KBS’s upcoming drama Police University (formerly Police Academy) has released a fun new retro-style teaser featuring the lead actors: Cha Tae-hyun (Team Bulldog: Operation Off-duty Investigation), Jinyoung (My First First Love), and Krystal (Search).
The drama is centered around Jinyoung’s character, a former hacker who decides to change his path. When he enrolls in a police academy, he meets fellow cadet Krystal and teacher Cha Tae-hyun who both influence his life in a new way.
While Krystal seems to be a model student, Jinyoung initially clashes with Cha Tae-hyun due to their differing approaches. When a problem is at hand, Jinyoung relies on his intellect and is quick to use his head to solve it. But veteran detective Cha trusts his own experiences and instincts, generally acting first and thinking later. Hijinks ensue when Jinyoung and Cha are partnered together to solve a case, but naturally, the two learn to cooperate and develop their own brand of buddy cop bromance.
In the newly released teaser, we get a cute look at our three main characters in what looks like a fashion photo shoot for police uniforms. The props are simple and add to the charm of the video as we see the actors posing and mugging for the camera. The three have fun interacting with each other, and they parade back and forth as they switch from their regular dress to their police attire.
The editing and style of the video mimic the photo spreads that were popular in South Korean 90’s fashion magazines, and the vibe is boosted by the background music as well. As the clip comes to a close, the captions introduce the names of the leading actors: Jinyoung, Cha Tae-hyun, and Jung Soo-jung (Krystal).
Written by Min Jung and directed by PD Yoo Kwan-mo, KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Police University premieres on August 9.
