On the 4th, MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Chief Detective 1958" released a still from the passionate detective duo Park Yeong-han (Lee Je-hoon) and Kim Sang-soon (Lee Dong-hwi).

"Chief Detective 1958" is a prequel of "The Investigation Team Leader", which writes the history of Korean-style investigations, and begins in 1958 when Detective Park Yeong-han was appointed to Seoul. In the era of barbarism, detective Park Yeong-han, who specializes in arresting small thieves, joins a team with three unique colleagues to break the extraordinary equation of corruption power with common sense and become a detective for the people. The retro criminal investigation drama with romance and joy of analog investigation brings a different catharsis to the younger generation and another fun impression to the generation who remembers Chief Park's performance.

Above all, the synergy of acting between Lee Je-hoon and Lee Dong-hwi is one of the highlights. Among them, the released photos show the meeting between Park Yeong-han and Kim Sang-soon. Park Yeong-han, who has just moved to Seoul and entered the Jongnam Division, approaches first and reaches out as if he feels instinctive sympathy toward Kim Sang-soon, the 'mad dog', The two shots of Park Yeong-han, who affectionately puts his hand around his shoulder, and Kim Sang-soon, who folds his arms with a grumpy face, herald the beginning of a legend.

However, despite the two detectives' infuriating passion, spirit, full confidence, and bluffing, investigations sometimes go up in smoke and sometimes get counterattacked. Unlike their resolute action to beat the bad guys, the distorted facial expressions of the two who are beaten in the back of their heads and their quirky and sly manner in which they come into the investigation team office and take salute with lollipops in their mouths, arouse the audience's laughter. The combination play of Park Yeong-han and Kim Sang-soon, which will bring a fresh wave of excitement to the regions of the Jongnam Division and Jongno, raises expectations.

Regarding Lee Dong-hwi, Lee Je-hoon said, "I've known him personally, but I have never worked with him for so long. Through this work, I learned that he is a colleague who is more supportive than anyone else. It was fun and fun to see actor Lee Dong-hwi's acting up close with the character Kim Sang-soon. I didn't need to say much because we connected very well and we were laughing all the time". Lee Dong-hwi, who previously picked Lee Je-hoon as the decisive reason for choosing the work, also said, "I learned a lot and relied on actor Lee Je-hoon, who plays the role of the leader. I also decided I want to be like him".

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Chief Detective 1958" will premiere at 9:50 PM on the 19th.
