Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a Korean remake of Chinese hit 'Go Ahead' (2020), which itself became a phenomenon for normalizing non-traditional family structures in conservative Asian drama markets.
Director Kim Seung-ho specifically cast Hwang In-yeop after seeing his ability to convey unspoken longing in 'True Beauty'—the grocery store reunion in episode 8 was filmed in a single continuous take.
