On August 2, 2022, director Lee Joo-young accused Coupang Play for making major edits to the series without her consent.[23] Though the final version of the series submitted by Lee was consisted of 8 episodes (45–61 minutes per episode), the series which premiered on July 24 consisted of 6 episodes (45–63 minutes per episode). Lee had requested to remove her name in the credits for director and screenplay, but that was ignored.[24]
In a statement a day later, Coupang Play explained that they found that the director's editing was significantly different from what was initially agreed with them but when they requested multiple times to edit according to what was agreed, director refused it. Hence Coupang Play edited the work to match the original production intent, with the consent of the producer and in accordance with the rights stipulated in the contract.[25] However, director Lee's side stated that she neither received request for corrections nor has she refused to do so. Further more, both Lee and editor Kim Jung-hoon claimed that they never received any opinions regarding editing from Coupang Play.[26]
Previously on July 8, Coupang Play had announced to release a extended version of the series in August.[27] Amidst the controversy, it was revealed to be the director’s cut which consists of 8 episodes.[26] It was released on August 12.[28]
