Oh Jung-se / Role of Eu-heung
The power of Jo Yong's writing was the biggest factor for me. I felt like it was cut out of a comic book at first but towards the end, the story was rooted in reality.

As the main leads, actress Lee You-mi, the first Korean to win an Emmy award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series teams up with actor Woo Do-hwan, praised for his performance in the action packed series 'Bloodhounds.'

Woo Do-hwan / Role of Hae-jo
Microorganisms such as planktons also have value. All living things do. There's a reason for birth. This is the message of the drama.

Lee You-mi / Role of Jae-mi
Jae-mi wants to create her own family, I think the notion of family is important to her.
