Directed by the acclaimed Kim Chul Gyu, known for his previous works such as Chicago Typewriter, Flower of Evil, and Celebrity, the series boasts a star-studded cast including Park Min Young, Wi Ha Joon, and Kim Jung Hyun.

However, she ultimately embraced the challenge, trusting the director and her co-stars.
Park Min Young's portrayal of Han Seol Ah, the chief auctioneer at Royal Auction, a country's largest art auction house, involves a chilling secret. Every man who has loved Han Seol Ah has met a horrific death, adding a layer of complexity to her character. To embody Han Seol Ah's loneliness and professional demeanor, Park Min Young adopted a strict diet, consuming only water and alcohol, resulting in a significant weight loss of 37 kg for her previous role.
