Casting
Jang Keun-Suk and Park Shin Hye were both cast first, with director Hong Sung Chang stating
that the two were well-suited to convey the “fresh” idol stars concept he wanted.[3] Lee Hongki,
who was a child actor, has made his acting comeback after a break of 5 years (his last being
Kkangsoon” in 2005pdl) by being cast as Jeremy.[4] An SBS spokesperson stated that because
Hong Ki is actually a part of an idol group FT Island , the "role will suit him very well."[5] The
role of Shin-woo marks Jung Yong Hwa's acting debut, which he auditioned for whilst preparing
to debut with his band C.N.Blue in Japan.[6]

Cultural impact
During its run, several car companies offered to have their cars be used on the drama for
promotional purposes.[7] The latest car from the German automaker Audi introduced their Audi
S4 on the miniseries, with Jang Keun-Suk (Tae Kyung) driving it.

Additionally, the soundtrack of the miniseries also sold 20,000 copies within its first seven days
of released due to the popularity of the show.[8] The album became a top seller on all the various
online sites, such as Melon, Dosirak, and Mnet.[9] The album was written and produced by Han
Sung-ho, who also worked on the dramas Lovers, On Air, and Brilliant Legacy.[10]

Because the drama features a concert footage in it, A.N.JELL actually performed a mini-concert,
[11]
where it was reported that as many 25,000 fans showed up.[12] The group performed the songs
“Promise” and “Still”; Jang Keun-Suk also sang “Good Bye” and “What Do I Do,” the latter of
which is the track Tae-kyung remakes for his mother in the drama. Park Shin Hye sang her
character’s theme song, “Lovely Day.” Despite its mediocre ratings, numerous fans have
watched the dramas online.[13][14] The drama also gained a cult following.[15]
