The legendary drama “Chief Detective” will return in 2024 as a new prequel.
“Chief Detective,” a representative Korean detective drama that aired 880 episodes from 1971 to 1989, set a record for the highest viewership rating of 70% at the time of its broadcast. The main characters who played detective roles for about 20 years in the drama were so popular that they became honorary police officers after the drama ended. For the past 10 years, there have been constant rumors about a new season, but it was only in 2024 that the official broadcast of the new season was confirmed. The “Chief Detective 1958” being released this time is said to be a prequel that tells the story of the main character, Detective Park Yeong-han, before he became Chief Detective.

The original “Chief Detective” is a drama that depicts the heroic deeds of Detective Park Yeong-han as he solves real-life cases. It’s also a work that allows us to see how detectives solved cases in the past when there were no proper scientific investigation methods, CCTV, which are now common, or professional profiling techniques.

It’s also curious to see how this drama will differ from his previous characters.
The news that Choi Bul-am, the actor who played the main character in the original “Chief Detective,” will make a special appearance in the new season has also been a hot topic. It’s exciting to see how Choi Bul-am, who played the main character, Detective Park Yeong-han, in the original work, will meet the younger version of Detective Park Yeong-han played by Lee Je-hoon in the drama.
In addition, writer Park Jae-beom, who wrote “Manager Kim,” “The Fiery Priest,” and “VINCENZO,” which are known as the “Justice Trilogy,” has joined as a creator, raising expectations for the drama.
“Chief Detective 1958” is expected to bring back memories for those who watched the original work 50 years ago and provide fresh entertainment for younger generations. Will the new season be able to carry on the legacy of the original work? “Chief Detective 1958” is scheduled to air as a follow-up to the Friday-Saturday drama “Wonderful World,” starring Cha Eun-woo, which is scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2024.
