Joo Won's secret operation begins.
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 about Skunk, a mysterious cultural property thief, and 'Karma', an unofficial cultural property recovery team, uniting to take on those whom the law cannot judge. A caper comic action drama unfolding.
Joo Won played two roles: Hwang Dae-myeong, a civil servant at the Cultural Heritage Administration, and Skunk, a mysterious professional thief of cultural assets. Meanwhile, the first teaser video showing the skunk hidden behind a curtain was released, drawing attention to the unusual story that Joo Won will tell.
The first teaser video begins with the appearance of an unidentified person wearing a special suit on a dark night. Standing solemnly wearing a black mask, he is the most suspicious thief in the world, ‘Skunk’. All the police know about skunks is that they steal our country's cultural assets, which are illegally taken by high-ranking members of society. The reason why he hides his identity and continues the theft remains a question mark, stimulating curiosity.
The thrilling action of Skunk, who sets out to punish those targeting cultural assets in earnest, is admirable. They use ropes freely and break glass windows with their entire bodies, using whatever means they can to steal cultural assets illegally taken by traffickers. At the same time, there is also a moment when Skunk's identity is in danger of being discovered, making us guess that his secret operation will not go smoothly.
At the end of the video, the skunk's true face is revealed as he takes off his mask, saying, "Let's begin." The level of immersion reaches its peak. The powerful gaze of Joo Won, who has become a skunk, causes catharsis, making people more curious about the secret activities of the dark hero Skunk, who will sound the horn in a world where cultural property plunderers are on the move.
'Stealer: Seven Joseon Tongbo' will premiere on April 12 at 10:30 p.m.
