Shin Si Ah expressed her worries in her first film since she did not have enough understanding of movie sets yet.

Talking about her character, the actress revealed she tried hard to empty her feelings to perfectly portray Shin’s role. As for their differences, Shin Si Ah said she is good at showing her feelings, while her character does not have one.
How the Weather Helped Her Get Into Character
In the same interview, Shin Si Ah mentioned how a scene helped her to get into character fully.
"We had such a hard time (filming in Jeju) because of the weather. And that scene originally wasn't supposed to have snow, but we switched it because of the weather conditions. It actually was my first time walking in the snow with bare feet, just like it was the girl's first time. So I was able to resonate with the character deeper," she said.
After doing well along with her co-stars, Shin Si Ah felt curious about the final product as the film involved CGI. Before she was able to see the film, she often watched Marvel Studio’s movies for the action sequences to make the scenes look better,
Aside from Shin Si Ah, other stars like Park Eun Bin, Seo Eun Soo, Jin Goo, and Sung Yoo Bin also joined the sequel.
