A new Korean version of Leverage. As linked by original series EP Chris Downey.
Having seen the opening two-parter (which covers the same basic ground as the original pilot in twice the time) the riffs are pretty varied. It looks to be setting up a super-conspiracy Big Bad. The Thief being a slinky cat burglar and the Hacker being geeky are archetypes and their angry ex partner dynamic is different (although the Thief goes for the taser as well) and the Hitter is more different still, but the Mastermind being an art insurance investigator drawn in to do one job because of an experimental treatment for his son’s terminal disease and the Grifter being a terrible actress he chased before are rather more specific to the source...
