The Korean production is on high hopes that the Korean audience will look forward to the remake and will be welcomed by original fans and other viewers. Particularly, they raise their expectation as to who will play "The Professor" and the other eight accomplices who will appear attractive even though they are criminals.
Top actors like Lee Byung Jun, Yoo Ji Tae, Gosu, Han Hyo Joo, Han Jimin, and Kim Go Eun are included in the BH Entertainment, who, by the way, manages these actors. But they are still expanding their production. BH Entertainment wishes that the remake will push through. Through this remake, it will expand the agency's territories.
