Busted! is the first original production from Netflix with an all-Korean cast. And on top of this, the show is absolutely star-studded, and if you follow K-drama even a little bit, you will immediately recognise the faces that star this show, as the rag-and-tag band of detectives are all played by actors of tremendous repute in the Korean silver screen industry. The second season returned on Netflix recently. All the original cast members returned for the second season, apart from Lee Kwang-soo who would not be joining due to scheduling conflicts. The show follows a group of accidental bumbling detectives who were originally celebrity sleuths. They learn 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”, they are recruited as private detectives. Each episode, they are assigned a new case to figure out what is the mystery of the project D is. Both the seasons clearly did very well. It is clear in the way the second season ends that there’s a lot left to the story. There’s a vast audience for K-dramas, not just in the East but also in the US. A platform like Netflix not only increases the reach, but also elevates the status of K-dramas as something to be taken seriously.
