Amazing drama
Law school!!!!! It was nice drama with many twist and turns but we all need season 2 for it is end . I really love high school with court dramas like some dramas (Solomon perjury or class of lies). But this drama is quite opposite of other two because of it ‘s story and as well as it suspense , I love the main character ( hero) helps the children how to learn and survive in this world as well as he protects them with his intelligence, only one thing that left me who killed professor seo ? In his cabin it became more mysterious from start till the end they did not reveal the killer ! But they suddenly ended the story like nothing happened at all, like he died ! Whether it is a homicide or murder nobody knows ! Ah, as well as when they will release it’s season till then it will be a suspense how he was killed and why! I neeeed season 2 for series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
If you like suspense and mystery this is the drama for you
I watched this while it was still airing and im very glad i did.It is a very fun watch the will leave you at the edge of your seat, it has a cast of very likable characters that you will enjoy seeing. It has a lot of lessons of law, politics and corruption, winch the story handled well for the most part.
It is not a perfect story, the ending seemed rushed and a few story lines just fizzled out or never got completed. at the beginning it has a very complex way of seeing the world and how the law works and how corruption is inescapable, but at the end everything just got resolved in a fairly simplistic way.
But overall i really enjoyed watching this show and it made me feel interested in law, so i recommend you give it a watch :D

Courtroom Drama can't get better than this
Law School laid a strong foundation from the very beginning with twists and turns, and never once distracted itself from the intense court sessions in proving who's guilty and who's not.The performance of overall cast was terrific, especially of Myung Min as Prof. Yang along with Kim Mun as Han Joo Hwi and Hye Young Ryu as Kang Sol A. The screenplay was tight and the execution of the story was very effective. Adding a cherry on top of the cake, the OST was brilliant reaching straight to my heart.
Law School displayed a great execution of laws that prevail in South Korea and the way they are executed in a very effective manner, leaving the audience with nothing but awe for its entire premise altogether. This is definitely an addition to my Top 10 dramas of this year.
My Rating : 9.5/10

The plot is really interesting but...
This shows is one of the few shows that I enjoyed vary much and I would definitely recommend it to others. This show can be a great opening for those of you that havent watched kdramas before. I have watched many kdramas so far and Im a strict person but this show really surprised me. My expectations are sky high now but there’s only one little thing that pissed me off towards the ending: the “identical twin” thing. I just find it overmwhelming. To be honest many of the recent kdramas had atleast one pair of identical twins. Its good when you see this kind of thing every now and again but too much of it is just not good. So of I were the director, I would definitely delete it. The casting and the acting was so good. Music really surprised me it was better than other kdaramas Ive seen.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Amazing
I am not going to lie, I was debating whether to start it or not because many law dramas are kind of fictional. I was so wrong for even thinking about not starting. This was mindblowing! I was immersed from episode 3 with not only the story but every character and their background. This story perfectly narrates the potholes when it comes to law and how justice may seem achievable but it is far from easy. I love the bond between the characters where it doesn't get toxic but instead strengthens as time goes. I recommend this a hundred times so please start watching... also happy ending:)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
umm... I kinda want to study law now?
Guys it was really really good. I just finished watching and like I can't even express it right now.I will organize the positives and negatives into points and then go into more detail.
Positives:
- the story is bomb
- evidence isn't always "by chance"
- the characters are likeable
- you can emphasize with the characters
- the drama is almost separated into sections
- it is sassy
- it makes you feel smart
- the music is great
- humour and seriousness at the right times
- somewhat realistic
- not cheesy
- you might learn something about the law (Korean law)
- good actors/casting
- it makes you want to study law
Ok so the story is very good. If you've watched "Class of Lies" it kind of reminded me of that, but in "Class of Lies" a lot of the evidence was found by chance. In this drama the teachers and students actually looked into the cases and proved a lot of evidence instead. That I liked, because the students kind of got better at doing it as the drama continued and there was some character development in that department. On top of that, the drama is based off/the main characters are the members of the study group. Everyone in the study group is quite different from the other, which makes it interesting to watch them together.
It's also easier to develop a favourite character, which personally, I think is very important. While watching the drama, it might not seem obvious, but the drama had sections for a couple of the study group's members. You'll see what I mean, but during those sections, you learn a lot about one certain character.
Now, the contents of the drama is also great. It has the right amount of sass, humour, seriousness, cuteness and sadness. Of course since it is a drama about law, it is mostly serious with hints of the other components. An important thing to note is that it was rather realistic. Occasionally I will catch a drama that is serious, but not really realistic. I would say that this drama is pretty realistic because all the evidence and clues make sense, although it'd be quite rare for what happened in this drama to happen in real life. To add on, the music is perfect. There aren't many lyrics, but when there are they're very simple. I liked that factor because I always picture a very academic place to be minimalistic. They also use simple things like heaving breathing as background music. Despite the music being simple, it is always freaking stuck in my head and I literally repeat them to myself all the time.
A couple bonuses is that you might learn something about the law. I believe that the staff and cast did their part of the research on Korean law. I think that the legal lines and some of the cases are real, but don't quote me on that. I loved the casting and I thought that everyone was fit to the role they were given. A random thing is that it might make you interested/want to study law. Ngl it low-key happened to me....
Negatives:
- they talk fast (maybe I'm just slow at reading)
- you have to remember a lot of names/law terminology to minimize confusion
- easy to get lost
- a lot to process
Ok not many negatives, I promise it won't be that long lmao. So, I thought that they talked fast and I had to go back to read the subtitles. It is a negative, but I understand because I would imagine that lawyers speak faster. This also might just be that I'm a slow reader. Another thing is that there's a lot of people's names to remember. I would suggest to know them by heart because their relationship to one another could get complicated and everything will be easier once you match the names to the faces. However, it is not something I would change because then it would affect the complexity of the case. It was just a little hassle that's all. Now, other factors when watching a rather complicated drama like "Law School", is that it is also much easier to get lost and there's a lot of information to process. So maybe clear your mind a little bit before starting and pace the episodes.

Amazing Acting and Perfect Plot
I hope that this drama will be valued by many, because it is an example of perfect team work of all the crew.The plot is well though through and always leaves you wondering what's coming next. I haven't seen such a tense and dramatic story for quite a while. I just couldn't stop myself from starting the next episode right after finishing the previous one. And in the end, though the ending was balanced and good, I wished for more. The story is well written, all main characters have their own histories, and it is put in such a way that you don't get bored, but somehow being drawn in their lives until the point when you sympathise with each of them.
The main theme is demanding, but also so understandable to anyone. That helplessness that you feel, when someone with more power, money, connections gets the best in life and tramples over less fortunate ones. Through the prism of personal tragedies of the main heroes it didn't seem pompous or artificial, but very human and heart-breaking sometimes.
The cast is awesome. Kim Bum proved once again his talents, and the chemistry they have with Ryu Hye Young is superb. I so wished to see more hints that they stay together in the end, but the slight mist of unspoken words didn't make it less good. There is enough cute scenes, in which you see the real emotions and can guess all the rest. Anyway this romantic tint was a perfect find, adding even more human touch to the show. I often miss this in investigative dramas. What is also important each character undergoes changes, but never steps out from the character itself. I saw many shows, where main character who in the beginning was a certain type suddenly changes into something else, when his deeds and behaviour become inconsistent as if it is a completely different human being. Good script in this drama and awesome acting never gives you this kind of dissapointment.
Music is very good. I've added a few new songs to my playlists. Every song is in its place highlighting the atmosphere and so memorable, that I know if I hear it anywhere else the scenes from the show will float before my eyes.
I recommend the show to all who like tense mind-twisting mysteries, but it would be also good for those who like criminal shows focused on human stories, which are being brough before the law.

Characters: Now this one is the perfect choice for the drama. Ryu Hye Young as Sol A nailed her role. She was so cute, funny, and relatable. Han Joon Hwi also is so smart that it makes me like him more lmao. The students were funny together and they had good chemistry. The profs also, specially Prof Yang. I admired their knowledge of the law (because it's rare to actually see people sooo knowledgeable of the law in real life) so they were cool. I just wished we get more Joon Hwi x Sol A moments but then, this is a crime drama so what do I expect lol. I just think they were cute togetherr, we only got crumbs ㅋㅋ
OSTs: They were also good, perfect, and catchy.
Overall thoughts: I wish the cast get together in another drama. I'd love to see them work in another genre. I didn't give it a perfect rate because at some points I was confused and some things were just so-so but overall, I like this drama.

Law School = one of 2021's best K-drama!
Story:The plot is pretty good with a good amount of plot twists and the individual study squad's stories/cases were fairly interesting. There were moments when I was genuinely pleasantly surprised, but there were also moments where I can already predict what will happen. The characters were all well written. I loved Kang sol A, Kang Sol B and Han Joon Hwi. I personally love their attitude, dedication and determination towards their goals and towards their passion for law. It can be seen through their stories.
Acting/cast:
I love the cast's acting a lot. They bring out their character's emotions really well, and allowed the audience to feel it.
Music:
The OST is fitting for this drama. It does give a sense of suspense.
Rewatch value:
Personally, I would rewatch this for certain scenes!
Overall:
It is a good law drama which would allow you to have a look at what law students do in law school. I learnt a lot about law in just 16 episodes. I would recommend everyone to give a try, it was worth my time.

Solid plot
Objectively I think the writing for this series is super solid — all the characters had their role and personalities, and all their subplots were tied into the main story and the law school experience quite well. I was really intrigued by the whodunnit-style plot and how we gradually figured out how other cases and figures factored into it.Because there were so many subplots, however, I definitely liked some more than others; a domestic violence case was really touching and realistic, while others about corruption and media didn't really appeal to me that much. In the end, though there were some scenes that I liked, the overarching plot was interesting but not mind-blowing.

A must watch
It's definitely a 100.The story begins with a murder mystery and entangles with the emotions of the law school students. Every episode is a new turn, a new twist. You can never get bored. You just keep asking for more. It has all the elements of a perfect drama- comedy, friendship, romance, mystery, murder, fight, psychological war - all right in the law school. Every character is new and refreshing with their own dark past. Slowly, as the story untangles, everything falls into place. Amidst all this, the friendship/romance between Han Joon Hwi and Kang Sol A gives us a quick getaway from all the seriousness and adds the element of a typical k-drama.
I really like the music and I love the cast. Especially Kim Beom ♡. I don't usually watch dramas again but this is definitely worth it.

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Law School " is a court drama full of twists and turns.With a dark academia feel to it, the story follows a group of law students as they are shocked to discover that their beloved teacher is accused of a crime. That triggers a series of revelations about the students and the whole school system.
The drama has a unique way of presenting things, often blending the current events with the timeline of the past, which got confusing more often than not.
It also got a bit stuffy towards the middle, and the first few episodes were not as intriguing, but the ones that followed the main characters as they revealed their true colours were quite enjoyable.
The performances, in addition, were pretty great from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.
