Evasive Inquiry Agency


Lee Min Ki - Park Moo Yeol
Lee Eun Seong - Yoo Eun Jae
Ye Ji Won - Jung Hee Kyul
Ryu Seung Soo - Kim Yong Soo

Synopsis:

Moo Yeol is a taekwondo instructor who falls for Eun Jae at first sight when she comes and asks him to help her find gold treasures at the agency. Hee Kyung is a tarot card master and Yong Soo is a manhwa shop owner who passes his days with no dreams nor hopes but gets involved in the gold hunting simply for fun. Moo Yeol, Hee Kyung, and Yong Soo gather together at the empty Inquiry Agency office and they discover a dead corpse in the basement. The four of them later decide to start a treasure hunting project.

This is also a drama without a love story.

Review:

This is the first time that I've seen a Korean series without a love story. But indeed, this series was able to prove that it doesn't need a love story between two persons for the story to become extraordinary.

This series has a mixture of drama, fun and action all in one moment. There were some scenes where you'll cry but will end up laughing.

The story was also quite unique. It was also my first time to watch something as unique as this since it didn't involve any love triangle, strict parents, forbidden love but it involves a TREASURE HUNTING story; probably the only treasure hut story in the history of Korean series.

The way the puzzles were solved, the time alloted for each of the clues to be deciphered were all so well calculated and it can also help you learn some of the Korean history with a mixture of fiction.

Every episode will really leave you hanging, hence would make you crave for more episodes. Indeed, I didn't have any boring moment as I've watched all 16 episodes of this series.

Each character in this story al had their own struggles in life, whether they be poor or rich, but friendship has brought them together and loyalty has made their bond stronger.
