MBC recently shared a new poster of the upcoming K-drama Chief Detective 1958. Starring Lee Je-Hoon in the lead role, the series is about a passionate young detective fighting the rising corruption and his skilled team members.
Je-Hoon plays Detective Park Young-Han, who wants to take down corruption. He solves complicated cases with three colleagues — Dong-Hwi as Kim Sang-Soon, Woo-Sung as Jo Kyung-Hwan, and Hyun-Soo as Seo Ho-Jung. They are not regular detectives, as they use unique ways to solve their cases.
In the latest poster, Young-Han’s love interest is introduced. Actress Seo Eun-Soo will play his lover Lee Hae-Joo in Chief Detective 1958.
Here is the poster:
