When Oriental Daily News reached out to Nancy Wu to address these reports, she said, “Definitely not!”. However, when reporters pressed on further, she evaded the questions. Reporters also asked Ruco Chan to comment about the rumors Nancy Wu rejecting the series after finding out he was the male lead. He responded, “How do I have the ability to do that? I don’t know where you guys got this version of the story from. I already expected to film this series about a year ago. At the time, I knew the female lead wasn’t this one (Nancy Wu). The female lead is now Rosina Lam (林夏薇). A year ago, it wasn’t her either.”

He also says Ruco Chan accepted the role after hearing about the script and didn’t ask who would be portraying the female lead. He says since the beginning, he had planned on using Rosina Lam as the female lead all along.
