Once the news circulated, fans started drafting their wishlist of actors to be casted. One fan left a comment saying, “It would be good if Son Ye-jin portrayed Wang Manni. Collapse Jiang Shuying’s house, portray Jiang Shuying’s character.” This comment actually caught the attention of Maggie Jiang (江疏影). She responded to this netizen saying, “Go portray it. I unilaterally agree. What’s mine is all hers. What’s hers is…”
Maggie Jiang had previously publicly admitted her admiration for Hyun Bin. So when it was announced Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin were officially dating, she had this to say, “Celebrities are all swindlers. Always thought they were just good friends.”
