Enthralling Drama - Teaching Law through Real Cases

Judge fairly and make sure no one suffers unjustly!

❤️ Lesson:
In this age, at times it may feel like the law is not just. But remember, one can never hide the truth for long, it ultimately surfaces. Hence, law is imperfect justice, but it destroys those who do not fear it!

❤️ Nutshell Review:
The drama is centered around a law school - its students and professors. Starting with a murder case in the campus, the students, professors, law-keepers and politicians are thrown into the mix, trying to solve it while digging long buried truths of their own. Through the main case and the intertwined cases, we see how a group of students learns, overcome their own faults with their professors guiding them. They come to know the ones who abide by the law and how some can even bend it to their own favor - ultimately it being a test of their integrity and consciousness to stand by the truth and law, which is above all.

❤️ Detailed Review:

This drama is for YOU, if you like to watch a show with:

Intriguing PLOT:

✦ fast paced, edgy and thrilling courtroom drama
✦ exceptional, par brilliant acting and dialogue delivery - especially Kim Myung Min [hats-off]
✦ crisp storylines and thought-provoking cases
✦ mysterious and keeps you guessing whodunnit till the end
✦ law jargons and events explained well, like teaching audience in a classroom [live up to drama name, Law "School"]
✦ ensemble cast with individual stories that intertwine with main story
✦ good wins over evil story OR Truth Triumphs in the long run story [feel-good factor]
✦ great cinematography - especially with close-ups and transitions
✦ even if you make mistakes, if you own up to them and do the right in the end = redemption
✦ each episode ends with a justified cliffhanger, than urges you to binge watch it cause it is too good to be put down

Brilliant CAST and ACTING:

✦ Kim Myung Min:
This is my first time watching him in action and what a treat. His screen presence and aura is literally, palpable through the screen. He has the undivided attention of the viewers as well as the actors in the scene with him, as soon as he enters a room, or speaks. Sheer acting finesse, and all praises for him are justified. Actors are of his caliber are what we would call as gems of a lifetime!

✦ Kim Bum:
This is my second drama of the actor, after the old sensation and my first K-drama, Boys Over Flowers. He still carries his boyish charm, but what we saw as a flicker of good acting in BoF is fully unleashed in his calm, calculating and brilliant demeanor and portrayal of a law student.

✦ Lee Jun Eun:
Effortless as always. I have always mostly seen her in support roles, but what a presence this lady has. She can flip from your cute, bubbly next-door ahjumma to a sharp, tongue-tying woman in a jiffy.

✦ Notable mentions: Ahn Nae Sang, Woo Hyun, Park Hyuk Kwon, Lee Chun Hee and Jo Jae Ryong.
Their screen time might have been less, but their effervescent acting was mighty felt. Again, some of the amazing actors who you may see in many other dramas in support roles and they never disappoint in whatever role they take up!

❤️ Why I Picked this Drama (and maybe why should you too)

✦ I am a sucker for courtroom dramas, and this one went beyond the usual by showcasing it from the classroom angle
✦ I like plots which can keep you guessing till the end, and give a satisfying ending led by great acting
✦ If you like western movies like - A Few Good Men, The Lincoln Lawyer, Primal Fear - definitely watch this drama. You will not regret and add it to your favorites.
✦ If you appreciate, stories within a story - then you will love the narration of this drama!
