Premiere Watch: Delightfully Deceitful
by missvictrix
Time slot: Monday-Tuesday
Broadcaster: tvN
Genre: Crime, comedy, revenge
Episode count: 16
Reasons to watch: This drama already looks like a lot of fun, with Chun Woo-hee in her element playing a wild scam artist with a team of misfits behind her and zero attention paid to people’s feelings. People’s feelings, you say? That’s what our hero Kim Dong-wook is all about, and I’m loving in the K-drama stereotype inversion here: our heroine is the cold one wreaking havoc, and our hero is the one that’s hyper-empathic and running around mediating. And, you know, defending said heroine in court to get her out of jail time for her most recent scam. Though the setup of the drama feels rock solid, the tone is less certain, but with the “comedy” label added in there amongst the “crime” and “revenge” sides of our story, here is hoping for a loud, fun, and unique drama that keeps us holding on for dear life.
Also starring are Sojin (yes!) and Yoon Park (double yes!) (but also equal amounts of no on that wolf haircut) in addition to the team that works with our heroine. In conclusion, there will be no shortage of character interest here, which seems about right for the PD of Shooting Stars.
TL;DR: Revenge-seeking con artist Chun Woo-hee x lawyer-in-his-feels Kim Dong-wook
