The production company, YEG, said, "Director Pyo Min-soo, who has a prominent way of subtly expressing emotions, and writer Noh Hee-kyeong held a long search for actors who could embrace the character in the best way". "The World They Live In" was the drama that Director Pyo mentioned as "In-soon is Pretty" ended last December.

"The World They Live In" is to air in November.
