The action series follows a working mother juggling an extraordinary secret: a deadly double life. Kong Hyo Jin stars as Yu Bo Na, an ordinary sales manager by day who’s secretly the legendary sniper known as “Kingfisher” — marking her first MBC drama in 15 years.
Jung Jun Won didn’t hide his excitement about joining the project. He described the script as thrilling and genuinely fun to read, admitting that getting to work alongside a long-admired actress like Kong Hyo Jin was a major draw. Interestingly, he noted that his own personality is quieter and more introverted than his character’s, which meant putting in real effort to embody Tae Sung’s energy convincingly.
On-set chemistry, though, was never in question. Jung Jun Won praised Kong Hyo Jin’s magnetic screen presence, saying working with her felt effortless and their dynamic clicked immediately — a promising sign for their on-screen married couple. He also spoke fondly of co-star Lee Sang Yi, describing their off-screen friendship as genuine and something that naturally bled into their on-screen relationship.
