Production

O Yeong-su, best known internationally for his role in Squid Game, was originally cast as the head monk and had completed filming all of his scenes. However, following his indictment in November 2022 on charges of sexual misconduct and subsequent conviction, the production company announced that his role would be recast. The decision led to a complete re-shoot of his scenes with actor Lee Soon-jae.

Principal photography started in October 2022 and concluded in January 2023, with filming taking place at the Buddhist Broadcasting System studio in Mapo District.
