In the 30-second sneak peek, Lee Dong Wook plays the role of a charming rogue police inspector Ryu Su Yeol who is left helpless in his encounters with the crazy motorcycle rider played by Wi Ha Jun. Donning a helmet, Wi rides recklessly on the streets to leave pillion rider Lee Dong Wook screaming. When they meet again, Lee Dong Wook is in a bathrobe in a back alley, and Wi lifts his ride over Lee in a shocking and dangerous move.
