Yesterday was the finale of the legal drama Law School. the tensions of the students that explore the flaws of Korea's legal system. Although I'm not a law student -I still feel the tension in this drama since it's a legal drama. The love story x legal drama of Pride and Prejudice did have its mix of comedy and suspense. this one is suspense as law students start to dare challenge the flaws of the Korean legal system. There are mock trials and an actual murder, an innocent man framed, and I felt it really probably needed a little more episodes as people try to figure out a series of cases.
The main character Professor Yang Jong Hoon (Kim Hyung Min) is accused of a murder he didn't commit. The other characters involved with Professor Yang are Hwan Joon Hwi (Kim Bum) a top law student and Kang Sol A (Ryu Hye Hyeong) who are well spoilers, not really a tandem. Kim Eun Sook (Lee Jung-Eun) is a former judge turned professor. these guys start to face a lot of charges especially when a corrupt Assemblyman named Edcel Lagman Ko Hyeong Su (Jung Won-Joong) is covering up his son Young Chang's (Lee Hwi Jong) criminal charges. It's really something when you've got a powerful man in power, right?
I really find this nearly as interesting as Innocent Defendant when a man gets framed up and arrested for the supposed murder of his own family. In this case, Professor Yang really must try to prove his innocence in the midst of a powerful man's influence. The students who are still struggling trying to find evidence to protect Professor Yang from the frame-up. It does get rushed in between (I think four more episodes could've helped). It does get somewhat convoluted, a sprawling but ambitious tapestry, yet it's also worth a watch to those who want to "experience" the struggle of law school.
