Premiere Watch: Chief Detective 1958
by missvictrix
Time slot: Friday-Saturday
Broadcaster: MBC
Genre: Action, mystery, drama, crime, human
Episode count: 10
Global streamer: Disney+
Reasons to watch: It feels like it’s been forever in the making, and hyped for even longer than that, but the remake of the long-running Chief Inspector series from the 1970s and 80s has finally met 2024. Except not really, since the drama takes us back in time to 1958, and will act as a prequel to the original series. Because there’s nothing quite like taking a dated, classic TV show and putting some fresh film-making and, you know, Lee Je-hoon in there. Joined by Lee Dong-hwi, Yoon Hyun-soo, and Choi Woo-sung, this drama promises us a bit of everything. And that’s exactly what I’m counting on. (If the fun they’re having at the press conference sets the tone, we’re in good shape.)
TL;DR: Lee Je-hoon is back serving more justice, this time in 1958 with his ragtag team of cops

My autocorrect has its own English. Even when I went to correct it in the next comment, it corrected fiesty to Fiesta again.

Does anyone see any sign of this show on Disney+? I couldn't find anything yet. Not even a thumbnail.

I had clicked on set alert some time back. It should (ideally) show up on watchlist when the episode drops.

No sign of it on Hulu in the US yet, or any info when I googled how to watch it. It’s not looking good for access.

No, it's not on the "coming in April 2024" list for Hulu. https://press.hulu.com/schedule/april-2024/
However (하지만), I see it on the May schedule. May 22. Looks like a single drop.

I will watch this come hell or high water. If Hulu won't help me out, the dark side will!
