The series is a project jointly produced by teams from South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong.
Lee Joon Gi stars as Han Ki Joo, a retired genius doctor from Seoul. His life is turned upside down when his daughter, who is of primary-school age and visually impaired, is kidnapped. Drawn into a massive conspiracy, Han Ki Joo is forced to make a series of extreme choices as he desperately tries to save her.
Japanese star Sakaguchi Kentaro plays Nīide Toshiro, an elite Tokyo detective willing to risk anything to catch the culprit. He is expected to go head-to-head with Lee Joon Gi.
Meanwhile, Alice Ko, known for the drama “Someday or One Day,” takes on the role of Christina, a housewife and influencer who finds herself at the centre of the case after her husband is kidnapped.
