Kim Dong-wook leads a Not Very Strong But Charming team

by tccolb

SBS’s 2024 is shaping up to be the year of the cop, and officer Kim Dong-wook (Delightfully Deceitful) welcomes us into the new year with an early special teaser for Not Very Strong But Charming Violent Crimes Unit (roughly translated).

In a crime-comedy that has my full attention, we meet our ragtag team of five in the new trailer who have been temporarily banished relocated to a new office to serve as their base camp. When they arrive, though, the group discover a dilapidated building that was once a children’s preschool and the feelings of disbelief are only made worse when maknae Lee Seung-woo (Vigilante) reads the broken sign incorrectly. After taking a tour inside, Park Ji-hwan (My Lovely Boxer) wryly notes, “Over there is the rainbow room and that’s the sunshine room, so are we the violent crimes room?”

 

 

As the sequence continues, we’re then introduced to each member of the unit, starting with the hapless rookie detective Jang Tan-shik (Lee Seung-woo) and the fiery-tempered Seo Min-seo – played by Park Se-wan (Doona). We also have Seo Hyun-woo (Celebrity) playing Jung Jung-hwan, who is described as smitten dumb for his daughters, in addition to bulldozer Mu Joong-ryuk (Park Ji-hwan) who likes to talk with his fists.

Last but not least, the ~elite~ Dongbang Yoo-bin (Kim Dong-wook) has been newly appointed to take charge of the group and the appearing text screens reveal that they’re the lowest ranking violent crimes unit in the nation. When asked for his opinion on the team, Yoo-bin doesn’t shy from our drama’s title and responds, “You don’t seem very strong on first glance. Your heads are hasty, your feet are slow, and your lips are not sealed. But there’s something charming about you as well.”

The teaser then closes as our group get their hero walk and they announce in the text screen that, “We’re mobilizing from the children’s preschool in 2024!”

On the production side, the series has a crew of four taking the reins with PD Ahn Jong-yeon (Racket Boys) and PD Shin Joong-hoon directing, along with scripts by Lee Young-chul and Lee Kwang-jae. The latter two have worked together previously on sitcoms Potato Star 2013QR3 and Smashing on Your Back.

SBS’s Not Very Strong But Charming Violent Crimes Unit is expected to broadcast later this year.

Kim Dong Wook Leads the Nation's Weakest Violent Crimes Unit in the New Crime Comedy K-drama

by Lily Alice, January 2, 2024

 

 

4 0

 

A special teaser for the upcoming 2024 SBS drama Not Very Powerful, but Attractive has been unveiled. 

The teaser encapsulates the cheerful and comedic ambiance of the drama, showcasing the charms of the five members of the Not Very Powerful, but Attractive team: Kim Dong Wook as Dongbang Yu Bin, Park Ji Hwan as Mu Jung Ryuk, Seo Hyun Woo as Jung Jung Hwan, Park Se Wan as Seo Min Seo, and Lee Seung Woo as Jang Tan Sik.

Not Very Powerful, but Attractive is a crime comedy K-drama depicting the journey of the country's lowest-ranked Violent Crimes Unit teaming up with the elite team leader.

The teaser commences by showing the nation's lowest-ranked Violent Crimes Unit setting up a temporary office in an unconventional location rather than a police station.

Mu Jung Ryuk, Jung Jung Hwan, Seo Min Seo, and Jang Tan Sik arrive at the closed daycare center looking miserable.

Especially, when Jang Tan Sik sarcastically remarks, "Good (Eunsomang) daycare center?" while looking at the dilapidated signboard, the shocked expressions of the three people looking at him evoke laughter.

Moreover, Mu Jung Ryuk's witty exclamation upon entering the kindergarten, "There is the rainbow class over there, the sunbeam class over there, and are we the violent crimes class?" adds to the amusement.

Next, the teaser gives a brief introduction to the squad.

Jang Tan Sik is a rookie detective; Seo Min Seo is a short-tempered detective with bright eyes and a unique voice; Jung Jung Hwan is a detective who works hard to make a living; Mu Jung Ryuk is known as the bulldozer detective who is uncontrollable with his fist that makes it hard to tell whether he is a detective or a criminal.

Then there is Dongbang Yu Bin, an elite team leader.

The coming together of the nation's weakest but charming Violent Crimes Unit and the enigmatic elite team leader, Dongbang Yu Bin (Kim Dong Wook), attract attention.

SBS's Not Very Powerful, but Attractive is scheduled to air sometime in 2024. Watch the teaser below.
