Noh Sang Hyun, known for his roles in Apple TV’s 'Pachinko' and films like 'Love in the Big City' and Netflix’s 'Genie, Make A Wish,' is being considered for a significant role in the drama, enhancing the cast lineup.
The drama, produced by Kakao Entertainment and scheduled to broadcast on MBC in the latter part of the year, has heightened anticipation with IU's success in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' Byeon Woo Seok's popularity from 'Lovely Runner,' and the potential addition of Noh Sang Hyun.
