Don’t let the new series “Law School” fly under your radar. From talented actors to a unique premise and much mystery, “Law School” is an entertaining and intriguing series. A grim incident occurs at a prestigious university and shocks everyone. A tough law professor and his students learn about true justice and law as they seek the truth behind what happened. Here are reasons the series is sure to meet your expectations.
Rising stars
Law schools are full of intelligent and gifted students and the cast of “Law School” is no exception. You’ve seen these talented and promising actors before.
Kim Beom recently impressed with his portrayal of mischievous Lee Rang in “Tale of the Nine Tailed.” Ryu Hyeyoung received much love for her stoic but warm character in “Reply 1988.”
We’ll get to see a different side of Lee Su-kyoung from her security team member character in “Where Stars Land.” Lee David will give off a completely different aura from his bullied character in “Itaewon Class.”
Finally, we’ll get to see more of “Sweet Home” actress Go Youn-jung.
Solid veterans
There are just as many respected veteran actors to look forward to.
Kim Myung-min is known for his gravitas and moving portrayals. “Parasite” actress Lee Jung-eun can pull off diverse characters and her “Law School” character will be distinctly different.
Park Hyuk-kwon’s and An Nae-sang’s characters will leave you with a lasting impression. Chung Won-joong, Kil Hae-yeon, Woo Hyun and Oh Man-seok round out the solid veteran cast.
Law is not a genre new to
K-dramas. Anyone else loving “Vincenzo?”
But law school specifically has not been tackled in K-drama land.
Through the series, we can get a glimpse of what law schools might look like in Korea. It’s the perfect setting where we see young minds and professors tackle justice, law and real crimes.
Murder mystery
While law school is in session, an unexpected murder takes place at the university. The victim is professor Seo Byung-ju (An Nae-sang) and everyone becomes a suspect.
As the investigation ensues, motives come to light. The students begin to delve into the case while studying. Will they be able to uncover the murderer? Is the culprit among them?
There’s more to each character than meets the eye. Dynamics change as Yang Jong-hoon loses his revered professor status when he becomes a prime suspect.
Han Joon-hwi (Kim Beom) enters school with top grades and appears to be perfect in every regard, but he has a hidden agenda.
Similarly, Jeon Ye-seul (Go Youn-jung) seems to have it all and only applied to law school in order to spend more time with her boyfriend, but circumstances change drastically when she makes it and he doesn’t.
There’s also Yu Seung-jae (Hyun Woo) who makes the unusual decision to enter law school despite being a successful doctor. So many curious characters, but we’ll find out more as the drama unfolds.
