Park Eun Bin said that the project made her anxiety about doing new things vanish. She believes that this will stay with her forever. She also believes that her character in the show is much more experienced and wise than her in real life. Woo recognizes the importance and power of adults and aspires to utilize that knowledge and power for good. Also, Eun Bin feels like a quote from the show— “I will try to overcome unfamiliar and uncomfortable things” —works like a magic spell on her.
Bin also mentioned that she didn’t expect anything and completely left the show’s success to the audience. She was surprised to see the reactions after the release of the show. Bin mentioned that she’s still living the way she used to. However, now she is constantly requested for autographs.
