Just as good as the Korean movie version

That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
You guys don't know- I have been looking for the Japanese series version to the Korean movie 'Midnight Runners' for a very long time as I totally adore the movie with all of my heart. And sometimes a new version of something that one holds dear can either be a hit or a miss. This series was definately a hit with me. I saw it on an illegal site in I think the year 2024, but when i went to see if I could watch it last year, the series was just...gone. So, I don't know why, but I looked for it recently and found all of the episodes on another site. And I was so grateful- because the Japanese did an excellent job in retelling the movie (with some parts of it in episode 1 and the whole storyline in episodes 2 and 3) as well as exploring new cases in the remaining seven episodes.
And what can I say? I utterly loved it. It introduced us to more police academy cadets as well as it gave us more chacrter development on the two male leads. The series was not only funny, it was emotional and also the bromance was so well done just as how it was in the movie. This was a quick, enjoyable watch for me as I finished all episodes in one sitting on one day . I honestly believe that more people should definatley watch this series.
