In October 2018, reports revealed the unpaid wages issue of actors and some staff members. The series' production company Golden Thumb Pictures commented on an official statement that all payments would be settled by the end of November.{{cite news|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&aid=0000913343|script-title=ko:[공식입장] '마성의 기쁨' 제작사 측 "임금 일부 미지급, 11월 중 해결할 것"|website=Naver|publisher=Xports News|accessdate=January 2, 2019|language=ko}} However, in December, it was reported that not all of the cast members had been paid yet, including lead actresses Song Ha-yoon and Lee Joo-yeon. Golden Thumb Pictures then promised to pay everyone by December 31.{{cite news|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=241&aid=0002866354|script-title=ko:[단독]'마성의 기쁨' 여배우들 1원도 못 받아 "손해 심각"|website=Naver|publisher=Ilgan Sports|accessdate=January 2, 2019|language=ko}}{{cite news|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=108&aid=0002751146|script-title=ko:'마성의 기쁨', 송하윤·이주연 등 배우 출연료 미지급|website=Naver|publisher=Star News|accessdate=January 2, 2019|language=ko}}
On January 2, 2019, actress Song Ha-yoon's agency JYP Entertainment shared their plans on taking all possible legal action including civil and criminal lawsuits against the parties affiliated with the unpaid wages for Devilish Charm, as they had yet to receive their full payments. Broadcasting company iHQ remarked that the issue had to be settled by Golden Thumb Pictures as the wages were contracted between them and the actors.{{cite news|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=076&aid=0003363647|title=[단독]JYP "법적대응 불사"..송하윤·이주연 '마성의 기쁨' 출연료 미지급 사태 해 넘겼다|website=Naver|publisher=Sports Chosun|accessdate=January 2, 2019|language=ko}}{{cite news|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=382&aid=0000699336|script-title=ko:송하윤 측 “한푼도 못받아”…‘마성의기쁨’ 상대로 법적대응 [공식입장]|website=Naver|publisher=Sports Dong-a|accessdate=January 2, 2019|language=ko}}
