Talking about the casting process, director Park said that  Lim Ji Yeon was his “one pick” for the project. He was determined to cast her three years ago, even before she became the most-hated weather forecaster Park Yeon Jin in The Glory!

When veteran actor Park Sung Woong was asked about his experience working with Lim, he couldn’t praise her enough for her work ethic. He revealed that Lim Ji Yeon’s character Joo Hyeon is related to the cyber investigation team and hence, had a lot of lines. For many of the scenes, actors needed detailed explanations for their dialogues, but she made no mistakes.

But what’s even more impressive is that the actress didn’t even have to bring her script on set, because she memorized all her lines so well! While everyone in the room was marveling at Lim’s genius memory, Park joked that though she didn’t bring her own script, sometimes she would borrow the script from other actors. The actress admitted shyly amidst laughter that there are times when she gets confused.
