38 Revenue Collection Unit (Hangul: 38사기동대; RR: 38 Sagidongdae) is a South Korean television series starring Ma Dong-seok, Seo In-guk and Sooyoung. It replaced Vampire Detective and aired on cable network OCN on Fridays and Saturdays at 23:00 (KST) for 16 episodes from June 17, 2016 to August 6, 2016.
As of August 2016, it is the highest rated drama ever produced by OCN.
38 Revenue Collection Unit is motivated and received advice from "38 Tax Collection Division" (aka 38기동대: Task force 38) in Seoul Metropolitan Government.
The number 38 is from article 38 of Constitution of South Korea:
모든 국민은 법률이 정하는 바에 의하여 납세의 의무를 진다.
All citizens shall have the duty to pay taxes under the conditions as prescribed by Act.
The Korean title "사기동대 (sagidongdae)" is the combination of the words 사기 (sagi: fraud) and 기동대 (gidongdae: task force). In logo of this series, letter of 사기 is written in blue and underlined to emphasize.
The motto of the drama, "끝까지 사기쳐서 반드시 징수한다" (Swindle to the end, must be collected.) is parody of, the motto of 38 Tax Collection Division, "끝까지 추적하여 반드시 징수한다" (Trace to the end, must be collected.)
In the table below, the blue numbers represent the lowest ratings and the red numbers represent the highest ratings.
Note: This drama airs on a cable channel/pay TV which normally has a relatively smaller audience compared to free-to-air TV/public broadcasters (KBS, SBS & MBC & EBS).
