Not dreadful but not great

Nice cast, bit slow at times, some wit and overall an ok watch, but...
Totally unrealistic, like really! The stuff the police, never mind students, get away with, is hilarious. I mean, ok it's not a documentary and entertainment = poetic licence, but there really needs to be a bit more credibility to so many of the scenes.
Half of what they all get up to would mean zero chance of their weird evidence standing up in any court.
I thought irritating and OTT character, Baek Hee, was a step too far ~ she made me roll my eyes once too often and I didn't find her at all funny.
The camaraderie between the friends was nice and how Dong-man and Sun-ho became closer was too, but the romance was dull and chemistry between actors Jung Jin-young and Krystal Jung was not cooking at all; his acting was quite charming and sweet, but I found her very stiff.
The supporting characters were quite amusing, but none really stood out for me.
I felt the plot dragged on, becoming quite dull; there wasn't much feeling of threat and even though they tried to introduce a selection of guilty looking characters in the latter episodes, it wasn't enough to make me that interested, or bothered.
It has some nice moments and overall is fine as a filler, or dip-in-and-out-of drama, but it's not memorable and not one I'd watch again.
