Watch: Lee Je Hoon And Lee Dong Hwi Are Passionate Detectives In "Chief Detective 1958" Teaser

Apr 10, 2024

MBC has released a preview of the first episode of “Chief Detective 1958”!

The drama 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.

Le Je Hoon will portray Park Yong Han, a passionate detective who boasts the highest arrest rate of petty thieves outside of Seoul, and Lee Dong Hwi will be playing Kim Sang Soon, a colleague detective nicknamed the “crazy dog” of Jongnam Police Station.

In the new teaser, Park Yong Han and Kim Sang Soon are teamed up along with two other detectives, fighting against corruption and abuse of power and overcoming various trials and tribulations along the way.

The drama will elicit a sense catharsis for viewers watching these passionate detectives catching criminals having in mind how limited the criminal investigation process was in the 1950s compared to the present.

The preview ends with Park Young Han being pulled out by other detectives and asked to return to his hometown as if having done something out of the norm, igniting further anticipation.

Check out the preview video below!

The first episode of “Chief Detective 1958” will air on April 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
