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).
