The series follows the story of a devoted detective and professor Yoo Dong Man (Cha Tae Hyun). He then teams up with a student and former illegal hacker, Kang Sun Ho (Jun Jin Young), to investigate a case.
At their conference, Director Yoo Kwan Mo describes the series. He shared, “It is a summer vacation drama that the whole family can watch together.”
“I think it’s the version of the KBS drama series Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, and Sherlock Holmes. Please look forward to it.”

“I didn’t have to prepare much for a detective. This time, I had to do it like a detective and a professor, so I decided to do it because it was a little new,” he reveals.
The actor also shares that he never played a role as a professor. He continues, “It was my first time, so I was looking forward to it and worried about how to handle it.”
There were quite a few difficult terms, so I wanted to look natural. I thought I’ll only do well as scripted,” Cha added.

On the other, Jung Jin Young chose Police University as his first work after his military discharge.
Even though the actor hasn’t acted for a while, he passionately describes his character. “He was a friend with no color, but he developed his dream by meeting with the professor and Kang Hee.”
He continues, “I thought Kang Sun-ho should show his development. It was quite difficult. That’s why I wanted to understand my character’s situation,” showing love for his role.

Furthermore, Jung Soo Jung transforms into a new character different from her previous ones. The actress plays Oh Kang Hee, who dreams of being a police officer.
“I studied hard at the action school and learned things like judo’s basic posture and grammar,” the actress tells her preparations.
Soo Jung added, “I was honest, and just with my character, so I was thinking about how to speak with justice.”
The actress also reveals her thoughts about her new role. “I’m curious about the characters or jobs I’ve never done before. So I want to continue doing something new,” Jung Soo shared.
