Choi Jin-Hyuk as Koo Dong-Chi (chief prosecutor)
Spoiler:
Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, a chief prosecutor - He passed a bar exam at a young age, is a smart high school graduate, and has 10 years experience as a prosecutor. Normally he acts casual and light hearted, but at the front of a case he arms himself with impartiality and a cool head, and never loses the main focus. He has an unshakable confidence in himself and he knows how to play the game at the moment in need. He has no interest in politics or any organization. He can toss away money and power but has excellent investigation skills and is a sharp ace in applying the law. He is an organization’s worry and real pain to the top people. He believes the law can save people. In front of a crime he is prudent and with people he becomes warm hearted. (*)
Baek Jin-Hee as Han Yeol-Moo (trainee prosecutor)
Spoiler:
Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, a law school graduate probationary prosecutor - She is smart and thinks studying is ease. She is daring, bright and untainted but also has another side of unfathomable secrecy. She can be very persistent, determined with stubborn pride and has audacity and temper but she is a weary 20s’ youth who easily feels anxious and gets hurt. Her ability doesn’t match her desire which causes her a hard time. Her tenacity for digging to the end and her determination to face off makes her move at the right time. She believes that a bad person never changes and everybody lies. She thinks if one commits crime one should get punished accordingly. To her the law is the victim’s weapon, and the prosecutor’s duty is to punish bad guys on behalf of the victims. (*)

Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, a superintendent public prosecutor - He became an ace through the central investigation departmentin and the special, powerful public security bureau. He has an intelligent mind with good sense, ability to calculate, a lot of nerve and on top of all that he has a lot of experience. He’s always one step ahead and can look out further.
He talks in spite and he is stubborn. At first glance he appears to be like a principled, sturdy prosecutor. However he receives whatever is, if he feels deserved, but when it comes his turn to give, he might not give and he has tendency to act with patronage. For the criteria of right and wrong, he acts according to circumstance and if in need, he can cover and hold a duck’s flipper on it.
He can behave childishly and mature at the same time. He stresses loyalty then easily betrays. He is very obedient and loyal to the organization yet he can become a cunning strategist making a frontal attack with a straight face. He doesn’t leave any trace of his mistakes but he holds onto others’ weaknesses. He carries with him a strong survival instinct which can’t be bent under any trampling. After graduating from Seoul university and working in a big corporation then quitting, he passed the bar exam at a late age rising from a humble family but as soon as he became a prosecutor he discarded his humble background. He is ambitious and aims at becoming a deputy job for now but his ultimate goal is becoming the Attorney General. (*)

Bashful and shy handsome gentle man he is but he can also act rough or hurling off a fast ball like a straight shooter. There isn’t much he wants to have or to be. If he has a wish, it’s only about his grandmother’s health and the개평 ajeossi coming back to his senses. Having an innocent mind set he doesn’t like lies and believes in acts of sincerity. But sometime he gets frustrated and hurt because the world doesn’t run as he wishes. (*)

After drinking he is prone to act irresponsibly and he can be stubborn regardless but he has the ability to speak eloquently and to be very sociable which gives him a wide network and knowing everything. He speaks well in English and Chinese, and frequently talks with an intelligent point. There have been rumors about him which says he graduated from the Seoul university or worked for a major company but this hasn’t been proved. He also doesn’t talk about his past.

As a rich son from Gangnam, he flowed through ‘the formal elite course’ from a high school abroad - Seoul National University - the Judicial Research and Training Institute – a military Judicial officer. His life has been a series of schooling and extracurricular activities so he has zero opinion of himself and if his boss says something about the indictment he changes it with a speed of light.

His only daughter, Ju Gwang Mi ( Jeong Hye Seong) also works in the next room as an investigator so he feels pride in having a sort of judicial family.

Lee Jong Gon (No Ju Hyeon) Chief Justice prosecutors
![image]()
Spoiler:
A director of the public prosecutions in the Department of Justice ((? I’m unsure of its exact title)):
He is called the flower of prosecution, and he is the head of the public prosecutions in the Department of Justice. He is a real big shot among the influential heavy weights as he handles personnel, budget, investigation and information. He is a fast thinking prosecutor with actual experience in the special, powerful public security bureau including the central investigation department. He has the ability to see things in the big picture yet he has a certain personality((not in good aspect)) which makes him acting as a relief pitcher whenever there is crisis. He was like prosecution’s cyber dolsoe (돌쇠, an online game’s character) who took care of any of big or dirty work. But after 2000, the success of independent counsel on Kim Jae Geon gate ((? KJG was the target of investigation)), he broke off all expectations of going to the National Assembly, and he moved to the Department of Justice and served in various important positions becoming the prosecution’s back bone and the dragon among dragons. He thinks that the country collapses when the prosecution collapses, therefore the prosecutor has to exist for the sake of the country’s survival. He thinks the organization should come first before Justice or principle. He is a typical organization marksman with a belief in ‘the principle of uniformity/identity of public prosecutors’. He is called the magnetic steel rope because he always backs his men. He has a personal connection like a magnet with a presidential inner network, political community and chaebol groups and he is in the ranking of becoming the next Attorney General (*).
Oh Do Jeong Incheon District Prosecutors' Office Deputy Inspectio

Spoiler:
She overcame a handicap of being a woman and a younger age and became the deputy which made her the protagonist ((? Good or bad)) in the personal affair matter.
A division of the Attorney General's Office, which is responsible for enforcement of violent criminals, a ministry of public security, special forces and the public welfare team are all under the her command. She is an associate chaebol daughter and a queen with the connections from schooling, region and blood relations and plus having money. In appearance she acts like she puts importance on the principles and justification but in fact she is often most interested in her own careerShe can be ‘a soft charisma’ in a good term or in a frank term, ‘auntie force’ which she uses as a weapon. Acting like a fox, she laughs pleasantly, speaks her mind, can take away from others and suppress others if the opportunity occurs . She is quick to be on the side with someone who has the advantage and she is the first one to walk away from a sinking situation.
She has an excellent golf skill and she never fails to make an appearance in any of the golf events for the regal circles or the social gatherings. There is also a rumor circulating she won the deputy job through golf (*).
