The series stars Yi En and Alex Ye, who portray a central couple, alongside a cast including Chen Chun-hsi, Liu Hao-wen, William Chang Chao-wei, and Liu Yu-han, who form the fictional boy group "rayZ."

Yi En revealed he had a severe cold leading up to the final days, his allergies causing a constant runny nose. This condition led to several interruptions during kissing scenes with Alex, as he struggled to control his nasal discharge, humorously dubbing himself the "Nose-snot Prince."

I felt very sorry seeing Teacher's nose keep running, so I couldn't help but reach out and wipe it for him.

This act of care solidified their on-screen chemistry, leading the cast and crew to affectionately nickname them "Sticky TT CP." Their genuine interactions even prompted director Huang Yun-hsin to playfully tease Yi En about becoming a "King of Comedy."

Don't talk about this (nose-snot)!
