According to the director’s lawyer, the director was not happy with the changes the streaming platform made to the drama.

Anna was supposed to be an eight-episode drama with a run time of 45-61 minutes per episode. Coupang Play decided to make changes without the input of the director and presented a six-episode drama. Not only were there changes made to the length of the drama, but its prose, filming, editing, and narrative all were damaged by Coupang Play.

The representatives then stated that the director had actually asked that her name be removed from the credits section of the drama and even threatened legal action.
