Lee Sang Yi recalled a particularly difficult moment involving an underwater scene. Despite having a phobia of deep water, he managed to film the scene with Park Bo Gum’s encouragement. “I’m okay with pool water, but diving is another level. I felt panicked when I removed the breathing gear,” Lee shared. “Bo Gum told me, ‘Hyung, I’ll protect you,’ and stayed by my side.”

He also praised Park’s exceptional swimming skills, saying, “He’s really like a seal. Did you see When Life Gives You Tangerines? He swam in the ocean without a double.”
