The Great Flood is produced under the banner of Hwansang Studios. It is a world premiere at the 30th Busan International Film Festival in the section of Korean Cinema Today. Kim Tae-soo is the cinematographer, while Chun-Kyoung Kim is the executive producer.

Director Kim Byung-woo spoke about the film in a press conference and said:

"It's a genre film. Disaster and science fiction, woven together. Both genres have their own pleasures, and I hope viewers get the full range. [It's] something wondrous and lovely."

In the same press conference, Kim Da-mi also spoke about her role:

"It was the hardest part of saying yes. I kept asking myself, can I actually feel this? I'm not a mother. Do I have any right to portray it? Eun-seong just made me believe it. He carried things I couldn't articulate."

She added:

"Motherhood feels too enormous to capture. I just kept coming back to this idea: loving someone more than yourself. That's what I held onto."

The film is available on Netflix.
