Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The term 'monster' in Korean corporate drama refers to chaebol heirs who destroy lives for profit — a very real cultural anxiety post-2010s corruption scandals.
Kang Ji-hwan performed many of his own stunts despite the role's physical demands, later citing this production as his most exhausting but rewarding.
