Apr 8, 2019

 

Set to premiere on April 8, Special Labor Inspector Jo has tapped formidable actors ready to lead viewers to an exciting new world. MBC’s newest offering covers action and drama, with hints of satire and comedy.

 

The drama is about punishing the "haves" of society. It follows Jo Jin Gap, a man who used to be a member of the national judo team, and whose dream of becoming a physical education teacher is dashed when he gets kicked out for his temper. Jin Gap then becomes a civil servant who puts safety first, and works as a labor inspector for the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Suiting up as Jo Jin Gap, Kim Dong Wook leads the bromance pack in Special Labor Inspector Jo. He was a former Physical Education teacher and a promising Judo athlete who protested against unfair competition. From there, he worked as a teacher until he passed the civil servant exam. His new determination is to live a peaceful life as a labor inspector. However, he discovers the unfair, unjust use of power by the officials. Unable to stand it, he goes back to his former self to fight against corruption.

Through his new job, he also meets his former students Chun Duk Goo and Woo Do Ha, who will be portrayed by Kim Kyung Nam and Ryu Deok Hwan respectively. Billed as an engaging bromance to look forward to, the chemistry of the teacher to his former students while working on labor cases is one of the key points of the series.

 

Rounding up the main cast is Park Se Young, who will be making her comeback since Money Flower. The beautiful actress is gearing up to give yet another remarkable performance by playing the role of Joo Mi Ran. Her character was married to Jo Jin Gab during his career as a successful judo athlete. However, problems arise when Jo Jin Gab fights against the injustice over a fixed judo match.
