By the 13th episode (almost the end), there are a lot of things that are slightly annoying, but overall a decent plotline.

However, the girl Kang-Hui - oh dear lord. So she breaks up with him when he refuses to give up. Just like that?! What the frick.... 🙄

Maybe it gets better towards the episode ... But you can imagine my frustration levels that mid episode I'm compelled to write a review. Sometimes, they do give us the most irritating heroines who just shouldn't be....

I hope the ending sort of leaves me with a sense of justifying the time spent on this. But if Kang Hui continues to be this daft and selfish and just plain irritating and if kang sun ho doesn't move out of the puppy face for her then I'm gonna really regret investing my time in this. She broke up. MOVE ON. And stop paying attention to what that silly irritating girl does.

It's just a meal ticket. Salary dump. The story is slow, long, not funny, in all kinds of genre. So mixed up, sprawling, dumbed down, it is like a teenager trying to find oneself.

Only the basic setup is clear. A veteran police office relegated to police university teacher. And a young computer whiz who has no direction in life.

They go through the training, have side kicks, friends, love interest, other teachers. In trying to catch a gambling ring. Just way too many characters that do nothing really. For one long plot that crawls along from one red herring to another.

There is no grit, no realistic investigation, but instead, guesses, having fun and slow motion walkabouts. That should tell you something.

The series is very boring and vulgar. A romantic relationship is, annoyingly slow, and silly.

It is incomprehensible what mistake the hero commits, in order for the heroine to humiliate him and separate from him. What makes matters worse is that the hero humiliates himself more in front of the heroine and testifies that he is not worthy of her love????

The hero defends and tries to achieve the truth and records for what he believes in, so what is the shameful matter in the pain???? "Korea Drama 🙄 " !!! .

The worst thing about the series is the exaggerated idealism that has nothing to do with reality.

"Your father has cancer and either you steal some money from the bad guys or you let your father die. The right choice is more than obvious." Certainly, I will not let my father die for (a law that does not believe in justice)!!!. " There is a very big difference between protecting the law and protecting the right. Either you are a lawyer for the law, even if it is unjust, or you are a lawyer for the just because he is always right.

Unfortunately, as long as Korean dramas adhere to an unrealistic ideal, Korean works will never be dubbed into international languages.

The cast's performances are smooth and subdued, the photography is beautiful, and the directing is flawless. Bad and vulgar opus.

Everyone goes around spewing justice, rules and regulations blah blah and promptly breaks them all. Professors sit to drink with students. Everyone shouts as if the others had a hearing problem. Characters appeared and disappeared at will. Every evidence , In USBs, ledgers, that was precious to pin the culprit was carried around like a newspaper. Ouch. The student trainee was more intelligent than the Professor and could think through issues and connections better.

It got so tiring I just stopped bothering. . The lead pair were dead as dodos.

This Korean comedy drama is centred on a group of students at the titular Police University and their instructors; particularly trainees Kang Seon-ho; his potential love interest Oh Kang-hee and lecturer Yoo Dong-man. The story opens with Detective Yoo Dong-man working to bring down an illegal online gambling ring with the help of a hacker known as 'Yoon'... who just happens to be Kang Seon-ho. When the latter's adoptive father needs medical treatment he uses his skills to steal the money from the gambling ring. This leads to them moving their operation just before their planned arrest. Dong-man arrests Seon-ho but ultimately releases him without charge. After this Seon-ho applies to join the police and attends their university; here he is shocked to find the new professor is recently transferred Dong-man, who is initially determined to get him thrown out! Not surprisingly Dong-man refuses to drop his pursuit of the gambling ring and ends up teaming up with Seon-ho again. Eventually a small group of students are unofficially helping him as they start to fear the ringleader may be close to the University.

I thought this series was a lot of fun. The drama is solid, with plenty of tense moments and a decent mystery concerning the person behind the illegal gambling ring. There are also plenty of laughs to be had, usually provided by secondary characters, and touches of romance. I admit that the title and opening had me expecting a Korean version of 'Police Academy' it doesn't take that route so anybody expecting non-stop gags are likely to be disappointed; similarly those hoping for gritty realism won't be too happy... however if you want a fun show which provides a good mystery, laughs and romance you could do worse. The characters are fun to watch and the acting is solid. Overall I'd certainly recommend this; just don't expect it to be too serious.
