The new tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: The Seven Korean Relics' (written by Shin Kyung-Il, directed by Choi Jun-Bae, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Curo Holdings, Studio V Plus) is set to premiere on April 12th at 10:30 PM. It is a caper comic action drama where an unofficial cultural property recovery team 'Karma' teams up with the mysterious cultural property thief Scunk, taking on those who cannot be judged by the law.
In the drama, Joo Won will play the role of Hwang Dae-Myung, a carefree government official with a secret, leading a thrilling double life.
In the meantime, 'Stealer: The Seven Korean Relics' has released a second teaser video featuring Hwang Dae-Myung (played by Joo Won) and his alter ego, the cultural property thief Scunk, hinting at the emergence of a new dark hero surrounding Korean cultural properties.
First, the not-so-ordinary way Hwang Dae-Myung slacks off at work brings laughter. Hiding in a corner with earplugs in, he sleeps with toy glasses featuring drawn eyes, pretending to be awake.
The strong fraudulent vibe is felt when Hwang Dae-Myung jumps out screaming at the youngest employee Jin Ae-Ri's (played by Min Soo-Hwa) scolding.
There is an untold reason why Hwang Dae-Myung sleeps like this during work hours. When night falls and cultural property smugglers become active, he conceals his face with a black mask and transforms into the thief Scunk. The fact that Hwang Dae-Myung, who boasted a calm smile, is the true identity of Scunk, who has stolen a large number of cultural properties, raises curiosity.
Then the question arises as to why Hwang Dae-Myung became Scunk. Declaring "There's no other way," Scunk, who showcased brilliant thievery at cultural property smuggling sites, draws attention to Hwang Dae-Myung's story of having no choice but to take this path to recover cultural properties in a world where smugglers rule.
In particular, as Hwang Dae-Myung says, "It's me. I am Scunk," the alternating illumination of Scunk's masked face and Hwang Dae-Myung's unmasked face behind him heightens anticipation for the unfolding events in the dark hero's double life.
It's only a matter of time before fans fall for dark hero Joo Won in tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: The Seven Korean Relics', which will premiere on April 12th at 10:30 PM.
