The first press stills that have been released show the tense confrontation between Jo-gak (Lee Hye-young) and Tu-u (Kim Sung-chul) and the unpredictable relationships between the characters surrounding them, showing the chemistry of the characters who go back and forth between fate and ill fate.

It shows the refined emotional line of Jo-gak, the legendary killer who all killers are crazy about but also fear. The confrontation between the sculpture and the bullfight, which does not back down an inch, directly exposes the condensed narrative between the characters.

Then, curiosity is raised about where the sharp gaze of the mysterious killer bullfight is directed, and the scene where he faces Mr. Kang (Yeon Woo-jin) foreshadows an intensifying development of the conflict.
