Production and release
So I Married the Anti-fan is a pre-produced series. The first script reading of the cast was held on August 20, 2018, and filming began the same month.
The release of the series was delayed for three years due to difficulties in finding a television network to broadcast it. Adding to that, the two male leads, Choi Tae-joon and Hwang Chan-sung, started their military service not long after it had finished filming, so there were potential difficulties in promotional activities without them.
