Although their sharp gazes are directed to the same place, the inscrutable looks of Jae (played by Yoo Ji-tae), Cha Ki-tae (played by Lee Beom-soo), and Han Soo-hyun (played by Lee Min-jung), who each designed games of deception and betrayal, foreshadow a clash of conflicting desires. The phrase "the 'super' crimes of the worst guys begin" further raises expectations for a dangerous war entangled with cooperation and betrayal.

He is the person who devised the "casino dealer counterfeit bill incident" that turned the world upside down and laid out the board of desire. Lee Beom-soo gives a passionate performance as Cha Ki-tae, former head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) financial crime task force. He, who had lost everything after being involved in the past "casino counterfeit bill incident," begins a relentless pursuit to catch the counterfeit bills that have reappeared and the elusive architect Jae. Attention is also focused on Lee Min-jung's powerful transformation as Han Soo-hyun, the top banknote design artist. After the incident that upended her life, she, who had been waiting only for the moment of retribution, jumps into the violent whirlwind to overturn the board.
The production team of said, "The clash of villains chasing the ultra-precision counterfeit bill 'supernote' with their own purposes and desires, and the brain games of deception and betrayal, unfold interestingly," adding, "You can look forward to the charms of the characters completed by reliable actors and the heightened genre thrills."
