In the drama, Lee Jung-jae takes on the role of ‘Ki-hoon’, an always optimistic person. He explained his role, “(Ki-hoon) is optimistic but has a lot of troubles. I live with my sick mother and participate in a game with a prize money. I get to know the people I met at the game room and play games together,” he explained.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, “(Lee Jung-jae) always comes out so cool. I had a bad feeling that I wanted to ruin it. Even when he’s doing great acting, he has a humanity, so I wanted to show it a little bit, so I did it with Lee Jung-jae.”
Park Hae-soo played the role of ‘Sang-woo’, who fell into the abyss in an instant while running on the road to success.
