shoot, while practicing the waltz with Byeon Woo-seok, IU candidly admitted, "I can't do this scene," and "This scene isn't easy," which amused everyone on set.

The waltz scene was mostly completed with ad-libs. IU couldn't help but smile whenever she made eye contact with Byeon, and in her concentration, she puckered her lips, forming a duck face. Byeon noticed and laughed, saying, "What's with your lips?" showcasing their chemistry.
