It feels great to work in such a joyful atmosphere, and I hope we can continue together for many more episodes, creating more beautiful moments,' she shared.

We might have our fights and disagreements, but you miss those moments when you look back. It's like in a family -- you might be upset about something, but the next day you feel sorry and realize it shouldn't have happened. It's exactly like that on set.'
