Os Desajustados de Seul (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.👌
6) Rewatch value??? Trust me, I'll be having all 20 episodes on repeat for a long time. 💯It just makes me feel so good watching and hearing these guys, they won such a special place in my heart, I'm so grateful for the good times they gave me!!!😊✨
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!!! I'll treasure it forever ❤️😊

One of 2024's hidden gems

Oh, Songwon Police Department 2nd Violent Crimes Unit, you are so precious to me. Thank you for bringing so much me so much joy these past few weeks.

Honestly, give me an ensemble cast with great chemistry, comedic chops, and one shared brain cell and I'll eat it up every time, and this show is no exception.

For me, the best part of this show is the team's chemistry and bond. I found most of the cases interesting (although the resolution the writers come up with sometimes requires some hand-waving), but this show is primarily character-driven and gives more attention to building and developing its characters and their relationships.

I also really liked how the case of the week gave more insight into each member of the team. The only person I thought got shafted in this regard is the maknae; I would have liked to know more about why he left his family to join the police force but it seems the writers forgot all about that part until the last episode.

I do wish the overarching mystery had been weaved in better with the rest of the story. The big bad's reveal and the clue that led to it also required a bit of a deductive leap.

Another thing I enjoyed was that, for all their silliness, these people are competent for the most part and dedicated to their work. Even the maknae showed great moments of brilliance that made me go, yeah, this is why he was hired.

This show isn't one of the flashiest releases this year and as such might go under the radar, but I fell in love from the first episode and recommend it to anyone looking for something light and funny with a lot of heart.

I'm really going to miss the thinking chair, Junghwan searching diligently for T-Rexes for his daughters, Joong-ryuk the one-punch man, and Yubin's weird facial expressions!

The art of natural comedy in thriller plot.

I loved every bit of this show. The art of keeping light-hearted comedy that feels natural instead of forced, even during sensitive and serious scenes, is portrayed best here. The chemistry of the whole team was fabulous. All in all, it's a 100+/10 show.

They covered really good problems people face in day-to-day life that we often ignore or don't consider how much they affect us and others. The best part about this show was how no crime coverage felt too dragged or too rushed. All of the crimes got solved at the perfect pace.

Also, I loved how they gave credits with camera rolls to even side characters. Now this is how film makers respect the cast.

Show I'd definitely watch again and again when life gets a little hard.

One of the Best comedy Action this Year!!!

First - The Main 5 Characters of this drama are really very good , They showed their Comic skills with Detective skills which I think is Very good.
Second - The story of Each character also has deep meaning which can add some emotions to the story.
Third - The Friendship between them was deep and as well as it was fun to watch
Fourth - The Victims also had their roles and special characters which gave good story
Fifth - I don't know whether I can say I had expected that the friend of the Hero is only the culprit but I dropped my Idea in midway but unexpectedly it became true .
Overall , I really liked the drama and it was really fun as the five of them explore everything and specially I liked every Undercover Operation . they were really hilarious.
I don't If it is Underrated but I really suggest to watch this to laugh and watch something light hearted with great story and acting.

A series to go anytime

I had my eyes on this series after watching a reel on Instagram, and I picked to watch it after a stressful times, so it may have had a greater impact on me. But here it goes:

A light-hearted drama about ordinary people trying to be ordinary, but end up being extraordinary together. Every character has a story, and a part of everybody's life takes up the form of a case, which takes up 1-2 episodes to crack.
I would say that it is somewhere similar to a slice of life, with lots of humour to it.
Each character has their own charm, and their new Chief finds it and believes in it:
"It is not perfectly invincible, but it has a charm to it"

It is not as serious as other crime thrillers like Tunnel, etc. or as funny as Laughter in Waikiki, but maybe that's what is really the charm of the series. Because it has a touch of mundaneness to it.
But I can say one thing- if the characters do grow on you, you will feel at home, definitely.

And yes, for some, it might be as charming or happening, but just one question there- whose life is?!

One of the best Kdrama of 2024

One of the best kdrama of 2024.

The cases are pretty solid though few of them are predictable specially the last case.

But what made this drama very good is the chemistry and bonded friendship between these misfit policemen and policewoman. One not very social leader and four crime division members that not that good solving cases at first. But they all had good intention to uphold law and catch the bad guys.

The comedy here are top notch. Lots of parodies here and there.

The pacing of this drama was very good. So many kdramas and jdrama and cdramas had amazing start but boring in the middle and rush ending. But not this one. It had Good start, better in middle and suprisingly long and good ending.

If you like police stories solving crime and bonded together, with sprinkle of laughter here and there, this is for you.

8.5 out of 10

Sleeper Hit for 2024 (comedy, suspense, action)

Sometimes I feel jaded by Kdrama Shows. It becomes formulaic after a while. Then along comes Seoul Busters. It literally busted my jaded attitude and now I am searching for similar new shows to watch.
Like with others have written, I too had little expectation for this show. Most of the main cast members are new to me. I have fallen very hard for Lee Seung Woo. For this reason I am writing this review.
How can a man be so charming, so goofy, so clumsy, and so sexy?!!
He has very little presence on social media. His own IG has very few followers. I think less than 40k. Please go and support him! He really stole the show for me. A close second will be the badass action sequences by Lieutenant Moo. I am so impressed by the fight sequences. And the loud voiced female Corporal was such a riot!!
Lee Seung Woo has mostly been in supporting roles. I hope this time he will be given more main roles. He is so versatile. And in episode 20 we see him bare chested. Oh my heart doctor will not be happy.
The show is fast paced, with good plot twists and great wrap up. Usually by the last episode when all the loose ends are tied up, I can’t wait to fast forward to the end. But with this drama I relished every second. I really hope there will be a season 2 and that everyone comes back to reprise their role. How will grandma Jang react when her grandson did not fulfill his promise? We need answers!!!
