Bae Doo-na / Role of Han Young-soo
She's not heroic but has the average next door neighbor feel. All characters have flaws.

Actor Ryoo Seung-bum, following a long hiatus from acting, plays her opposite in his first ever father role.

Ryoo Seung-bum / Role of Baek Cheol-hee
The retaliation is action-driven but the heart is rooted in love and protection of family. That's the starting point.
