- The production team's statement about the drama's focus on the characters' relationship beyond their wounds has sparked interest, with many speculating about the story's direction.

The open question
The premiere date of July 25 is set, but the question remains how the drama will balance its exploration of the characters' past wounds with the development of their renewed relationship, and what kind of closure or new beginnings the story will offer.
