The voice cast boasts a remarkable lineup of seasoned voice actors who have graced renowned anime franchises, ensuring an exceptional performance that will undoubtedly captivate fans worldwide.
The selection of Taito Ban as the voice of Sung Jinwoo, the series' protagonist, is particularly exciting.
