"Chief Detective 1958" Climbs Back to Double-Digit Ratings
Actor Shin Jae Ha, well-known for his roles as a villain, is set to reveal a transformation that breaks free from his stereotypical image.
On September 15th, the production team of the Genie TV original drama EVILLIVE unveiled stills featuring Shin Jae Ha, who plays the character Han Beom Jae, the stepbrother of Han Dong Soo (Shin Ha Kyun) and a case broker.
EVILLIVE is a noir crime drama that tells the story of a lawyer who turns into a villain after meeting a wicked criminal.
What's particularly intriguing is that Shin Jae Ha, who has garnered success with consecutive villain roles in previous dramas like Crash Course in Romance and Taxi Driver Season 2, is now teasing a transformation that casts him in an entirely different light. In EVILLIVE, he showcases a side of himself that is in stark contrast to his previous antagonistic roles.
Han Beom Jae is a programmer and currently works at a secondhand computer store. He introduces profitable cases to help his brother but finds him transformed into a villain due to a case he takes on.
The released still images vividly capture Han Beom Jae's character, characterized by remarkable dexterity and vibrant vitality, grabbing the audience's attention. Shin Jae Ha seamlessly immerses himself in the role of Han Beom Jae, presenting a completely different persona while retaining his inherently kind visage. The mystery surrounding the nature of the incident that entangles Han Beom Jae while working as his brother's broker and the motives behind his busy actions stoke curiosity.
The EVILLIVE production team shared their insights, stating, "Shin Jae Ha's character, Han Beom Jae, unintentionally finds himself embroiled in a perilous incident, experiencing a world of chaos", and they added, "To showcase a distinct facet of his acting, Shin Jae Ha approached the filming with tremendous enthusiasm. We encourage viewers to look forward to Shin Jae Ha's exceptional performance in EVILLIVE, where he adds a fresh dimension alongside Shin Ha Kyun and Kim Young Kwang".
