Justice for Minors: When Age Shouldn’t Be an Excuse
Some of the cases in the drama were genuinely infuriating, watching minors commit horrific crimes and then walk free just because they were underage felt incredibly unfair. It’s frustrating to see the justice system prioritize the criminals' future over the victims' suffering.
Judge Shim Eun-seok's stance was one of the best parts of the drama. She didn’t sugarcoat anything or make excuses for these offenders. Her firm belief that punishment is necessary to prevent repeat offenses was refreshing, especially in a system that often seems too forgiving.
That said, while punishment is necessary, I also think the drama does a good job of showing that not every case is black and white. Some kids were victims of their circumstances, while others were just pure evil. But when it comes to severe crimes like murder or assault, I agree, age shouldn’t be an excuse. If they’re old enough to commit such crimes, they’re old enough to face real consequences.
