Behind the Scenes and Cast Impressions
Higashimura says of the work, "I think it's a drama with a completely new feel, containing three elements that normally don't mix together: 'travel feeling,' 'laughter,' and 'a chill down your spine.'" Hashimoto revealed that she has read many of Higashimura's works, and commented, "There are many live-action adaptations of manga originals, but it's unusual for the original idea that the teacher had been working on to be made into a drama first." Choi Jong Hyub expressed his thoughts on the script, saying, "The characters that appear all had very distinct personalities and were drawn three-dimensionally, so I found it very interesting and interesting to read."
