Due to her limited time, Jung Soo Bin recalled how she memorized the lines all night long and the scene cannot be delivered carelessly "unless you know the overall flow of the narrative."

With this, Kim Sae Ron voluntarily stepped down from the cast lineup and reportedly work as a part-timer in a cafe.

As for Jung Soo Bin, she was known as Kim Sae Ron's replacement which seemed burdensome for the rookie actress.

Lo and behold, the director and writer were impressed with her portrayal but as for the actress, she immersed herself in the character and felt the "pain and process" of Kim Soo Bin.

"I thought about how to make her feel better for the character of Subin and express it well," she said, adding, "Soo Bin has pains and a process of growing up, and she's a wonderful friend. She wanted to do her best so that she wouldn't harm the work."

After "Trolley" Jung Soo Bin appeared in episodes 3 to 5 of "Island" starring Cha Eun Woo, Lee Da Hee, and Kim Nam Gil.
