I've worked on many dramas and movies, and someone told me it would be great if I became famous in Korea. So, I was really happy to be able to appear in this work. The filming went really quickly, which surprised me."

"Everything was well organized. I think there's a lot to learn from the German drama system compared to the Korean system. Also, the staff were very kind to me, and I felt very comfortable filming. Unfortunately, my appearance was very short, but if I have the opportunity to film in Korea again, I would love to participate anytime. Thank you."
