Ji Chang-wook said, "This work highlights not only the chemistry between humans and gumiho but also the witty interactions among the characters. The script, which makes you curious about the next story as the episodes progress, was very attractive, and the story of Choi Seok and Ja-hong was truly fascinating. We are enjoying filming, so please show lots of interest and support."

Cha Ju-young plays Ji Woo-kyung, CEO of Woo Kyung Entertainment, the only person who knows Gu Ja-hong's true identity, and Kang Yoo-seok plays Go Tae-seung, deputy director of the Oseong Museum and a longtime friend of Choi Seok.
