In the newly released stills, Jung Chan Young can be seen in various positions showing different aspects of her life. In the first still, she is seen talking on the phone in an office setting. In the next still, she is lying comfortably on her stomach with her hands and face propped up on a pillow. She is concentrating on writing something and appears to be deep in thought.

When discussing the show, Jeon Mi Do talked about how she connected a lot with the drama. She said, “It was so fun that I read the script all at one time. Because it’s a story about my age, I sympathized a lot with it.” She continued on to talk about her character, Jung Chan Young, and said, “The way she expresses her thoughts and feelings without hesitation was attractive to me.” She expressed that the first impression she got from the character was not much different than her thoughts once she had started filming the drama. She elaborated by saying if there was one word to describe Jung Chan Young, it would be “freedom.”

Among the most important things while preparing for the drama, she emphasized the chemistry between the three friends in the show. Despite the friends being in their 30s and becoming adults, they are still immature even as 39-year-olds, and the story will focus on this chemistry between these long time friends.

Please look forward to Jeon Mi Do’s performance.”
