I love the characters, all the case study in class, diversity in cases like jury trial and constitutional wow I feel like I’m learning bout law but it wasn’t boring at all, university can’t relate ugh. I want to emphasise on yeseul case, it’s not relatable to me but I understand her so much, the case really got on my nerves and make me cry. I guess this is like my first law related drama which makes me so immersed and emotional in one of the cases. and pleaseee not yangcrates trying to lecture in the court at some point 😭 I love every thing bout this drama, it has this unique charm, and I love that. this drama makes law seems interesting and I wanted to know more and more about all the acts and interpretations. but not to the point that I want to be a lawyer cause damn that looks hard asf (hwaiting to all law students out there!!) I have no complaints except wish we could get more joon hwi x kang sol huhu

It all starts with one murder..
This was such an unexpected hit. I did not expect to like this drama when I first started watching it. This is easily one of the best dramas of 2021 for me. The fact that the story while revolving around one murder case, managed to follow multiple characters' stories weaving them intricately without losing steam for 16 episodes is amazing in itself. An extremely well-paced story with 3D characters who have their own problems and motivations, what more could I have asked for.The glimpse into the lives of law school students and how various cases are handled in general, albeit being fascinating, lacked a little bit of realism, in my opinion. Although I am no expert on law, it would have been impossible for certain courtroom scenes to happen in real life. But what's a law drama without that little bit of flash and bang in courtrooms. Apart from that, my only complaint about this drama is that despite each case having antagonists and villains of their own, ultimately everything lead to one main villain which was a tad predictable and lacked that little amount of punch for me.
Other than that, I absolutely loved everything else. Yangcretes who couldn't help but give lectures even in the courtroom, Professor Kim who used the bad guys to eventually make the good guys win, Sol B who I initially disliked but grew on me as the story progressed, stoic faced Jiho, brave and beautiful Yeseul who's final courtroom scene made me cry, soft-hearted Bokgi, kind but a little lost Seungjae who managed to find his way back in the end, and even Yebum who manages to say the wrong thing almost every time.
Of course, one of the best parts of the drama for me was the will-they-won't-they couple JoonSolA ^o^ Even though the drama didn't specifically confirm that they ended up dating, in my mind, they are endgame periodt. Their little interactions sprinkled throughout the drama were what I looked forward to in each episode and they are what I'm going to miss the most about the drama.

This drama was kinda terrible in the beginning. Trust me, there were moments when I wanted to stop watching this drama because it felt like the writers couldn't set their minds and changed the plot. There were times I was like, "writers, where are we going?"
Poor choice of music. At the beginning, the vibe of the songs/ ost didn't fit the drama but it did later on (as the show improved) and I realised that the problem wasn't the music. The producers put the ost wherever they liked and that nullified the scene's relevance because it was overly used. Just imagine, in every little suspicious or surprising scene, you play an intense song whose lyrics go like 'it's killing me under, it's driving me crazy', who would've taken it seriously?
I usually watch the first two episodes and then decide whether I'll continue or not. But these problems with the show continued, so why did I keep on watching it?
Because of the chemistry between Kim Bum and Ryu Hye Yeong
Their chemistry is OVERFLOWING. I usually don't ship couples who are very different but these two are an exception. They act like a fucking married couple and that is the CUTEST. I kept on watching for them and the show improved drastically and totally improved. And the show really picked up what it was about; the mystery. Trust me, the mystery part gets better. It was kind of all over the place in the beginning but it gets better and starts to make some sense as the show continues.
I really really loved Professor Yang or Yancrates. He's such a baddie, a total vibe. His "your bullshit made me choke" is the most iconic line ever! The other characters are very well performed and laid out. Other than Joon Hwi and Sol A, I really loved Ye Seul, her character was so interesting. I love how all these characters have a past that really explores later on the show and that makes it truly interesting.
I'll definitely reccomend this show. It's plot twists and cliffhangers are nicely put. Other than the mystery and the little bit romance, the friendship in this show is really goals. It's very realistically made. Since all of them are in a law school together, obviously many of them see each other as competition (which is natural) and they might seem selfish at times (you'll know once you watch it) BUT at the end of the day, they're ready to help each other out and that is really remarkable.

Give it a try you won't regret it...!
Just came across by accident, but hooked up completely. The drama was ok until the death of that Prof.Seo, then it would take a complete u-turn. Even if you have chips, if you look down to take it, something would happen in that microsecond. You have to pause and read the articles they have given below, don't skip it its important to understand. The story was amazing, even though I have watched many law dramas, nothing hooked me up like this. Everything was just perfect.But you would face many annoying characters in this drama, even you would killer in your dreams bcz of them. What I like about this drama is every character has their own stories. You might think that you are having the worst life and experiences, but when you watch it you won't think like that. The drama will teach you how to survive. They completely nailed the topic JUSTICE. They brought it out picture perfect. And you would wish to have a professor like Yangcrates. There would be many scenes you would like to rewatch it. I can assure you that ita not like any other normal dramas, its perfect for binge watching. In one line, you won't experience the thing REGRET by watching this....Was this review helpful to you?
The script is too much
The movie plot is nice, but there’s a lot going on. There are so many characters to focus on, and it’s making the movie a lot stressful to comprehend. There’s no particular storyline, and the time jumps are a lot. It’s almost like they’re trying re-enact a Korean version of How to Get Away With Murder, but they’re doing it all wrong, and the execution of the movie is terrible. The actors though great, also seem like they’re forcing their roles, they are not flowing as much as i want them to with the storyline.Was this review helpful to you?
THIS IS THE DRAMA
law school is such an interesting drama full of plot twists and with a very talented cast that blew my mind away with every single scene. for the reply 1988 enthusiasts, sung bora (ryu hyeyoung) is here with adult noeul ((woo hyun) and also young noeul's ex gf (lee sookyung). this drama mainly focuses on the death of a professor in a law school and with each episode you learn something new about the professor's death and also the story of the characters. apart from the drama itself being really really good, the ost is also amazing, i was definitely not expecting such a good ost (stream we are by lee seung yoon on spotify). please give it a watch!Was this review helpful to you?
The most surprisingly courtroom drama I've ever seen outhere
Honestly Im a bit shocked abt how good this actually was. I had just finished "Witchs Court" drama until i saw LS on netflix catalogue and i was like "yeah okay im feeling like i need more of courtroom and prosecutors right now" and then i was hit by this masterpiece.I think i have the obligation of putting this on my top 5 kdrama list in this moment. The storytelling is amazong because you never know whats going to happen in the next episodes. It got to a point that i wasnt even questioning anymore because i would put my life into Prof. Yang Jong Hoon hands, really cuz everytime he was doing something suspicious i thought "no, this man KNOWS" its so out of the blue and plot twisted that you get really amazed by how freaking smart this is.
Also, the characters are soooo relatable. Kang Sol A is literally my living thoughts every moment. the drama was focuses on the plot but this dindnt hide the perfect chemistry between her and Han Joon Hwi, i got all the typed of butterflies when i saw the way that he lookes at her. Bcoz THAT MAN became my ideal type of boyfriend.
the way i almost screamed and woke up my entire house when i saw them shining after all the humiliation that the universuty put them through and wearing fancy law clothes and expansive watches. It got me with a feeling of proud, idk.
maybe im too emotional afterall and probably will get kinda embarrased abt how much i wrote hahaha hut i can put the blame on the heat of the moment.
if you ever get the chance, watch it. I bet you wont regret.

one of the few perfect dramas
well written and well made drama. every character had depth and an evolution, except that prof yang doesn't need the evolution, he felt like a very reliable protagonist, nothing escaped him, nothing caught him by surprise even though that took away a bit of the thriller element of it because the almighty main lead is going to solve it.every character had their flaws and i found it refreshing because we're not expected to like them either, just a perfect portrayal of competitive people who found themselves in an extraordinary situation

Well-thought out and well-structured, enjoyable show.
Absolutely loved this show.The OST especially, is played at all the right moments, it's absolutely perfect!
I know it has it's flaws, but the way the entire story is actually thought-out is simply amazing. The reveals, the court proceedings, the way the cases and their verdicts actually influence and build up the final moments, flawless!
Absolutely loved this show and learnt so much about law in general. If you want a serious show, that is not TOO serious, and has a really well-thought out, structured and intriguing plot : this one's for you!
Go for it. :)
Happy watching~~

There should be a law against poorly written scripts!
I won't waste much time on this review, because I only watched 3 episodes, and that was already hard to watch.This is a legal drama about students, but it felt more like a fantasy. How can a legal drama be this unrealistic? I found more plot holes and characters made so many stupid decisions after 3 episodes than in 16 episodes in many other dramas.
Not sure why this drama is so overrated, maybe because most Kdrama fans are not used to well-written stories, or the fact that it was fast paced so it makes the viewer feel like it's good. Even tho it's not.
To be honest, I only wanted to watch this because of the cast, other than Go Youn Jung's character, almost everyone was irritating as hell.
Dumb police, even dumber judges, lawyers and students.
Don't waste your time, if you want to watch a good legal drama find something else.
