Production The first script reading took place on May 22, 2018 at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Seoul, South Korea.
Let Me Introduce Her was the last drama series executive produced by Kim Yong-jin for SBS Plus before he became the vice-president and head of scripted programming of Kakao M's television production subsidiary Mega Monster the same year. (His first project with Mega Monster (as showrunner/executive producer), the mystery-thriller miniseries Children of Nobody, premiered on rival network MBC TV almost two months after Let Me Introduce Her aired its last episode.)
Plagiarism controversy In September 2018, South Korean production company DK E&M (CEO Kim Dong-gu), the company behind the dramas Blow Breeze, Working Mom Parenting Daddy and Here Comes Mr. Oh, announced an intention to file a plagiarism lawsuit against SBS, its subsidiary SBS Plus and Shinyoung E&C Group, accusing Let Me Introduce Her of "plagiarizing" the 1999 Japanese drama Beautiful Person. DK E&M has been in talks with TBS (the original network of Beautiful Person) since November 2017 to produce a Korean drama adaptation of it, and was planning to broadcast the series in 2019 but that was affected, allegedly because SBS aired Let Me Introduce Her first.
SBS has since denied the accusation, stating that "only the themes of plastic surgery and romance are similar" in the two dramas. It also plans to file a defamation suit against DK E&M for the latter's "baseless" claims.
On October 8, 2018, DK E&M sought help from the Korean Television and Radio Writers Association regarding the controversy, saying that "the attitude of SBS regarding the situation was disappointing".
