"As the Royal Guard Chief, Jo Young always follows Emperor Lee Gon wherever he goes. For him, nothing is more important than protecting the emperor. Jo Young and Lee Gon grew up together, so there is a special bond between them like a friend and brother. Jo Eun-seob fulfills his military duty as a public service worker. He is very optimistic, can't be serious, and always cheerful. He is like a younger sibling to Jung Tae-eul, so I play two roles that are like siblings to Lee Gon and Jung Tae-eul."

4. Kang Sin-jae, played by Kim Kyung-nam

She has an ambitious personality that remains steadfast in her beliefs and never hesitates to express what's on her mind. Her relationship with Emperor Lee Gon is full of uncertainty. Sometimes she appears to be using him, but at other times she can show her sincerity. Seo-ryeong is a very complex and fragile character."

6. Prince Geunyang Lee Lim, played by Lee Jung-jin

"He is Lee Gon's uncle. This series is set in the present time and my character is 69 years old. He enjoys playing with human nature and is skilled in using a sword. If you see romantic moments among the characters, when Lee Lim arrives, everything will be disrupted."
