Aug 31, 2023

Seo Eun Soo has joined Lee Je Hoon in MBC’s new drama “Chief Inspector 1963” (working title)!

On August 31, MBC officially announced that Seo Eun Soo is confirmed to star as the female lead in its upcoming drama “Chief Inspector 1963.”

“Chief Inspector 1963” 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 Inspector 1963” will be set even earlier, in the 1960s. 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.

Seo Eun Soo will take on the role of Lee Hye Joo, the owner of the bookstore Jongnam Seorim who has exceptional beauty and is on top of everything. Lee Hye Joo is expected to play a crucial role in investigations by providing important clues with her knowledge of crime that she honed through reading mystery novels and with the help of informants who are the people in the neighborhood.

Seo Eun Soo debuted in 2014 through the short film “The Beginning of Murder” (literal title) and has since appeared in various films including “On Your Wedding Day,” “Kingmaker,” and “The Witch: Part 2. The Other One” as well as in dramas including “Unlock My Boss,” “Missing: The Other Side,” and “Legal High.”

“Chief Inspector 1963” is scheduled to premiere in 2023. Stay tuned!
