Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
JISOO reportedly trained in martial arts for three months specifically for Young-joo's street-fighting sequences—her bruises were real.
The skyscraper setting deliberately echoes Seoul's real estate anxiety: even during apocalypse, you're trapped by class and geography. The novel it's based on was written during 2020 lockdowns.
