Poor plot, couldn't digest the whole thing. Early half was good.
I don't really write reviews but had to sign up to present my frustration on this drama lol
The first half definitely suited the coming of age, university, hardship, and every other tag mentioned.
I was getting used to the awkward built up to the story with the confused ML's character (still not sure what character Daniel was supposed to portray, other than being the son of the commissioner, I couldn't find any male lead trait), the whole unnecessary bullying from the seniors/trainers but somehow the authorities supporting and calling it their "college culture", the female lead joining the "police" just because her crush studies there..... the plot suddenly changes as these 20 yr old students start chasing and solving crimes on their own. They were then randomly able to run across cities, and knock off some goons, what happened to the strict college timings and training?
I get that they're "rookie cops", but the main crime/corruption/chase/culprit plot is so weak, I lost it when they start unlocking the laptop's code like that, their inability of sending the video inside to the detective, the female lead suggesting the ML to give the video to the ML's father, the ML actually confronting the main culprit by himself, it actually started getting boring as the plot became extremely predictable later on.
It also sounds so unrealistic that a big-name CEO, who actually is able to keep hold of the whole national police authorities, is simply busted by two students, in his own hideout...what! It's unfeasible for a small group of students to carry out such an event on their own and that too without letting anyone else know.
Dae-il's death is a cheap, predictable, and overly used sacrifice plot in crime dramas. The ML was even more stupid for not understanding that Dae-il was in trouble even with that last phone call.
The main crime plot was extremely lacking proper execution, almost a joke to the real-life corrupted police system. It got even funnier when all of the high-ranked police authorities all together resigned from their posts within a single blow!?
I felt no attachment to any of the character's backstories as well, felt like a complete waste of cast due to poor story and direction.
Stayed for Kim Tak and Shin Ari, as they stood out more than the main leads for me. Couldn't get used to the ML's character until the end. The only thing I liked about this whole drama is the random goofiness among the friends and couples. Crime and suspense-wise, an utter disappointment.
