This happened during filming.
Park So-dam and Seo In-guk They appeared in the same drama Death Gametogether. Seo In-guk plays Choi Yi-jae, a man who commits suicide after facing repeated failures. He meets the Grim Reaper, played by Park So-dam, who must experience death 12 more times or face his fate of being sent to hell.
This is Park So-dam's first work since her battle with cancer. She underwent surgery for thyroid cancer and spent 2022 recovering. In 2023, she decided to take on this challenge despite her voice still recovering. Park So-dam once confessed in an interview with Cho Hyun-ah that she faced major problems during filming.
My number one priority was not to cause any trouble to the director, staff, and co-stars who cast me. But it was often physically tough to endure. I started the show thinking I would be okay, but it was really painful to see myself not being able to endure it. I cried a lot, thinking, “Am I really okay?” But I'm okay now.

During a recent interview show, Park So-dam talked about the touching words Seo In-guk spoke to her during filming. As she was worried about the impact she was having on the staff, Seo In-guk suggested a way to lighten her load.

Oppa He was very considerate of me. When I met him earlier this year, my condition was much worse than it is now. I was very worried that I would suddenly become distressed. When that happened, he said, “You can take a break anytime! Just say you need to go to the bathroom.” He said that to buy me time. For example, he said that if it was difficult for me to say that I needed five minutes, he would say it for me.
