A mother loosing her child is more painful than a internal stomach ache

I wanted to rate it higher for its unique plot focus but wasn't enough for anything higher.

Juvenile Justice was a social commentary about the broken legal system of South Korea, its clear through the cases and dialogues, but I felt like at times it was trying to push the narrative too much, ending up with unnatural dialogues that wouldn't even happen in a normal conversation.

In a brighter note, I love how is it showing the reality as it is and doesn't push and tell us to believe who and what are the right actions, this character or occurrance might be wrong, but we realise that this it was actually happens, this the law that we have right now.

Furthermore I love how cases are not sugar-coated and isn't all butterfly and rainbows at the end, there's a quote in the show that goes es "the law doesn't protect all victims" our system is based on evidences, without it, justice would also not be found. Also this builds up good unpredictability while showing reality, good job writers!

Kim Hye Soo was the light of the show, such a delight to watch, her eyes speak volumes. Other main casts where also great, can't say the same about exaggerated acting of almost a lot of the supporting cast.

Quite the filler episodes and law drama clichés, felt like it took so long, and that isn't good for a 10 ep drama, resulting in my low story rating.

I wanted to say it was a masterpiece but i just can't, quite the things that cannot be overlooked, still was a great watch and would recommend it to fans of the genre.
