This time, the 36-year-old stars as Ahn Dae-sung, a man who works at a supermarket owned by his mother. His character is scarred by an incident which occurred in the market when he was younger.
The Running Man star will share screen time with AOA's Kim Seolhyun and Jin Hee-kyung who have also been announced as series leads.

"Now that actors Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Seolhyun, and Jin Hee-kyung have been cast as our three leads, we feel more secure and at ease than ever. Our super(market) heroes, the likes of whom have never been seen before, will deliver both joyful laughs and overwhelming suspense at the same time. Please look forward to it,” shared the producers of the K-drama which will premiere some time next year.
