In particular, it is receiving hot attention even before its release due to its unique casting lineup as well as the meeting of the best creators. In particular, solid and delicate stories and spectacular actions, completed by well-made producers such as 'Queen of Tears', 'Vincenzo'Vincenzo' Director Kim Hee-won and 'The Outlaws' Director Heo Myung-haeng, 'Decision to Break Up' and 'Little Ashes' Writer Jeong Moon-kyung, will capture the world.
Writer Shim Jung-kyung said that the beginning of 'Polaris' was after the end of 'Little Aids'. When I asked director Kim Hee-won what he wanted to talk about, he said he wanted a melodrama with a powerful woman. He said he was curious about the melodrama of such a woman, but I was worried because I was not confident in anything powerful and could not do a melodrama. However, I decided to write the script thinking that it would be a room escape game where you can't leave your room if you don't write such a work."
As for the work, the story begins with setting the female protagonist as a female politician threatened by terrorism, and the person who protects him is handsome. For the international scale, it is based on global terrorism. Since it is a divided country in Korea, it was planned as a Korean genre rather than a traditional intelligence of the United States or Europe. It deals with contemporary issues, not outdated ideologies"

Director Kim Hee-won said, `This work started with what kind of story you want to tell. Personally, I like the story of a character struggling with his or her life. The melodramatic tension between the characters was strengthened as they worked to tell the story in public. I didn't focus on the large-sized masterpiece, but as I put on flesh and put ideas, the scale of the story grew."
Then "I did my best to make it really fun. It may be a stereotypical story, but I think that's the most important value.'
