Reasons to watch: Are you ready for an action comedy? The promos for Stealer: The Treasure Keeper seem to promise they’re going all in — from stink suits to one-liners. With a really fun cast lineup up of Joo-won, Jo han-chul, Lee Joo-woo, Kim Jae-won, Lee Deok-hwa, and more, the drama has all the pieces in place for a quintessential caper, from the rich evil baddie, to the hero with a hidden identity.
I don’t know about you, but I could use a good laugh, and I’m hoping this drama brings the fun instead of getting too serious about its seemingly predictable plot (I mean, I think we are all a little bored of evil chaebol chairmen with no moral scruples). In its favor, dramaland has quite a handful of enjoyable caper-like tales that have leaned heavily on the team dynamics (Mad Dog, Lookout, etc.), and I’m down for more of that. So slap Joo-won in a skunk suit with an impish grin and propensity for danger, and I’m pretty much sold.
TL;DR: Joo-won and a crew of thieves called Karma go all Robin Hood and steal from the rich to give cultural artifacts back to the people
