Old Thieves is an original play that was first performed in 1989. Everyone in Korea who loves the theatre knows it. First of all, the actors who went through the show are famous. Lee Sung-min of the drama Reborn Rich, Moon Sung-keun of Moving and Jin Sun-kyu of King the Land are some of the leading Korean actors currently dominating the OTT (Over The Top) media scene. They have risen to stardom on the strength of their acting alone. This season's cast includes Park Chul-min, who played such a witty role in the drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal and the film 1987, as well as Tae Hang-ho as the "less old thief" and Noh Jin-won and Jeon Jae-hyung as the "even older thief." They are all "scene stealers" who cross the boundaries between theatre, film and drama. In particular, Park Chul-min has been working on Old Thieves for 21 years, since 2003. He is one of the best improvisers and ad-libbers among Korean actors. In this performance, he shows off his talent to the fullest. The story begins with the "less old thief" and the "even older thief," released on special pardon for the president's inauguration, planning one last heist. But the place they've infiltrated is "his" art gallery. They are caught by the police and taken to an interrogation room, and this is where the real comedy of politics and current affairs begins. It's easy to see why these actors are among Korea's leading acting talents.
