#Movie→Series, an expanded worldview with even stronger real survival action! Stunning action satisfaction
The fact that the legendary action webtoon-based Tving's first original movie has been revived as a six-part series after four years heightens expectations. Cha Woosol, who had to fight to survive, overcomes fear and limitations, growing to face a new 'evil' desperately to protect his loved ones. The expanded scale promises even stronger real survival action, thrilling impact, and catharsis. Particularly, the variety of action displayed on a broader stage beyond prison and the evolution of characters further enhance the genre's thrill. Above all, the evolved action of Cha Woosol, who is no longer a weak boy, is the top watching point. Director Kim Gun noted the difference, saying this is a growth story of a character growing roughly in a massive storm, stating, 'Whereas was a story of Cha Woosol physically growing, is a story of inner conflict and growth before overwhelming power.' He further stated, 'What do you do when the 'fight' learned to survive ultimately hurts someone? We focused on that emotional change. It's not just about fighting to win, but rather about fighting to protect, and that shift in the weight of action is the key.' Kim Min-seok also expressed excitement for the evolved character of Cha Woosol, saying, 'The Cha Woosol of , who broke out of the egg wanting an ordinary life, arrives in with the drive of 'dream' wanting to become something. Expect a lot of stories in the action of Cha Woosol, who fights to protect his dreams and those around him while not losing his innocence.'

The intensified showdown between Cha Woosol and the monster villain Hyun Woo-yong is another highlight. The action synergy between Kim Min-seok and Lee Hyun-wook, who completed the face-off between the unstoppable 'shark' Cha Woosol and the 'storm' Hyun Woo-yong, is certainly a reason for anticipation.

Attention is also focused on Lee Hyun-wook, who is set to reign as a new 'evil.' Having made a striking presence with just a special appearance in , Lee Hyun-wook fully embodies the maddened villain 'Hyun Woo-yong.' Hyun Woo-yong, a cruel villain hidden behind the title of the fighting association president, enjoys the pleasure of others' pain. Having gained authority through numerous battles on a blood-soaked fighting ground, he initiates another game against Cha Woosol. 'For Cha Woosol to grow once more, he needed a bigger and stronger villain to match him. The 'charm of evil' that Hyun Woo-yong will show this season will be more than just a villain,' Director Kim Gun confidently stated, adding, 'The action combination between Kim Min-seok and Lee Hyun-wook was so precise it needed no words, and the emotionally charged scenes were so perfect they were impressive. The trust between them was infused throughout the work,' stimulating anticipation further.
