Although idealistic, but a good one. I honestly liked this movie.

The story of two young students in the police university set off from a good start. They came here with different start and they both have youthful vigour (which was shown through wonderful acting), yet during the process also get confused about their future. This question of "what to do next?" or "what am I going to do with my life" came to many of us and both of them don't know what to do, what are the prospects. And only witnessing the kidnapping of a young girl pulls them out from the quagmire. What to do? No witness, no evidence, they couldn't chase the vehicle and even the dispatch of a search team and help is impossible, after all all available units are disatched on the search of some mogul's kid. The reality hits hard, what is the life of a kidnapped girl compared to a person with status. Both decide to hold on and investigate themselves and spend the most critical time searching, thus spending the night running around. Thus the title of this movie, I actually really like the title Midnight Runners, it is simple and true to what is happening and I'm not a fan how they interpreted it as "Young Cops" in my language.. after all except for the word ' young' calling them 'cops' feels incorrect, they're still students and the title is too general.

Although the horrids of reality were downplayed, after all the main aim of this movie is to not be realistic and overly depressing, but I must say.. the criminal world is still scary. That is why I said that it was idealistic, I bet in the real world they unfortunately wouldn't have seen the next day. Unless they're Liam Neeson.
But what happened awakened their passionate heart to do what they think is the right thing, despite the consequences. They couldn't turn the blind eye and live knowing that if they leave it to others, then who knows what will happen to the victims.

This movie has that youthful passion of doing what you believe in, because you're young, because you have guts.

On a closing note once again my compliments to the actors, they were great. Came here for Park Seo Joon and stayed for a good watch. Thank you.
