BUSTED! (2018)
Seven celebrity sleuths discover that they are a part of an operation called Project D, in which they are implanted with a chip containing the DNA of famous detectives throughout history. Led by a man only known as “K” (Ahn Nae-sang), they are recruited as private detectives and are given a new case in each episode, all the while figuring out the mystery behind Project D and its inception.

FANGIRL NOTES
- Genre : Mystery fiction / Thriller
- It premiered on May 4, 2018.
- The show is Netflix’s first original program to showcase an all-Korean cast.
- Each episode features guest celebrities. Unlike other Korean variety show formats, guests for Busted! play characters many of whom have the same names as the celebrities themselves. The characters are somehow involved in the murder mystery in each episode and/or lead the cast to clues for solving the murder mystery.
FANGIRL FEELS
- Puzzle-solving + location-hopping + amateur detective appeal + directed chaos = Busted!
- The story is very interesting and every mystery has its charm.
- I watched this primarily for Park Min Young, but then I fell in love with the show in its whole.
- The cast has a super dynamic and their interactions and friendship is really sweet to watch!
- My favorite episodes : Ep 5 (The Last Vampire) and Ep 6 (Battle of the Detectives)
- I really enjoyed watching Busted!, and I totally recommend this if you want some laughs and just something to take your mind of things.
OVERALL
It’s a mystery-solving variety show that puts the viewers in shifting emotions of excitement and laughter. This was so much fun to watch.
