The 32-year-old actor shared that playing the role of the Guard who catches an alien prisoner trapped in a human body is quite difficult, considering that he had to play four different identities all at once.
"To portray four different identities, I tried to express the different energy of each one little by little," he explained as obtained by a media outlet.
To give justice to his role, Kim Woo Bin shared how he wanted to illustrate the differences between each and every one.
"Of course, I acted under the director's direction, but I wanted to show their traits well so that the conversation between the characters wouldn't be boring."
