Kim Eun Hee's unique plots and ability to infuse deep emotions and thought-provoking messages into the story make the premiere of Revenant highly anticipated.

Whereas, actress Kim Tae-ri expressed her excitement about the project saying, "Folklore was a treasure trove of interesting stories". She also emphasized the importance of shedding light on this disappearing field. Revenant is her third drama after Mr. Sunshine and Twenty-Five Twenty-One.
