I Read somewhere that in this adaption Jin-woo will focus more on pampering Hae-in than spanking monsters. Seems like Netflix is indeed trying to use BWS's previous drama as catalyst for this one. This is where SK industry and japanese industry differ immensely, Sk try so hard to add something which isn't needed to make it marketable overseas unlike Japanese industry.
I’m only (for now) interested in watching this because of ML’s tattoos (we never get characters in kdramas…
masculine enough to lift a car above his head and carry a tree trunk on his shoulders.
But all these can be overlooked because this male lead character looks different & fresh he's like someone who challenges basic traditional gender roles.

characters description: Lee Ga-gyeong (early 20s) Kim Youjung
“If you’re born in Joseon, does that mean you all have to join the independence movement? What has Joseon ever done for me?” Gyeongseong’s best pickpocket. A woman who can lie without blinking and con people completely
Kim Tae-ung / Sato Hideo (20s mid–late) Park Jinyoung
“My Joseon name… is Kim Tae-ung.” Adopted son of Sato Shinichi, the Governor-General’s political chief. Newly appointed English interpreter at the Governor-General’s Office.
Yoo So-ran (40s early–mid) Kim Hyunjoo
“Promise me. In this house, don’t steal anything. But remember: over there, steal everything. And disguise yourself—disguise everything about you.”
Yoo Philip (30s mid–late) - (casting yet to be done) “If Ga-gyeong puts the Gugukdan, or So-ran, in danger, I won’t just stand by.”
Sato Shinichi (50s mid–late) - (casting yet to be done) Newly appointed political chief of the Governor-General’s Office. “Don’t trust Joseon people. Joseon women, even less.”
For binge watchers I'd recommend to pick up the drama either after part 1 or part 2 ends altogether because in woo min-ho's political works the pacing and drama takes time to settle in mainly since this is set in same universe as drug king, with disney+ breadcrumbing schedule most of them will definitely loose interest by the time the drama ends. eg:- uncle samsik.
