The producers of the musical claimed that producers of the drama have plagiarized their musical which they have prepared for 7 years and copied their design and trademark. Also, they claimed that drama had plagiarized timing of events, spacial enviornment, theme, and relationship between characters.

They claim that final version of their musical script was written in 2005 and somebody had stole the script. Currently, they are in preparations for the final production of the musical.
