    • Synopsis
    • The police narcotics team works hard day and night but their performance remains at an all time low, leading them to become the ugly duckling of the police force and potentially facing dismantlement. Captain Ko (Ryu) receives intel about an international drug deal and embarks on a risky undercover mission with his team. In order to establish round-the-clock and up-close-and-personal surveillance, the team takes over a rundown chicken joint across the street from the drug gang’s safehouse. But things take an unexpected turn when Detective Ma’s (Jin) yet unrevealed culinary talents begin to shine, turning the chicken restaurant famous overnight.

      When customers begin to flock in, undercover work gets pushed to the back burner in order for the detectives to focus on frying chicken. As a result, a drug deal is missed, even though it happens right under their noses. Now, with nowhere to go, the detectives launch a desperate mop-up operation.
