During the shoot, Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin shared genuine chemistry, making viewers smile with their playful interactions despite the serious concept.

The two actors also introduced the poster's concept. Yoo Yeon-seok explained, "Since the genre of the work is a romance thriller, we tried to capture a warm yet cold and secretive atmosphere," while Chae Soo-bin added, "We wanted to show the complex and subtle relationship between Sa-eon and Hee-joo, as if they are in the same space but separated."

From the main couple poster to the teaser poster, Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin participated in the shoot sequentially and revealed the drama's key points. They stated, "With a story full of twists and turns and a genre combining romance and thriller, viewers can enjoy various fun aspects," adding, "Watching the evolving relationships of the characters alongside the events will provide another layer of enjoyment.
