Few thoughts from the leading actresses
Kim Go-eun “When we first met, when I read the script, I felt like we really were sisters. I even wondered to myself if we had met on another occasion. And I realized that I have such good partners that the only thing left for me to do is to do my job as well as I can.” Nam Ji-Hyun “When we took the family photos together for the characters in the show, I remember being shocked when I saw the results. I had the feeling that we really resemble each other. Even though we are different, there seems to be something that connects us.”
Park Ji-hu “On set, I really felt like the little sister because I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the older sisters. I am very grateful to feel that I have received more love than I deserve. I was very happy on the sets because they were always there to help me and take care of me.”
