Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jang Na-ra was 36 playing 20 and 38; her real-life age ambiguity became a running joke on set. She reportedly asked for fewer close-ups in the college scenes.
The 'go back' premise resonated with Korea's '880,000 won generation'—young adults trapped between failed expectations and economic reality. The 2002 college setting isn't random; it's when this demographic's dreams died.
