Park Ji Hoon will portray the leading role of Yeon Si Eun a frail student who uses his innate brain and tools to develop strategic and creative fighting skills to subdue violence inside and outside of school.

The actor was previously seen in Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency, Love Revolution and At a Distance Spring is Green.

Choi Hyun Wook will appear as Ahn Su Ho, an honest and free soul.

He most recently starred in Twenty-Five, Twenty-One, and has won Best New Actor at the 2021 SBS Drama Awards for his performances in Racket Boys and Taxi Driver.

Hong Kyung will be playing the role of Yeon Si Eun and Ahn Su Ho’s friend Oh Beom Seok. While idolizing Si Eun for becoming a “weak hero” and Su Ho for his honest and refreshing personality, Beom Seok starts to harbor aspirations in his heart. He previously appeared in D.P., Lovers of the Red Sky and won Best New Actor at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards for the film Innocence.
