 "markdown": "# Rookie Cops (너와 나의 警察授業)\n\n**Rookie Cops** (너와 나의 경찰수업, *Neowa Naui Gyeongchalsooeob*, literal title \"You and My Police Class\") is a 2022 South Korean coming-of-age drama series set at the Korean National Police University, where freshman cadets navigate harsh training, dormitory life, romance, and campus incidents<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>. It was released as a Disney+ original in 16 episodes from January 26 to March 16, 2022, directed by Kim Byung-Soo and written by Lee Ha-Na<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup>.\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original title | 너와 나의 경찰수업 (*Neowa Naui Gyeongchalsooeob*), literal English title \"You and My Police Class\"<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup> |\n| Run | 16 episodes, January 26 to March 16, 2022, Wednesdays on Disney+<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/59793/rookie-cops)</sup> |\n| Production | Studio & NEW production for Disney+; director Kim Byung-Soo, writer Lee Ha-Na<sup>[4](https://welcon.kocca.kr/cmm/fms/crawling/ott2all_%EB%AF%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%B3%B4%EA%B8%B0?atchFileId=FILE_7b6278fe-607a-422e-a63e-56cbcf47f7c4&fileSn=1)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup> |\n| Leads | Kang Daniel as top-ranked freshman Wi Seung-Hyun; Chae Soo-bin as supplementary-admission student Ko Eun-Kang<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup> |\n| Setting | The Korean National Police University, with an in-story background year of 2017<sup>[5](https://d.namu.moe/w/%EB%84%88%EC%99%80%20%EB%82%98%EC%9D%98%20%EA%B2%BD%EC%B0%B0%EC%88%98%EC%97%85)</sup> |\n| Ratings | IMDb 7.5/10; Korean age rating 15+, US rating TV-14<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Rookie_Cops)</sup> |\n| Availability | Disney+ internationally; Hulu in the United States<sup>[6](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Rookie_Cops)</sup> |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise and characters\n\nThe story follows Wi Seung-Hyun ([Kang Daniel](https://www.edgepedia.org/kang-daniel)), a freshman who entered the police university at the top of his class and hopes to follow in his father's footsteps; his father is the chief of the Korean National Police Agency<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-1ee1837c-d750-4521-a95c-8b732a2f4a94)</sup>. Ko Eun-Kang ([Chae Soo-bin](https://www.edgepedia.org/chae-soo-bin)) is a supplementary-admission student who enrolled because of a person she likes, and the two clash repeatedly while becoming the center of the university's incidents and accidents<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/Rookie_Cops)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-1ee1837c-d750-4521-a95c-8b732a2f4a94)</sup>.\n\nThe supporting freshman ensemble includes Kim Tak (Lee Shin-young), Ki Han-na (Park Yoo-na), Seo Bum-ju (Kim Woo-seok), Yoo Dae-il (Park Sung-joon), and Woo Ju-young (Min Do-hee)<sup>[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/59793/rookie-cops)</sup>. Each of the new students has a designated image color, a detail worked into costumes and props<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>.\n\n### Structure and plot\n\nThe series uses a two-track structure: small campus incidents are resolved within each episode, while a larger mystery hidden inside the university advances slowly across the season<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>. Early episodes center on the Cheongram training for new students, in which senior cadets impose hierarchy and coercive discipline, and Seung-hyun comes into conflict with them; Eun-kang is falsely accused of secretly filming the training and faces expulsion<sup>[7](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-1ee1837c-d750-4521-a95c-8b732a2f4a94)</sup>.\n\nThe romance develops against school rules: after their first kiss, Seung-hyun and Eun-kang begin a secret relationship because campus rules forbid couples<sup>[7](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-1ee1837c-d750-4521-a95c-8b732a2f4a94)</sup>. During summer vacation field practice at a police substation, the freshmen encounter the respected young CEO Jo Han-sol, whose shocking true nature is revealed, and the season's final episodes tie the campus mystery to a decade-old case in which police-university student Kim Hyun-su died during an operation, a case connected to Seung-hyun's father<sup>[7](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-1ee1837c-d750-4521-a95c-8b732a2f4a94)</sup>.\n\n## Production and release\n\nThe drama was produced by the Korean studio Studio & NEW for Disney+<sup>[4](https://welcon.kocca.kr/cmm/fms/crawling/ott2all_%EB%AF%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%B3%B4%EA%B8%B0?atchFileId=FILE_7b6278fe-607a-422e-a63e-56cbcf47f7c4&fileSn=1)</sup>. The Japanese guide Kansuki describes it as the first original drama Disney+ made in Korea, while Time magazine calls it Disney's second Korean original of 2022<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://time.com/7306693/best-k-dramas-disney-hulu-prime-video/)</sup>.\n\nBecause it is a Disney+ original, the series has no Korean television viewership ratings<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>. Kansuki reports that it reached 4th place at its peak on the Korean OTT buzz ranking, was the number-one title on Disney+ in Korea 33 times and in Taiwan 18 times, and reached 11th worldwide<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>.\n\n## Reception\n\nThe soundtrack includes a Korean-language version of \"Hush Hush\" sung by Kang Daniel featuring the musician MIYAVI<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>. Kansuki notes that the young cast and Nam Hae-seong's music were well received, while some Korean criticism held that the depiction of police-university life was too light<sup>[2](https://kansuki.com/kdrama/w/135)</sup>.\n\nTime's retrospective placed the show among K-dramas not on Netflix, describing it as a bright romance that sets realism aside for a typical K-drama approach, yet still a surprisingly spry police procedural even though the police element is not the main attraction<sup>[8](https://time.com/7306693/best-k-dramas-disney-hulu-prime-video/)</sup>. A Screenwise parent review similarly characterized it as an easy, safe watch compared with gritty Western police shows, suited to younger teen viewers<sup>[9](https://screenwiseapp.com/media/rookie-cops-show)</sup>.\n\n## References\n\n1.
