Meanwhile, fellow lead star Lee Soo Hyuk portrays the hawk-like grim reaper and Guiding Management team leader Park Joong Gil. He belongs to the rival group of Goo Ryun.
Unlike the crisis management team, Park Joong Gil believes that it is inappropriate for grim reapers to meddle with the lives of humans, especially in between the life and death situation.

For him, suicide was their choice and the angels of death should not intervene with their decision. Due to their opposing beliefs, Goo Ryun and Park Joong Gil's riff continues.
Amid their rivalry, both team leaders work for Jade Emperor and Joomadeung president, played by veteran actress Kim Hae Sook.
