Perfect for those that like How to Get Away With Murder

If you're a fan of How to Get Away With Murder's premise and set-up, Law School will most likely appeal to your taste as well.

Both dramas are very similar to each other, to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if Law School took inspiration from HTGAWM for their writing. Both are set in a law school and open with a murder. Both students and professors come under suspicion, suspect each other, exonerate each other, etc. as they try to figure out who the true murderer is amidst the secrets that each person is hiding. While it's early yet, hopefully Law School can show us something different from HTGAWM, as it currently just seems like a Korean remake of this drama. My rating will change depending on how this drama fleshes out its characters, and if it will bring something new to the table as it progresses along.

Actors and actresses are very well cast. I enjoy how there's no clear-cut hero/heroine, and everyone's characters are morally ambiguous. With the right price and condition, even seemingly righteous characters can do ethically questionable things and vice versa.

OST so far reminds me of Sky Castle's OST, so a little haunting, a little tense. Nothing that detracts too much away from what's on the screen.
