It is also noteworthy that Kim Jae-won is showcasing a character with a completely different atmosphere in this project, following his previous role as a host bar player in 'Lady Dua'. He is being evaluated as gradually broadening his scope as an actor by consecutively portraying characters with different images and styles.
