SEOUL, Aug. 9 (Yonhap) -- A detective who captures criminals with all his might and a hacker-turned-criminal student who solves everything with his smart brain will meet each other at a police university as professor and student.
KBS 2TV will release its new Monday-Tuesday drama "Police Class" at 9:30 p.m. on Monday.
"Our drama is like a summer vacation drama where familes can gather around and watch together said Yoo Kwan-mo, the director of the drama. "I believe this is KBS's version of 'Indiana Jones,' 'Harry Potter,' and 'Sherlock Holmes."
The leading roles are played by Cha Tae-hyun, Jin-young and Krystal Jung. Cha Tae-hyun plays Yoo Dong-man, a passionate detective who has been a detective for 20 years, while Jin-young acts as Kang Sun-ho, a character who applied to a police university due to his first love, and Krystal Jung plays Oh Kang-hee, who dreams of becoming a police officer with a righteous heart.
During the online press conference, Cha Tae-hyun said, "I have played a detective before in 'Team Bulldog: Off-duty Investigation," adding, "While I played a common detective last time, this time, I will become both a detective and professor."
"Yoo Dong-man is a tough character who curses from time to time. But his cursing doesn't sound like cursing," Cha said with a smile. "It's going to be fun for the viewers because of Yoo's cool acting. Please look forward to my character," Cha emphasized.
The actor also praised his co-star, Jin-young, saying, "We worked very well together because Jin-young is very good at acting. Our on-screen chemistry is gradually improving and we are actually becoming closer off camera too."
"Of course, the chemistry between me and Jinyoung is good too, however, the focal point to pay attention to is the love relationship between Jinyoung and Krystal Jung," Cha added.
"I think the process of Kang Sun-ho's development should be worth paying attention to," Jin-young said. "At first, he is a character without his own color or dreams, however he gradually improves after meeting Yoo Dong-man and Oh Kang-hee. This process was quite difficult to act."
"I also worked out a lot to look nice in my police uniform. Please look forward to my character's love line as well," Jin-young added.
"Whenever I choose the next work I want to star in, I tend to lean towards characters I haven't done," said Krystal Jung, who is constantly challenging various roles after turning into an actress. "The script for 'Police Class' was also very interesting and charming," Jung added.
"Oh Kang-hee is an honest character and has a refreshing personality like a soda. The audiences who watch my character will feel a sense of satisfaction," the actress said.
