Seoul Busters (2024)

Lighthearted Comedy with Depth

I loved this drama! The actors were amazing, especially with their spot-on comedic timing. What I really appreciated was how they kept things light, even while dealing with some pretty serious cases. They didn’t let the comedy take away from the heavier themes but also didn’t let things get too serious—it struck the perfect balance. A lot of shows like this start off funny but end up feeling way too heavy by the end, but that wasn’t the case here, which I really enjoyed.

I also loved how they gave credit to almost all the extras at the end—it was such a nice touch, and it gave me the chance to relive some of the funniest moments from the show.

They also did a great job subtly touching on deeper issues like the struggles of parenting, athletes not living up to their potential, the scars parents leave on their kids, following careers you’re passionate about, and dealing with loss. They handled all of it thoughtfully without going over the top.

A couple of personal highlights for me were Kim Dong Wook’s goofy smile and the character of Dong Gu—they both brought so much charm to the show. This is definitely my second favorite, right after Gaus Electronics!

A SECRET GEM!!! A COMEDIC MASTERPIECE!!! 11/10 ✨???

This is the first review I write after having watched almost 300 K-Dramas and 100+ movies. And I'm doing it because "Seoul Busters" is worth every type of PRAISE!!! ????This rightfully took a place in my top 20 BEST KOREAN DRAMAS ever!!! ?And here's why:

1) THE CAST. ?Every single member of this cast did a stellar job.✨They delivered amazing performances, in both comedic and dramatic moments. They had such wonderful chemistry with each other, they clicked perfectly. ?I couldn't see any other actor/actress in their places. They're literally the PERFECT combination. ?
2) Sometimes you need a good laugh, not complicated things, just something to brighten up your day. ?And boy, does this drama provide you with endless laughs. ?I haven't laughed this much with a piece of cinema or TV before and I'm not referring to just Asian content. "Seoul Busters" made me CRY tears of laughter, so much, my belly hurt from laughing.? I watched all episodes with my mom and we made sure to watch them in a time during the day where we could laugh loudly without waking up any neighbors!!!?I looked forward to the new episodes each week because they lifted my spirit and even during bad days they never failed to put a smile on my face. ☺️It's not easy to make that happen but these characters, these super talented actors made it happen.❤️
3) You think it's only humor?? You're WRONG. Despite its obvious comedic tone, the drama has plenty of touching, even tragic moments that will break your heart. ?Especially the second half of the drama will definitely make you shed some tears. ?But it's all perfectly executed and ties in with the plot well.
4) And what about the cases of the week?? ?So many cases, so many suspects, so many plot twists. ?Each case intriguing and different than the other. And also, very good guest stars making things even more interesting. ?
5) The action??? PLS!!! They were all so badass, I loved the fight scenes and their planning, and going undercover.? Each member of our Violent Crimes Team at had something unique to offer and put their skills to good use.?

7) SEASON 2, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING!!! ?This drama wrapped things up very well but it left the window open with a perfect opportunity to continue for a second season. ?I have never had such a passionate desire for a K-drama to be renewed for a second season before!!! ✌️Where do I sign the petition for S2 to be announced ASAP???? I don't want to say a final goodbye to my favorite characters just yet!!!?

To sum up, "Seoul Busters" is a K-Drama I would recommend to EVERYONE, it would be such a shame to lose such a gem!!!✨ It's perfectly balanced in every aspect and has a wonderful group of actors who bring unique, unforgettable characters to life.✌️ I'm so glad I decided to watch it, it didn't disappoint or bore me for one second!!!
