Disney+ original series ‘Gangmaegang’ Kim Dong-wook wipes off his smile and gets serious.

The previous episodes 15 and 16 were exciting in that they depicted Dongbang Yubin (played by Kim Dong-wook) and the Violent Crimes Unit destroying an illegal gambling site organization and growing into a perfect team. However, when the illegal gambling site was implicated in illegal loan sharking and gangsters, making it difficult to arrest them, Dongbang Yubin took extraordinary measures to catch the boss of the MZ Alliance, Master. He formed the undercover gangster Dongbangpa. Dongbang Yoobin meticulously designs a build-up to make MZ Union‘s number two, Yoon Byun (played by Kim Bum Soo), come looking for the Dongbang faction in person, and the full cast of supporting characters in the violent crimes unit that led to the Dongbang faction, as well as the MZ gangster education, provide refreshing fun.

In the midst of this, the ‘Gangmaegang’ side released a still cut of Dongbang Yoobin, who has solved numerous cases with her sharp intuition and quick brain, investigating a case with a smile on her face.

In the photo, Dongbang Yoobin’s sharp charisma is intense as she is captured at a murder scene with a police line drawn. The face that feels somehow angry hints at the occurrence of an unusual incident. In particular, Dongbang Yoobin shows a surprised expression as if she found a clue left minutely on the face of the corpse, which increases curiosity about this murder case.

In the final episode of ‘Gangmaegang’, which will be released this week, Dongbang Yoobin‘s story, which has been shrouded in mystery, will be completely revealed. In the previously released trailer, Weightlessness (Park Ji-hwan) expressed his doubts about his past, saying, “Why would an elite detective who is doing well in America come to this remote place, to this violent crimes unit?”, and Dongbang Yoobin says, ”The methods are similar to when Jae-in (Han Dong-hee) was here. It seems like the culprit is the same person”, indicating that the real culprit who killed his lover and the real culprit of this murder case are deeply connected. It raises curiosity as to why Dong Bang Yubin came to Korea and what connection his past may have to this murder case.

Disney+’s original series ‘Gangmaegang’ is a comical investigative drama about the worst violent crimes unit in the country and an elite new unit leader coming together to form the strongest team. The final episodes 17-20 will be released on Wednesday, October 30.
