The striking cast lineup consists of Bae Sung-woo, Kim Seoul-hyun (aka Seolhyun), who was the lead in the Netflix K-drama Summer Strike, along with Uhm Tae-goo, well acclaimed for his films Coin Locker Girl and Night in Paradise, and others.
The cast also includes actors such as Lee Jung-eun, Kim Min-ha, Shin Eun-soo, Kim Sun-hwa, Park Hyuk-kwon, Kim Dae-myung, and Kim Ki-hae to accompany the lead pair as the show's ensemble.

The webtoon offers a good deal of suspense and terror. It will be intriguing to watch how the future adaptation is realized, especially in light of Moving's popularity. The cast list and the drama name are the only things that the network has made public.
It is reportedly Kang Full's fifth endeavor in the enigma psychology drama genre. With more than 150 million views overall, the webtoon version is incredibly popular among readers and fans. Lighting Shop's script will be written by author Kang Full, known for his work on Moving. The new series marks the directorial debut of actor Kim Hee-Won, who previously portrayed a high school teacher in Moving.
