Meanwhile, Kim Da Mi will lead the drama as Go Dal Boon, a divorced mother who unexpectedly enters a suspicious line of work while trying to reunite with her young daughter. Along the way, she discovers a surprising talent.
Jo Aram joins the cast as Miss Gye, another member of the team, while Kim Jae Wook will make a special appearance as Chief Cha. Nam Yoon Su will portray Jung Jung Won, an enthusiastic young detective.
Gracefully Killing You is directed by Lee Jung Heum and written by Joo Hwa Mi, with Kang Eun Kyung serving as creator.
