The unofficial cooperation of team 'Karma', which will shoot down those who flout the law, has begun.
In the 4th episode of the tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: Seven Reports of Joseon', which aired on the 20th, police officers from the cultural property task force to capture Skunk, a professional thief of cultural property, made an illegal proposal to Hwang Dae-myeong (played by Joo Won). On the other hand, the terrifying intentions of Kim Young-soo (played by Lee Deok-hwa), who aims to invade Joseon, were revealed.
Hwang Dae-myeong used Lee Chun-ja's (Choi Hwa-jeong) wealth to acquire the celadon inlaid chemical vase that Kim Young-soo, the director of the Mugung Art Museum, put up for auction, but he had no intention of handing over a single penny to Kim Young-soo, who had amassed his wealth through unfair means. Accordingly, Hwang Dae-myeong, who transformed into the dark hero skunk, successfully completed the operation to recapture the money bag by giving an exhilarating electric shock to the Rose of Sharon Foundation agents that brought them to their senses, and even giving them a baptism of skunk-like smoke gas.
The cultural heritage team discovered that coin collectors from various countries were murdered using the same method as Chairman Yang (played by Jang Gwang). Team leader Jang Tae-in (played by Jo Han-cheol) was convinced that these unusual incidents were related to the flawed Chosun Tongbo and began to focus on the seven special Joseon Tongbo that appeared in Eulmi Diary.
The hole in Joseon Tongbo is presumed to be the only clue that will lead to finding the treasure hidden by the cultural property plundering unit during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. While Kim Young-soo's subordinate Jo Baek-dal (played by Kim Jae-cheol) made threatening moves targeting this, circumstances were discovered in which even the famous 'goldo (antique thief)' Dr. Go (played by Choi Jeong-woo) participated in obtaining the Joseon report.
The cultural heritage team, which must recruit Skunk before Joseon Tongbo falls into the hands of villains, set up a ruthless arrest operation to lure in Hwang Dae-myeong, who is suspected of being Skunk's secret helper. Among them, passionate police officer Choi Min-woo (played by Lee Joo-woo) not only volunteered to work undercover in front of Hwang Dae-myeong's house, but also subdued him by force and arrested him, making the world laugh by continuing to capture him.
Hwang Dae-myeong, who was captured by the cultural heritage team's hideout, was met with an offer from them to meet the skunk. Jang Tae-in's unusual declaration that he was trying to start an illegal business with a skunk as a criminal against a criminal immediately stimulated Hwang Dae-myeong, and Hwang Dae-myeong, who seemed to have made up his mind to do something, said, "It's me. “That skunk,” he said, revealing his identity.
However, Choi Min-woo, Jang Tae-in, and Shin Chang-hoon (Kim Jae-won) could not believe that the dark hero Skunk, who steals cultural assets with his elegant skills, and the sly Hwang Dae-myeong were the same person. Contrary to his intentions, Hwang Dae-myeong, who joined the unofficial cultural property recovery team 'Karma' as Skunk's partner, aroused interest in what kind of double life he will lead in the future.
At the end of the broadcast, a skunk was depicted visiting Team ‘Karma’s hideout. To the police officers in the cultural heritage team, Skunk is considered a completely different person from Hwang Dae-myeong. Attention is focused on the next story as to whether the skunk will give them the OK sign and end up tangled up in the same fate as team 'Karma'.
On this day's broadcast, Kim Young-soo's eerie plan to obtain Joseon Tongbo was revealed. Kim Young-su wanted to collect the seven Joseon Tongbo and obtain none other than the Bead of Eternal Life. It made us guess why he constantly showed his desire to possess despite all kinds of greed.
