Director Jeon Chang-geun, Hwang Jung-eum, Choi Won-young, Lee Jun-hyeok, and Jeong Da-eun gathered for a press conference and dished on how the drama will be different from the webtoon, the drama being Yook Sung-jae’s last project before military, and how the healing drama offers a refreshing take on societal issues.

How the Drama Compares to the Original Webtoon?
Director: The drama is quite different from the original webtoon. There are some differences with the characters. The webtoon focuses on individual customer's stories a lot but the drama focuses moe on the characters helping the customers.
Hwang Jung Eum: I cried alot while looking at the original [webtoon]. There's more comedy than I had expected, but the drama balances comedy and serious point well.
Message to BTOB's Yook Sung-Jae Who Enlisted in the Military
Choi Won-young: We knew he had to go to the military, but not the exact date. He received notice and had to quickly go, so I couldn’t see him before he left. I messaged him and said I was sorry I couldn’t buy him a meal before he enlisted.
Hwang Jung-eum: You worked so hard and I was worried about you enlisting. However, you look healthy, so that makes me feel relieved. Be sure to watch the drama!
Lee Jun-hyeok: Eat well and listen to your superiors. It will end soon. Time flies. Really. Hurry and come out. Let’s go get a drink then.
Jeong Da-eun also cheered him on and expressed hopes to catch up after he completes his service.
