Koo Kyo Hwan
Lauded for his role in film Jane, Koo Kyo Hwan suits up as Han Ho-yeol, the corporal leading the desertion arrest unit. Although he appears to be unambitious and free-spirited, he mentors Jun-ho with important details to aid their investigation. At times, his temperament flares up. A display of great teamwork between him and Jung Hae In is also guaranteed.
Kim Sung Kyun
Well-recognized character actor Kim Sung Kyun plays the role of experienced and capable D.P. Unit Chief Park Beom-gu. Constantly nagging the already worn out Jun-ho and Ho-yeol, his true heart always look out for both of them.
