In an interview, Jo Dal Hwan shared that he wanted to have many experiences through this film, and when he heard Chanyeol had been cast for the movie as well, he was sold!

By the time I was cast in the film, Chanyeol was already a global music star and I’ve always had a desire to take part in a musical film like Begin Again or Once. I was also excited about the idea of traveling across the country and trying regional specialty dishes.
