A prequel to a well-loved crime investigation series, Chief Investigator 1963 confirms Lee Je Hoon as the male lead.
The series is based on the national drama Detective Inspector which aired in the 1970s and 1980s and achieved viewership ratings as high as 70%.
Chief Investigator The Beginning (WT) is set 10 years earlier and will cover the younger days of detective Park Young-han, Korea’s representative fictional detective who received full support and love from viewers.
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.
The production team gives a glimpse of what to expect in Chief Investigator 1963.
“We plan to convey another charm to the viewers. In addition, the process of the fellow detectives who were loved in Detective Inspector becoming a team with Chief Park is also planned. Young Park Young-han gives viewers expectations as to what kind of process Lee Je Hoon will go through to transform into a righteous Chief Park.“
Always nailing his characters well, Lee Je Hoon has consistently proved his reliability as an actor. His notable works include Signal, Taxi Driver, and Move To Heaven.
Recently, in the SBS mini-series Taxi Driver 2, which recorded the highest viewer ratings this year, he demonstrated his acting as a ‘popular actor’ beyond the main character.
Expectations are high on how Lee Je Hoon, who is loved by the public for each work aims to commit himself as he portrays Chief Park, the quintessential standard for detective characters in Korea.
MBC’s retro crime investigation drama Chief Investigator The Beginning is set to begin filming soon.
