I get the feeling Go/Ko's machinations will rise to the surface in the coming trial. Such uncompromising malevolence. His overreach will be his undoing. I think the drama has pivoted interestingly from one character to the next as the details around the death have unfolded.

It's official. I love this show. This is the show I eagerly look forward to each week. The fact that we only got one episode this week broke my heart, but I'll get over it soon enough. I hope.

The students feel like actual students, which we don't always see a lot of in shows. They're stressed about tests and exams, and trying to make it in such a competitive environment. School is stressful like that. I like that we have all these kids and are given the chance to get to know them.

In contrast to Sol A, Prof. Yang and Ye-seul, cowardliness and selfishness of Sol B and Seung-jae stands out. They would rather send an innocent man to jail, have his life ruined than admit their mistakes.
I know show will somehow redeem them but I don’t want that. They can remain cowards and selfish which would be true to reality. Not everyone can be courageous.

All we needed was another trial to worry about. Btw, is that legally ok for prof Yang to be Yeseoul's attorney?

In terms of recent potential presidential candidates involving in a K-Dramas, Assemblyman Go will probably be the most hateful one. His shamefulness is on the next level even compare with that unrealistic Sigma in Sisyphus. I also find it interesting quite a lot of antagonists featured in K-drama are thinking he is invincible and believe he is over the laws. Joon-woo in Vincenzo is simply mad, and this Assemblyman is simply a bit more calculated, but his attitude of going all in (Going for Attempted Murder instead of an easier Assault) will probably backfired on himself, even as he said his son was "deleting" instead of "sending out" those image: that itself is a Sexual Assault charge already.

Watching this show needs a lot of brain power as well emotion control. Law maybe just some past cases as well some fancy wording on the law code, after all executing them are human, and we are not faultless. JTBC is also a channel good at dramas depicting social issues and pointing out problem in South Korean society. I simply wonder if this society is that hellish, although I did read some of those articles expressing some terrible things happening ... Some experience tells me if its citizens simply judge some of their public figures by some simple moral codes instead of think deeper and careful to make conclusion, that society is really hell.

i have a huge crush on ryu hye young lmao i am gonna go thru all her dramas (minus 88) and watch them. hopefully this stays consistent cos i wanna see ha.

That cracking sound is this show suddenly becoming un-put-downable. So I'm glad I waited until it was nearly finished before starting it. Although it wasn't deliberate, I'm glad I'm not waiting a week for new episodes. I wish it had kind of gotten to this point slightly sooner but I think the reason is that I'm much more invested in the Ye-seul case than the main case. And that has a lot to do with how ridiculous it is that every character in the cast trooped through the murder victim's office the day of the murder. It feels like the setup for a television show rather than a real case.

There’s a rather unbelievably large web of connections between all these people—and surprisingly, I find that enjoyably silly rather than a flaw in the show.

I don't know if this is a conclusion I came to after this episode, since I never let a pre-empted episode exist alone. But I'm starting to get the feeling that one of the show's themes is that the legal world is a small one and that everyone will intersect all the time. This is an elite school and that means something when this small number of elite students are going to take the small number of elite jobs. So for them the legal fraternity is very small and it intersects with the media and politics.
