It was a huge commercial and critical success, becoming one of South Korea's highest-grossing films and winning numerous awards.

Development

Director Choi was offered to make the film by SIDUS FNH and rejected it three times. After deciding to make the film, he met Huh YoungMan and asked for permission to recreate the story. Choi read the original manhwa three times in a row in one sitting, and never revisited it for 6 months. He created an outline of 12 pages, and the scenario was written based on that outline. Writing a draft for the scenario took him a year.

The original manhwa was created based on Tazza Jang, ByeongYoon's story. Director Choi sought advice to Jang to make the film. Cho, SeungWoo learned hwatu skills from Jang.
