Korean Drama " Police University " is a predictable, boring, drama.

The story has a nice start and some interesting characters, although the main one is so cookie cutter 'good guy struggling' that it gets the plot cheesy and full of cliches. The progress of the story has few surprises to offer as well and the action part, unfortunately, doesn't aid to the entertainment. The romance, in addition, is boring and tiring. Probably, the only enjoyable relationship is between the mentor and the young trainees.

On the other hand, the performances were decent and the actors and actresses did a good job presenting their characters.

So, overall, two out of ten.

The show started decently, promising a lighthearted mix of fun and thrill following the life and development of police rookies. It also raised interesting questions about justice and the use of means, like is it okay to break the rules to catch a criminal, i.e. A murderer escapes by stealing a boat, is it ok to also steal a boat to catch him - and other good questions. However, it became more and more boring, the dialogues flat and stereotypical and the characters unbelievable. A police officer with 20 years of experience answering questions by slapping or stating intelligent questions as irrelevant, acting impulsively as if he were an immature newbie... no wonder he failed to catch the culprits. The chance to cleverly cover the knowledge gap of experienced officers and fresh input of newbies was cheaply given away as were many other good points of the story. The same is true for the dialogues , the pacing, character development. It feels like the writers were in a hurry, briefly touching relevant points, but due to negligence or whatever limited the script to being overly simplistic and moralistic. I endured... and except for the promising start it's a disappointing view. There are far better shows out there.

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.

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.

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.
