I have to admit, i could only watched the first 2 episodes. I don't think I was the target audience I tried to watch this show after, "Partners for Justice", and this just doesn't compare. Other than Oh Man-seok, I don't think I was familiar with any of the other actors. But it was a little predictable, an orphaned character taken in by a family friend, who grows up and becomes adept on a computer and a try hard police officer, who tries to do things outside of the box which gets him into trouble with his superior, so gets demoted from active duty. But production wise, it was up there with any K-Drama, it was the script that let this show down.

It had a good concept and it started off actually decent but it derailed unbelievably hard and quick after episode 2. As If there was a switch flipped. It almost seemed as if the writer lost interest and handed over the wheel to an intern. The drama got seriously dumbed down to the nth degree and the cheese meter got turned to 11. The performance of the younger cast was weak, and the older cast seemed to take the easy way out, delivering lackluster performances for their relatively insignificant and undemanding roles. Cha Tae Hyun is usually good but somehow he's unable to show an expression other than him pouting all the time. The plot surrounding the villain was poorly developed and ended up being lame, as expected. The whole romance in the drama was nothing but childish. The portrayal of the police life was dull and uninteresting. The drama is a strong contender for the worst love triangle out there as well. The last episode was solely dedicated to pair everyone with someone forcefully because reasons?!

By episode 12, it did bug me enough to write a review.

How should someone like that train prospective police officers. He reacts too impulsively instead of using his advantages wisely, for example when he takes the bug and runs off with it, any really good investigator would have left it there and misled the listener, or when he has the crook's cell phone and calls the number, he only runs around to check when he has already hung up.

Why are they talking so loudly in the big hall, everyone could listen and he doesn't have a PokerFace either.

I know it's a series but these things are annoying because it's not believable.

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.

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.
