The drama’s director, Ben Ree, assured viewers that these scenes would strengthen the story. Jeong Yu Mi also speaks on this issue during a press conference.
“I felt burdened at the nudity at first, but now I believe that these scenes were necessary to maintain tension. I was also very excited to film it,” she said.
