The lead actors appeared on the latest episode of YouTube‘s Zzanbro show with comedian Shin Dong Yup to promote the K-Drama’s release. Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin told all, revealing how their upcoming kiss scenes were shot.

The actors explained that since their characters are predominantly in space with no gravity, there were multiple stunt performers dressed in green (so they could be edited out) to hold them to create the illusion. So, while the actors are held by wires (and men), they must act even intimate kiss scenes.
