In fact, Jung Eun Hye, who has Down syndrome, opened up saying that people’s attitudes toward her changed after the drama aired.
Jung Eun Hye shocked me when she shared the discomfort she had experienced in the past, saying, “Before filming the drama, there were people who touched or harassed me when I was riding the train alone. I felt very bad at that time.”

Jung Eun Hye‘s father and film director Seo Dong-il also emphasized that the perception of Down syndrome has changed a lot after the drama aired.

Director Seo Dong Il is expecting another change through the movie ‘Your Face’, which will be released on June 23rd.

Director Seo Dong Il also said, “I am very grateful for this situation. I hope that through the film, people with developmental disabilities can move around without anxiety.”
On the other hand, Jung Eun Hye also expressed her gratitude, remembering that the actors Han Ji Min and Kim Woo Bin, who worked together in the drama, always took good care of her.
