The drama sparked many trends and parodies with entertainers mimicking Parks’ famous line “Let’s go, baby!” and "Why can't you say it? Why can't you say that this is my man, that this is the man I love?” in variety shows.{{Cite web|url=http://kajomag.com/5-best-award-winning-dramas-kim-eun-sook-binge-watch/|title=5 best award-winning dramas by Kim Eun Sook to binge watch • KajoMag|date=7 March 2018|access-date=18 August 2018|archive-date=18 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180818115138/http://kajomag.com/5-best-award-winning-dramas-kim-eun-sook-binge-watch/|url-status=live}}

However, the producers later reneged on the deal, alleging that Park tried to capitalize on the drama's high popularity by asking for too much money. Park took legal action, and in November 2009, he won the lawsuit.{{cite web|last=Park|first=Si-soo|title=Actor Park Shin-yang Wins Legal Battle|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/05/115_44598.html|website=The Korea Times|access-date=2013-08-14|date=8 May 2009|archive-date=2018-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203014311/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/05/115_44598.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Actor Wins Legal Battle Over Unpaid Guarantees|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/01/113_54747.html|work=The Korea Times|access-date=2013-08-14|date=2 November 2009|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001755/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/01/113_54747.html|url-status=live}} Consequently, the Corea Drama Production Association (CODA) banned Park from appearing in any dramas produced by members of the association for an indefinite period.{{cite web|last=Han|first=Sang-hee|title=Park Banned From Major Production Companies Works|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/special/2008/12/178_35986.html|work=The Korea Times|access-date=2013-08-14|date=11 December 2008|archive-date=2014-08-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808060719/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/special/2008/12/178_35986.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Seon-min|title=Should TV Actors Be Paid Exorbitant Fees?|url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2008/12/12/2008121261026.html|work=The Chosun Ilbo|access-date=2013-08-14|date=12 December 2008|archive-date=2018-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203064150/http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2008/12/12/2008121261026.html|url-status=live}}
