Must-watch for anyone interested in powerful social commentary
Extremely good. While it may not reach the level of a professional mock trial, it maintains a high level of tension throughout, although I did feel some of it was written unfairly to benefit Seo Yeon for plot contrivances. The acting of the students is amazing, particularly Ji Hoon and So Woo. Jang Dong Yoon and Seo Young Joo are both so good. Combined with a compelling story, their scenes gave me chills and brought me to tears a few times, which is rare for me.
The storyline is engaging and thought-provoking, delving into the complexities of adolescene, justice, and morality. Each character is well-developed, with their motivations and backstories adding depth to the narrative. The cinematography is also visually stunning, effectively capturing the mood and atmosphere of the series. Each episode introduces new elements and twists for the trial, and a huge plus for me is the BGM which has a Harry Potter vibe and really hits the emotional beats of the story.
However, I do feel that the last two episodes felt rushed, and the pacing could have benefited from more episodes. I do enjoy that the ending is neither happy or sad, but it leaves everyone on a journey of healing. Despite this, Solomon's Perjury is a must-watch for anyone interested in a gripping drama with powerful social commentary. This drama really reflects on important issues such as truth, justice, and the consequences of corruption within educational institutions.
