When questioned about which era Byeon Woo Seok enjoyed the most while portraying Ryu Sun Jae—whether at 19, 20, or 34 years old—he responded by saying he enjoyed all of them. Woo Seok even mentioned his fondness for every age timeline of Sol as well.

In response to a question, Song Geon Hee, reflecting on Tae Sung's perspective, described Sol and Sun Jae's significance. Sol, he explained, was the catalyst for Tae Sung's transformation, guiding him towards a better path by turning over a new leaf and essentially saving him from his predetermined fate from one of the timeline. 

She's someone he feels compelled to protect. Sun Jae and In Hyuk, on the other hand, represent the type of friends one naturally grows close to during middle and high school—those whose presence becomes integral without any deliberate effort. They hold immense value as cherished companions, reassuring Tae Sung that he is not alone.
