If Lee Jun-ho accepts the casting offer, he will portray the superhero Kang Sang-woong, who is dedicated to saving the lives of ordinary people.

They hope that Lee Jun-ho accepts the offer, as the drama is bound to be even funnier and more hilarious, considering the unique storyline of the upcoming Netflix series Cashero.
