Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gang Dong-won reportedly studied real con artists' mannerisms, including subtle hand movements and delayed eye contact, to sell Han's deceptive charm.
The film satirizes Korea's prosecutorial power and chaebol corruption scandals that dominated headlines in the mid-2010s, making Byun's fall from grace uncomfortably timely.
