Park played Go Soo-ra, an upright and principled young man. It was his first historical drama, and he admitted to worrying about mimicking the speech and mannerisms. However, he said, 'I was told that since Soo-ra wasn't from the royal palace, I didn't need to be too strict with my speech, which was a relief.'
