1997 Detective retro bromance drama that has family aspects

I wasn't interested much in this drama as I don't like the male lead very much, it's just a matter of taste but somehow
the plot is engaging,, it kept popping up in front of me
a lot of friendship and Bromnance scenes just kept popping up in front of me on tiktok so I checked it out
the drama itself has a unique setting in the past and very accurate Props from 1997 ,, I was 11 at the time LOL
so it's very nostalgic also
the team of detectives is very likable and the male lead isn't arrogant nor cold , he's so much like big brother to all of them
it's more like a family drama that deals with drug gangs
I don't like much violence and here the violence is okay not gruesome nor gore, it's mild for this genere
the gangs are vicious and not like Korean dramas that have gangs cursing all the time and hitting each other LOL
they feel more dangerous here
it has a lot of realistic scenes from actual life, not fiction
has a lot of hilarious reactions to dangerous situations but somehow plausible not farce
Add to all of that cinematography and very good chemistry between the two male leads Bromance and friendship-like
The two male leads have diffirent personalities but somehow how they complete each other's shortcomings
one can fight and the other can't but has the brains for it so it's my favorite genre
It has that traumatic past and its effect on the male lead that's bromance 101 to have that friend comforting you all that time
the drama combines fun with seriousness in a very balanced way
I love that about it
I've watched 16 episodes by now and I'm totally hooked and obsessed by it
