I'm enjoying this drama a lot mostly because it's a character-driven show and these people have such interesting stories to tell. It may not be as realistic as other legal dramas but the struggle of these students is relatable in the sense that people do everything they can for their ambitions.

This show is so weird but Sol A is cute.

It looks like Sol B convinced herself she didn't plagiarize, she always looks so confident...

The internship positions were funny :
Han Joon-Hwi : he works for the bad prosecutor who accused him of murder.
Seo Ji-Ho : He went to the villain lawyers defending Ye-Seul's boyfriend.
Min Bok-Ki : he works with the worse lawyer of the show.
Kang Sol A : she asked the guy who made her sister running away from the country to give her a internship place.
Are they doing a contest for the worst internship?

Thank you for the weecap, @Anisa! I'm sad that the internship program will break the group apart. Sol B got the job with the assemblyman because she 'wants to learn how to make laws'. Sol A 'begging' to be let in for the same program doesn't go well with me. She may be in the bottom of the class but she could maybe work for somebody better.

Justice only through the Law has now become the tagline of mockery for this show. We all hope our law to uphold justice, but we've always forgotten that it's human executing those law. Law is a tool, and it's up to the human themselves to create a just society. I guess it is why the screenwriter place the story in a law school, because the law school need to produce more Yangcrates for the law sake, a lot MORE.

It is also why the show focus on individual human, not only good man, but also criminal like that rapist, Lee Man-ho. The attempted murder (not finished yet, because it is still a cliffhanger) suddenly make me think of this, because even a rapist can be the victim of the law, as that damn law is created by Assemblyman Go just to suppress someone like Man-ho. He gets his sentence, fairly or not, and now he is out of jail, he need to be treated fairly as a citizen (although I don't mind in terms of preventing him from harming another girl, putting him under some kind of surveillance, as long as it is fair). His anger towards the Assemblyman is in fact justified: he is judged by the law already, does he need to be judged by the morality of the society again and again?

I am not sure if Law School is realistic or not (I think Vincenzo is not real as well, until Song Joong-ki said in his interview that everything is real except my character--in fact I can chase back some of those cases in that drama with real events). But looking at reputation of JTBC's social conscience in their dramas as well those laws listed below the screen, I doubt if it is really very far from the reality (I also read news, and some of those events--not only the raping case--do exist in reality).

I found it even more interesting that recently I found a trailer of the show (with English Subtitle) that they are using the law code to argue if they should pour the sweet and sour sauce into Tangsuyuk: https://youtu.be/OWIf4WKtAfo

Afterall, law is for human to consume.

Joon Hwi's adorable crush on Sol A and her complete obliviousness is hilarious to me. I also totally agree with @laica, that they should show it isn't at a meritocracy. I think Sol A should celebrate all her victories because it is hard for her and it is nice when hard work bears fruit sometime.

I'm so frustrated, with that ending! I can't hold myself, how am I supposed to?!!! I was anxious because Yang professor's trial for the first half of the drama, now I must worry about Yesoul's fate too!!!

Should I just leave a message on all recaps about how Kang Sol A is the best and how she captures the essence of me as a student.

I am so grateful to her for existing as she pushed me to complete an assignment. She kept telling me that I wasn't alone!

Oh now I just need a Joon hwi who would support me with notes and puppy eyes.

Law school I think you nailed the portrayal of students and their struggles well. I enjoyed the drama though first few episodes were a bit too weirdly edited for me. Kang Sol A... Fighting!

What I find most interesting about Sol B's plagiarism is how unnecessary it was. So far the only students who cheated are the ones who probably didn't need to but were dealing with other things in their lives that put pressure on them in specific ways.
Sol B had the grades and the skill. She could have gotten into Hankurk on her own merit. So why did she plagiarise at all?

The more the show goes on, the more I think her father is right that she desperately needs therapy. It's not even about a redemption plotline. It's about her resolving her conflicting feelings about her dysfunctional family. Her mother's pressure to succeed at all costs and the secret fear that any success she has will be perceived as handed to her from her father and his relatives.

But also Sol B's determination to hold steadfast to a story she knows is a lie resembles the prosecution's determination to do the same thing. They can't honestly believe any of the nonsense they're spouting in court in either case. But they do it anyway, with doggedness. And thus a lie uncontested becomes truth.
