A number of industry insiders said Suzy was offered the role of female protagonist Hong Seol, and that she was contemplating options at the moment. Other actresses are also being considered.

For the male lead, actor Park Hae-jin has been set to take the role since early on. Park is perhaps best known for his supporting role in the hit drama series “My Love From the Star,” where he acted the lead female character’s affluent friend and secret admirer.
