Busted i know who you are đánh giá năm 2024

, but sadly we don’t. The show revolves around a team of seven entertainment stars who investigate a different case each episode while trying to solve an overarching conspiracy about the mysterious Project D.

The cases play out in locations as far-flung as Jeju Island, and feature cameos by well-known Korean stars as characters involved with the mystery. To enhance their deductions, the team often have to win games or missions before these characters will give them a clue.

Shows like Running Man and Family Outing pioneered a format for variety that blended outdoor activity and indoor comedy; they found that putting recognisable faces in extreme situations attracts more viewers than having them sitting in a studio talking.

This is how Keys to the Heart is more than just another weepy K-drama: it’s a wonderful film about family and acceptance

Busted was made by the same producers as Running Man and stars two of its most bankable stars, Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwang-soo. However, this is precisely its failing. When Running Man first burst onto the scene, it combined real, action-packed scenarios with comedic banter in a way that hadn’t been seen before. However, Busted demonstrates none of the skill and finesse it must’ve taken to strike that fine balance. When contestants aren’t busy hamming it up in reaction to a crime scene, they’re being deliberately flippant and forced with jokes and gags.

Despite its marketing and branding as a whodunit mystery show, Busted does not even pretend to attempt to combine comedy and mystery, opting instead to rely on safe, easy clichés; the mystery merely seems a weak frame to hang subpar comedy off of. While part of that can be attributed to growing pains, viewers are sure to want to cut the show off at the root, and make sure it can never reproduce again.

This was so much fun to watch! The episodes only got better as the season went along. It's so easy to binge this but I was able to force myself to take a break and use this as my breather from the heavy dramas I'm currently watching. I RARELY watch these kinds of variety shows (only watched one in it's entirety) but now I have to be on the look out for more. The cast just got along with each other so well and never did an episode past that I would not be literally laughing out loud. Random stars would just show up and it was such a pleasant surprise that they would take part in something so silly. I totally recommend this if you want some laughs and just something to take your mind of things.

I absolutely adore this fantastic show. It blends genres effortlessly with its comedy at the forefront.

It's a mixture of escape room and murder mystery. For anyone that has played a street-based murder mystery game, it'll feel very familiar.

I saw one user complaint about scripted elements. Yes there is a fictional narrative to this show, but for me it's always very clear when that is happening. For the most part the cast are just going along for the ride and solving the mystery. When the scripted elements do happen, it blends effortlessly with the natural comedy. They aren't getting them to stage things and pretend they are real, it's always just very clear when you're watching scripted and when you're not. They don't try to cheat you, they trust you to know the difference.

The cast is fantastic. Their chemistry is what carries the show more than anything. Again in another review I saw someone lamenting their "celeb" status. Well I know none of them, at all. All I know is they get on brilliantly and the banter and comedy is just brilliant. You can't script that dialogue or the fun they are clearly having. That's magic that is hard to create in a TV show.

The subtitler is genius. The comedy also shines through in the various on screen graphics, with lots of dry humour normally at the expense of the cast. It's hard for humour to translate in written text, but whomever did this gets it brilliantly.

Other nice things are that there's an ongoing story arc across the season, I get to see South Korea, from cities to strange islands, and the music is great too.

The 90 minutes run time is sometimes a bit intimidating, and I wish they broke them into two part 45 minute episodes perhaps. But that's not a deal breaker by any means.

All in all I can't recommend this enough if you love a good laugh. It's slapstick, it's silly... don't watch it if you aren't amused by humour that is at times childish. But if you do go in with the right mind you'll see an entertaining show with an engaging cast.

Hillarious

I didn't realize when I first started watching it how much I'd fall in love with this show, but by the second episode I was hooked. The chemistry between the cast is great, and watching them solve the puzzles/mysterious is fascinating. I've laughed so much and grown so attached to the characters--can't wait for season 2!

Great show

I started watching this show not having any idea what the format was like or that all the actors were celebrities, and by the time I completed the first episode, I was hooked. This show is amazing because it's partly scripted and partly improvised.

The chemistry between the characters is fun to watch, and as the show goes on the actors start getting more comfortable with one another. Each member brings their unique skill to the team. It's also nice to see that the two women (Min-young and Se-Jeong) on the team carry them through many challenges and puzzles using their smarts and bravery while the men stand on the sidelines. And both of them get their hands dirty to make sure that they get results. Jae-suk leads the team and makes sure that they are on task. Lee Kwang-soo and Jong-Min are the comedic relief but also somehow will solve a solution once in a while that has the team stumped though usually, they do not contribute much to the solving of crimes. Sehun's competitiveness comes out super charming and infectious. He tends to be quiet, but two things seem to get him out of his shell: competition Ans Lee Seung-gi. He's the most mature of this group and the most helpful. You can tell that there are times that he does not want to do something or might be a bit scared, but when he sees that no one else will do the task, he steps up and willingly completes it (He is my favorite character on this show). Detective Ahn is the serious and quiet type and helps them keep things on track. And the new addition, Lee Seung-gi, brings athletics into the group but tends to be a bit more carefree and fun.

The mysteries on the show are like escape room-type puzzles, and some of them are in Korean or Chinese, so they can be difficult to follow while others, can be solved. Most of the mysteries or crimes on the show seem like they are just for that one episode, but in the end, they tie them all together.

The first season's plot was not great. Some of the storylines did not make sense, and you could tell they tried hard to make everything connect. The things that kept me watching were the characters and the challenges that they completed. But the second and third season was amazing. There was a clear plot and mystery solved in the last episode though the ending felt open-ended. Though some episodes were not part of the overall story, there were still elements that connected to a larger plot. This season seemed like a whodunit, and there were clues sprinkled throughout the whole season helping you solve the case. I did not figure out who it was until five seconds before the reveal (not sure that counts) but looking back, there were more than enough clues as to who the killer was from the first episode.

Overall, would highly recommend this show. It's a fun watch that's lighthearted even with all the murder going on you are just detached from it because it looks so fake."

So much fun!

Busted has some things to move past. The weird titles that occasionally pop up and the puzzles that the audience don't really have time to solve (But letting us have that would take a lot of time.)

Once you understand that Busted is here for just good fun it is fantastic. The lead cast are fantastic. My friends and I had no idea about any of the cast before watching the show and we fell in love with them all. The show has a fun story-line and every episode is unique and fun in their own right.

For those who don't know the show is an improvised detective show and in each episode the cast has to solve a murder. Honestly it's great fun and you should give it a chance.

Entertaining:)

I think this show is like variety-drama detective problem solver, which also makes you think about how solve the problem with them, in a very funny-realistic way. Which is unique, 'cause i never see any show like this before. The casts play the roles very well, and the guest also play the roles very well too. This situation makes people who never sees them before, doesn't know that they actually know each other from other show too..

Amazing show , innovative content, great cast

The show isn't like any other ordinary k-variety ,because it mixes the tensions of mystery solving drama plot and the humour of Korean variety stars. Also the show is the first Netflix original being produced and released in South Korea, with 56 guest stars, and 7 star detectives. The décrives are given no script, so they act purely on intuitions. The show airs 4pm KST on Fridays, and two episodes are aired at a time. It's magical !

A show with an identity crisis

Wow, where to begin... The show has star power, which may draw much attention. However, some of the top talent in the show have become famous for just being themselves in various variety shows. Placing them in these highly scripted situations take them out of their natural element and completely wastes their talent. The episodes that have aired so far have very mediocre story lines and very little entertainment value. Cameo appearances by other Korean celebs is the only intrigue each episode offers. I really cannot recommend this show to anyone...

Fun To Watch - Stars Take On Murder Mysteries to Solve

Love to watch this fun murder mystery show with an all-star cast. It is a little different in that it is like they are going to a murder mystery party but way, way, elevated in that the sets are extremely realistic and some of it is scripted (obviously the parts of the one's who are putting on the mystery) and some if it is spontaneous by the actors as they try and figure out clues, etc and interact with each other. Don't know if it is true or not, but it is mentioned a few times they they get pay or bonus' by solving the crimes. Of course, my favorite 2 stars are Lee Seung-gi and Sehan. They are both so good at solving clues and Sehan gets really better, especially in the 3rd season. It's a nice show, because you can watch some, come back to it later and still remember what when on previously. Fun to try and solve yourself and come up with theories yourself as well as you go along.

Why? :(

It is definitely star studded and I am a fan of most of the members from their previous work but this is way too scripted and its not really like a variety shows it's more like a drama trying hard to be a variety show or something. It's sad, had high hopes for it...
