Lee Min-ki and Kwak Sun-young get behind the wheel in Crash

Truck of Doom beware, because these dramaland cops may actually hunt you down! ENA’s upcoming comedy Crash is about a ragtag team of officers over at the Traffic Crime Investigations (TCI) unit, and as their name implies, they investigate vehicular crimes. If the acronym sounds unfamiliar, don’t worry, since the newest teaser for the show pokes fun at its own relative obscurity.

Starring Kwak Sun-young (Moving) as team ace Min So-hee — alongside Heo Sung-tae (Bait) as her captain Jung Chae-man and Lee Ho-chul (Like Flowers in Sand) and Moon-hee (Duty After School) as her teammates — the TCI fight an uphill battle as they raid an office only to be met with confusion. The criminals think they’re a broadcasting station since their title isn’t as recognizable as the FBI, CIA, or even BTS — the latter of which poor Chae-man misunderstands as another police department. Then, to make things worse, a new addition joins their crew in the form of nerdy Lee Min-ki (Behind Your Touch) as genius Kaist graduate Cha Yeon-ho.

Making quite the first impression, Yeon-ho introduces himself on a rainy night with a flashlight shining under his face, and So-hee screams at the serial killer who enters her car. Alas, this is her new partner, and his explanation for his unorthodox entrance was to not scare her. Oh boy…

Yeon-ho isn’t the only hole on the team, though, as Chae-man gets beat up during an arrest and sheepishly stares at the ground while the new recruit holds an ice pack to his eye. The whole group seems like trouble as they dance outside a press conference and their superior officer calls them dumbheads. Despite all this, Yeon-ho wants to do a good job — even if he can’t jump walls or pull off stunts like his cool partner — and he’ll get behind the wheel if it means solving the case.

Directed by PD Park Joon-woo (Doctor Detective, Taxi Driver) with scripts penned by Oh Soo-jin, ENA’s Crash is slated for twelve episodes and premieres May 13 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
