Apr 03, 2024

MBC’s upcoming drama “Chief Detective 1958” has released a new teaser!

“Chief Detective 1958” will serve as a prequel to the classic Korean series “Chief Inspector,” which ran for 18 years from 1971 to 1989 and achieved an incredible peak of 70 percent ratings back in its heyday. While the original show was set in the 1970s and 1980s (present day at the time), “Chief Detective 1958” will be set even earlier, in 1958.

Lee Je Hoon will be playing a younger version of the titular chief inspector Park Young Han, who was played by Choi Bool Am in the original series. The drama also stars Lee Dong Hwi, Choi Woo Sung, and Yoon Hyun Soo as members of Park Young Han’s squad.

The first scene of the video shows Park Young Han with a fierce look in his eyes, making viewers believe that he is a tough police officer. However, the scenes that follow show that detective Park Young Han is not as tough as he seems.

In one scene, he challenges someone to a fist fight, only to get knocked out. Park Young Han boasts that he doesn’t feel pain no matter how much he’s hit, only to cry out in pain while getting beaten up by thugs. Another scene shows him cowardly running away from thugs right after vowing not to be a disgraceful police officer.

The teaser also gives a glimpse of the teamwork between detectives Park Young Han, Kim Sang Soon, Jo Kyung Hwan, and Seo Ho Jung as they are seen using every means necessary in their fight against injustice.
