MBC’s upcoming drama “Chief Detective 1958” has shared brand-new stills!
“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 newly released stills depict the first encounter between Lee Hye Joo and Park Young Han. Late at night, bookstore owner Lee Hye Joo is wrapping up her day when detective Park Young Han suddenly bursts in and shows her his police badge with an urgent expression.
The following set of stills captures romantic vibes between Park Young Han and Lee Hye Joo, who are left alone in the bookstore after a commotion. When Lee Hye Joo notices a cut on Park Young Han’s forehead, she takes out a handkerchief and carefully tends to his wound. Viewers will have to wait to find out what kind of relationship Lee Hye Joo and Park Young Han will develop following their chance encounter.
“Chief Detective 1958” will premiere on April 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
