Yu Dae Cheon (played by Choi Duk Moon) leads Unit 1 of the Jongnam Police. He’s the only chief detective who refuses to bow down to the local gangsters. However, this has led to him being isolated until Park Yeong Han (played by Lee Je Hoon) joins his team.
Choi Dal Sik (played by Oh Yong) often feels threatened by Yu Dae Cheon’s actions whenever they interact. In episode six, he even attacks the chief detective. Here are seven reasons why Choi Dal Sik harmed Yu Dae Cheon in Chief Detective 1958.
1. Yu Dae Cheon used to be a special police officer dealing with anti-national activities. He investigated pro-Japanese individuals, including Choi Dal Sik.

However, this incident is just the beginning of the threat to Yu Dae Cheon and Unit 1. We await Park Yeong Han’s team’s response in the upcoming episode of Chief Detective 1958.
