From Intelligence Officer to Elite Scammer

With brains, beauty, and an IQ of 165, she targets Korea’s rich and powerful using her own set of rules.
The teaser gives a quick glimpse into her world of scams. One second, she’s an elegant flight attendant; the next, she’s a luxury buyer in high society. Her charisma and confidence make every second worth watching.
A Powerhouse Trio with Big Plans
Joining Park Min-young are Park Hee-soon (Squid Game 3, 2025) as Myung Gu Ho, playing a veteran in the world of deception, and Joo Jong-hyuk (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, 2022)as James, the passionate rookie of the team.

It’s slick, it’s fast, and the team-up looks iconic already.
