Thing is, you didnt comment with any constructive criticism. All you said was "i dont understand the hype, nothing extraordinary ".
Thats just rude. There are so many people who worked hard to made this show and you dismiss all of their hard work like that. Criticize the acting , the plot or whatever but there's a way to go about without coming across as mean.

Can someone spoil how it ended?

Yeah i just watched it :)

I dont think law school is undergrad program. So most of them got admission here after graduating from other colleges, like seungjae. He came here after med school. Plus universities do tend to people of varying ages since people sometimes take gap years to earn the tuition fee etc

Am i possibly the only one here who is hoping that prof kim is not a surprise villain? I mean her character is so badass, so just, so loyal to her friends and colleagues. She's upright and strong. I really hope the makers dont plan on making a villain out of her. She's my favourite after Yangcrates. I really dont understand why the viewers want her to be a villain. I mean how often do we get a character like her?

Agreed. I hate how people come here in the comment section just to ask "whats so special about this" or even "this is overrated". Tge reason why people are watching it is because they like it. If someone does not think its good, just move on.

Its not mainstream popular like for example doom at your service but its doing well still. Ratings are good

I disagree. She has shown remarkable improvement. She does not have to change herself in order for you to see improvement. I like her the way she is, and she's doing well. Shes asking questions that probably go through the minds of several law students

Prof yang's case is ongoing. He hasn't been proven innocent or guilty. While lee manho is a proven rapist and organ trafficker. She's not a lawyer yet. Obviously She's going to ask these questions at this stage. There were things i didnt understand in medschool regarding ethics but now that im working as a doctor, i get why certain rules exist. Kang sol A also does not come from a background of lawyers and judges. Her decision to become a lawyer was impulsive. I think shes doing pretty well and prof yang sees the potential in her. In fact, as someone mentioned here, kang sol A and prof yang are pretty similar. Its just that prof yang has had years to hone his skill and emotions while sol A is still in the learning process. Not everyone has to fit into a certain mold of main FL where they are logical all the time and excel at everything. The characters in this show are doing a very good job of showing the struggles law students go through especially when they realize that they are going to have to defend scum like lee man ho. I dont agree with you at all that sol A does not deserve to be a lawyer. I think what you consider to be her weakness is actually her strength. She will never be a corrupt person like prosecutor jin and she will never compromise on her morals

For the first time i really dont mind the most obvious character being the bad guy. I just hate the character so much that i was actually hoping it would be them and not someone i liked

Might not be extraordinary to you but to many it is. Does that explain the hype?

Well i mean whether or not history was being distorted is not exactly something we would know. They would know that better. Lets just agree to disagree because i think thr koreans were justified on this

See you miss the entire point. The show is fiction. But the characters being used are not. The makers could have easily changed the names of the characters. No one would have had an issue then. To take an actual person and change them in a drama can offend the people regardless of what the context of the show was. We all have our cultures and historical events that we are proud of. The koreans had a right to protest against something that distorts their history. Especially since now kdramas are being more internationally recognised. People with no idea about their history will think that a character was actually evil even though they weren't.
We really cant say it was an overreaction since it wasnt our history that was being distorted

That's okay. And also since you liked this show, try the train. Its an ocn show and in my opinion ot handled the whole parallel universe concept better. I think you'll like. Im sure the writer the king the eternal monarch had a lot in mind but its just that thr execution wasnt as good. Also (this is my personal opinion) but ive never really liked lee min ho's acting. Im a fan of kim go eun and i was willing to give lee min ho a chance because she was in this show. He's not a terrible actor but he doesnt immerse himself in the role. You can always see the actor lee min ho behind his every role while good actors make you forget the celebrity so that you focus on the character. With him I've never once felt that. He doesnt portray the rawness of the emotions. He's always too poised for that. Again this is only my opinion. I have nothing against this writer since i loved goblin but she did not execute this plot well

I dont think so, i put myself in their shoes and realized that if a show was made about my country's history and distorted it, my country (including me) would have reacted similarly because we are proud of our history. The same goes for them. After all they are the people who study this in schools. There are several figures in their history that are considered important. We shouldn't comment on how they should or shouldnt have reacted. T

Im sad that this was cancelled but i wont start bashing koreans for it because after all its THEIR history. Their culture. If it offended them, then there must have been something wrong with the show.

I dont understand, why hasnt netflix renewed this for a season 3 yet? They renewed it for season 2 pretty quick, what are they waiting for now? If the reason is that they want to air the special episode for first, that makes no sense. They can atleast give the makers a greenlight so that they start working on season 3

I think the assumption that the people who disliked this drama are those who dont have a good brain is rude. This show was not for me. Does that mean i start looking down on those who liked it? No. Everyone has their opinion. I have watched and loved shows like Stranger (both seasons), Liar game, Beyond evil, Signal, Kairos, Train, Bad Guys, The Guest, Chicago Typewriter, Circle, The Uncanny Counter, Nobody Knows, Save me. I am currently watching Law School. In my opinion these shows required more brain power than this. This is my opinion though and other viewers are more than welcome to consider this the best show ever. The point of telling you the names of the shows ive watched is that im not new to shows that have complicated concepts and require, to quote you, a good brain and mind work.

Terrific episode. This drama exceeds my expectations with every episode.

I have another take on this. I think Joonhwi did in fact say Sol B. Because the words exchanged between him and Sol A later seem to imply that he took her name. Now why would he do this? I have two possibilities in my mind. Obviously i can be wrong but here goes
1) Sol B is actually seo byung ju's daughter. This theory has actually been on my mind ever since i noted the similarities between the pair of glasses worn by Sol B and seo byung ju. And its not just that they are similar, its the way the scene was played out that brought my attention to them in the first place. When we are looking at seo byung ju's glasses and suddenly the scene shifts to joon hwi picking up Sol B's glasses. Obviously my theory isnt only based on this. So I'll move on to the main reason why i think sol b is seo byung ju's daughter: sol b's mom specifically chose seo byung ju's paper for her daughter to plagiarise. Why? She could have chosen anyone, why him? Because she must have been absolutely certain that he would never out Sol B. And why would he not? If she is his daughter. Seo byung ju and sol b's mom have a shared past where she was about to marry him but then didn't. But that cant be the only reason for her to choose his paper. Had he be the one to leave her, i would have understood why she chose his paper as form of twisted revenge. But it is heavily implied that SHE left HIM. So what if, just what if she was pregnant with sol B when she married vice dean kang? Sol B's mom probably thinks the paper was sol b's birthright. She's twisted enough to think like that. Now joonhwi is a smart one. He probably found out that sol b is his cousin. This would then tie in with why he said he's looking out for her.
My second theory is much shorter:
2) joonhwi being a smart guy has probably clued in on sol b having a crush on him and is going to use it to get her to fess up on the plagiarism thereby helping prof yang. We have already seen an example of this when joonhwi manipulated lee manho into giving his blood to prof yang.

We obviously know who joonhwi really cares about. Have we seen him cook something for sol b? Walk her home? Stay outside her home all night just to keep an eye on the neighbour? Try to help her in class? Nope. And with Sol A he is impulsive. He is not calculated the way he is with everyone else
