"Now that 'Two Cops' is over, I have started to receive acting lessons. I admit it's a bit late to be starting the lessons," Jo Jung Suk stated.�

He continued with, "After the first broadcast did not receive a very positive response, I knew the [production] team was uneasy about that. However, if the teamwork is good, problems usually do not develop. If you work hard until the end, the desired results will come to fruition."�

In the drama, Jo Jong Suk's character Cha Dong Tak is a passionate detective in the violent crimes unit. His body is possessed by the spirit of Gong Su Chang, a sneaky con artist. This supernatural twist is what gives the drama a unique appeal. Hyeri plays Song Ji An, a reporter for the social department.�

Jo Jung Suk went on by saying "I don't understand that part (the criticism�toward Hyeri). I thought Hyeri's acting was good. In terms of the acting, her style might not have matched well with the production but I still think her acting was good."

He continued, "I received a lot of good vibe�(from Hyeri). She's an actress with good acting. I didn't provide any specific advice for her. I just encouraged on the sets and it was admirable that she had the actually wrote a letter for her fans. It's hard enough to just think that way but she has actually put it into action and I felt that she was truly reflecting on herself. I am proud of my younger colleague for the work that she has done."�
