The "Little Women" star added that the crew would take more than 40 takes for one scene, and the actress realized that shooting a drama is exhausting. She also came to a realization that she was the one making everyone exhausted.

Kim Go Eun elaborated, "The cameraman was shooting every single movement that I made. Even if I moved a little, they would not miss that and film me doing that from different angles. I had no idea that they were recording every moment that I made."
