She also revealed that, despite Song Hye Kyo's character being her enemy in the drama, the two actresses are actually close friends, and all the cast members share a strong bond of friendship. She explained, "We are so innocent and nice. Even when filming, all we talk about is food and dogs. We are complete opposites of our characters. Hye Kyo unnie even bought me pork belly, and we are really close." 

Lim Ji Yeon also explained that the cast members became real friends and often hang out and eat together. She explained, "We became real friends so we meet very often," and then joked, "Maybe we became really close because the drama was so successful."
