Reflecting on the filming period, Yoshida who was presented with messages and flowers from the staff and cast members, said that this is the first time where she is feeling so sad about the end of filming. The feeling of her being the lead still hasn't sunk in even though the filming has been completed. Nonetheless, she was very grateful for the chance to be regarded as an actress good enough to take on this role and had come this far with the her help of the cast and staff who helped to make the atmosphere on set very comfortable for her.

Yoshida also said that this time, she feels that the boundary between her true self and Ishikawa Yuri has become so blurred because she has blended into the role so much. She doesn't know if she will come across a character like this in future so she greatly treasures the experience this time.
