The ₩10 billion-budget action romance series is based on the 1999 comic book of the same title by manhwa writer Park Bong-seong.
But Hwang Woo-hyun, a high-ranking official at the Korean Central Intelligence Agency and heir to the Hwanglim Group empire, becomes enraged with jealousy that Choi Kang-ta stole Bo-bae away from him and decides to have him eliminated.

Lead actor Song Il-gook had participated in a 220-kilometer patriotic relay swim to the Liancourt Rocks on August 15 to commemorate South Korea's Liberation Day, which marks the end of Japan's colonial rule in 1945.
