Since then, Oh Gwang-rok and his father have never lived together for nearly 30 years. Oh Kwang-rok has become distant as he has not been able to spend all of his son's daily lives together. At some point, there was no answer from my son even if I called or sent a message.




The father and son Oh Kwang-rok managed to meet again after seven years, but there was only an awkward silence between the two. Siwon Oh told the production team "I didn't get angry while blaming my dad. I had no intention of restoring the relationship. I have this wound, and I wanted to see it first and then talk about everyday things. Anger lingers because of old feelings"He explained why he decided to meet his father. For seven years, Oh Kwang-rok thought his son wanted to do music, doing things related to coffee and tea. However, the real-life son quit music and was completely different running an F&B space.

He also said "I didn't get a call because I was angry with my dad. I should have been mad at my dad...I think it was festering," he said, expressing resentment. Oh Kwang-rok said "I would rather have Si-won's secret in his heart come out to me. If I can get rid of my anger, I want you to throw it all at me and move on," he said, listening to his son's story.

Oh Si-won told a real life that was difficult after his father left. After the family was disbanded, Oh Si-won moved into her grandmother's house, but she had to eat something, saying, "If you do it wrong, you could be kicked out of this house." Since then, I have forgotten about my father's existence, and I have only encountered him in a photo album and in the movie. He confessed that `I first met my father in person at the graduation ceremony of elementary school, but it was difficult to accept his existence because it was unfamiliar and awkward.'
