Police University Episode 2 Recap
Police University episode 2 sees Kang Sun Ho meeting Yoo Dong Man once again, but now as a student applicant and a university professor. During Kang Sun Ho's interview for the National Police University, he proved his worth for a slot with his wit and realistic answer that caught the interviewers' attention.
Unlike other applicants, being a police officer is not Sun Ho's dream as he never had anything to call a "dream". His desire to attend the university came from Oh Kyung Hee who desperately wants to be a police officer, and perhaps Sun Ho was copying her. But the fact that he has something to call a dream made his father happy and now, he cannot give up on his newfound dream.
Despite being demotivated by Yoo Dong Man, Kang Sun Ho gets admitted to the National Police University, while his best friend Yoon Seung Bum gets enlisted in the Marine Corps. However, to become an officially registered student at the National Police University, the trainees need to endure the exhausting Chungram Training and avoid getting disqualified.
Specifically, Kang Sun Ho experiences a "special treatment" from Yoo Dong Man, but in a negative way. Yoo Dong Man tries to exhaust Kang Sun Ho by dragging down his dignity and pointing out that he is not qualified to be a police officer, let alone staying in the university.
By the end of episode 2, Kang Sun Ho and two more trainees from his unit get caught eating ramyeon noodles by a patrol officer. But, instead of the three, only Kang Sun Ho was punished doing drills as he insisted that he was alone. Yoo Dong Man gets a call from his police officer colleague. It was revealed to him that his online hacker friend is Kang Sun Ho, which raised expectations for next week's episode.
