On August 22, KBS announced that in an emergency meeting they decided to stop production. The filming of the series would stop to prevent the cast and crew become infected with the pandemic of COVID-19, as new outbreaks of the disease were reported. On October 13, first look poster and first air date was officially announced. The drama's first poster apparently purported to show an important clue, as it shows a document inside a plastic bag taped shut at the scene of a crime. The document is stained with blood and reads, "If Han Woo-sung has an affair with another person after he has married Kang Yeo-joo, Kang Yeo-joo will have all the rights to Han Woo-sung's body."
