The Original Webtoon and Prequel: Shotgun Boy
Did you know that this drama series is actually based on a webtoon? The original webtoon, which shares the same name as the drama, was first serialized in Korea. It gained immense popularity on Naver Webtoon in Korea and now, you can also find an English-translated version available online. I’ve provided the link to this page below. There are quite a few differences between the drama and its original webtoon. Many characters in the original story were either changed or newly introduced in the drama, such as the main characters Seo I-kyung, Jung Eui-myung, and Nam Seong-won. The main characters' settings have also been significantly altered, offering a different kind of enjoyment in the webtoon compared to the drama. Interestingly, the original webtoon author requested that the drama’s ending differ from that of the webtoon. At the time, the drama was scheduled to air before the webtoon’s conclusion, and the author did not want the drama to reveal the webtoon’s ending prematurely. In addition to character differences, the specifics and names of the monsters also vary significantly between the two versions. Seasons 2 and 3 of the drama have no relation to the original webtoon, making them entirely new stories. So, if you’re looking for a different experience, I highly recommend checking out the webtoon. Moreover, there’s also a prequel webtoon titled "Shotgun Boy." This prequel offers its own unique and enjoyable story, which I also recommend.

However, when trying to get someone's attention urgently or expressing frustration, adding the surname and calling the full name can convey stronger emotions.

Behind-the-Scenes Stories from the Drama
The main character, Cha Hyun-Soo (played by Song Kang), had a scene in the previous season where he was covered in blood. Filming that scene was very cold, as it was around March. Additionally, when Cha Hyun-Soo transforms into a monster, he spreads black wings, which were created using CGI. During filming, he actually held a long green sponge to simulate the wings. Likewise, Pyun Sang-Wook (played by Lee Jin-Wook), who fights with Cha Hyun-Soo, acted with nothing in his hands, so he was also surprised by how the CGI looked in the final cut.
In Season 2, there’s a scene where Cha Hyun-Soo walks barefoot on ice. This scene was actually filmed with him walking barefoot. Seo Yi-Kyung (played by Lee Shi-Young), who appears on the ice with him, also had to endure filming in extremely cold conditions to ensure a safe ice surface.
Actress Go Min-Shi, who played Lee Eun-Yoo, experienced a lot of conflict with Lee Eun-Hyuk (played by Lee Do-Hyun) and Yoon Ji-Soo (played by Park Gyu-Young) in the drama. However, in reality, she cried a lot during the scenes they appeared in together.
As the season progressed, actress Lee Shi-Young particularly appreciated how the hairstyle of Cha Hyun-Soo and Seo Yi-Kyung’s daughter matched. Lee Shi-Young’s impressive physique also became a topic of discussion, and she mentioned that preparing for this role involved the most intense training she has ever done in her life. This is quite remarkable considering that Lee Shi-Young has also trained extensively as a national representative in boxing. Her comments reflect just how challenging the preparation for this drama was. Due to budget constraints, filming was repeatedly delayed, and Lee Shi-Young ended up filming scenes showing her muscular physique three months later than originally planned, maintaining her body fat at 8% for three additional months.
