- This also marks Thomas Ong who returns after The Illusionist and Secrets for Sale.
- 我是你的天空 by Ocean Ou is Taste of Love's theme song, reused as Fuyuan also sung this song.
5.30pm encore
editThis drama would be encored at 5.30pm despite a few episodes having violence, similar to The Family Court and The Score. It was planned for an Unriddle 2 quick encore, which has similar violent scenes, the next weekday after the finale, but however Be Happy would be encored instead.
