Wow, our queen hasn’t done filming DD till several more weeks, yet she got an offer to play another main role in the second half of this year on OCN.  It’s the story about the investigators of the National Human Rights Commission.  She will investigate about those who violate on human rights, something like that.   I guess we might have our wish comes true if she plays detective, albeit it’s not police type but still.

 

The actor is Choi Ji-hwa.

Haha, LYW may lurk around this thread and know our wishes for her roles in movie/drama. Another wishing role may be granted soon ! 

I read in twitter that the drama's title is "RUNNING INSPECTOR" (literal title), and she's still positively considering a role in this drama, which would be aired in 2nd half of 2019. The title itself means that there will be many action scenes in the drama ? LYW is really in the mood of action dramas this year, I guess (if she accepts this OCN drama). From the plot, expect it's full of emotions too... well.

Lee Yo-won, Choi Gwi-hwa offered lead roles in OCN’s Running Investigators

by tipsymocha

 

Lee Yo-won, Choi Gwi-hwa

 

There’s something to be said about under-represented jobs getting the spotlight in dramaland, so I’m excited about this new drama in the works. OCN is starting to cast for its newest project, tentatively titled Running Investigators, and has offers out to Lee Yo-won (Buam-dong Revenge Club) and Choi Gwi-hwa (Suits), who are both positively considering taking lead roles in the show. If she accepts, Lee Yo-won will have a busy 2019, with her drama Different Dreams about to premiere in a few months’ time.

 

There aren’t that many plot details about Running Investigators as of yet, but it’s quite an unusual topic for OCN: The show will center around government employees of Korea’s Human Rights Commission and will follow them as they investigate reports of human rights violations in different corners of Korean society. It’s somewhat of a timely topic right now, given the current scandals plaguing the Korean entertainment industry and the country’s reckoning over its treatment of women.

 

These civil investigators don’t have the authority to compel anyone to comply with their investigations, and their findings don’t automatically result in criminal charges, but their work will shed light on those who have had their human rights violated. Which doesn’t sound all that satisfying to me right now, but I’m hoping that we get to see some kind of justice served in the course of the drama.

 

The show is being adapted from a collection of short stories written by author Song Shi-woo, released together under the Running Investigators title, that was released back in 2015. The book is labeled under the mystery genre, and each of the short stories involve a different human rights case that was modeled after real-life reports. I don’t know whether that makes this project more intriguing or more depressing, but the mystery label certainly explains the OCN connection.

 

OCN is planning on airing Running Investigators in the latter half of the year.

I also read a reference from DC the drama is based on the novel, and its writer has been working for 2 years for the drama.  I don’t think the title suggesting actions in terms of physical fighting, rather it’s implying investigating and shedding light on those whose human rights are violated.

there is another article abt this drama here

 

//quote//

"Running Investigator" will shed light on the lives of those who have their human rights infringed upon from the perspective of an inspector for the Human Rights Commission, who has neither the right to open a criminal investigation nor prosecute. They will take on the most serious cases in terms of severity and controversy, such as the abuse of power in public organizations and institutions.

The news includes character descriptions, but bear in mind that these come from the piece which falsely confirmed the two actors for their respective roles. 

 

Lee Yo-won has been offered the role of the heroine, Han Yoon-seo. Yoon-seo is someone who hates crossing the line, be it in her private or social life. She is someone who investigates based on the hard facts, adhering to her principles for neutrality and levelheadedness, even if they are misunderstood as lack of empathy.

 

Choi Gwi-hwa's is up for Kang Ho-joon, a prosecutor dispatched to the General Investigation department of the Human Rights Promotion Committee. Ho-joon has great concentration powers, and he believes that the body is what moves the mind. While he is more intelligent than this act-first-think-later mindset would betray, he is prone to missing things due to thinking and acting quickly, making the meticulous Yoon-seo an ideal partner.

QSD, there are potentially action scenes in this drama, although the guy is probably the one doing all the actions, why the heroin may just stand there, stare at him and shake her head.  

 

I already anticipate this drama more than DD, haha... stuff like this is always my cup of tea 

OCN made an introduction clip for this drama already, I watch the clip in a local page (not sure if you guys can open it)

 

 

[won lee]

You guys got new info even faster than the fans at Weibo.  Amazing!  Forgot to mention the new drama is planning to broadcast on mid Sep.  That’s good she has some few months off before filming again.  Thanks God only 6 plus weeks to go for DD, then couple months later after its ending we get to see her again.  Hurrah!  Thanks Your Majesty!

Apparently LYJ’s adoptive father is deputy director of the governor general hospital and/or director of the police force, according to google translation.  And all these while I’ve always thought he’s some kind of commander in chief of a whole army, who strategizing and directing his troops on how to approach in the battle field.  Probably someone could confirm one way or another from his uniforms.
