The film brings together some of the biggest names in Korean cinema. Sul Kyung-gu, already seen in Memoir of a Murderer and Oasis, plays one of the protagonists. Alongside him, Jang Dong-gun, best known for Friend and The Warrior's Way, brings his international reputation to bear. Actress Hee-ae Kim, famous for her roles in TV dramas and auteur films, completes the cast. Director Jin-Ho Hur, associated with such works as A Good Lawyer's Wife, once again turns his attention to intimate dilemmas and social fractures.
