Day 19: drama that made me laugh

Sadly can't think of an out right funny drama. But one that had me chuckling at the camaraderie was #ChiefDetective1958

@bougiewonderland

I feel like D+ doesn't get the same quality of dramas that other sites may carry. Yet? 1 that I did like on their site was #ChiefDetective1958. Less reliant on romance and more of a buddy/cop feel.

I'm going in....S1E1

@hanktank61 There are storylines involving the US military presence, lots of government corruption, and I think thereโ€™s one coming with protests against Syngman Rhee as the backdrop. And you see poor people in the country wearing traditional clothes. Also the newspaper, lots of signs, and even writing on the chalkboard in the cop shop in Chinese characters instead of Hangul - Iโ€™m curious about that! #kdrama #ChiefDetective1958
Just started #ChiefDetective1958 so I donโ€™t know how the story is going to be, but itโ€™s very cool to see a different era of Korea depicted. I keep stopping it to look at backgrounds and the clothes ๐Ÿ˜› #Kdrama

Chief Detective 1958 review by Yohan Yuki Xieใ†์‚ฌ์š”ํ•œใƒป่ฌ้›ช็Ÿข

This was a tribute to the original show and actors. * Detective/Inspector Park was played by Choi Bool Am in the original and the 2023/older version. * Detective Kim played by Kim Sang Soon in the original passed away in 2015. * Detective Jo played by Jo Kyung Hwan passed away in 2012. * Detective Nam played by Nam Sung Hoon passed away in 2002. Special mention: * Actors Lee Kye In and Song Kyung Chul, were also in the original. They appeared in the last episode of this show. I hope they release a sequel. They can do it two ways: 1. Another prequel set before the original โ€œChief Detective 1971โ€. 2. Remake the 1971 original. 3. A sequel of 1971, set sometime later. 4. A modern 2023/2024 version. Continue the story line of the present time. This time, focusing on Park's descendants, and telling us the other case stories through his grandson. If they'll choose to do a 2023/2024 version next, then those past case stories can become the 3rd sequel/prequel. For example, it will tell the story of Park's son. Was he a detective as well? How much did he adore his father, the cow-thief detective? What were his achievements? Doing that way will fill in the gap as to how original Park's grandson became a detective, which is his father (or son of original Park). There are plenty of ways they can go about this. And I hope they will.

I am really enjoying #ChiefDetective1958 on D+

BUT

I dislike this feeling of weary anticipation. You've just finished watching an amazing drama, in this case #QueenOfTears, and now you wait for the next special thing. You're not content with picking up anything that stirs only a mild interest. So you delve back into favourites which you know will nurture your kdrama soul without breaking your heart๐Ÿ˜‚

I may start rewatching 2014s#FatedToLoveYou (aka You Are My Destiny) with #JangHyuk and #JangNaRa. Also starring #ChoiWooShik and #NaYoungHee who played Hae In's mother on QOT,

#kdrama #ChiefDetective1958

4 eps up now on D+. Only going to be 10 eps.
Watched the first one tonight. Really enjoyed it. Reminds me alot of the cop shows of the 70s. I think I am going to like it.
