Actor Jo Byung Gyu’s final thoughts following the final episode gained attention online as it brought tears to fans’ eyes.

I am happy to bring even a little bit of consolation to everyone during these hard times.

— Jo Byung Gyu

Having taken on his first lead role in a K-Drama, he also admitted that sometimes the pressure was too much. “But the directors, staff, other actors, and viewers gave [him] the strength and support to successfully finish filming.”

Jo Byung Gyu felt that this experience, although very difficult, was like a gift:

I still can’t believe that this gift-like drama has come to an end, and it even makes me scared that I am calm about it. I know that the feeling of emptiness will be big but I will get through it just like my character So Mun.

⁠— Jo Byung Gyu

Jo Byung Gyu received much praise for his strong yet detailed portrayal of the righteous character So Mun.
