In this context, Lee Kwangsoo plays Park director, a man who chases desire.
Park director is a character who relentlessly pursues Heeju to recover the missing gold bullion. He is described as a runaway locomotive driven by desire that does not stop. The more heated the situation becomes, the rougher and more vicious he gets. As a result, his desire racing toward the gold bullion ultimately devours everything. Ultimately, he becomes a runaway character who has shed his humanity, creating a suffocating tension between the fugitive and the pursuer. Accordingly, Lee Kwangsoo is expected to play a key figure who shakes up the drama.

Lee Kwangsoo discussed directly with director Kim Seong-hoon to complete the character's details and made Park director more three-dimensional. Accordingly, Lee Kwangsoo said, "I was made up so much that I could hardly be recognized. As the latter part progresses, I experience many incidents and accidents, and I wanted to express the character's grand ambition and greed through his outward appearance," revealing the effort he devoted to completing the character. He added, "Reading a solid story and a script of twist after twist made me want to participate unconditionally because it was so thrilling," showing his affection for the work.
Regarding this, director Kim Seong-hoon said, "I wanted to show Lee Kwangsoo as he is. At the moment he is drawn by desire, he shows the unstoppable figure of a runaway locomotive," raising expectations for the character.
