It gave me happy tears, even when I lit never get them while watching dramas!
This is a literal masterpiece, i don't know why I've been avoiding it for a while. I really can't describe in words how happy I am after finishing it!It is one of the very few dramas with crime as a sub-plot
The cast and acting is chef's kiss and the chemy between not only the leads but also among the friend group is awesome
But tbh I am so in love with the leads chemy, i was so excited when they had the first kiss lmao
There's no useless drama and kinda predictable plot, but it's fun trust me
I was kinda living with the characters, a feeling which u def don't get while watching every drama
I was happy seeing them have fun, was frustrated when something was unfair, and mainly moved on with the *death* with them
I can't explain in words how happy I was at the ending, which was the second time I almost cried, first being when Wi seungkyun's father said "you did well" on him catching the criminal
Mark my words, You are missing on a really lot if u are avoiding it

I wasn´t expecting this drama to heal me but it did
I was having a hard time watching dramas, Like I wasn´t able to find a really good one this days.And I even thought that my energy to watch them was gone and it was over (I´m being a littler to dramatic over here).
But this drama healed me for real, I watched it like in two days and I was surprised that it was this good, because I was not expecting so much from this. It keet me hooked since the beginning to the end. The characters where all great and have an story to tell, the acting was good also and I didn´t find a dragging point on this drama (Except the music that was kind of random) but overall it was good and enjoyable drama.
***********
Will never forget how they got me tearing at 2 am because of THAT.
This is not the greatest review, just wanna say it was GOOD and I´m already in love with Kang Daniel.

This is a must watch drama!
In this drama there are a lot of plot twists and its enjoyable because of the many stupid and funny moments that happen. I really reccomend you guys to watch this fully. There isn't a bit of the drama whre there is no action. This is an action packed drama with a little bit of sadness in there. I had so much hipe in this drama that it wouldn't get boring and it didnt fail me. I would say there wasnt a specific part i didn't enjoy. I enjoyed every scene i watched. And also if yall are wondering why one of them look so familiar, it's becauee he played in Crash Landing on You...?Was this review helpful to you?
What even is this....
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.Was this review helpful to you?
The story was well developed with interwoven romance building up to the finale of defeating a psychopath as they battled with hardships and learned some secrets that could've destroyed friendships but didn't let it. The brother's death right at the start j forgot about it until it got brought up again. They learned the true meaning of justice.
It was light and funny with the best friendships between all of them through intersections, the girls together and the boys together
I would love to see more prices with these actors in
However I wished we see the future with them becoming full-fledged cops and now is in the workforce

Rookie crops , indeed
The drama touched on several important themes. Firstly, it emphasized the importance of not enduring harsh punishments for minor mistakes; it encouraged speaking out against unjust treatment. Secondly, it highlighted the value of trust in friendship. Thirdly, it underscored the significance of fighting for the truth, even if it puts loved ones in danger due to their involvement in past wrongdoing. Fourthly, it advised against making hasty decisions, especially when the original purpose for a chosen path has faded. Instead, it suggested taking time to reevaluate before deciding whether to continue or change course.I particularly enjoyed the development of the rookie cops' characters. One storyline that saddened me was the character who died before he could confess his love.
Although the drama occasionally became repetitive due to its case-solving format, each case ultimately interconnected with a past unresolved case, implicating the family members of two rookie cops. As the cases were solved, numerous revelations unfolded.
The chemistry between the lead characters was compelling, and I appreciated the inclusion of parallel love stories.

A beautiful coming-of-age series
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.

Watch if you like profession-based with romance and youthful passion
Did not expect so much from this! I thought would just be like Police University but this has a different magical touch. Reasonable pacing, I did not feel a thing, I just watched it non-stop within 48 hours. So good debut drama for Daniel and partnering him with Soo Bin add so much flavor, an actress who can do any roles with justification without exaggeration. The couple you did not expect to fell in love with. Worth to watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Shout out for Cheon Young Min
There are many very eloquent reviews that I agree with, so I won't repeat what is already out there. I just wanted to give a shout out to/for Cheon Young Min (as Shin Ah Ri). She is super pretty and her acting was awesome. She put a ton of energy and expensiveness into her role and I think she stole the scenes she was in. Loved her and hope to see her as a lead in dramas to come!Was this review helpful to you?
A drama that will remind you of your friends and college days
Rookie Cops is a drama that I expected to be like other high school or college dramas, that can get lost somewhere halfway the run, but that is not the case with Rookie Cops. It is a drama with comedy, romance, suspense and action blended effectively together. A funny scene can turn into something more serious, but it doesn't feel out of the place. The plot for cases and the students investigating them felt a little far-fetched at times, but the actions (even the action scenes!) of characters felt realistic to me, as that is what you would expect a freshman to behave as, whether from a police university or not. It is a drama where strangers become friends and they go on become close companions to each other.During the first couple of episodes, Kang Daniel's character and acting felt stiff and cold to me, but soon you can see the improvement in both. Chae Soo Bin was lovable and relatable as a character as usual. I enjoyed everyone's acting.
The music wasn't too obvious and something that would stick with me, but I found it to be entertaining and suitable for the scenes.
Overall, I enjoyed this show (better than I expected).
