On the 4th, before the broadcast of the 6th episode, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Investigation Chief 1958’ released still cuts that give an idea of the passage of time and changes in the era. It is significant to see what kind of backlash Baek Do-seok (played by Kim Min-jae), who has been appointed as the new chief, will cause, and the expression on Park Young-han’s (and played by Lee Je-hoon ) is associated with complex and subtle emotions.
In the last broadcast, the death of Seongchil (Eom Jun-ki), a young man who runs a rice cake shop in Jongnam Market, was depicted. Park Young-han and the detectives were convinced that Viper Lee (=Eo Sam-ryong, played by Kang In-kwon) from the Dongdaemun squad was the culprit. However, despite the National Forensic Service autopsy, securing evidence, and the viper’s confession, he was rarely caught.
Lee Jeong-jae (played by Kim Young-seong), the leader of the Dongdaemun faction, took a separate step to prevent the issuance of a warrant. Accordingly, Park Young-han conducted a trap investigation with the help of American soldier Steve (Lee Woo-joo), and managed to arrest the vipers by using the American soldier attack incident as a hostage for Lee Jung-jae. Park Young-han’s constant rhetoric that “there is no one in this world who cannot be caught” warmed the hearts of the viewers.
Among these, the photo released on this day shows the new appearance of the Jongnam Police Station and the detectives of the first investigation team in 1961, three years later. The deep and firm eyes of Park Young-han (played by Park Young-han), who has completely discarded his ‘hillbilly detective’ tag, Kim Sang-soon (played by Lee Dong-hwi), who has a more intense aura, and Cho Kyung-hwan (played by Choi Woo-sung) and Seo Ho-jeong (played by Yoon Hyun-soo), who joined the ranks of seasoned detectives after their days as rookies.
Meanwhile, Baek Do-seok, the next chief, who will succeed Choi Dal-sik (played by Oh Yong), appears at the Jongnam Police Station, constantly protected by the four detectives. Baek Do-seok, who displays a rather cool charisma, is a former lieutenant colonel who was linked to Lee Jung-jae through military force. Baek Do-seok reacts to the police salute at the appointment ceremony. It raises questions about how he came to be the chief of the Jongnam Police Station and what is the reason for Park Young-han’s angry eyes.
The production team of ‘Investigation Team Leader 1958’ said, “As three years pass, we are faced with various changes. “Just as the Jongnam Police Station is going through turmoil from episode 6, the overall atmosphere of the drama will also change significantly.”
Meanwhile, the highest minute viewer rating for the 5th episode of ‘Investigation Squad Leader 1958’ was 11.0%, the household viewer rating was 9.5% nationwide and 9.1% in the metropolitan area, and the 2049 viewer rating was 2.6 %. The drama came in first in viewership ratings among households in the metropolitan area among all programs aired on Friday.
