Stills from the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, where the ambitions of Chief Baek Ki-tae, his colleague Pyo Hak-soo (No Jae-won), and Director Hwang Kook-pyeong (Park Yong-woo) clash, have garnered significant attention. The agency’s lighting design vividly contrasts light and darkness, effectively revealing the complex interplay of fervent ambition and cold detachment among the characters.<\/p>\n

Lighting director Kim Kyung-seok heightens anticipation, visualizing Baek Ki-tae’s unrestrained energy and desire with intense sunlight-like illumination. In contrast, Kim Kyung-seok drapes Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), accustomed to darkness, in dim lighting and heavy tones, naturally conveying the character’s personality and emotions.<\/p>\n

Baek Ki-tae’s office and other key settings meticulously recreate the era with detailed props, enhancing realism. Additionally, scenes depicting Jang Geon-young on a ship against the vast night sea with a tense expression, alongside military units standing in orderly formation under red lighting, underscore the series’ grand scale and pervasive suspense. Contrasting imagery of Baek Ki-tae dressed as both a businessman and a soldier, along with key figures Ikeda Yuji (Won Ji-an) and Ikeda Osamu (Lily Franky), conveys the extensive location work undertaken in Korea, Thailand, and Japan.<\/p>\n
