SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
The first case gives Dae-man and Tae-soo the same bickering amateur-professional detective partnership, playful clue-chasing, and escalating murder mystery, with a slightly more grounded origin-story feel.
02
Why this pick
This has the same buoyant comic-investigation momentum: an unlikely pair follows leads outside official channels, trading sharp banter while a case steadily becomes more urgent.
03
Why this pick
For the sequel’s light, crowd-pleasing mix of everyday comedy and sudden action, this sends an ordinary couple into a high-stakes crisis with brisk pacing and cheerful chaos.
04
Why this pick
A comic-book artist’s exaggerated imagination collides with a dangerous real conspiracy. Its cartoonish flair, escalating action, and underdog protagonist echo Dae-man’s imaginative amateur-detective appeal.
05
Why this pick
Though not a whodunit, it offers a similarly broad, energetic Korean buddy-comedy tone: a reluctant odd-couple dynamic, physical humor, and a crime plot that keeps raising the stakes.

01 / THE STORY
A comic book storekeeper, Dae-man, and the legendary homicide detective, Tae-soo, who met on previous case quit their jobs to open a private detective agency. Despite their high hopes, they soon find themselves with only trivial cases such as spouse infidelity, unpaid debt, and missing cats. Then one day, a woman walks into the office, wanting to find the truth behind the death of her fiance. Not only that, she also offers them a handsome reward of 50,000 dollars. Dae-man and Tae-soo see it as an opportunity to put their true detective skills to work. They bring onboard a third member, Yeo Chi, a Mensa genius and a small-time online private eye, and together they launch a full-fledged investigation on the case. As they dig into what initially appeared to be a straightforward case, disturbing new evidences turn up.
