He emphasized that the switch from OCN to tvN allowed for a more engaging and exciting series.

Song Seung-heon mentioned that while his character's motivation in the first season was driven by revenge for his father's unjust death, the second season will see the characters united by a different purpose. Lee Si-eon, who plays expert hacker Im Byeong-min, indicated that there are plans for up to five seasons, aiming to create a lasting impact similar to the crime film series "The Roundup."
