The actress said she chose to star in the drama because of its unique theme. The Girls' Generation member said she was attracted to the intense charm of detective Ahn Seo Yun. Since action was one of her all-time favorites, it was another reason to choose this project.

"The theme of Parole Examiner Lee felt new and intriguing. I was especially drawn to the intense charm of Detective Ahn Seo Yun, and since the action is a genre I've always been interested in, I decided to take on the role. Watching Ahn Seo Yun's bravery and sense of justice, I felt I wanted to be like her. Filming this role has influenced me in many positive ways," Yuri shared.

Meanwhile, the cast member revealed she gained nearly 15 pounds (seven kilograms) for this role. It was necessary to improve her physical endurance since she had to perform all the action scenes during winter. The actress requested her fans watch the mini-series and see how the story unfolds.
