Comments

P Jan 14 2025 1:48 am Watching because of Chae Soo Bin & I like it

Chavo Dec 14 2024 7:12 am Really good. A little akward at certains scenes, where Chae Soo-Bin has to demonstrate her athletic prowesses, but very good overall. I wish Park Yoo-Na had a chance to be the lead in a drama... She deserves it by now...

ska Nov 06 2024 7:51 am Made me cry so hard. I really detest people with low morals who have no emotions and heart to do evil deeds. I cried a lot because of how I resonate with the injustice in this drama as i too, experienced the same abuse and mistreatment from those I thought would never hurt me. Those who are in power abused their position and I was left helpless and trapped and made me mute of my experiences that's why I relate with their friendship and their strong morality

as it reminded me of hope and justice at the right time. 10/10 for me.

Park Min Sep 14 2023 11:53 am Shamelessly copy-pasting their homework from Police University (2021). Nonetheless, the drama had the worst combination of anything and everything which ruined any appeal for it. It would have been a tiny bit better if the drama didn't have any romance. Aside from the first 2 minutes and 42 seconds of the introduction scene of the first episode, this drama was a waste of carbon emissions.

Uckezzy Aug 21 2023 5:44 pm This series was worth the time, recommended it to my loved ones and they are still singing the praise today. I just love everything about the show.

Roro Aug 21 2023 2:11 am entered the police university, because of a person she likes.<<< make me hate the FL. She is too careless.

Ciepao Jul 25 2023 10:19 am A show that is surely good enough to recommend. This gets an 8.5/10.

Every episode will hook you up. This drama is so good that I finished it in just three days. The friendship of all the KNPU students and the way they bond is so heartwarming. The plot is nice, with no draggy scenes. A lot of the characters are new to me, but they manage to be memorable, and they did a great job in their acting, especially Um Hyuk (Lee Joon Woo).

Though I find this drama good, I can't say that it is an extraordinary drama. Not much of a thriller, I find myself looking forward to the KNPU students bonding more than the action. And the main leads don't have good chemistry; the only "couple" that I find cute is the tandem of Gi Hanna and Yoo Daeil. In my opinion, this series could be a 10 if there was no romance involved.

Tee May 04 2023 5:23 pm Overall this is a great drama 10/10….I’m really finding it hard to let go cause what!!!.My favorite character is Daeil and i honestly cried when he died because he was such a sweet soul always bringing good vibes to his Squad.All of the people criticizing Kang Daniel y’all are forgetting that this is his lead role and First Drama i didn’t even realize until i googled it….For me he nailed his role so you can’t say otherwise,well everyone is entitled to their opinions.Hoping to see more dramas of Kang Daniel.Fighting??

BTS Fan Nov 20 2022 12:00 am This series is worth watching. Maybe some do not like the series but I do. I won't say much to avoid saying spoilers. However, all actors did a great job. My Kpop fan is also happy because they featured Fiction by BEAST. Hoping to see more dramas of Daniel Kang.❣️❣️❣️

Derek Oct 23 2022 10:34 pm Is that a common punishment in Korea, squatting and holding your earlobes?

aditi Jul 02 2022 1:05 am i really liked this kdrama and it's o good indotn what others keep the opinion on this kdrama But for me it was worth it and I am considering re watching it .??

hypekor May 25 2022 10:57 am Haven't watched it yet but planning to, so just checking the comments here :D Was it like Police University? I mean, the story is good but not sure if it would be memorable.. I really like investigation/crime/detective series

halflook Apr 11 2022 3:00 am @ Tin, there's a difference between discipline and abusive. what their seniors did in the earlier episode / cheongram training is both verbally and physically abusive. and what the fl had to experience was worst, I don't know about you but thinking how it was her first day at school, being accused of sleeping in class when she didn't and got into special training a.k.a getting beaten by the baseball bat. I'm glad she fought back. in the last episode there's the difference to how they train the new students if you really pay attention to it

Friedrice Apr 09 2022 1:18 am One of the dramas that can be easily forgotten. You can watch it if you don’t have other choice but don’t expect too much about the plot and acting. Even chae soobin wasn’t able to carry it, her character is sometimes cringe and I don’t know why they chose an emotionless leading man

Tin Apr 02 2022 11:33 pm Currently on episode 3, still thinking if I will continue. I like it mind you, I just felt that the FL is too naive, I think everyone knows that entering police academy is not a walk in the park and strong discipline is implemented. When she entered the academy it’s like she’s so nosy and doesn’t seem to be respectful of her superiors thus I am quite annoyed with her, I understand she has strong sense of justice but unfortunately she entered police academy wherein you have to swallow it at least while in there. I’m okay with people with strong sense of justice and wanted to fight for it but the way FL is going about it is kind’a irritating to me, I like so far how ML is going about that sense of justice- strong and not like the FL who’s so baby-like puppy-eyed… Will still check if I’d continue as I like ML and his friendship with his roommates especially Daeil…

Angela Apr 02 2022 8:20 am Just the typical police plot. So-so drama

Iniobong Akpan Mar 30 2022 5:27 pm The storyline is well scripted. I believe with passion and determination. Seunghyn and eunkang were ready to fight the injustice prevailing in the system. They were not easily intimidated even in the face of taking risks higher than them... At last They were able to restructure the system which serves as a landmark to their class.

halflook Mar 30 2022 1:50 am the main story is centered around fighting an injustice, so it is given that the main characters are seunghyun and eunkang who share the same value. rather than the sad backstory, it focuses more on how kids who just turned adults facing the real world problems and solving by themselves. they were clumsy but they know what's wrong is wrong and stand for it. their ways were criticized a lot by their professors and mentors but with their values and the guidance from the right people, they learned to become a better person everyday

Dior_724 Mar 27 2022 3:54 am Park Yoona and Daeil’s story is way more interesting than the other topics that it became the only thing that I remember from this drama. For real they should give Park Yoona the main lead role she deserves.

Uniqlo Is My Fashion Mar 26 2022 6:25 am This is a good drama, good storyline, good actors and actresses. The only cons about the drama is the main lead actor, kang daniel. I'm so sorry but Kang daniel shouldn't lead the drama. He's so stiff T_T I skipped most of his parts. You can actually feel the gap between the lead actor and actress. I love Daeil, he's so funny.

Leah Mar 24 2022 9:09 am I really enjoy watching this drama!!!

Joyful Mar 22 2022 2:33 am Wow! I loved this dramas. The plot, the actors, the chemistry, the suspense. This one has it all. I was so sad to see it end and having to let the characters go.

For those people criticising the leads, it’s quite clear that you have a hate agenda. Seriously, the 2 leads were great! Can’t believe it is Kang Daniel’s acting debut cos his eyes really speak to you. And so much chemistry with Soobin. The supporting casts were also so relatable and their friendships are so cute. I legit cried when they fought with each other and one of the cast died.

Definitely a must watch! 5/5 for me!

Sunny sunny Mar 22 2022 1:28 am I love the drama so much , can’t believe this is ML 1st drama ,his expression and emotional handle so well, when he hold his tear you can feel how sad he is when he need to take down his father

The action scene so amazing the action is smooth and only knew he never use stuntman at all

Shandy Mar 22 2022 1:18 am Starting with less expectations towards this drama because my prejudice towards the male lead only to end up loving this drama. I love this drama so much. I love everything about this drama. It's so hard to let them go and I am still so empty rn. I was crying my heart out at the last eps .Kang Daniel I am sorry, I judged you too early. Your acting is considered good for a rookie actor, especially for an idol turned actor. Of course there might be lacking for some scenes but I wasnt bothered at all. I really like your mellow eyes when wsh was talking to Eunkang at the beach. Overall, good job daniel, you did a justice to your character, seunghyun. I hope you will still do an acting in the future. And untill that i will wait for your improvement. Fighting, kang daniel and see you in another project.

And for other casts, you really did a great job guys especially Daeil.Daeil i love you so much. How could the author kill you. If only you didnt die. This story would be so perfect. But it's okay. At least they still include you until the end of the eps. Again I love you guys. I will anticipate every cast project after this. You will always have special place in heart KNPU squad.

Bibi Mar 22 2022 12:58 am Starting with less expectations for this drama because my prejudice towards the ML only to feel hard to let them go at the end of the eps. Is this my karma? I am so invested with this drama. I love all of them. Kang Daniel, I am sorry. I judge you too early apparently. Your acting was good enough for rookie actor especially for idol turned actor. I really love your mellow eyes. It might be awkward at the first two eps but after that I could already enjoy your acting. Hope you can still improve your acting in the future. Will patienly wait for your progress in ur another project. Fighting!!

And for other casts, you did a very great job too. Especially for Daeil. You would always be my fav character in this drama. If only you were not d word, this drama would be so perfect. But it's okay at least writer still included you untill the end of the the drama.

Veeno Mar 22 2022 12:36 am Easily included in my most fav drama!! Everything was just perfect, from the plot, cinematography, and the cast were so perfect. I hope there will be another season for this drama or at least the spin off. I want to know more their story after graduation.

. Mar 20 2022 9:22 am Same vibe with police university

Kdramareview Mar 19 2022 12:48 am I like all of this stuff in this drama The cast, the plot, the cinematography was perfect I really like ML and FL chemistry, although ML just use to debut drama, so impressive. I hope they can have same project again.

NoName Mar 18 2022 6:59 am They are not just rookie but also a dimwit. The ML while driving and Daeil was emergency calling them for help. He is struggling while driving so he can't hear but what's the use of LOUD SPEAKER on your fone dude it's not like the outside noise can interfere your hearing. He is inside the car for goodness sake he knows he is in danger!!! He doesn't deserve to be a cop a brainless cop I may say. Annoying

Sindrick Mar 18 2022 1:56 am This is a crime related kdrama where the balance between fun and intense is well done. I watched this because chaesoobin is one of my favorite korean actress. From the start Im hoping that there will be a serious crime scene that they will handle and yes it happened.

This is one of my favorite endings in all the kdrama I watched. Action scenes is really expected on finale but they made it fun and exciting. You just want to see how they worked as a team.

I like that they are not just focusing on few characters but every characters has their own spotlight and conclusion.

Cops Mar 17 2022 7:21 pm You're going to regret this, You never know what will happen in the future,

If you become actors in the future, the drama you star in will have to be cancelled because of you. - (Dae-Il epi 6 response to bullies) i laughed so hard in that line lmaooo salute to writer lol

Keirana Mar 17 2022 12:58 am Good drama, love their friendship chemistry. The ending is likely how most Disney works, only happened in our imagination. Regardless, it's nice to see more company localize their content with Korean. Even Apple TV follow the trend.

baby Mar 17 2022 12:32 am this drama is what i expected from PU (if you know you know), friendship, real case, and really good. yahhh even the main lead lil bit no expression, but it's okay. I really like the villain acting, omg his skill so good, i hope he become successful.

Manuever7 Mar 16 2022 10:29 pm Just finished the drama. Finally a drama that gave what kind of ending the viewer want.

At first, I never read any trailer/teaser and any synopsis about the drama beforehand, I just watch it right away. And guess what? I totally fall in love with it!

Amazing editings, overlays tech and scenery that fits well with current modern era. This drama has easy flowing story that makes you get absorbed into it and forgot about reality things. The music ost suits the situation even more and all of them has happy beat which can be use for study music, very enjoyful to listen. my favorite one is "Police Class" when Eunkang and Seunghyun are together.

I'm glad that having this drama on my generation, one of the best drama that always makes me smile almost the entire time! So much dopamine gained from each episodes, brought many positive things/examples to me to try out. The 8 divines character has their own unique ways to introduce their personality to shine, I love all of them! And the most important about this drama is the moral of the story, very useful advice of life can be received from this drama. There's nothing I dislike about this drama. Just Wonderful!

[SPOILER ALERT]

Seunghyun and Eunkang is the perfect couple, I legit happy crying at the end, they did get the job done and left nothing behind. A fully complete feeling here after.

I really love Daeil! He's like that one boy in your class that always makes you laugh everytime! Hahaha. But.... nooooo you don't deserve this Daeil! He just wanted to date with Gi Hanna.... why? Why class clown always has sad fate??

I think Kang Daniel surely nailed his first debut on drama with that cold role, keep going! Waiting for your next upcoming drama!

9/10!

littlepinky Mar 16 2022 7:34 pm more kdrama projects of Kand Daniel with Chae Sso bin , please...

Erigom Mar 14 2022 11:07 pm I really like Kand Daniel but he really needs to learn to act..in most of the scenes we could olny see his expression less face when all of others were acting so well..

Larissa Mar 14 2022 7:35 pm It is very interesting, unless the novel the protagonists have no chemistry and no communication, the male protagonist always seems very serious close to her but the friendship between female and male police officers is very light, fun

Twenty5Twenty1 Mar 11 2022 8:53 pm I waited for Soobin drama for so long but I can’t see chemistry :( Soobin deserves a better leading man imo

Tea Mar 10 2022 12:07 am Yoo Dae il :((( so sad

Mamang Mar 09 2022 11:23 pm 2 episodes more

Reply me Mar 09 2022 6:49 pm Judging from episode 14, I think yoo dae il will die..

Mithakr Mar 09 2022 5:55 am This is the most interesting teen drama

Wang Jarim Mar 09 2022 5:53 am I really really love this drama... Every episode is so interesting. Romance, comedy, mystery, action, they have them all. I love all the cast too. The plot is natural and very entertaining. They don't try too hard.. Will be memorable to me

Kang Daniel❤ Mar 08 2022 7:20 pm I'm so anxious right now....who's gonna die?...I really love all characters

Anamika Mar 05 2022 1:32 pm Kim Tak will die for sure

pikachu Mar 03 2022 9:58 am im guessing Seung Hyun will die

Fighting Mar 02 2022 10:29 pm Who is gonna die?? T~T

Nancy Feb 24 2022 11:54 pm Choi Soobin and Park Youna pretty much hardcarry the show. Women charisma

Nancy Feb 24 2022 11:52 pm The supporting characters have more appeal than the male lead

Vich Feb 24 2022 8:35 am Really love this drama not only the cast member but also the plot.. Every plot are interesting.. I thought that they are develop their duty being police wanna be.. They solved the case surrounding them.. Then they will solve kim hyun soo case. Really enjoy wathing this drama.. I dunno why I like not only the main actor but all of them.. Teens love line always make me dugun dugun juseyo... ^^v

Twinnie_gennie Feb 23 2022 8:48 pm Now see it's really different from Police University. Though there are some similarities it's way different. It's not like catching a small fish to a bigger fishhhh. It's breaking them!!!!

enca Feb 23 2022 9:09 am can it be 3episodes each week update please. i can't wait to watch next ep10.….

littlepinky Feb 23 2022 8:44 am Each episode makes you really smile on scene between Eunkang and Seung hyun. Yes, its true the plot is simple but the timing of each scenes are perfect........

Risma Feb 21 2022 10:03 pm Actually i wait for kang Daniel acting, and i like the plot , it easy to understand,. Not too heavy, i wish they can be a real police and catch some Villains, that mist be funny.

kdrama binge-watcher Feb 21 2022 1:19 pm I was actually waiting for this drama to finish airing so I can watch it all at once but I kept on seeing spoilers on social media so I decided to watch it even though it was only halfway through. I finished a lot of asian dramas in my 1-month semestral break from school and I would say after watching too heavy sentimental and melodramas, this drama is surprisingly worth watching because it has a light approach and you can just watch it with a relaxed mind. For those looking for lighthearted romcom with a touch of friendship and coming-of-age theme, this is your sign to watch this drama. I finished binge-watching all 8 episodes in one sitting! Very interesting casts and plot because it reflects some of the most controversial social issues at this time. Great lines and commendable acting from all of the casts! I hope this will continue to be interesting until the end. Looking forward to the next episodes!

Light myday please Feb 18 2022 12:03 pm I'm so in love with this drama that now I can't watch anything.

Nastar Feb 18 2022 3:26 am My ears struggled to hear a lot of shouting. Interesting cast, though.

Ibu ibu jowo Feb 17 2022 9:41 pm I Love This Drama.. This reminds me of my teenage behavior..hahahahaha ohh please,, the look in kang daniel's eyes makes my heart float in the air..

btw, this is a simple romance drama.. suitable to rest the mind from drama that makes dizzy, sad, angry...

don't comment that the story must be tense, unpredictable, plot twist at the end of the story..

if you expect your adrenaline to be pumped then you better watch dramas about action, demons, thrillers, psychopaths and the like..

wookies Feb 16 2022 1:26 pm i really enjoy this drama.

kang daniel is really good in express his impression. i think this drama is really a good start for him like it suit him well.

and for chae soo bin. i dont even have any doubt of her. i already know that she is a good actor. i did a research on her a while ago and find that i watched every drama she's in especially in a piece of mind.

and for drama, i think it have a very interesting plot. i dont understand why people judge this drama is similar with PU. yes i admit that this drama have same setting drama but not all of the plot is same.

i think we should appriciate all the hard work that was made for this drama.

lastly, i recommend this drama for those who searching for drama that doesnt have critical thinking and mind blowing. just enjoy the drama. its really good.

Anvia Feb 16 2022 11:42 am It's a mediocre drama with an interesting actor rooster. Boring story, sometimes annoying. If you want to just wasting your time, it's okay to watch this drama.

Pimil Feb 13 2022 9:22 am For people who wonder how it is possible that we got 2 dramas with similar set up: Police University and Rookie cops. This is something which more often happened in the past but still is a thing in kdrama industry. Writers share their ideas with many productions company and tv stations. So synopsis of dramas are rarely secret. So when they get to know that there is in plans drama with big names or/and big budget with x plot they often decide to produce similar production to ride on its buzzworth . It doesn't have to mean that they copy scenario, they can as well just find similar thing in their not used scenarios storeroom.The most famous case of such situation was Hyde Jekyll, Me vs Kill me, heal me.

I also think that today streaming platforms and tv stations can plan such situation together because they still don't compete directly. This way they link productions to create bigger buzzworth together. And that's why we had situations when actors act both in dramas on streaming platform and in tv in similar time.The most obvious case of that is Move to heaven when Ji Jin Hee acted father of autistic son both there and in JTBC's Undercover. They can also have other connections like Squid game is obviously inspired by mangas so in similar time TVN released Hometown which is like love letter to Japan pop culture of 90s.

Not sure how it was in this case but actually rookie cups started filming earlier than Police University.

Jeremy Feb 11 2022 5:25 am Who else is watching this because of room 304 members??

Bill Feb 11 2022 12:29 am I just watched it until eps 2, and yeah it's similar to PU bcs of the theme, but this drama is more realistic, imo. You can see the difference on how RC really showing the situation and strict rules for police students, the teachers firmness, and the set is really looks real too. Event tho there's some cheesy scenes, at least it makes the drama feels brighter. Well, i took "Midnight Runners" and "Live" as reference on how police university should be

Prero Feb 10 2022 9:40 pm Drama is totally like police uni same kind pf scenarios ,martial art scenes, similar uni drinking dinner event scenes, ml or fl getting drunk then piggy backed to dorms,blind dates, goify roommates of ml here are similar to pu ml's roomies,similat antagonistic characters. If a drama could lay a baby then pu is father / mother of rookie cops. RC is better show than pu, if it were released before pu it would have gained more appreciation but since it is released later and weirdly even scenarios are 95pc similar and people didnt have good memories of pu so this drama is getting criticism.

The difference in RC from pu and other tv shows is that it challenges the seniority and bullying system where characters dont give in infront of seniors. So far it seems main aim of drama is standing against bullying. Honestly that female actress playing female leads lovers gf is such an annoying character and way her cap is styled and shes made to look up from corners of her cap she looks like a psychopath than a police off who will save ppl. It is more like a civilian will ask her for help, madam help and in turn she will say sure and then kill the civvi.

jsuh Feb 10 2022 7:07 pm i underestimated this one at first time but then i really enjoy watching it, and personally i think this is better than police university (even i love krystal dan jinyoung)

Ni Feb 10 2022 11:28 am So far loving the story. Chae soo bin is such a cute and lovely person and she's doing a good job here. I was fed up with school stories and was in need of such a drama and this came at the right time so enjoying this drama rn.

Charisse C. Inaanuran Feb 09 2022 10:30 pm First thing I've seen the poster of these series is actually accidentally to take away m boredom it's really worth it to spend a time for such an honest plot and storyline. It really depicts on what society are nowadays and the casting are such an excellent for delivering to the viewers perfectly and thruthfully. I really love this drama and highly recommend for those who are finding a drama that can strike a humanity for the sake of ourselves and also to our sorroundings and environment.

Xiao li Feb 09 2022 5:06 pm How should I put it? Same/similar storyline diffrent actors. Not an inventive or creative sequence. Cliché female lead, Cliché male lead and cliche ex/love interest. Also, cliché drama with cliché twist. The worst part that pisses me off is when they turn the good guy (one-sided interest of FL) into a rotten villain of some kind so that Second male lead soon-to-be drama's actual male lead becomes good guy and male lead. Somehow it is the k-drama law that men are pervs and cretins also if the female lead likes u but somehow u don't accept her feelings, it simply means u are the bad guy. I love k-dramas and I get it, there is only so much that u can do with stories. I get it but come on!! U have a competent cast and production. So, rack ur brains and come with inventive, interesting and creative dramas please!! Not trying to insult or mock u guys... Just want to let u know how I feel.

enca Feb 09 2022 2:17 pm main leads match could the be matched in a next drama/movie i dont think i can't recall any drama for both are matched again just this once....and hey!!! why in the last minute episode is suspense did both main leady really kissed that early ....to wait for episode7 The plot is good i an trying to look for other earlier or future projects of writer: Le ha na. good lucky to this Disney+ network for more good projects.. fighthin...

lol Feb 06 2022 2:51 pm i like the plot so far as well as the setting (i love shows set in high school or uni). however, the fl is making it really hard to take this seriously. she acts so arrogant even though she's probably the least qualified one there. it's still early to make a harsh judgement though, so i can only hope that she gets better.

kiboy Feb 06 2022 10:45 am @Tortoise18 : probably during episode 1 the drama shows about Corporal punishment from the senior members as tradition.

Sapphrodite Feb 04 2022 10:59 pm Really enjoyed the drama and surprisingly it kept me hooked on watching the next episodes. Usually the first few episodes of Kdrama get me bored, but not this one. Can't wait to see how the plots will turnout. So far, it has a light feeling, but also big secret/plot waiting to unfold, and love the friendship part as well

Anong Sayo Feb 04 2022 10:48 pm "Police University" drama is the first drama that about police school/students that I watched!, So I will give this a try, hihi...I already like the pilot episode...Also it's a comeback of Chae Soo bin :)) my one of my fave k female actresses!!

tiesto Feb 03 2022 8:41 am Kang Daniel. OPPA!!! haha jk. what's with disneyplus america. why won't they allow us to watch kdramas?? I have to watch it somewhere else.

Gosh Feb 02 2022 7:05 pm Gosh her parents specially dad are terrible-est ppl, i cried at end of ep 4 when she wrote about bad parenting she suffered

smithy Jan 30 2022 10:58 am The first two episodes are good. I like how they started the story pretry quickly without spending too much time on character intros, but still gave us a chance to get to roommate groups. I was surprised by the first scene because the trialers I saw for this were really light and fluffy. But I like the balance of fluffy and heavier scenes so far. Love the cast, Chae Soobin is amazing as always and Kang Daniel is a pleasant surprise. Love their bickering chemistry, can't wait to watch them fall for eachother.

Anon Jan 30 2022 10:53 am Really enjoying this so far. The plot seems like it will have lots of twists and turns. There are lighthearted moments but there are also some dramatic moments coming up based on the trailers. For Kang Daniel's first acting project he's doing well! After reading the description of his character I was expecting someone pretty stoic but he has a greater range of expressions and emotions than I was expecting. His character is also very likeable. And of course Chae Soo Bin is always a joy to watch.

sanah Jan 29 2022 5:07 am I like 'he is psychometric' (same director). so I'm going to watch this series.

I can't judge just by watching 2 episodes only (rn this series still on going. just has 2 episodes that come out this week) so ...

Plot: we get the introduction of the characters + how they adapt in college. We still can't see what the main problem is in the story.

Actors: Actors did a great job in their portrayals of characters. so I love it. looks natural. And to Kang Daniel's debut as an actor, it exceeded my expectations. We can clearly see his posture in training is so good + He's good with the expression in his eyes. and it turned out his voice was so deep + smooth... Like I said earlier, because it's still 2 ep. So, I'm wondering how Daniel's acting is going in the next episode.. especially when the action part. chae soobin with short hair.. It's really suit her and her character.

Twinnie_gennie Jan 28 2022 5:02 pm Not being a biased I didn't read the review of this one before watching it because I highly anticipated Daniel's drama. I'm telling you it'll never disappoint you. Try to watch it don't let them sway you that it's a copycat of Police University coz' it's really not. It's WAAAAAY too good. Too early to tell it's a copycat coz' it's not

Slay it Jan 27 2022 11:56 am @aespa current timeline is in 2016 for drama, not present

Aespa Jan 27 2022 10:21 am Im just wondering when is this series start their shooting? Bcoz the first eps i saw samsung s8, so i assume this series have been shoot long time ago but release on early 2022. Anyone can check on this? Hahahahah

Soobin Jan 27 2022 7:48 am "Police University" drama is the first drama that about police school/students that I watched!, So I will give this a try hihi...I already like the pilot episode...Also it's a comeback of Chae Soo bin :)) my one of my fave k female actress!!

Lea Jan 27 2022 7:43 am Its pretty good so far

Yona Jan 27 2022 7:40 am Kang Daniel really surprised me! He is pretty good although this is his first drama. I would love to talk a bit about his character: I love how it was not stereotypical at all! Daniel is very righteous, a top student and the cool guy however unlike most other kdrama male leads he is not stoic or cold or snobbish lol in fact he is friendly (even if not very outgoing he still has friends and can smile and does not glare every other second like the typical cool kdrama male lead lol). He also can be quite soft spoken and humane (?) What I mean is he is realistic. SPOILER SPOILER****** When he confronted that trainer at the end of episode 1 I love how he wasnt snobbish or cocky, you can tell he was nervous at first and wanted to say something but hesitated, yet because he is righteous and he couldnt stand njustice, he pushed through and spoke his mind. I love that! I love how you could read the conflict in his expression, he delivered that scene so well!!

- - END SPOILER***

I love the complexity of his character and I cant wait to see morre of him! Chae Soobin was a delight to watch! This is my first drama of her but she is pretty charming and her cuteness feels very natural and not cringy at all. (I cant stand her parents tho lol)

The drama also seems very fun and engaging! I totally recommend it to people who want to watch a drama that shows campus life of Police students, lighthearted moments, very distinct characters that really bring life to the story (like each one of them feels so real), pretty good world building, hot guys working out in uniforms (xD) and amidst the light stuff there seems to be some drama thats building up and ut makes the story even more interesting. Apparently Daniel's dad will play a big role too, if Daniel idolizes him, what if his dad is not who he thinks he is? Just throwing a guess out there because I would love to see their ideals clashing, for someone like Wi Seunghyun who cant stand injustice at all, how far does that apply? Will his sense of justice be challenged? I really really cant wait for the next episodes! The first 2 were just sooo good

Zarhexia Jan 27 2022 7:09 am im dropping this because of the parents. i just watched like several minutes and i already lost respect for the parents and i cannot watch it. fck i had enough of that troupe. if you can tolerate unjust parents, by all means go ahead. this is just my personal opinion

Nattiya Jan 27 2022 2:08 am Because it’s Kang Daniel, I’m willing to watch this one. Though I have low expectations because it his first drama, he’s doing well so far.

Hermione needs a wig Jan 27 2022 1:45 am First time seeing male lead, his acting is totally like those idols who join dramas,if he turns out an idol i would not be surprised at all as he has one constant angry expression all the time with rest facial muscles staying frigid and always speaks with clenched teeth- hallmarks of idol turned actors. And just 1 angry expression in all scenes whether curious,furious,angry,confused,scoffing,smirking. Whenever he sees female lead he gives murderous looks as if he is gonna to kill her when he is only supposed to be giving her taunting and indifferent looks. Like take it easy bro she aint no north korean spy who killed 1000s by planting bombs ,just her sister is a flirt.

Chae soo bin and male dorm mates are cool and will have to hard carry the show on their backs . Mole in uni, weird professor all remind me of police university. First 2 eps were good ,hope it stays good. Police uni was also good till first 5 episodes then became very boring and draggy, rookie cops is also ggod from start but i hope it does not become like PU after 4-5 episodes.

Justawatched Jan 27 2022 1:43 am I hope that this drama will not be like the "Police University" kdrama. I hope that this drama will just like depicts the life of the students and more on comedy.

I don't want to have this drama to have an antagonist

Leah Jan 26 2022 6:30 pm Kang Daniel really surprised me, even though it was his first drama he did very well, his acting was very natural and I loved that he showed many sides of his character. And not to mention the chemistry he has with Chae Soobin, the two look so good together that they have already become one of my favorite couples. I loved everything about the drama!!

Minah Jan 26 2022 6:11 pm The big day has finally arrived!! Kang actor was born!!! I loved the two chapters that are available from beginning to end, Daniel and Soobin are a perfect couple!! I already want next Wednesday to arrive to see two more chapters!!

Bee13 Jan 26 2022 12:54 am This is the D-Day!!! Can't help but screaming especially when I think of their kissing scene. Hope they have a lot of that. Heheheh

Mary Jan 23 2022 9:15 pm It's like police university when i see the trailer

shika Jan 19 2022 10:22 pm When I see the first trailer, it looks fun already.. I can't wait to see this series on Disney+. But hey, the chemistry between main lead is so cute, both resemble puppies so much.

Btw, When Police University was out, i tought it was this series. Because I saw Rookie Cops announcement first before Police University was announced, hahaha.

goodluck and fighting Chae Soo Bin and Kang Daniel !!

bumbum Jan 19 2022 6:35 am I once read that both Police University and Rookie Cops were promoted by Korean Police Agency. Maybe that's why the plots and vibes look similar

Dandie Jan 02 2022 8:39 am I am literally waiting for this! It's 2022 and still can't wait for it! Daniel Kang makes me scream so loud waiting for their kissing scene. Yay!!!!

halflook Dec 30 2021 6:17 pm I really love chae soo bin too, let's support the drama without belittling others. soobin once said that acting in a drama/movie is a teamwork between the actors and also all the staffs, so I realized neither to put a lot of burden nor praise to just one individual, but the directing and other aspects play an important role as well. I just hope it's good for everyone

Anonymous Dec 27 2021 9:27 pm I love chae soobin and excoted to watch this for her. What i don't understand is why Kang daniel out of all the many rookie actors???? Maybe this is disney+ strategy. They make use of kpop idols just like snowdrop

kyoob Dec 22 2021 8:26 pm excited to see chae soobin's next work !!!

Bee13 Dec 22 2021 7:01 pm So can't really wait to see this drama. So freaking excited about it. Kang Daniel makes me feel better. Seeing him in drama with someone to kiss it makes me scream for real!!!! 2022 come faster Please!!!!

So Lala Dec 12 2021 2:08 am I love how dramas about university life are starting to pop up (again), even though they are still specifically about the police. We still don't know how this one will turn out, but to be honest, instead of making dramas about police university again, why don't they try to make dramas about ordinary universities nowadays because I think there's still not many.

We can still count them on our fingers right? Maybe I haven't watched too much drama, but today's university dramas I can remember are only Age of Youth, Cheese in the Trap, Weightlifting Fairy KBJ, and Law School. I don't understand why dramas that TRULY highlight the university life aren't made as often as dramas about high school, when there is so much potential.

I can't stop thinking about this after seeing the thread about the story idea of Vincenzo's college version, where Song Joong-ki is a university hockey player and Jeon Yeo-bin is a law student. I think it's really cool. And by seeing this drama, I really hope in the near future university dramas can be reproduced and multiplied.

hailee Nov 09 2021 4:34 am This is so similar to police university, maybe different plot (like no casino or what that thing is called thingy) but the synopsis here is just like police university but gender swapped pls. But ill give it try maybe since kang daniel is here

MyDream Nov 01 2021 4:26 am Can't wait for their chemistry!! It's disney+ OMG

MyDream Oct 21 2021 4:09 pm Can't wait for this!!!

sxph Oct 18 2021 7:47 pm ....is this not a gender swapped police university lol
