Kim Tae-ri was interviewed by Kukmin Ilbo in Seoul on the 18th and was asked about the age gap. "I do think about the concern around me but, that's not something I can do anything about. I just have to do my best with what's given to me. There is also a big gap in experience between us so I have to do my best. I met him when we were script reading. He seemed blunt".

Netizens worry that the story of romance between two people twenty years apart may seem disturbing.

A similar controversy took place for the tvN drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" starring Gong Yoo (38) and Kim Go-eun (27) and "My Mister" starring Lee Sun-kyun (42) and Lee Ji-eun (24).
