Action fans and drama lovers, So Ji-sub is about to melt your heart in the most unexpected way.

In the story, So Ji-sub portrays Agent Kim, a legendary operative who walked away from the dangerous world of espionage to live quietly as a single father. However, when a major threat emerges, he must return to action while trying to hide his secret identity from his curious and energetic daughter, played by child actress Seo Su-min. The contrast between deadly agent skills and doting dad moments already looks incredibly charming.
