The first poster captioned, “If the trial continues like this, Colonel Park will really die,” depicts lawyer Jung In Hoo, who is struggling to save Park Tae Joo. His serious and intense expression hints at his sincere commitment to the trial.

Military officer Park Tae Joo (Lee Sun Gyun), chief secretary to the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, captures attention with his resolute expression and intense gaze. The poster’s caption, “A soldier has rules to follow,” showcases Park Tae Joo’s strong convictions as a soldier.

Jeon Sang Doo (Yoo Jae Myung), the head of the joint investigation team for the October 26 incident, exudes an imposing aura as he listens in on the trial. The caption, “I decide who is guilty and who is not,” hints at his current authority and ambition for even greater power, sparking curiosity about his influence on the trial.

Defense lawyer Boo Han Myung (Jeon Bae Soo) voices his dissatisfaction with the trial through the intense tagline, “Is this truly South Korea?” Meanwhile, another defense lawyer, Choi Yong Nam (Song Young Kyu), expresses his frustration with the trial and the era with the line, “Does anyone here think we can win?”
