Ha Jung-woo stated, "My senior at school told me this story about seven years ago. Director Yoon Jong-bin received a proposal from Perfect Storm, the production business he was employed for. Director Yoon at first declined. He submitted it to various directors, but it was turned down, and he found himself lost. Director Yoon grew intrigued by this narrative after completing "The Duke," so we decided to turn it into a series," he said of how he created the drama.

Says Ha Jung-woo "Working with director Yoon Jong-bin was better since we had mutual trust in one another. As a friend who has been making movies with him since he was little, there is a challenging element. I had to concentrate harder. There may be an assumption that because the two of you are close, you are confused." Working with director Yoon requires me to put in more effort and lead by example " he said.

"During "Kundo: Age of the Rampant," it was similar, but this time it was more difficult.  I tried my hardest to make this work as gross as possible, therefore I'm really happy with it.
