Instead of picking top stars well-liked by the public such as Kim Tae-hee and Ha Ji-won, a newcomer was chosen, which shows the true intentions of director Kim Jong-hak. He wanted someone who could bring life into the character than someone who was just well-known.
After many rounds of auditions and selecting Lee Ji-ah, director Kim Jong-hak said, "she has Shim Eun-ha's beauty and Go Hyun-jung's strength. She is like the female warrior character of Soo Ji Ni, who is honest, frank, and refreshing".

"The Legend" started filming since last March, and has completed about 60% of the filming current to date. Director Kim Jong-hak, who had made national dramas such as "Eyes of the Dawn", "Sandglass", etc, has everyone's attention for this upcoming drama.
