On September 24, 2021, Chorokbaem Media announced a contract with JTBC Studios to produce and supply the series, with a budget of 8 billion won for a total of 16 episodes.

This is the fifth collaboration between director Kim Suk-yoon and screenwriter Park Hae-young, following previous works such as the sitcom 'Old Miss Diary' and the eponymous film, among others.

Director Kim Suk-yoon and actress Kim Ji-won reunited four years after the film 'Detective Park: Secret of the Wolf Fangs' (2018).

Jeon Hye-jin and Chun Ho-jin reunited on this production 12 years and 1 month after having acted together in the SBS drama 'Geudae, Useoyo' (2009).

Jeon Hye-jin returned to TV screens in this series four years and one month after the tvN drama 'Mother' (2018).

Actor Gong Yoo recommended the series to his fans on Instagram during its broadcast and, after it ended, left a glowing review on his fancafe, highlighting the direction, screenplay, and performances.

The series debuted in ninth place on Netflix's Global Top 10 for non-English series in the week of May 16-22, 2022, rising to fifth place the following week.

The first episode recorded a national viewership of 2.9%, while the final episode reached the series' peak viewership at 6.7%.

According to Good Data Corporation, the series led the TV-OTT drama buzz ranking for four consecutive weeks, with an increase of 26.84% from the previous week, coming behind only the record set by the series 'SKY Castle', also from JTBC.

Starting with the 33rd edition of the Korea Broadcasting Screenwriters Awards, works from OTT platforms became eligible to compete, and the rule that prevented the same screenwriter from winning twice was eliminated; Park Hae-young's victory at the 35th edition was the first under these new rules.
