These detail-oriented graphics have viewers convinced that the fact Mystic Pop-Up Bar production has been completed prior to its premiere played a huge role in the quality of the series overall. 

Mystic Pop-Up Bar began shooting in September 2019 and completed the production before the premiere date in May 2020.

… viewers may not be wrong to say, “pre-production is the solution to quality control.”
