Stealer: The Treasure Keeper is a South Korean drama that features many familiar faces like Joo Won, Lee Joo-woo, Jo Han-Chul, Kim Jae-won, Lee Deok-Hwa, and Choi Hwa-Jung and this drama was written by Shin Kyung-Il and directed by Choi Joon-Bae.
The hero of the drama is Skunk, a thief, who specializes in cultural assets, but he is actually a public servant known as Hwang Dae-Myung ( played by Joo Won) and works in the Special Investigation Division of the Cultural Heritage Administration.
A boring servant by day and a thief that causes headaches to authorities by night, what an interesting life. But, his double life is under threat as he is suspected of having a connection with Skunk (aka himself).
We also see a collaboration between Skunka and Karma, an unofficial cultural assets recovery team. Trouble came because of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s cultural heritage team. Let’s see how the man with two lives survives this crisis, or maybe he won’t.
Recap of Episode 2 of Stealer: The Treasure Keeper
Episode 2 of Stealer begins with the cultural heritage team of Seoul Metropolitan Police having a team dinner; they brief Min-woo, who expresses her delight in working with the team. The members inform her about categorizing the thieves based on their specialization.
Goltong, this category steals antiques; they are middleman buyers; Dilbari is the next group introduced. They deliver stolen artifacts using clever methods; the Magicians help people hide their goods; phoenixes are Personal Buyers. The last category is Goldo, which Steals artifacts.
Min-woo is also briefed about our main man, the one and only ‘Skunk.’ He is named Skunk because he leaves a bad-smelling gas behind after his operation. But he is not working alone. Skunk gets information on the place he is about to rob from a woman (referred to as Lee), who simultaneously keeps a watch on the property with the help of a drone, and from where she is surveilling is unknown to the police department.
Skunk wears a mask not just to hide his identity but also to access the data sent by Lee through his mask. We also see how they work in this episode through a robbery they are conducting.
As Skunk is using a zip line to get to the property, he is warned by Lee not to touch the ground because it will result in him getting electrocuted and will also set the alarm off. He uses his mask to estimate his jump and executes it, but almost trips and falls.
Once he is able to make it inside the building (belonging to Mr. Choi, whose fingerprint he obtained earlier own), Skunk and Ms. Lee try to find the artifact but cannot locate it. They are interrupted by a doorbell, but Ms. Lee manages to scare off the person. With the help of the mask and his own ability, Skunk is able to open a secret door and find the artifact.
Meanwhile, Min-woo is shown the artifacts stolen by Skunk and reveals that Skunk sends stolen artifacts to them, but explains they still have to arrest him because he is a thief.
There is also a showdown between Skunka and Min-woo, but he manages to escape. We are shown how Ms. Lee and Skunk started working together. We are also shown a flashback regarding the murder of Chairman Yand and Skunk’s childhood. We are also shown a brief moment of past interaction between the Captain and the Skunk.
The episode ends with Skank in his suit investigating Chairman Yang’s place; the Captain, also investigating the house, notices Skank from the surveillance room. Captain traps Skank in a corner and points the gun at him.
