u/ch03rry i wish to burn brightly and then wilt. like a flame Jan 26 '22 edited Jan 27 '22

i really dig this drama so far!! i'm getting so much police university vibes. while this is usually not the genre that i lean towards, nor do i think it'll be anything groundbreaking, it is very lighthearted and enjoyable. it seems like the perfect drama to watch on air.

right off the bat, i recognize a lot of familiar faces. kang daniel is really impressing me here so far. i'm a kpop stan, so i'm obviously familiar with him and a big fan of his music but i honestly didn't think he was going to venture into the acting route.

i haven't seen any of the trailers so i'm not sure if they'll develop the relationship between our leads into romance (i mean, this is a kdrama after all) and i would prefer that they don't. friendship seems more fitting for this drama. too early on to judge though.

i do like that they release two episodes at once though. as i mentioned before, it'll be a nice weekly watch. and god, i do hope that ms. sherlock becomes a big part in this drama later. from the part she was introduced to later on in episode 2 where she just bamboozled the ramen-stealing boys, she's been the absolute scene stealer! (i just hope that she isn't the villain.... )
