I wish uni would actually be this exiting but also not... You know :D

Law School is, as the title suggests, a drama about a group of law students and their courses.
During a training process (which looked quite fun) a professor gets killed and all the people whose footprints are found at the crime scene are suspected, which leads to a professor and some students being the prime suspect. Some students are sure that their acquaintances are innocent and want to find the true murderer.

I do not know anything about the law and how it works (on that base), but I found it very interesting. I watched some American shows, which deal with similar topics already, so I knew that I would probably like this one, too.
What was absolutely amazing was that all of the characters had a story line. Nobody was there to only have a helping, commenting or antagonistic function. Everyone contributed to the story on their own, and everyone had to carry their own baggage. Especially, Jeon Ye Seul story got me on the edge of my seat.
Repeatedly I was unsure if somebody was on the main character's side or if they switched. In addition, the audience's minds were challenged by the falsification of scenes, which I found genuinely interesting. This is also one of the dramas where you are delighted to see the group growing together over time. People will break out of their comfort zone and realize what's best for them.
I gave the story 9 stars, because it also had length in-between which could have been avoided.

The cast was impressive, no expectation, and I immensely liked the dynamics between them. I think they had a lot of fun of the screen as well, because of the behind the scenes. Shortly to the main lead, Kang Sol [A], played by Ryu Hye Young really portrayed Kang Sols struggle. I am a university student myself and not naturally gifted. To be on the top, I have to work harder than everyone else, and I could see myself in her very well. It made me feel less alone. I guess.
A lot of people in the comments say that they found her pathetic or weird, but I enjoyed watching her.

The drama has two amazing soundtracks. They fitted the situations well and are catchy. But besides them, I did not find the music very remarkable.

You can definitely watch the show again, but it takes some tension, if you know who murdered the professor and how the other problems get solved. But, of course, this is one of the dramas which will be seen from a different side afterwards.

Overall, I thought Law School was a pretty decent drama for people interested in crime scenes, investigations or strong friendships.
