The first stills are out for upcoming MBC 50-episode weekend drama Bad Thief, Good Thief, which has a synopsis that doesn’t sound like a typical family K-drama which has dominated that time slot. The drama is about a band of thieves who disrupt the operations of a powerful top group secretly manipulating South Korea. So Robin Hood battling the big bad shadowy complex, cool! Starring Ji Hyun Woo and Seohyun, the two actually look charming and compatible next to each other, but for my concerns on Seohyun’s acting ability and experience to anchor a long drama. Second leads Kim Ji Hoon and Im Joo Eun are rock solid for me and may make this worth following if the story is interesting even if Seohyun is the weak link. The drama airs in May following Father, I’ll Take Care of You.

Directing is the PD of Mom and Home Sweet Home with the screenwriter of May Queen, Golden Rainbow, and Glamorous Temptation.
