The newly revealed poster, titled "The biggest friend in the world has crash-landed!" depicts military doctor Kim Do Jin examining a mysterious being in an unfamiliar forest. Audiences are eager to discover the nature of the friendship that will unfold between Do Jin and the enigmatic visitor. The accompanying teaser provides a sneak peek into the unexpected events triggered by the arrival of the mysterious guest in a DMZ village during the summer of 1980. Kim Do Jin, assigned as a military doctor to a health center in the Punchbowl area of the DMZ, reports the sighting of a robot resembling an apartment building.

The teaser also introduces key characters such as Joo Bok played by Yoo Jae Myung, a Punchbowl Village resident, Jung Ae played by Seohyun, the sole nurse at the Punchbowl Village Health Center, and Chul, the mysterious guest.
