"It's Driving Me Crazy"

[T-xoo · 9/10 · 6 May 2021]

At first, i thought that this would just be like any other thriller drama where the first episode presents the characters and what this series is about. And finally, episode 2&3 will show a major secret villain. But nope, it got me wrong. Each episode will just make the viewer feeling gawk even more. And then when the OST "it's driving me crazy" hits you'll just go along because that is what this drama is.

Only a small minus, the characters speak and subtitles, sometimes, are too fast. Great series overall.

Exciting Drama

[maryrhym · 9/10 · 16 May 2021]

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.

No sustained objections. The Preponderance🏛Of The Evidence Supports an "A" °Excellent°

[50fiftillidideeBrain · 8/10 · 30 June 2021]

The following is my brief with respect to this series. LS is, beyond a reasonable doubt, guilty of being a supreme legal drama.

This could almost be labeled a law school "fantasy" series, as unviable as that sounds. Fantasy shows don't appeal to everybody; some prefer realistic dramas. There are many more that hate procedure, or predictability: They want to be surprised by a last-minute reluctant witness. This show should satisfy most people, including most everyone in these groups, but the web of lives, the condensed degrees of separation, and the tangle of grudges and motivations wouldn't be admissible in a true-to-life drama. It is a strain to think of professors at an ivy league level school being as caring as the profs in this drama are. Identifying the right suspect is not as predictable as it is slightly erroneous. Astute viewers may still be able to pinpoint the killer with ease and declare it too predictable... To which I say: "Quash all of that. Who cares?" LS is not guilty of contempt. They've put together a winning case.

⚖Suspend your skepticism and examine all the evidence yourself. The jury must watch the whole show prior to deliberations, so we are remanded to get on the 🎢 and enjoy LS. This show is written, directed, and edited with a habile hand (I just looked "habile" up and decided to use it... pretty cool word, right? I hope it impresses the judge and jury👍🏼).

LS follows the lives of law students along with some of the professors - their struggles and triumphs, families, friends and foes, along with their growth as they navigate through the fraught chambers of their lauded institution. Prof Yang and Kang Sol A are fabulous characters. I could listen to Kim Myung-Min (Prof Yang) talk all day. His voice is divinely masculine and deep. It would have been tossed out if he couldn't act or take command of the courtroom, but he can, and very well at that. The director sustains the tension😯 throughout the series. It's high mystery in classic whodunit form. The taut editing and soundtrack sequester the audience in a state of suspense. If you reason that you know who the culprit is in ep3, you might waiver by ep8. The evidence keeps our minds in motion, turning like a bottle being spun on a table.

We should overrule some of their arguments, though. There are things that seem judiciously obvious to the court at large that elude their brilliant minds. That always weighs a case down. I strongly object to the last moments of the show which are remitted as way too brief. We get very little discovery pertaining to what the characters went on to do or what the relationship is of the three that are walking together at the end. It resounded like a cracked gavel. That may be hearsay, however, the prosecution argues that it's pure negligence to wrap up a 16+ hour series with a 10 second consultation. Would that we could depose the director about that decision. In the balance, we can easily dismiss any such torts committed by the director. Indubitably, the director's curriculum vitae (resume) shows he's had a solid run, and has a high likeability factor. The overall quality of the piece is a mitigating factor taken into account in the sentencing phase: LS gets all the credit for time served, and remains released for all of us to enjoy.

I originally postponed the hearing on LS as I wasn't convinced that it would sway me. The worth of its collateral was evident once its docket came up on the calendar (my Netflix queue), and I sat in judgment. While I wasn't confident of its appeal, now that all the exhibits have been examined, Res Ipsa Loquitor: The thing speaks for itself.

In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this drama has acquitted itself laudably. The ratings prove what broad appeal it has. The preponderance of the evidence is that this show has prevailed in its effort to convince us of its credibility. So don't waiver: Watch as an interested party. I'm sure you will agree to stipulate the worthiness of the production.

IMHO... 🎬8 🤔8 🎭8.

TOP TIER LAW BASED DRAMA

[jinseyeon-44756 · 10/10 · 13 May 2021]

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 is too good!!

[aarjuprivate · 10/10 · 30 May 2021]

I also had similar this feels like how to get away with murder vibes and was already starting to get a headache if it did turn out that way. But the way they turned one crime and went to intricaies of it and all it's connection had me blown away. Some episodes got me all whoaaaa what!! All the suspicion and the way the story has been delivered has expanded my very own imagination.

I know the first episode was not delivered that well but beyond that has been a quite a enjoyable ride. And it is not as slow as it seems, your mind will be constantly engaged . And if you would be willing to cross the barrier of subtitles and biases against korean production then it will be a gem that you will find. I'm currently on the 13th episode and impatiently waiting for more.

Good

[Sharknun1 · 8/10 · 22 April 2021]

For now it is very good I hope all episodes are good as first 3, music in this is also amazing.

Finally ..no fast forwards

[ushagowri-60736 · 8/10 · 28 May 2022]

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.

Layers that need unpeeling

[Jodie_ds · 8/10 · 17 June 2021]

I would've loved to have been locked in with the storyliners when they decided how they were going to take the plot lines and weave them all together. Each of the characters' stories are relatively linear individually, but they are told in an interwoven and complex way due to people's lies and the hiding of truth.

The viewer is asked consider their own perspective on things like copying other people's intellectual property, permissions granted or taken, the simple rules we break and the possible consequences of those, and whether or not we can ever truly know the world that generations outside of our own, live in. A number of the subplots ask you to consider the very human cost of judicial papertrails and decisions.

The parallel premise of the teaching of what law means and how it ought to be used, and the way it actually exists in the real world, is masterfully presented by the lead actors. I recommend you watch the first two episodes together before you decide whether or not you're going to continue. I quite often waited until there were three episodes in a row available before I watched, as it was just too frustrating to have to wait for the next one!

AMAZING DRAMA GO WATCH IT NOW

[gamerhv · 10/10 · 26 May 2021]

LAW SCHOOL is now become my favorite kdrama of all time. Omg this story is so interesting. Like everyone has a secret and I like how every episode ends with a cliffhanger. So basically this drama is about a murder of a person which takes place at a law school. Like everyone is a suspect the main point of the story is finding out who is the murder. I like every single character here prof yang junghoon gotta to be my fav character at first I had mixed feelings about him but as the episodes went on I started loving him more and more he is such a great character. I am telling u will enjoy it. Its still airing as of now I can't wait for the next few episodes to come out I am still in ep 8 but still so far I absolutely love it. Its my summer vacation as of now and this drama just made my vacation better. I will give u my review after I finished watching it fully.

Now like what are u waiting for go watch it.

A good series to pass your time.

[deep1307 · 7/10 · 11 May 2021]

Firstly i would like to state that this series is not a masterpiece in anyway however, it still keeps you hooked to it. After watching the first few episodes it gave me the vibe of the "How to Get Away with Murder" series which it heavily inspires from (this statement in no way claims that the series is a rip-off).

The twist and turns in the episodes may sometime make u scratch your head as in "what the hell is going on" but trust me it is still watchable.

WHERE IS THE CONFESSION :(

[sydfxy · 9/10 · 9 June 2021]

• 1 star because han joon hwi did not confess to kang sol A :( I was expecting something between them.

The law is not just

[alaningle7 · 7/10 · 10 July 2021]

A group of students at a law school excel in learning the law and performing mock trials. All the students have issues which come to light and they become involved in cases of corruption and murder. The series is well acted and in parts absorbing and interesting but it does seem disjointed. There are parts of the story which just come to an abrupt end and there are too many subplots which have no real development and with less going on and more focus this series would have been better.

Too many timeline flipping for me

[dumsumdumfai · 4/10 · 18 May 2021]

Only was able to watch 3 episodes. And had to give up. Since I needed subtitles, the back and forth time lines(more than 2) is making me dizzy. This and the complexity of the law arguments that is needed to show off the students and their personalities, and the murky relationship setups.

Now my mind is almost out of it. Not to mentioned the school politics. I get it, it's homage to Rashomon. But execution is a bit clunky, not focused. Complexity is not always about the number of items, can be about depth of a few.

Or maybe is the styling of the show that's just not up my alley. Lighting is too bright, too even, camera works sometimes too tricky. Any everyone delivering their lines at the same pace.

I don't doubt that this is a good series but better luck next time.

Very interesting

[shimnazark · 10/10 · 12 May 2021]

Every episodes tend to bring new stories and backstories of characters. Every characters are unique. Each episodes ends with a twist.

What in the-?!

[devanshdesai · 9/10 · 19 May 2021]

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. 😁

Addicted

[nikkilyn-50148 · 10/10 · 2 June 2021]

Love this show! Keeps you on your toes in suspense on what's going to happen next.

Marvelous

[samridhisingh-58811 · 10/10 · 13 May 2021]

If you are interested in law the this drama is an ace.

Gripping legal drama

[asnath-17862 · 10/10 · 27 May 2021]

Fast paced with interesting characters. Kept me watching, guessing and wanting more.

Law school is like a refreshing new face among many existing beauties! 😍

[tungpakhi · 10/10 · 9 June 2021]

Well, I watched many kinds of dramas of different genre. Many hyped dramas didn't reach my expectation. But surprisingly though this drama wasn't very much hyped but I truly enjoyed while watching. The acting was okay and also liked the twist in every episode of this drama. After watching each episode I was eagerly waiting for the next episode to see what actually happened or what the plot of the next episode holding. But what I loved the most is the message that was given to the audience! Yeah, "Law shouldn't be unjust" and "One shouldn't use the law for his/her selfish motives and obviously we shouldn't allow to use law for self gain" 👏👍

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 20 June 2023]

Korean Drama " Law School " is a court drama full of twists and turns.

With a dark academia feel to it, the story follows a group of law students as they are shocked to discover that their beloved teacher is accused of a crime. That triggers a series of revelations about the students and the whole school system.

The drama has a unique way of presenting things, often blending the current events with the timeline of the past, which got confusing more often than not.

It also got a bit stuffy towards the middle, and the first few episodes were not as intriguing, but the ones that followed the main characters as they revealed their true colours were quite enjoyable.

The performances, in addition, were pretty great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Great show

[judibcats · 10/10 · 10 June 2021]

One of the best shows yet. Please have another season.

I dropped this title after watching only half of the first ep

[ruslimceline · 2/10 · 11 May 2021]

The timeline is really complicated. I also didn't really like Kang sol A's character. Because i don't understand the plot, i feel bored and then i stopped watching this.

Brilliant!

[mcdflint · 10/10 · 1 August 2021]

An incredible series: 16 hours long that just flew by in a whirl of brilliant acting and direction. There are times when you laugh out loud and times when you cry. I just hope they think of doing a second series.........please?!

I liked the characters and the "warm" aspect of the show

[shengjiex · 8/10 · 17 January 2022]

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.

"Law School make my jaw drop every single episode"

[miraclewatcherr · 10/10 · 30 August 2022]

The first episode hooks my eyes and ears right away. The opening ost "It's driving me crazy" always conditions my emotions to thrilled one. I love how plot twists and events happen every single chapter making viewers really look forward to what's going to happen next. The law school itself is good, it really show's how law students suffer just to have good grades. It's not a romance drama but the chemistry between Kim Bum (Joon Hwi) and Hye Young (Kang Sol A) is just overflowing. The acting in this drama is so good, to the point that it will make you feel so attached to them.

The drama is so cool and amazing. I really recommend everyone to watch law school from; ost, casting, script, chemistry, and plot twist, just amazing! Worth watching!
