Song had previously been confirmed to play Yong Hyun-woo, the Sunyang Group Family’s loyal secretary who dies after being framed for embezzlement. He is reborn as the family’s youngest son Jin Do-joon, who then aims to exact revenge by working to take over the company.
The newly cast Shin will be playing the role of prosecutor Seo Min-young who works in an anti-corruption department.
