Busted!

A motley crew of celebrity personalities tackle a new mystery every episode, turning famous variety show energy into an interactive whodunit. The regular cast, supported by rotating guests, follow clues, question suspects, and piece together scattered hints while improvising jokes and reacting to unexpected developments. Episodes mix short scripted set pieces with spontaneous game- show moments, so the tone flips from tense to silly in minutes. The format keeps each case self-contained, so you can jump into standalone episodes without worrying about long-term spoilers, while recurring relationships and running gags reward regular viewers.

Released in 2018, the series was created by Jo Hyo-jin and directed by Kim Joo-hyung and Jang Hyuk-jae, using a mix of staged mystery scenarios and variety show production techniques to shape each episode.

Audience response has been favorable, with a 7.8/10 average from 38 votes. Viewers often point to the cast chemistry and playful approach to problem solving as highlights, and the show leans into teamwork, puzzle logic, and comedic timing rather than serious crime drama.

The cast lineup, including Yoo Jae-suk, Park Min-young, Sehun, Kim Se-jeong, and Lee Kwang-soo, helped the show stand out by pairing well-known faces with an unusual format. That ensemble dynamic turned laugh-out-loud moments into signature bits, and the concept encouraged other variety programs to try mixing genre elements in new ways.

There are no widely reported major awards or international prizes attached to the series, but it built a loyal fanbase and steady word-of-mouth among viewers who enjoy lighthearted mystery and celebrity interplay.
