The core of this season features chaebol detective Jin Yi-soo, played by Ahn Bo-hyun, and Jung Eun-chae, who joins him as a new teammate. Jung Eun-chae will anchor the series as Joo Hye-ra, the new leader of Gangha Police Station's Violent Crimes Team 1.

Yoo Seung-ho Joins and Kim Eui-sung Returns, Breaking the 'Famous Cameo = Culprit' Formula

The most eye-catching aspect of Season 2 is the unpredictable special guest cast. The production team has put significant effort into placing actors in specific episodes to maximize the fun of viewers deducing the culprit.

In particular, Yoo Seung-ho joins the cast as the new chaebol character Yoo Seong-won, adding weight to the drama. Kim Eui-sung, who left a strong impression in the first episode of Season 1, will appear once again, likely providing a sense of welcome to series fans. The production team stated, "In Season 2, we poured our heart into casting actors for each episode to twist the formula where 'famous actor cameo = culprit.'"

An Overwhelming Legion of Special Guests Including Park So-yi and Joo Hyun-young

The revealed list of special guests is extraordinary in scale. Following Park So-yi, the list includes Lee Hak-joo, Choi Deok-mun, Lee Seok Hoon, Son Woo-hyun, Heo Sung-tae, Jeon Hye Bin, Joo Hyun-young, Min Kyung-ah, and Kim Hye-eun. Moving beyond simple supporting roles, these actors are expected to play key roles in the reasoning process where viewers directly hunt for the culprit.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' is a work that continues the lineage of SBS investigation and action dramas, following 'Taxi Driver,' 'The Fiery Priest,' and 'The Judge from Hell.' Predicting a different kind of satisfaction from existing investigation dramas by actively utilizing wealth as an element in investigations, the drama will premiere on August 7 at 9:50 PM.
