She starts working as a professor at a law school, where she meets Hwang In Yeop’s Gong Chan.

Seo Hyun Jin Says She Learned While Working on Set

Speaking in an interview through her agency, Management Soop, after the series ended, she opened up about the positive things she went through while working on the project.

As quoted by The Korea Times, the actress said that the project required a long time of production. Since she put herself on it for a long time, she reportedly felt sad that it had ended already.

“I learned more about working on the set and about me as a person through this series. This particular work had a long production time and required me to put energy into various aspects of it. It feels like the time went by so fast so I'm rather sad (that it's over),” she said.
