The newly released making-of video is pure gold. During the photo shoot, the actors impress with their creative poses, bringing laughter to the set with their fun poses. \The cast’s natural chemistry leaps off the screen even before a single episode has aired.

The banter got even better during the cast quiz round. When asked who is the mood-setter on set, Park Ji Hoon hesitantly asks, “Is it me?” Lee Sang Yi picks Yoon Kyung Ho, while Lee Hong Nae points to Lee Sang Yi. Nobody could agree — and that’s probably the best sign of a genuinely fun ensemble.

When asked who knows the most tasty restaurants, Park Ji Hoon and Yoon Kyung Ho hesitantly bring up Lee Sang Yi, while Lee Sang Yi and Han Dong Hee confidently point to Jung Woong In. The real food expert remains a delicious mystery.

And the one-word description that sums the whole show up? Yoon Kyung Ho shares, “It’s legendary.” We couldn’t agree more.

Park Ji Hoon on His Character
