Well-thought out and well-structured, enjoyable show.
Absolutely loved this show.The OST especially, is played at all the right moments, it's absolutely perfect!
I know it has it's flaws, but the way the entire story is actually thought-out is simply amazing. The reveals, the court proceedings, the way the cases and their verdicts actually influence and build up the final moments, flawless!
Absolutely loved this show and learnt so much about law in general. If you want a serious show, that is not TOO serious, and has a really well-thought out, structured and intriguing plot : this one's for you!
Go for it. :)
Happy watching~~

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.

The most surprisingly courtroom drama I've ever seen outhere
Honestly Im a bit shocked abt how good this actually was. I had just finished "Witchs Court" drama until i saw LS on netflix catalogue and i was like "yeah okay im feeling like i need more of courtroom and prosecutors right now" and then i was hit by this masterpiece.I think i have the obligation of putting this on my top 5 kdrama list in this moment. The storytelling is amazong because you never know whats going to happen in the next episodes. It got to a point that i wasnt even questioning anymore because i would put my life into Prof. Yang Jong Hoon hands, really cuz everytime he was doing something suspicious i thought "no, this man KNOWS" its so out of the blue and plot twisted that you get really amazed by how freaking smart this is.
Also, the characters are soooo relatable. Kang Sol A is literally my living thoughts every moment. the drama was focuses on the plot but this dindnt hide the perfect chemistry between her and Han Joon Hwi, i got all the typed of butterflies when i saw the way that he lookes at her. Bcoz THAT MAN became my ideal type of boyfriend.
the way i almost screamed and woke up my entire house when i saw them shining after all the humiliation that the universuty put them through and wearing fancy law clothes and expansive watches. It got me with a feeling of proud, idk.
maybe im too emotional afterall and probably will get kinda embarrased abt how much i wrote hahaha hut i can put the blame on the heat of the moment.
if you ever get the chance, watch it. I bet you wont regret.

i love the cast
the best law dram i ever watched (first and last lol) kidding it was so good. the cast is full of legends. this is one of the reasons why i lote it sm. the story was also good. the friendship between them, the vibes, the story, characters, everything was awwwwwesomee. After watching this drama, I wondered if I should study law. I mean, the only problem is that they are very hardworking (some of them) and very quiet. If I were to study law, I would definitely be like Kang Sol a or Yeseul lol. But still, despite everything that happened, their friendship seemed very sweet to me.Was this review helpful to you?
one of the few perfect dramas
well written and well made drama. every character had depth and an evolution, except that prof yang doesn't need the evolution, he felt like a very reliable protagonist, nothing escaped him, nothing caught him by surprise even though that took away a bit of the thriller element of it because the almighty main lead is going to solve it.every character had their flaws and i found it refreshing because we're not expected to like them either, just a perfect portrayal of competitive people who found themselves in an extraordinary situation

i may be the outliar....
i was looking forward to diving into this drama since i heard great things about it but it felt flat for me. ive watched law dramas before and i have liked them but the style of this drama wasnt for me.i ended up liking two of the side characters, kang sol B and seo jio-ho, more than i liked the main two characters. they felt more compelling to me. i didn't mind that there wasn't really romance center but even some of the bonds of friendship were not strong enough for me.
i especially did not like that they did flashbacks and withholding information only to reveal it later every. single. episode. i like plot twists and this kind of format but not every single episode because it gets too repetitive and boring.
i did like episode 13 though. that was really well done and comedy star of the show, lee chun hee!!

Young Adults Overthrowing The Corrupt Government
The drama has it all, intricate plot without any holes, lively acting, the grandiose of law drama, etc. But you know what else makes me so in love with this drama? The barely-there-romance (or the romance-baiting, for the lack of a better word).In this drama, a group of law students unexpectedly gets tangled in a mess, and ended up working together to solve a big case, in which powerful government officials are involved. It's serious, but also funny, lighthearted and relatable. This absolutely deserves all the hype!
P.S. Prof Yang is the ultimate eye candy here, I'm sorry Han Joon Hwi

THIS IS THE DRAMA
law school is such an interesting drama full of plot twists and with a very talented cast that blew my mind away with every single scene. for the reply 1988 enthusiasts, sung bora (ryu hyeyoung) is here with adult noeul ((woo hyun) and also young noeul's ex gf (lee sookyung). this drama mainly focuses on the death of a professor in a law school and with each episode you learn something new about the professor's death and also the story of the characters. apart from the drama itself being really really good, the ost is also amazing, i was definitely not expecting such a good ost (stream we are by lee seung yoon on spotify). please give it a watch!Was this review helpful to you?
The script is too much
The movie plot is nice, but there’s a lot going on. There are so many characters to focus on, and it’s making the movie a lot stressful to comprehend. There’s no particular storyline, and the time jumps are a lot. It’s almost like they’re trying re-enact a Korean version of How to Get Away With Murder, but they’re doing it all wrong, and the execution of the movie is terrible. The actors though great, also seem like they’re forcing their roles, they are not flowing as much as i want them to with the storyline.Was this review helpful to you?
There should be a law against poorly written scripts!
I won't waste much time on this review, because I only watched 3 episodes, and that was already hard to watch.This is a legal drama about students, but it felt more like a fantasy. How can a legal drama be this unrealistic? I found more plot holes and characters made so many stupid decisions after 3 episodes than in 16 episodes in many other dramas.
Not sure why this drama is so overrated, maybe because most Kdrama fans are not used to well-written stories, or the fact that it was fast paced so it makes the viewer feel like it's good. Even tho it's not.
To be honest, I only wanted to watch this because of the cast, other than Go Youn Jung's character, almost everyone was irritating as hell.
Dumb police, even dumber judges, lawyers and students.
Don't waste your time, if you want to watch a good legal drama find something else.
