After the shooting, Sakaguchi watched over Shirayama, who took on the challenge of the difficult scene from the very first day, and said, "It was the beginning of the drama and the surgery scene, which is a very important scene in the whole story, but the director and all the staff worked very carefully and carefully to create the scene. The surgery scene in the small cockpit was a tough one, but I think that my determination to tackle such a fluid situation is similar to the position of a teacher in the drama.

　As for Shirayama, who was making her first appearance in a TV drama, she commented, "She looked very confident and confident.
