Production
Television director Jo Soo-won (I Can Hear Your Voice, Pinocchio) and screenwriter Min Hyo-jung (Rooftop Room Cat, Full House) were originally hired for the series.[14] Then on May 15, 2015 Jo dropped out of the project due to "creative differences" with production company iWill Media; he returned a week later on 22 May, and a statement was released that Min had been replaced with screenwriters Jung Do-yoon (Grudge: The Revolt of Gumiho, Baby Faced Beauty) and Lee Ha-na (Cunning Single Lady).[15]
The series' first teaser trailer was released online on June 6, 2015, then taken down a few days later after its concept was confirmed to have been plagiarized from the 2014 animated short film Jinxy Jenkins, Lucky Lou.[16]
