"As soon as I read the script, I thought that I was no different. It felt good to be able to project myself as it is now. The point is that it is a 'behavior before, a feeling after', but it is also similar in terms of food cravings." Regarding Park Hyung-sik, who first worked with him, he said, “Park Hyung-sik has good energy to light up the surroundings. When he comes to the scene, the surroundings naturally light up.”

While Park Hyung Sik, who made his first comeback after being discharged from the military plays the role of detective Jeong Yi-Hyun, a clever and honest detective. Talking about the work the actor said,

"It was attractive to express the character in a simple and clear way, with a deep emotional line and a cool unfolding of the story. In the action scenes, we tried to capture the survival-type action that a detective would actually use when faced with an extreme situation.” Regarding her partner, Han Hyo-joo, she said, "She is a very affectionate older sister, and at some point she becomes playful and free-spirited. Even though it was a physically demanding filming, I was able to endure it thanks to you.”
