Led by the master of comic action, Kwon Sang-woo, along with the main cast from the first film, Jung Joon-ho, Lee Yi-kyung, Hwang Woo-seul-hye, and Lee Ji-won, plus Kim Sung-oh, the film showcases an unprecedented comedic chemistry and powerful action, enhanced by the stunning scale of webtoons and animation.
