‘Skunk’ Joo Won blocks a bullet with his whole body
In the 7th episode of the tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: Seven Joseon Reports', which aired on the 3rd, team 'Karma', through a strategy of twists and turns, identified the location where Kim Young-soo's Joseon reports were stored and recovered 150,000 cultural assets. The first step in a difficult mission has been taken.
Skunk (played by Joo Won) infiltrated the secret safe of triad boss Jang Chun-feng (played by Song Jae-hee) and obtained a piece of Joseon Tongbo after a desperate struggle. But the road back was incomparably difficult. Relying on Choi Min-woo's memories, he managed to disable the killing laser beam, but was blocked by a swarm of triads and a fierce fight broke out. To make matters worse, a shooting occurred, and the sight of the skunk embracing Choi Min-woo (played by Lee Joo-woo) and getting shot with his entire body elicited dizzying exclamations.
However, the threat to team ‘Karma’ was only the beginning. This is because Kim Young-soo's subordinate Jo Huin-dal (played by Kim Jae-cheol) appeared in front of Shin Chang-hoon (played by Kim Jae-won), who was returning with Jang Chun-feng's report to Joseon. Even Shin Chang-hoon, the human weapon, fell to his knees due to Jo Huin-dal's surprise attack, and even Chosun Tongbo was taken away, putting the brakes on Team Karma's operation.
The situation stimulated curiosity as to how Jo Huindal noticed their operation and chased after Shin Chang-hoon. In addition, the shock was doubled when it was revealed that Dr. Go (played by Choi Jeong-woo), who cooperated with Team 'Karma' by informing them of the location of the Joseon Tongbo, not only contacted Jo Huandal, but also handed over the Joseon Tongbo obtained from Yeonji's siblings.
Jang Tae-in (played by Jo Han-cheol) surprised the members by saying that he knew that Dr. Go was planning to steal the Chosun Tongbo and run away. Jang Tae-in, who hid the real Joseon report, secretly collaborated with Lee Chun-ja (Choi Hwa-jeong) to produce a counterfeit product infused with GPS, while calculating that Dr. Go would use this fake Joseon report to collect the rest. Jang Tae-in's design, which focused on the fact that it was a game you couldn't win if you didn't collect all seven, went as planned and was thrilling.
Kim Young-su, who did not notice that fake Joseon reports had been mixed in, looked at the seven Joseon reports in his hand and sighed with greed. Now, while attention is focused on what kind of steps he will continue, Kim Young-soo's secretary mentions Gyeongju, deepening suspicions surrounding the connection between Cheomseongdae and Chosun Tongbo, which Dr. Ko mentioned last time.
Soon, Kim Young-soo moved to the Rose of Sharon Foundation Training Center, a secret warehouse, with the Joseon Tongbo, and Team 'Karma' developed a new plan to capture the movement of the GPS-planted Joseon Tongbo and the remaining six at once. However, Kim Young-soo's secret warehouse is equipped with a notorious security system. The eerie story that a world-class barricade expert disappeared immediately after building a training center was reported, leading to speculation that the journey of team 'Karma', which will face the strongest villain Kim Young-soo, will be difficult.
It was revealed that the descendants of pro-Japanese minions like Kim Young-soo were living happily, while the descendants of independence fighters were struggling in poverty, sparking anger. I wonder whether Jang Tae-in, who has awakened once again, will be able to lead team 'Karma' and obtain the seven Joseon Tongbo first, the key to finding cultural assets.
