He added, "Among the production team, a strange intimacy formed along with a terror-tinged conviction that 'these people are the real deal,' and because we experienced their skills firsthand, we were able to capture that chilling reality on camera," conveying vivid behind-the-scenes details related to casting.
Producer Yoo Soo-yeon also said, "Selecting 49 trustworthy destiny diviners in an era of 1 million fortune tellers and diviners in Korea was by no means easy," and added, "We prioritized casting people who are not merely those who read others' fates but people with the 'humanity' who ponder others' lives alongside them," emphasizing efforts to find cast members with sincerity. Writer Mo Eun-seol said, "Accuracy that would make even ghosts cry is basic, and only monsters equipped with 'logical eloquence' were picked!" and added, "It was essential to have the 'logic' to persuade viewers why such results came out and the 'mental' resilience to remain unshaken even when results did not match," noting that viewers' curiosity is growing about the possessed performances the 49 strictly selected destiny diviners will deliver.
