## Meet the Odd-Couple Duo

Cha Seung Won plays **Kim Chul Soo**, a former NIS black agent who now lives as an ordinary family man running a local car wash — though his passion for being an agent never truly faded. Imagine a man built for high-stakes missions, now arguing with customers over car wax. The comedic potential is enormous.

Kim Do Hoon takes on **Go Yo Han**, a top “super ace” who, despite drawing attention for his outstanding performance, finds himself demoted to the basement-level Retired Agents Management Team — growing restless as opportunities to return to the field rarely come.
