Cast
editMain

- An experienced prosecutor on a crusade, having had a colleague killed and another one crippled three years earlier. After a change in higher-up politics, he is now allowed, and willing to fight dirty to capture his targets.
- Joo Jin-mo as Heo Il-hoo
- A widely feared, former violent mobster. After having survived an assassination attempt, he turned to an honorable life as restaurant owner at Turtle Market where his iron fist now marks the law.
- Yang Ik-june as Jang Sung-cheol
- A detective, a psychopath, a gambler, or a drug addict, nobody can tell for sure. Broken and dirty as he is, he is determined, without compromise, and fights to the last breath.
- Kim Mu-yeol as Noh Jin-pyeong
- A rookie prosecutor who lost his partner to a seemingly random knife attack three years earlier. Still in grief, he is summoned to join a law enforcement team which is sometimes hard to tell apart from thugs.
- Ji Soo as Han Gang-joo
