Viewers took to the viewer forums to comment, "When will Mu Yeon break the spell?" "Please let Hong Mu Yeon recognize Jeon Woochi" and "It′s so sad, how she can′t recognize the man she loved even when he′s right in front of her."

In the 10th episode, to air on December 20, Mu Yeon will finally break through the spell as viewers so wished. A series of stills released before the airing of the episode shows Uee shedding tears as soon as she is released, drawing attention to how she was able to break the spell and why she cries.

The episode was filmed on December 17 at a set in Mungyeong for 10 hours from 8 a.m. As soon as she appeared on set, Uee had to attach wires to her body for her action scenes, but still, despite the cold weather, she managed to put on a great performance in the air on her wires. As soon as she got the OK sign she even used her break to draw out the emotions for her next scene, in which she had to spill tears.

When her large eyes started to well up with tears, a male staff member even volunteered to cry for her.

A rep from Chorokbaem Media, Jeon Woochi′s production company, said, "Viewers bombarded us with questions on when Mu Yeon will be released from her spell. They will be able to see Mu Yeon break the spell in the 10th episode. Uee acted as a cold Hong Mu Yeon who didn′t show any emotions, but now she will express herself and become a loveable figure. Please show us more love for Jeon Woochi, with its ever-evolving story."
