The writer for the drama will be Park Eun Kyo, who wrote for 2009 movie Mother. In addition, it has been reported that Bae Doo Na will also join the lineup for the cast.

Gong Yoo would play the role of Yunjae, a soldier from the space agency and his team’s leader. Yunjae is a brilliant leader who has an outstanding work ethic and is full of charisma.

In response, Gong Yoo’s agency, Management SOOP, released their statement regarding Gong Yoo’s participation.
