Chief Detective 1958 (2024)

By maandoe on June 30, 2024

Drama: Chief Detective 1958 (수사반장 1958)
Network: MBC
Episodes: 10
Release Date: April 19 - May 18, 2024
Runtime: Friday & Saturday 21:50
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea

Plot: A detective from Hwangcheon with a sense of justice transfers to Seoul and forms a team of detectives to help solve crimes.

Main Cast:
Lee Je Hoon - Park Young Han
Lee Dong Hwi - Kim Sang-Sun
Choi Woo Sung - Jo Gyeong-Hwan
Yoon Hyun Soo - Seo Ho-Jeong
Seo Eun Soo - Lee Hye-Ju
Choi Duk Moon - Yu Dae-Cheon

Review:
A passionate detective forming his ragtag team fighting injustice while solving cases is just right up my alley. Love Jehoon and Donghwi's partnership. Donghwi was so funny here even if he was also so serious.

I love that the timeline was based on actual historical events so it felt more authentic, down to the costumes and the entire set. I really felt like i was in Seoul 1958 and I could imagine how it was back then.

The meet cute between Younghan and his wife! I love Hye Ju, she was so pretty and sweet. She was the perfect match to Young Han. I appreciate how Hyeju was supporting him, even taking care of Younghan's victimes in his cases.

The original actor showing up as the present version and that last episode where he visited his original teammates got me teary eyed. I wonder what his son did (was he also police) because we only see the grandson (also played by LJH) - are they planning s2 of the prequel or will they jump to the grandson's storyline next?

Generally the cases were not that memorable or exciting. I watched this last month and I cant even remember the cases now except for the orphanage plot. I also didn't like the main villain and his story, although he did it scarily well.

Rating: 8.5/10
