He continued, "I always say that I learn a lot from him. Sometimes when we talk about acting, he gives me very helpful advice. He gives words that become the bone and flesh, so I was greatly influenced. He acted beyond what I had imagined."

Contrary to their relationship in the drama, they showed a friendly side on social media. Recently, Jo Han-sun shared a photo of himself carrying Namgoong Min on his back. Jo Han-sun said, "I wanted to carry Min hyung once. He really worked hard. He had so many lines and appeared so much. He looked tired. I carried him to cheer him up, but Min hyung said he would carry me instead," sharing the cheerful atmosphere on set.
