The 12-episode production will be a collaboration between BH Entertainment and Contents Ziu and will exclusively air on Netflix. Broadcast dates are yet to be announced.
This will be Lee Hyun Woo's first drama project since his military discharge in 2019. He last starred in the 2017 drama "The Liar and His Lover" with Red Velvet's Joy and Lee Seo Won. He was also part of the dramas "Moorim School," "To The Beautiful You," "Master of Study," "Queen Seon Duk," and more.
