Before Autumn in My Heart, the name of the domestic television drama imported into Korea was The Lover's Lie. It was a typical youth idol drama whose leading actors were new mainland artists trained by a Korean entertainment company, and both its producer and production team were major players in the domestic industry.
At the time, The Lover's Lie achieved an average viewership rating of 1.85% domestically, making it a hit series. Its lead actor and actress became overnight sensations, and its introduction to Korea was heavily hyped as a work that would counter the Korean Wave.
The producer back then was full of ambition, even shouting slogans about revitalizing domestic dramas and reversing the cultural flow to Japan and Korea. This got a multitude of fans' blood boiling with great anticipation for how this idol drama would perform in Korea.
