First Look at Lee Jun Ki, Moon Chae Won, and Son Hyun Joo in K-drama Criminal Minds

Ooooooh this looks fantastic, or at least the lead cast does on first impression. Filming is underway for the K-drama remake of hit US procedural Criminal Minds, and if this is a hit expect more where that remake train is coming. The drama is scheduled to air on cable network tvN in July but is well underway with filming, which is nice for the cast to get as much footage under their belt before live filming pressures catch up to them. Seeing Lee Jun Ki in full cop mode feels like such deja vu except he’s never played a standard modern cop character. In my fave The Time Between Dog and Wolf he was a national security agent and in sageuk Arang and the Magistrate he was the sageuk version of a cop. Here he’s partnered up with veteran Son Hyun Joo and female lead Moon Chae Won as part of an elite team of legal enforcement solving crime. It’s episodic so the plot doesn’t matter as much as the execution but for now seeing the cast in action is enticing enough.

  • I'm currently marathoning Criminal Mind from the first season. I'm on season 6 now and i expecting the korean version too. I love Lee Junki and Moon Chaewon, so i hope that this drama wont disappoint me.

  • It's been ages since Lee Jun Ki made appearance in modern day Seoul. He looks dashing though sageuk always elevated his look into somekind of a mythical being. I have high expectation on this drama especially with a good time frame for a head start before premeiring in July as well as the brilliant casts line up. This year has not been a good year for TvN so I hope this drama won't dissapoint.

  • LJK had lots of unsuccessful dramas since Iljimae. His last drama, Moon Lovers was the biggest flop of 2016 in Korea. MCW last drama, Mr. Black was also a flop having single digit rating in its entire run. BOTH are good looking and talented actors so I really really hope that this drama will turn into ratings hit so that both actors can bounce. I also love them.

  • Lee Joon Gi...my favorite actor. His acting is always good. Can't wait to see it. and All of the cast is good.
