First, Yeon Je-hyung will play the role of Kim Seok-jin, the eldest son of Dae-sik. Seok-jin is portrayed as a character who has become a beast in pursuit of success, resembling a herbivore, who speaks little and is a principled realist. His wish to make his struggling parents happy leads him to develop a peculiar feeling for Seo Woo, whom he meets by chance on the day he returns from studying abroad.
Lee So-won will portray Han Seo-woo, the second daughter of Mu-cheol and Mi-ja. A person who feels the need to say what she wants to say and to have what she desires, Seo-woo, contrary to her nickname "Han Sa-nova," has never had a serious romantic relationship. When the old-fashioned tenant Seok-jin shows indifference towards her, Seo-woo experiences heartache alone and ends up causing a major incident.
Kim Hyun-ji appears as Kim Ah-jin, the youngest daughter of Dae-sik and Hye-sook. Ah-jin shares her father's frugality and tenacity, resembling him closely. Known as the "modern-day Jang-geum" for her exceptional taste and cooking skills, Ah-jin dreams of opening a small shop while working at a local Korean restaurant. After getting involved in an unfortunate incident with Tae-ha, she finds herself entangled with him again, as he becomes her subordinate.
Park Ji-sang plays Han Tae-ha, a highly qualified job seeker aiming for a big break. He considers the life of an office worker, stuck at a desk, to be inefficient. Having built wealth through stock investments, he dreams of becoming a wealthy tycoon who surpasses his father. However, facing an unexpected crisis, he realizes the value of money earned through hard work as he interacts with Ah-jin, an employee at a restaurant run by his senior.
Gong Yeo-ji is cast as Kim Mi-jin, the eldest daughter of Dae-sik and Hye-sook. Mi-jin, due to her family's financial struggles, has given up her dream of being a designer and married early, living as a water cooler coordinator. While struggling to support her husband, children, and demanding mother-in-law who desires a son, she discovers a shocking truth while trying to raise the deposit for her parents' fried chicken restaurant.
Ahn Jun-seo plays Choi Min-yong, the only son of Choi Kyu-tae. Having lost his mother at an early age, Min-yong grew up under the abundant love of his father Kyu-tae. However, he suddenly faces a situation where he needs surgery due to a heart condition.
The child cast of "The Three Musketeers"—Son Chang-min, Sun Woo Jae-deok, and Park Sang-myeon—includes Yeon Je-hyung, Lee So-won, Kim Hyun-ji, Park Ji-sang, Gong Yeo-ji, and Ahn Jun-seo, intertwining the lives of the children of the landlord and the tenants, thus enhancing the drama's intrigue. Additionally, the love lines among the children in a moment of reversed fate will become another highlight of "Catch the Big Luck."
