Production

Development

The series is based on a screenplay which was one of the winners of the 2016 2H MBC Drama Screenplay Competition (miniseries category), alongside the 2019–20 SBS television series Hot Stove League.[10]

Early working title of the series is Miscasting (Korean: 미스캐스팅; RR: Miseukaeseuting). Director Choi Young-hoon first wanted to name the series that way because the characters are miscasted for the operation, but he changed it to Good Casting as all three actresses showed good team work.[11]

Filming

The series is entirely pre-produced. Filming ended on February 7, 2020.[12][13]
