Joo Won plans to color day and night with his polarizing charms.
tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: Seven Reports of Joseon', which will be aired for the first time at 10:30 pm on April 12, is a story about Skunk, a mysterious cultural property thief, and Karma, an unofficial cultural property recovery team, uniting to fight against those whom the law cannot judge. A furry comic action drama. It promises refreshing fun that will take away the frustration of everyday life.
In the first teaser video released earlier, Skunk (played by Joo Won) was expected to be active in punishing cultural property traffickers. This time, a teaser poster was released containing a meaningful two-shot of a skunk and Hwang Dae-myeong (played by Joo Won), a Cultural Heritage Administration official.
In the teaser poster, Hwang Dae-myeong shows off his heavy presence even though he has a playful expression. Behind Hwang Dae-myeong, who is holding a spray paint gun and looking straight ahead, is a picture of a skunk, the eternal enemy of those who target cultural assets. The word ‘STEALER’ is painted on top of it, as if it was Hwang Dae-myung’s work.
Hwang Dae-myung's confident smile once again steals attention as curiosity rises following the mysterious colored smoke that envelopes them, as to whether he knows the identity of the skunk. It's as if he is proudly revealing that he is the person behind the black mask.
In particular, the skunk, who was giving a thrilling blow to the bad guys who are raking in black money through the smuggling of cultural assets, shows a 180-degree different charm by striking a humorous pose in the frame. The strange two-shot of Hwang Dae-myeong's body, whose specialty is squirming, and Skunk, who has a spoonful of his ego, raises expectations for the dark hero's secret day.
It is surprising that Hwang Dae-myeong, who is often criticized by his fellow employees for being negligent during the day, visits the site of cultural property trafficking at night, hiding his identity, and wreaks havoc there. I am looking forward to Joo Won's performance as he portrays two completely different characters, day and night, why Hwang Dae-myeong transforms into a skunk, and why he commits such secret theft.
'Stealer: Seven Joseon Tongbo' will premiere on April 12 at 10:30 p.m.
