Retro Detective (2024)

Other name: 复古神探, Fu Gu Shen Tan

Description:

Retro Detective plunges into a compelling story of time and mystery. Post-90s policeman Huang Wei Ping, deeply embedded in an undercover mission, suffers a grave accident, rendering him comatose. Miraculously, he awakens twenty years later, physically unchanged, a relic in a transformed world. His return to the police force is fraught with challenges; feeling utterly out of place, his dated approaches often lead to unintentional comedy and awkward situations among his modern colleagues. Despite the initial struggle, he rekindles his partnership with old friend Li Ming Feng. Together, this duo embarks on a crucial quest: to re-examine and finally solve a mysterious cold case from their shared past. Huang Wei Ping's unique, "retro" perspective from a bygone era may hold the unexpected key to unlocking long-buried truths and bringing closure to a forgotten injustice.
