Ji Chang-wook, best known for his roles in “Healer,” “The K2” and Netflix’s “Backstreet Rookie” and “Lovestruck in The City,” will star as officer Kang Joon-mo. He will be joined by Lim Se-mi, best known for her supporting role in the hit webtoon K-drama adaptation “True Beauty,” who will play narcotics officer Yoo Eui-jung. Wi Ha-joon will play the villain Jung Ki-cheol, the leader of a criminal organization.
