Tracer was produced as an original drama for the OTT streaming service Wavve, while simultaneously airing as a regular Friday-Saturday series on MBC TV from January 7 to March 25, 2022.

Lead actors Im Si-wan and Go Ah-sung were reunited in this drama six years after having previously co-starred together in the 2016 film 'Salute d'Amour' (Oppa Saenggak).

The broadcast schedule was altered so that episodes 9 and 10 aired back-to-back on February 26, 2022.

The show was pulled from its regular slot twice due to special programming: on February 25, 2022 for a presidential candidate debate ahead of South Korea's 20th presidential election, and on March 4, 2022 for an MBC news special report.

Actor Lee Chang-hoon, who played financial director Ryu Yong-shin, won the Best Supporting Actor award in a miniseries at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards for his role in Tracer.

Tracer competed in the same broadcast timeslot against SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Through the Darkness' (translated as 'Those Who Read the Hearts of Evil').
