Prekuel ya, bukan sekuel. Latarnya tahun 50an, kasusnya banyak diangkat dari kasus-kasus saat itu. Jadi lumayan tau cara kerja detektif yang minim teknologi buat ngungkapin kasus. Kasusnya selesai dalam dua episode. Cepet, sat-set dan banyak komedinya. Kirain seserius di trailer :))
Drakor seseru ini cuma 10 episode, sayang banget sik.

Cool retro-looking show
I enjoyed this show a lot and for numerous reasons:1) Lee Je Hoon. I really enjoy him as an actor. I liked him better in this than Taxi Driver, because I love when he's a little goofy.
2) The Team 1 detectives. Can we talk about the friendship chemistry they had going on? I really liked that we got to see what brought them into police work. There was no weak link in this group, each brought something special to the show and to the team.
3) Multiple cases. Though, more often than not, the cases were horrific and heartbreaking, I prefer that over one case throughout the whole show. The cases got darker as the episodes went along. I think at about episode 5 there was a warning at the beginning of each episode saying it was for mature audiences.
4) A good ending. This drama wasn't too long or too short. Personally, I like the 10-episode format, less filler. And this show could TOTALLY have multiple seasons!
5) Costuming. Really great job with all of the clothing.
6) Some of the episodes had further information at the end about what happened with the cases, or Korea at the time.
7) A female cop. Good addition.
8) Cute romance. Definitely not the focus, but I didn't feel like it was wasting my time.
9) The music. Very Austin Powers-ish.
Just a couple of shortcomings for me:
1) Team 2 detectives. Every one of them was corrupt, and it went all the way up the ladder. They were blatantly obvious that they were corrupt. To have that many corrupt cops seemed overkill.
2) At the end, when Je Hoon's character got promoted, everyone was celebrating, including Team 2. Why were they celebrating? That would be the end of the way that they do business.
For me, those were the only things that kind of diminished my enjoyment. This was a very well-done drama, with some comedy, lots of drama, a bit of romance, and a team of policemen always fighting for right.

It almost had me in confusion.
I enjoyed watching the series. I like how there wasn't just one bad guy that controls everything but multiple, showing how the world used to work. It almost had me forget that it was a retrospection of Yeonghan's memories.Nearly cried at the end cus he was all left alone when his friends and colleagues have already passed away.
Its a nice show to watch and keep you occupied with his own amazing story. There's action, drama and a little bit of romance. I recommend.
Thank you for reading my review.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
The actor who played the elderly YoungHan is the same one who played YoungHan in the series of the same name in the 70s and 80s. Another situation that moved me was that the actors who played YoungHan's companions in the 1971 series have already passed away.It was a drama with perfect setting, costumes consistent with the 50s and 60s, and we had a text with a more traditional and assertive humor. I found few episodes, I believe they could have easily had 16 episodes.
Moreover, I found the participation of actor Choi Bool Am delicate and sensitive, portraying the lonely YoungHan in 2024 and waiting for the moment to meet his companions.

A Masterpiece in Crime Drama
When I watched "Chief Detective 1958," directed by Kim Hyung-Sik, I was immediately captivated by its storytelling and atmosphere. Kim, a seasoned director, skillfully crafted a narrative that dives deep into the gritty, tense world of 1950s Seoul. His direction brings out the best in the actors and keeps the plot engaging and immersive.Cinematography:
Park Seung-Wook's cinematography is a visual treat, authentically capturing the era's essence. The strategic use of lighting and angles effectively portrays the suspenseful and often grim atmosphere of the city's streets and alleyways. This visual storytelling enhances the narrative, making each scene more vivid and compelling.
Acting:
The acting in this drama is top-notch. Lee Je-Hoon's portrayal of Park Young-Han is both powerful and relatable. He embodies the character's determination and vulnerability as he fights against corruption. Lee Dong-Hwi, playing the maverick detective Kim Sang-Sun, adds a dynamic and unpredictable element to the series. Their performances, along with those of Yoon Hyun-Soo and Choi Woo-Sung, are strong and nuanced, bringing their complex characters to life
Music:
The soundtrack, composed by B.B and Dasol, perfectly complements the drama's mood. The music heightens the tension and underscores emotional moments beautifully. Tracks like "100 Wins" by Seo Eun-Kwang of BtoB are particularly memorable and give a contemporary touch to the historical setting.
Rewatch Value:
"Chief Detective 1958" has significant rewatch value. Each viewing reveals new details and layers within the plot and characters. The detailed production design and the depth of the performances make it a series that remains engaging upon multiple watches.

If you like Crime, Action it's for you
As expected from Lee Je Hoon it's a really good Action drama with a strong and witty lead character. He managed to form a great team by using the people who are kinda disaster for other but he knows how to use people. Story line is going good so far without dragging the drama.About love story they kinda rush it but I am not complaining about it. It's actually amusing for me that they let them marry early and without any hurdles. That shows the simplicity of that time in my opinion which is really good.
If you didn't start that drama till yet go and watch it. It's a recommended drama.
Let's talk about the ending which is not happen yet. I hate sad ending and for this drama it's seems like it's a definitely a happy ending. Let's talk about the rest after ending the drama.

This kdrama just entered my top5
Past few weeks waiting for every weekend so I could watch new episodes was so much fun and even though it was only 10 episodes we went through so many stories with Unit 1 that I didn't even realize how short it is in reality!I must say that all of those stories and all of the characters were so well done made. I was bit confused by the ending but then I did little research and found out that actors of detectives of Unit 1 aren't here with us anymore so that ending made me tear up a little not gonna lie.
Anyways, I'll miss weekends with you Detective Park, Detective Kim, Detective Cho, Detective Seo and Chief Yu! I hope that in some universe you're together still investigating and catching the bad guys! I promise that one day I'll come back and spend the time rewatching this amazing drama again! Totally loved it!

The story is good but not satisfied the ending
The overall story of this drama is good from actors, story, production is on point however the ending was not satisfied. It left me hanging what happen to his team. After the promotion within the team, goes to the present day and they all dead like what happen?Overall, applaud to the actors, production team for a very good experience that justice can still serve with the right authority. We will just hope to this day that we can still hope to be served to common people.
