Fun Facts
- Filming took place in Xiamen, China.
- It is a Huace Film & TV production.
- The story is loosely inspired by the hit Korean drama You From Another Star but instead of an alien is a mutant and instead of an A-list actress is a second-rate actress.
- Shui Qian Mo who wrote the source novel also wrote the screenplay in collaboration with Wang Xiong Cheng. The novel was published in October 2015 and tells a love story between an actress so riddled with bad luck that she had seven relationships that were so short that she never had her first kiss and her five-hundred year old, amnesiac and black-bellied boyfriend.
- Shui Qian Mo never finished high school and yet she gained success as a novelist at a young age with many popular works under her name.
- It marks the acting debut for Korean model Kim Tae Hwan. He tried his best to use Chinese to communicate with his co-stars and had a lot of help from Janice Wu who became his quasi language teacher on set.
- It racked up over 10 million views after the first day of its premiere which is quite good for your average web drama with no big names.
- There is a season two starring Mike D'Angelo and Esther Yu.
