Moreover, it threads on how detective Park Young-han and three unique colleagues stand up to ugly crimes and become detectives for the people in the era of atrocity.
If Detective Inspector, led by Choi Bool-am was loved as a perfect detective, Lee Je Hoon’s young Park Young-han is a detective who struggles with fury at the reality of trampling on human dignity.
Lee Dong Hwi (Big Bet, Reply 1988) transforms into detective Kim Sang-soon, the ‘Crazy Dog’ at Jongnam Police Station, who is doomed if caught wrong. Born into a poor family and has only grit and courage, Sang-soon follows a “my way” attitude as a detective.
Just when he is exhausted from being filled with anger at the corruption-stained reality, Park Young-han, an outlandish detective who looks like an ox horn and does not compromise, appears and changes his life.
Lee Dong Hwi, who puts his own color on any character regardless of genre, from comedy to action, is looking forward to the new face he will show as Kim Sang-soon.
Taking the female lead role of Lee Hye-joo is the talented Seo Eun Soo (Unlock My Boss, Missing: The Other Side). Lee Hye-joo is the owner of a bookstore and has a personality that stands out with her outstanding beauty.
In particular, she foreshadows a key character, providing clues to her investigation with her intelligence based on the criminal knowledge she has honed in reading mystery novels and the people in the market.
