Casting

In January 2021, Park Hye-su's agency revealed that the actress auditioned for Soul Marriage. In June, it was announced that actor Joo Sang-wook was offered a role in the series.[16][17]

The female lead role was first confirmed to be played by Park Hye-eun. However, in July 2021, she decided to leave the series after a mutual agreement with the production team. It was stated that although Park is a rookie actress, she prepared hard for the series, but felt a lot of pressure about playing the main character of a big project.[18][19] The role was then offered to actress Jung So-min. Jung and director Park Joon-hwa previously worked together in 2017 series Because This Is My First Life.[20]

Line-up for the lead stars consisting of Lee Jae-wook, Jung So-min, Hwang Min-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, Yoo Jun-sang, Oh Na-ra and Jo Jae-yoon was officially announced by tvN on March 3, 2022.[21] On March 21, Yoo In-soo, Arin, Park Eun-hye, Lee Do-kyung and Lim Cheol-soo were announced to have joined the cast.[3][13]

Filming

In August 2021, production companies Studio Dragon and High Quality signed an agreement with Mungyeong City to build a filming site in Maseong-myeon worth ₩5 billion for the production of Soul Marriage.[4]

On October 6, 2021, it was announced that filming of the series was canceled for that week after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19 on the morning of the 5th. All production crew members subsequently underwent PCR test. Some staff members who were classified as close contacts went into self-quarantine, even though they tested negative for the contagion.[8][22]
