Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, And More Transform Into Passionate Detectives In 'Chief Detective 1958' Poster

MBC’s upcoming drama “Chief Detective 1958” has dropped a new poster!

“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.

The newly released main poster features the four detectives—Park Young Han, Kim Sang Soon (Lee Dong Hwi), Jo Kyung Hwan (Choi Woo Sung), and Seo Ho Jung (Yoon Hyun Soo)— walking around the streets of Jongro in Seoul.

A tram is running in the middle of the street full of old-fashioned handwritten signboards, giving off the atmosphere of the 1950s. The text that reads, “In an era of barbarism, a humane investigation drama by real detectives,” foreshadows the great team work of the passionate detectives who will write new history.

The production team remarked, “We established the optimal lineup of Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, Choi Woo Sung, and Yoon Hyun Soo for the investigative drama. Please look forward to what differences there will be from the four detectives of the original [drama]. You can also look forward to the chemistry between the Jongnam Police Station’s detectives, who have different personalities and abilities.”

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama “Chief Detective 1958” will premiere on April 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
