Yoo Yeon-seok has reportedly been offered the role of Min Jun-ho, a widowed cardiac surgeon who raises his son alone. Known for his calm demeanor and ideal image, Jun-ho begins to feel emotionally stirred after meeting his son’s teacher, Ji-seon. It’s his first experience of such feelings since the loss of his wife.

If the casting is finalized, Liar would mark Seo Hyun-jin’s return to playing a teacher since Black Dog (2020), and Yoo Yeon-seok’s comeback as a doctor after Hospital Playlist 2 in the same year.
