From the writer of
Attack on the Pin-Up Boys,
My Tutor Friend, and
Alone In Love comes the new mystery comedy
Evasive Inquiry Agency, which revolves around the present-day quest for an ancient treasure thought to have been hidden by King Kojong in the late 19th century. Leading the treasure hunt is an unlikely team of investigators: a dim-witted taekwondo master (Lee Min Ki,
Love Truly), a jaded comic book store owner (Ryu Seung Soo,
Thank You), and a quirky tarot card reader (Ye Ji Won,
Old Miss Diary). Though not of Indiana Jones caliber, these three self-proclaimed super sleuths somehow manage to unravel layers upon layers of mysteries through unconventional, often lowbrow tactics. Despite having suffered in ratings against the recent fever of Korean periodic dramas, the drama nonetheless received rave reviews from loyal viewers and critics alike for its ingenious plot, clever dialogue, and amazing editing techniques that make many scenes seem like pages straight out of a comic strip. Drifting along in a sea of eccentricity and absolute hilarity,
Evasive Inquiry Agency gently evokes long forgotten memories of our own childhood adventures.
Taekwondo instructor Moo Yeol (Lee Min Ki), comic book store owner Yong Soo (Ryu Seung Soo), and tarot card reader Hee Kyung (Ye Ji Won) hold shop in a ramshackle complex with few remaining tenants. One day while mindlessly killing time in an empty office once used by a detective agency, Moo Yeol and Yong Soo are mistaken for private investigators by a wealthy housewife who asks them to find her missing Persian cat. Meanwhile, the building owner complains of a strange crying sound coming from the building's basement. Scared out of her wits, Hee Kyung talks Moo Yeol and Yong Soo into investigating the matter. Soon the three super sleuths are on their way to solve the mystery. But what they discover in the basement blows their minds away - gold! Frantically tearing up the basement wall in search for more treasure, they stumble into yet another shocker - a skeleton. Somehow things don't seem to add up.
