It is a new project carefully planned by director Na Hong Jin, who has previously received attention by introducing an overwhelming masterpiece, considering the global market.
Director Na Hong Jin said, “It is often found throughout society that someone’s good will eventually leads to a catastrophe through differences in positions.
