Along with the release of the movie, the original series "Shadow Detective" of OTT (online video service) Disney+ will be released on the same day. He plays a 30-year veteran detective who became a murderer who kills a colleague in the drama, and joins forces with Jin Goo, the new investigation chief, to catch an unidentified threat. This character is contrary to Jin Goo, who pursues criminals sharply and rationally by chasing the blackmailer with a desperate and fierce manner.

Regarding working with Lee Sung-min, Jin Goo said, "It was like watching a table tennis game", adding, "When the opposing actor ad-libbed, I am usually embarrassed, but when I ad-libbed with Lee Sung-min, it was fun". Lee Sung-min also said, "He is a mature and reliable actor".

He sets up a fierce confrontation with Song Joong-ki, who tries to devour the group after living like a slave as the group's assistant.

"I was happy to act with Song Joong-ki", said Lee Sung-min, who looked back on the filming process, "It is a dignified drama that will show a completely different appearance from the chaebol that I saw through the previous dramas. The results came out well", he said confidently.
