From casting to the original web-toon, producer Woo Min-ho had an unusual confidence about him. He said, "This movie is of the actors, by the actors for the actors".

"Inside Men" is written by "Moss" and "Misaeng" writer Yoon Tae-ho. The serial publishing of the original was stopped in less three months but Woo Min-ho completed it through this chance.

"Inside Men" is a criminal drama about the loyalty and betrayal of insiders who move the society. Through the politics of the Korean society, finance media and investigative departments, we look into the source of the corruption and irregularities of our society. One thing that the movie has unlike the web-toon is the character Woo Jang-hoon.

'The Fact' will help the understandings of the audience by looking into the characters of Ahn Sang-goo (Lee Byung-hun), Woo Jang-hoon (Cho Seung-woo) and Lee Kang-hee (Baek Yoon-sik).

- The turning point of Lee Byung-hun's 25 year acting career; a gangster named Ahn Sang-goo

Lee Byung-hun usually played the gentle and king roles. The role he plays in "Inside Men" is something new.

Ahn Sang-goo, is a 'fox-like bear' political gangster. He was once a puppet to plutocrats and politicians along with his shadow of power Lee Kang-hee (Baek Yoon-sik). However, he loses everything in the end.

Lee Byung-hun's role of Ahn Sang-goo shows the various turns of one man's life from being a gangster to an entertainment company director and even a failure. Lee Byung-hun also uses the Jeolla district dialect which is a comical thing to watch.

- Cho Seung-woo is back as Woo Jang-hoon

From a gambler from "Tazza: The High Rollers" to a fighter for national independence in "Assassination", actor Cho Seung-woo plays Woo Jang-hoon.

This character didn't exist in the original web-toon but producer Woo Min-ho created him with Cho Seung-woo in mind. Cho Seung-woo was hesitant because the character was a non-existing one but he trusted the producer and decided to go along with it.

Woo Jeong-eun is always the best when it comes to performance but he became an investigator because he didn't want things in the way of his success for the reason that he didn't go to police academy. He gets the opportunity to shoot down a case of a secret fund with the elections coming up but he fails due to an unexpected incident. Ahn Sang-goo appears to his aid.

Lee Byung-hun said, "Cho Seung-woo was so good at acting that I was nervous and he's younger than me, but I still have a lot to learn".

- Baek Yoon-hee, editorial member Lee kang-hee

Baek Yoon-sik can be seen in movies and dramas. This time he is Lee Kang-hee, current editorial member and former political journalist.

Lee Kang-hee was once close with Ahn Sang-goo but when he finds out Ahn Sang-goo has a weakness of his, he stamps all over him. Ahn Sang-goo determines revenge and he knows it but he uses his network and media to side with power.

Lee Kang-hee in the original web-toon is weak and indecisive but Baek Yoon-sik added charisma to it.
