Lee Je Hoon's Chief Detective 1958 Sets The Highest Viewership Rating for a Pilot Episode in the History of MBC Friday-Saturday Drama

No more Wonderful World every Friday-Saturday of the week but we got a replacement to quench our thirst in watching Kdrama as Chief Detective 1958 has taken on its time slot. This is a drama that revolves around Park Yeonghan who is a detective from Hwangchun Police Substation and was transferred to Seoul to catch the gangsters led by Lee Jungjae and Im Hwasoo alongside their unit chief Yu Dae Cheon (Choi Duk Moon). Yeonghan has high hopes to make the world a better place by catching the bad guys only to end up disappointed when he couldn't restore peace in Seoul due to corruption inside the police. That's when he, with the approval of unit chief, decided to recruit people to set things right in Jongnam. That's how he met and added the biter Kim Sang Sun (Lee Dong Hwi), strong guy Jo Gyeong Hwan (Choi Woo Sung) and smart guy Seo Ho Jeong (Yoon Hyun soo) in their team. 

After watching the first 2 episodes, I already am willing to stick with it till the end because of its promising start. I know that if it's Lee Je Hoon in the drama, it means that it's all worth watching! For real, I have high expectations for this one and so far I am not disappointed. 

The first episode recorded a remarkable 10.1% nationwide viewership ratings which became the highest rating for MBC Friday-Saturday drama history. Ain't that fantastic, setting up a record on its first episode! wow! However, 2nd episode went lower since it's competing to a giant drama who has a lot of following which is Queen of Tears. Still, 7.8% nationwide viewership rating is still high! I can't wait for more episodes to come out every week for me to watch! yay!
