Why Chief Detective 1958 is a must watch

Who loves quirky crime thrillers....please raise your hand here as Detective Young Han is here.

Set in late 1950s Korea, it is the story of Young Han who gets promoted to Seoul after catching a maximum number of cow thieves in his hometown. As the upright, fun-loving straightforward 27-year-old steps feet in Seoul, he finds the world in the gutter. Instead of losing focus, he teams up with mad dog Guk Jin, and powerful Kwang Han to save the innocent.

Now after giving an insight of what the theme is, let's dive into facts that will keep you hooked to the story.
1. The period

You have to agree period piece stories exhume a different essence. The costume, the vibes, the music- everything exhibits a time that makes us smile and feel lost at the same time.

2. The storyline

Writer Kim Young Shin has left no stone unturned in penning a prequel to "Chief Inspector." You know the biggest element of a period piece is to keep the aura alive. You are watching 1958...you want to feel the era yet you do not want to feel left out as this is 2024. The director understood the assignment he had been shouldered with and each corner and nook of the story will surely make you feel nostalgic but not left out.

3. The cast

As I heard the name Lee Je Hoon, I heard awesomeness. This man does not settle for less. From his role as the inspector in the time capsule series Signal to his effervescent performance in Taxi Driver, he is the OG actor of the Korean drama industry. His subtle chemistry with Youth of May girl Seo Eun So is soft and warm. Lee Dong Hwi, and Choi Woo Sung in pivotal roles add the necessary layer to this tiny series.

If you like Crime, Action it's for you

As expected from Lee Je Hoon it's a really good Action drama with a strong and witty lead character. He managed to form a great team by using the people who are kinda disaster for other but he knows how to use people. Story line is going good so far without dragging the drama.

About love story they kinda rush it but I am not complaining about it. It's actually amusing for me that they let them marry early and without any hurdles. That shows the simplicity of that time in my opinion which is really good.

If you didn't start that drama till yet go and watch it. It's a recommended drama.

Let's talk about the ending which is not happen yet. I hate sad ending and for this drama it's seems like it's a definitely a happy ending. Let's talk about the rest after ending the drama.
