Hyung-Sik abandoned his boy-next-door persona and became vengeful in this thriller. He's accomplished everything that we haven't witnessed him do previously.

Bogum appeared in When Life Gives You Tangerines, but it was Good Boy that made a significant impression. An Olympic boxing gold medalist, he is spontaneous, humorous, and a lover. His second term in the police department is surprising and heartfelt. Bogum has demonstrated how he can merge various genres within one project.

IU delights her fans by selecting the finest acting roles, even if it requires going back to K-dramas after many years. Following Hotel Del Luna (2019) and several film projects in between (Broken, Dream), IU opted to portray the dual roles of mother and daughter in When Life Gives You Tangerines, winning every possible acting accolade. When she weeps, the universe mourns alongside her; when she grins, the sun beams brilliantly. That's the brilliance of IU, who provides her finest every time she steps onto the screen from the stage.
