Did you not start the thread for the same drama already? I think it is the same drama (tv network,  genre, cast)  but with a different name. Maybe I am wrong.

 

The drama is named Silence

Watch: Upcoming JTBC Crime Drama Shares Glimpse Of The Difficult Life Of Detectives In 1st Teaser

DRAMA PREVIEW

Jun 1, 2020

by L. Kim

 

On June 1, JTBC released a first look at the upcoming drama “Model Detective” (literal translation)!

Starring Son Hyun Joo, Jang Seung Jo, and Lee Elijah, “Model Detective” is a crime investigation drama about detectives who never give up in their quest to uncover the ugly truth, and it will portray the real world of detectives who want to catch the culprit no matter what.

Son Hyun Joo will play Gang Do Chang, a detective of 18 years who is armed with toughness and loyalty unique to the investigative team. His investigative methods are based on experience and personal connections rather than scientific investigation or excellent reasoning.

Jang Seung Jo will take on the role of Oh Ji Hyuk, an elite detective of nine years who does not share his feelings with others due to pain he experienced when he was young. He is not swayed by money and power, even with the huge wealth he inherited from his uncle.

Lee Elijah will be Jin Seo Kyung, a reporter of five years at Jeonghan Daily, one of the four major daily newspapers, in Gyeonggi Province. She is often misunderstood due to her fiery personality, but she firmly pushes through her ideas without being daunted by any external pressure.

The teaser starts off with a man’s voiceover, asking, “Do you know what’s the most efficient way to cover up a case? it’s getting rid of the victim forever.” On screen, a watch drops onto the ground as a man drags a dead woman out of a car.

One day, someone calls Gang Do Chang and nonchalantly confesses, “I kidnapped and killed a girl.” Gang Do Chang can’t ignore this, and he vows to get the one behind it, saying, “If I keep silent, too, there will be no one else to talk to.” He then angrily demands, “Don’t you feel sorry for the dead? Don’t you have any conscience?”

The teaser also unveils three other characters. Oh Ji Hyuk ruthlessly goes after criminals as his voiceover calmly claims, “We don’t have time. Don’t waste your emotions on something useless.” Oh Ji Hyuk’s cousin Oh Jong Tae (Oh Jung Se) looks distrustfully at Oh Ji Hyuk, while reporter Jin Seo Kyung gazes off into the distance with a concerned expression. The ambiguous mysteriousness increases the curiosity of the drama’s unpredictable development.

New crime thriller series The Good Detective is set to grace the television screens in July. So far, the creators of the drama have already enticed the viewers with the release of some interesting teasers.

Starring Son Hyun Joo and Jang Seung Jo as the main leads, The Good Detective tracks the pursuit of truth behind a criminal case. The case is lead by a team of two detectives with different backgrounds and personalities. The drama also features Lee Elijah, Oh Jung Se, and Ji Seung Hyun in pivotal roles.

 

Kang Do Chang (Son Hyun Joo) is a detective who has an experience of 18 years. Some time before his promotion screening, he gets partnered with a new detective. The person in question is detective Oh Ji Hyuk (Jang Seung Jo), who is said to have graduated with the top rank from his University. Though it is only his 9th year in the police department, his rank is higher than that of Kang Do Chang.

 

Together, the two detectives use their methods to solve crime mysteries. The combination of a veteran detective Kang Do Chang and his new partner, a rich elite detective Oh Ji Hyuk, holds great expectations.

THE MYSTERY MURDER CASE

The first teaser video begins with the voice-over of a man who asks, “Do you know what is the most efficient way to cover the truth of the event? It is getting rid of the victim forever.”

 

In the scene, there is a car passing a road on a night of heavy rain. The car stops, and in the midst of it, a watch gets dropped. Meanwhile, someone drags a body outside a car. After that, the next scene shifts to Lee Dae Cheol (Cho Jae Yoon) getting arrested as the culprit of the incident.

 

Then one day, detective Kang Do Chang (Son Hyun Joo), who was investigating the Lee Dae Cheol case, receives a mysterious confession through a phone call. After hearing this, Kang Do Chang is determined to catch the criminal and says, “If I remain silent too, then there will be no one to talk to.” He is then seen questioning a suspect, saying, “Aren’t you sorry for the dead?” In another scene, he angrily remarks, “Don’t you have conscience?”

 

In addition, there are three other characters who are introduced in this video. First, partner Detective Oh Ji Hyuk is shown in action, while at the backdrop, he can be heard saying, “We don’t have time. It’s useless, so don’t waste your feelings.”

 

The scene then proceeds to show brief cuts of reporter Jin Seo Kyung (Lee Elijah) and Oh Jong Tae (Oh Jung Se), who is looking suspiciously at his cousin, Oh Ji Hyuk.

 

Spoiler

 

THE PARTNER DETECTIVES

The second teaser video gives more insight into the characters, Kang Do Chang and Oh Ji Hyuk. In the video, Kang Do Chang shows his fierce self. Next, Oh Ji Hyuk appears at an auction house holding a licence plate. He then moves away from the place as the auctioneer declares a winner who had won the item for 800 million won.

 

The video then shows some soft as well as hardcore moments between the two partners. In some scenes, they are having a witty banter, whereas on others, they are persistently moving forward with their investigation.

 

The next cut shows Kang Do Chang trying to persuade his teammate to work on their mutual benefit and says, “Please take care of it. Just keep in mind that you and I are a couple.” He also does not hesitate to blow finger hearts.

 

Spoiler

TWO MURDERS AND THE TRUTH

Throwing more details into the murder case, the third teaser begins with Park Geon Ho (Lee Hyun Wook), who is surrounded by numerous reporters shouting, “I have something to tell reporters!”

 

Thereafter, the faces of Kang Do Chang, Oh Ji Hyuk, Jin Seo Kyung, Oh Jong Tae, and Yoo Jeong Seok (Ji Seung Hyun) are displayed with words “silence”, “truth”, “justice”, “power” and “conspiracy”. It is implied that all these five keywords are associated with each of these characters.

 

Then the voice in the backdrop utters, “Snakes, serpents. How do you avoid the judgment of hell?”

 

Spoiler

MORE PUZZLES AND CLUES

The fourth teaser video suggests more stories and clues to the drama in a lighter note. Son Hyun Joo, Jang Seung Jo, Lee Elijah, Oh Jung Se, and Ji Seung Hyun, appear one after another in a cheerful atmosphere, making it impossible to keep eyes away from the screen.

 

Throwing clues to the incident through various images, the video continues to overflow with excitement and an equally enticing background music captures the attention. The siren sounds, sight of police stations, appearances of Kang Do Chang and Oh Ji Hyuk, the case scenes, and the related articles give a glimpse of the contents of The Good Detective, further enhancing the curiosity of prospective viewers.

The Good Detective will premiere on July 6 via jTBC at 9.30 PM KST.
