Law School

I finally got to see a program where I couldn't miss a scene or fast forward as I usually do. No incessant chatter, no female lead that acts immature, dumb or irritating and 2 male leads that were a pleasure to watch.

It was cinematic in places, with plenty of legal terms . But the taut direction meant the loopholes in the law, the power of interpretation and the battle between truth and justice beautifully captured.

I also think the casting was fabulous. I loved the young ones and the Professor.

To start with the less than ideal bits, there are moments in the show when the plot feels farfetched and a bit too convenient, and it certainly has its fair share of cliches. But towards the end, I found myself empathetic for the characters and was happy to see their lives turned out well. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I rarely get this invested in characters in a "warm" show like this.

This brings me to the next point. There are great show/movies these days with deep/intriguing plots that make you invested, and shows/movies that are warm and just give you a good time. But these two categories are too often mutually exclusive of each other. In my opinion this show is a healthy blend of the two.

Overall I'd recommend it if you enjoy good acting and entertaining plot and are okay with the few shortcomings I've mentioned above.

I was beginning to lose interest in this nearly halfway through ep4, because - thanks to the absolute brilliant editing - it was starting to feel too obvious, the 'whodunnit', for what is supposed to be a 16-episode law-school-based mystery. But that sucker punch of a twist that is -(again, brilliant editing)- juxtaposed with certain reasoning exposition, JUST WOW.

Will I revisit this review when I'm done with this series to rewrite it into a complete comprehensive one to the best of my ability? Dunno. Maybe. We'll see. 😁

Honestly, this is the best among all similar genre I've watched before ! Many said it has the How To Get Away With Murder vibes but for me, this one is more light and less complicated. I love the feeling of fully anticipating for the next episode to come as it leaves us with more questions, rather than being confused. The OSTs and background music are no joke too. However, Law School is really underrated maybe because some thinks that it would be complicated as hell - which is actually not. Try watching until the 2nd episode and you will not get enough of this drama as it makes the 1st episode finally realistic. Trust me, I've watched until 9 and here I am craving for more 🙃

This drama gradually builds up excitement in every episode as it progresses. The ost of this drama adds even more excitement and meaning to the drama. Unlike other typical law dramas, Law School is unique. The drama represents real cases that actually happens in people's lives. There is a lot to learn from this drama.
