Kim Yoo Jung as Jung Saet Byul is the energetic store manager and hardworking sister. She impressed everyone with her prowess as an actress with her immersed emotions. She said, "During the final scenes of filming, everyone was on the set all day, and I don't think it really hit me that it was over. Each moment, from day one, I appeared at the convenience store until Ji Chang Wook, and I continued bickering."
She added, "Jung Saet Byul's action and funny scenes are unforgettable. I am very grateful and want to express how I appreciate the cast, crew, and director who worked with me. Most of all, I want to thank our viewers who support us all the way."
