Realistic characters

In the group poster, Detective Kang Dong Woo (Jo Woo Jin) and Prosecutor Min Seo Jin (Ha Yun Kyung) represent the “day” side of the city. As they investigate a complex case, they inject tension into the story.

Kang Dong Woo, driven by a sense of justice, and Min Seo Jin, seeking career advancement, present realistic characters with distinct motives, drawing viewers deeper into the narrative.

On the flip side, Yoon Gil Ho (Ji Chang Wook), a mysterious broker with a scarred face, and Jae Hee (BIBI), the key figure in the case, embody the “night” side of the city.

Their presence in the neon-lit underworld of Gangnam emphasizes the story’s darker elements. The phrase “The world they play in beneath the world we live in” alludes to the deep drama and mystery behind Gangnam’s glitzy exterior.

Jo Woo Jin plays Detective Kang Dong Woo with his characteristic ferocity, and Ji Chang Wook transforms fearlessly into Gangnam outlaw Yoon Gil Ho. Ha Yun Kyung adds depth to her role as an ambitious prosecutor, while BIBI’s portrayal of Jae Hee promises to stand out, hinting at a pivotal role in the series.
