Lead actor Ice Panuwatch shared insights into his character: 'Ice plays Taiga, a Japanese designer who is quiet and composed. Being a yakuza's son gives him an artistic side—appearing serene yet fighting for survival with secrets harbored within. This role is quite challenging because I must remain still yet look godlike, captivating to viewers. I'm showcasing the designer aspect through the detailed clothing worn throughout the series. This drama has everything—everyone hides something, each character has dynamic development and clear stories. It promises to be thrilling and intense.'

Leading actress Yam Matira discussed her character: 'Yam plays Rin, an ordinary bright girl whose life changes after her father's murder. Following such a tragedy, she transforms completely, training hard to avenge her father's death. In this series, Yam does lots of action—all kinds of fight scenes. I practice taekwondo daily, kicking heavy sandbags that are so hard my hands hurt; I almost cried. I'm promoting this drama too—it's quite unconventional and fresh for Pao Ching Chong. You'll see everyone in new character types that feel very real. It promises to be fun, explosive action, and plenty of romance scenes.'
