She stops at nothing to achieve her goals, and is ruthless and cruel. She is a villain, so to speak!

— Lin Hsi-leiLin Hsi-lei, who plays "Sister Fan," describes her character's ruthless nature.

Christopher Lee plays Jiang Fusheng, a debt-ridden, middle-aged man with a past in organized crime. Despite his disheveled appearance and penchant for jokes, he possesses sharp skills, particularly with firearms. He partners with Xue Qiunan, a younger, affluent figure from a political family, portrayed by Daniel Hong. Their contrasting backgrounds and personalities create a compelling dynamic as they navigate their roles as "cleaners" for the "Qing He Palace" faction.

Jiang Fusheng is a veteran gangster. He looks nonchalant and likes to talk nonsense!

Meanwhile, Annie Chen takes on the role of "Sister Fan," the formidable leader of the "Night Moon Hall" organization. Known for her ruthless efficiency and cold demeanor, Sister Fan is a stark departure from Chen's usual elegant image. Her character is described as someone who stops at nothing to achieve her goals, creating a significant adversarial relationship with "Qing He Palace."

He used to be very accurate and fast with his gun, and knew how to use his own methods to deal with the people he should deal with!

"The Cleaners" is set to premiere on Netflix on September 17, 2026.

He's a bit tsundere, with a sharp tongue but a girlish heart. He's petty and doesn't pay much attention to me. It's up to the middle-aged, experienced person to tease him and open his happy heart!

— Lee Ming-shunLee Ming-shun humorously describes his character's dynamic with his younger partner, Xue Qiunan.
