KBS announced that Let’s Get Grabbed by the Collar has been lined up on the upcoming schedule, with Kim Haneul (Kill Heel), Yeon Woo-jin (Daily Dose of Sunshine), and Jang Seung-jo (Death’s Game) headlining the mystery-thriller.

Based on an award-winning web novel by the same title, journalist Seo Jung-won (Kim Haneul) is our resident collar-grabbing heroine who can get a little invested when working on a scoop. Fired up by justice, she’s grabbed a few collars in her day when encountering the jerks who committed a crime.

When an intriguing murder case crops up, though, this leads Jung-won to collaborate with detective Kim Tae-heon (Yeon Woo-jin), who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend. Rough around the edges, Tae-heon is the type to always do whatever he wants, but is also considered the ace of his team.

Rounding out the threesome, token chaebol and novelist Seol Woo-jae (Jang Seung-jo) is Jung-won’s husband. Although he appears to have it all, he suffers from inner turmoil and his one safe space is with his wife. That is, until a recent string of events that start to unhinge his walls of security.

In supportive roles, the cast includes Jung Woong-in (Moon in the Day) playing Woo-jae’s dad and the conglomerate’s president, who doesn’t approve of his son’s marriage. But due to the tragedy in Woo-jae’s past, Dad is also softhearted when it comes to his son.

Poised to be our big bad, Yoon Je-moon (High Cookie) schemes against our justice-seeking Jung-won as a corrupt prosecutor turned politician. In contrast, the compassionate Han Chae-ah (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse) is a psychiatric hospital director who our heroine consults.

We also have Jung-won’s colleagues at work, with Kim Min-jae (Shadow Detective 2) playing her partner and cameraman, while Jung In-ki (Shadow Detective 2) plays her department superior.

Written by Bae Soo-young, with PD Lee Ho and PD Lee Hyun-kyung co-directing, KBS’s Let’s Get Grabbed by the Collar is slated to release in March.
