Thanks for taking us on this journey @laica, I loved your pieces on this show and, while it wasn't what it could be, I enjoyed what it was a great deal.

I find that Korean dramas generally tend to prefer to portray the system as fine and blame imperfections on the corrupting influence of one person or one corporation. There are a number of reasons for this. Certainly it's a rare kdrama that's prepared to argue that Korea needs systemic change. In this, as in most other things, dramas fail before Forest of Secrets. But then I doubt Law School was ever trying to compete.

In the end, despite its flaws I enjoyed the show a lot. And I await the cloning of Joon-hwi so we can all get one. I think we all deserve one.

Yes thank you for a recap, it put into words the reasons that I continued watching this show even when I wasn't always 100% sure why myself!

Having binged all the episodes of this show in a matter of days, I'll probably remember it fondly, like a fever dream, or as a drama that always made me feel at least 40% confused 😂

Despite that, I really enjoyed the chemistry between the cast members; I thought they all brought something to the table and complemented each other nicely. I liked Jung-hoon immensely, even though I'm pretty sure I would crack like a boiled egg every time he called me out in class 🤮 Sol and Joon-hwi are obvious favorites - I was a little disappointed we didn't get more clues as to what their current relationship turned out to be, but I'll go watch some fan edits, and hopefully, my shipper heart will recover 😭

The show was far from perfect - it did think it was more clever than it was sometimes - but it was an enjoyable ride; as someone who always liked puzzles, I can appreciate the show for what it tried to be 🧩

Here's to Sol A becoming the best lawyer in SK and proving everybody who doubted her wrong!!

I watched this drama for the relatioship between the students and the teachers.

The rest wasn't interesting. The murder as a plot wasn't the best decision because we didn't know the characters. I really didn't care about this part.

I didn't like Erica Shin. She acted like she was the big sister who knows everything when she was just a twin who ran away without saying anything because she messed up. I didn't like how Sol A felt stupid during the whole drama... I hoped at one moment she would feel more confident.

Aaaah! I'm still on the denial stage that this drama has ended. I liked the pilot week then watched episodes 3-6 just because my Wed-Thurs were free but after the 6th ep, I was hooked (mostly on SolHwi)!!!

I love the students and the teachers. I love how they showed the struggles of Uni students. I love the study group and their bickerings. I love Prof Kim and I'm probably the only one who didn't think she's sus. Prof Yang is amazing as well with all his theatrics. Ye Seul's case is my favorite non-Solhwi moment too. I'm just rambling here but I LOVE KANG SOL A AND HAN JOON HWI. Every scene, every stare, and every smile is etched on my mind and in my heart and I just love them so much. Hah.

💜💜💜

I quite ejoyed this show a lot even when goin in late,especially because of the relationship between these characters...It was fun and the OST rocked!
I wanted to see Sol A to be more confidant and realize that she is great and have more confidence as i felt bad for her even in the last 2 episodes while preparing for the contest considering herself the weakest link and accepting all the words from Sol B with the head low...Kinda funny how in the end she partnered up with Attorney Park jajja...Rediscovered Kim Bum,as i watched him in Nine Tails but didn't wow wow me and wish Ryu Hye Young would get more projects as she truly is an enjoyable actress...Kim Myung Min shined as expected!
Sad we didn't get more obvious end with Joon Hwi and Sol A even if we all know along the way they might end up if someone else doesn't snatch her!

Currently hovering in YouTube to find SolHwi shippers who made videos of their bickering, how Hwi looks at Sol A with his puppy eyes, they're supporting each other, etc etc etc... (and let's assume their ship sailed from the way they look at each other in the last scene) :D

I hope Kim Bum and Ryu Hye Young are in a drama again because they had crazy good chemistry. Better yet let them do a sequel with Sol A and Joon Hwi as our leads.

I did enjoy this show a lot, and while , yes, there had been baffling moments, but I do get what they are trying to say (mostly =). This is still the only show so far that has tackled domestic abuse very realistically, so for that they get a bean. Of course, in my mind, the SolHwi ship sailed too, and it is now out there happily cruising away somewhere. One thing I will also acknowledge, I think the actors playing the villains (Lee Man Ho, AssemblyMan Go and his son) , despite their characters being 1-dimensional, I think nailed their jobs because I hated them so much.

It's finally over, people 😭. You will be missed, show. You weren't the best, but you were pretty awesome in your own way.

So, I wondered why was the drama always bringing up cases with cameras and illicit pictures/recordings. Today I read an article, (please search via google (FT and keywords typed below) if you are interested in questions like: dramas reflect society or society reflects dramas) about how digital crimes haunt South Korean women!
Am now even more glad that I watched this drama and understand a bit of their law but I think I like the director as he stepped up for women :)

Oh and I love Sol A and the way Joon Hwi stares at her! I enjoyed Law School despite’s it’s flaws. Feeling pretty empty now and hoping for something nice to come up and fill my Wednesdays and Thursdays ! Soon!

My main issue is about how they forcefully killed even a slight chance of any progress in joon-hwi and sol-a. He is apparently grateful for her and it's for this reason he keeps looking at her all the time. 🥴

Favorite was obviously the gang and it's antics. ❤️

Sorry to ask this super stupid question but, why was Seo Byung-ju killed?

Pretty good little court drama. I found the translated text was hard to read many times so I wasn't able to follow all the double-crosses and shifting allegiances. Kim Myung-min was great. Loved his hair and his voice. Not all kdramas have manly-men as the lead. Ryu Hye-young played her role great but I still see her as Bora from Reply 1988.

I found the fickleness of some of the students annoying. He is guilty, he is not guilty, he maybe guilty, I'm not sure if he is guilty.

The court scenes were pretty intense because the judge had absolutely no control over them and it was pretty loosey goosey. I don't think they normally allow people to speak whenever they feel like it or turn it into a classroom. But, you gotta drive the plot.

Prosecutor Jin, how could he not be taken down by Ko who I would think would spare no one to get his sentence reduced. The only possibility for retribution for Jin is they were still going to the Supreme Court to determine if the 'leaking information' law was to stand and then he would be sued again.

The second coolest person was Kang Sol B who always played her cards close to her chest and had to struggle with her Tiger Mom who was actually inhibiting her desire to succeed in law.

Erica Shin flew in and flew out. It could have used a family dinner to sort thru the apparently large issues. Not sure why the mother hated her so much.
