Park Hae Jin (MBC)

JAKARTA - It seems that actor Park Hae Jin will often decorate South Korean television screens. Only in the fourth month of 2020, he confirmed that he would star in the drama Crime Puzzle. The drama is adapted from a webtoon of the same name by Misang and Meen which was published in 2016.

The news of this adaptation has been circulating since the end of last year. However, at that time the production team had not yet announced who the main character was. The bright spot was only discovered on Friday, April 24.

Lined up to be the main character, Park Hae Jin will play Han Seung Min, a professor at a police academy. He is a well-known professor in the world of psychology after a thesis he made when he was 20 years old became the talk of many people.

Crime Puzzle tells the story of professor Han Seung Min who is arrested one day after admitting to killing his girlfriend's father. One criminal case changes Seung Min's skyrocketing and successful life. Seung Min was sentenced to life in prison for his actions.

Besides that, there is the character Yoo Hee who has not been announced who the cast is. Yoo Hee is a detective who investigates Han Seung Min's case simply because he doesn't believe his lover's confession. Because of this, Yoo Hee decided to visit his girlfriend and hold 10 interview sessions to find out what happened.

For Park Hae Jin, the crime and action genres are nothing new, because Hae Jin once played a psychopath through the drama Bad Guys. This drama even changed Park Hae Jin's image from a friendly young actor to a cold person. His character in Cheese In The Trap also displays the same characteristics.

On the other hand, Park Hae Jin is also quite productive in taking on roles. In March, this 36-year-old actor just finished the drama project Forest. In addition, he is currently preparing for the role of Ga Yeol Chan in the drama Old School Intern which will air in May.

The drama Crime Puzzle is produced by Studio 329 which is working on the web drama Top Management and Extracurricular which will air on Netflix. The plan is for Crime Puzzle to be broadcast in the second half of 2020.
