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. The seemingly insane Wi Ha Jun wheelies to shatter a window of the car that Lee Dong Wook is in, to leave him shaken.

However, in moments of danger, they know they have to work together and count on each other. As the assertion “Only you and I can do this!” and the question “Us both?” suggest, the two share an unshakeable bond.
