MBC’s upcoming drama “Chief Detective 1958” has dropped a new poster featuring Lee Je Hoon and Seo Eun Soo!
“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.
The drama will follow the story of Park Young Han (Lee Je Hoon), a passionate detective who boasts the highest arrest rate of petty thieves, as he teams up with three charismatic colleagues to break the norms of corruption.
Seo Eun Soo will play the role of Lee Hye Joo, the beautiful and knowledgeable owner of the bookstore Jongnam Seorim.
The released poster shows an old and faded photo of Lee Hye Joo and Park Young Han captured against the backdrop of Lee Hye Joo’s bookstore Jongnam Seorim. They are portrayed affectionately holding each other’s hands tightly with smiles on their faces.
The production team of “Chief Detective 1958” commented, “Please look forward to the meeting of Lee Je Hoon and Seo Eun Soo, who will bring excitement with their acting and chemistry,” adding, “The warm and exciting romance will further enrich the drama.”
“Chief Detective 1958” will premiere on April 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
