Un drama qui mérite d'être plus connu !
J'ai adoré ce drama où le suspens m'a fait appuyé plusieurs fois sur le bouton "suivant", me laissant bouche bée devant mon écran. D'ordinaire, je ne suis pas emballée par les dramas se passant dans un lycée. Mais là, on m'avait vendu un Yoon Gyun Sang très en forme et surtout une intrigue super. Et je n'ai pas été déçue du tout !J'ai adoré me plonger un peu plus dans les histoires peu nettes de ces adolescents et de leurs familles tout aussi dérangées. On retrouve un beau panel d'acteurs pour les personnages adultes et les jeunes acteurs sont tous aussi talentueux les uns que les autres. Bien entendu certains personnages se sont démarqués des autres mais dans l'ensemble on retrouve des jeunes acteurs particulièrement talentueux.
Le tout se passant dans un contexte où l'on parle beaucoup de droit, de la loi, puisque notre personnage principal Gi Mu Hyeok est un avocat très compétent bien qu'il n'utilise pas toujours des méthodes très éthiques. Et vous aurez du comprendre que les dramas où il y a du judiciaire, ça me parle tout de suite.
Si l'on rajoute à cela une ambiance musicale absolument incroyable, ça met la cerise sur le gâteau pour moi et conclu ce quasi coup de coeur. De la musique avec beaucoup d'instruments à corde au programme pour ajouter un aspect encore plus prenant à ces épisodes où le suspens est maître et fait battre notre coeur bien trop rapidement, le drama nous offre tout un OST que j'ai déjà ré-écouté à de nombreuses reprises. Sincère coup de coeur pour les musiques I'm Alive de Taylor et Main Title de Baek Eunwoo. Sincèrement, allez les écouter !

The tense, the murder case, the characters, specially students in the school – were interesting and captivating. But solving the case, the detective work, the prosecutor work - were weak. The teachers keep finding clues by chance, without meticulous investigation, and there is no a strong turning point in the story or the moment of suspense. The pace is slow, I mean, the pace of investigation. Surprisingly the most coherent and fine parts of drama were school scenes with young actors.
The motive of temporary teacher (played by Yoon Gyun Sang) was important in the beginning, but later the writer didn’t have the concept of this any more. Unfortunately some of great and interesting characters in the drama were dead (I hope it isn’t a spoiler:) and protagonists who were alive – they were somehow flat. And I'm even not going to mention about the ending...
And my biggest problem with this crime drama: I feel the characters are created in a wrong way. Their actions don’t seem real. The psychology of characters is simple and unconvincing. And the actors acting is proportional to the script: average, average, average.
But the music was good.
So, there are some great scenes, with genius directing and filming (if you have seen the scene in the high-rise building, you know what I'm talking about), but it is not enough to enjoy this crime drama.

8.6? 8.9?
the story was great but there was something missing.. the process was really lacking, it didn't need 16 eps.. like the overall main mystery happens in the first 2 eps and is resolved in the last 2.5 eps.. though the side plots were not bad, I enjoyed a few and they made the younger side characters shine...but tbh I wasn't focusing most of the time, and some things went by without even leaving an impression on me. like I didn't focus on the older cast, specifically the parents and that prosecutor who was so cold she was emotionless..
also, I felt like they over complicated things, like they didn't really have a "is he the killer or is she the killer" moments -they didn't have too many (or any) solid suspects- but then again, how did it take them so long to think "aha, this might be the killer"...
and those 3 always had their brain storming sessions, but like the mystery wasn't that complicated, I honestly don't know what they wasted their time on...
I don't know, I've been in a crime/thriller slump lately. all writers think they are too smart, and some make me believe it for a while, but then I'm not fully engaged with the story.. though I really enjoyed the ending, it had a balance between open ending and conclusion..
overall I liked the "main" actors, I'll keep my eye on them.. also the ost was nice...
my rewatch values are either a 1 or a 10 so ;)

however around the late half the writer get lost and change all what he build and give us a lot of the adult unnecessary scenes and not to talk about the annoying female teacher her character was just pain and stupid from the start to the end. if they cut her down the drama would be better.
i loved the male character but the sudden move from going with facts to take the lead guesses as evidence what kill the drama. like how he suddenly focus that xx is the killer and start to make image to it and it fit well!! and yes that's it. like what?!!! just because his character fit well nothing more that strong.
and what with the ending!! are this really ending ?? i don't know what the point of that.
what make me give it high rate like what i said before the start, the 4 evil kids and Yoon Gyun Sang. it wasn't boring and it drag me to the end even though they end it poorly.

class of lies was lit
Honestly, this entire drama felt like a good fever dream. That probably doesn't make any sense, but it was complete and it was interesting the whole way through. I have to applaud Yoo Beom Jin's actor because his acting was so amazing. In general, the crime aspect was well done and the watchers are able to guess along with the characters. There are a lot of details and the direction of the drama is unpredictable. This made it exciting, but you have to pay attention or you might miss something. This problem could only be for me, but the subtitles in this drama were so bad. I watched this on Dramacool, so it might be different for you. The subtitles were inconsistent and even some of the nicknames the characters were given changes between episodes which gets confusing. Another thing is that the episode lapping is quite large (the end of the previous episode as the beginning of the new episode). I would say almost 5 minutes is lapped. Sure, you could skip it, but in some cases, new details and clues are brought up. This was a small issue though, and it's useful if you space out your episodes (I binged, so it got a little annoying).I will say it's hard for the characters to grow on you or to develop a favourite character. This factor is important for me when watching a drama, so that's one of the reasons why I only gave it an 8.5. The only character that grew on me was Lee Gi Hoon and he didn't have many scenes....
This drama's music will always be superior. A lot of the music they used was rap. I thought that this was fun since normally the OSTs would be soft singing or something along those lines. Plus, the BGM they used when the attorneys and rich people were talking made it feel like they were gonna square up.
add Class of Lies to your watchlist right now!

Overall, it's a solid story - but the ending was way too rushed. The last 30 minutes was just...boring??The cast itself is fantastic though, Jun did amazingly with his acting and the fact that hes an idol actor yet did this well astounds me.
I'd say the first 10 episodes were fantastic, but the last couple of episodes were way too slow in terms of development - and the ending shouldn't have been YBJ getting killed...bit rushed??
The OST is great, the plot overall is okay - despite there being a few slow parts & the acting team were ace.
I recommend you watch it, but be prepared for an underwhelming ending.

worth watching
the storyline was interesting especially in the beginning where keeps me going and curious what actually happen. I was also shooketh over the problematic students like daaaamn, its horrible. The acting was quite good, every cast suits the the characters. However, it was a little bit draggy in the middle making it a little bit boring. And the solving the case part was somewhat missing, most of the things are just not enough. I wish they could give more tense and thrill instead with more twists too. The ending was okay. All in all, I like it and I think it's worth watching.Cet avis était-il utile?
Great ending, would reccomend!
Personally, when I read reviews, I want to know if the show had a good ending or not. I have had too many shows that were good throughout but had a bad/unsatisfactory ending.This show had a very satisfying ending. I haven't had such a good ending in a while. Obviously, I would want more episodes, but with the ending, it doesn't matter as much.
Some great OSTs, They did a good job with Rap OST, as a lot of dramas can't pull that off well.
If you come into this drama, thinking it would be like one of the School 20s, you won't find what you would expect. Nonetheless, this show will pull you in.
Overall, Great show, probably in my top 5
If had to recommend shows like this, Solomon's Perjury sounds like it has nearly the same the synopsis, except no attorney is in the show.

acting is great for some actors like yoo beom jin but the actor of kim han soo makes me cringe. and his role makes stupid decision all the time.
music is really great makes every moment intense and sending a message "this one has a serious battle of wits"
rewatch value: if you miss something or dont have any drama on your watchlist.

In general, this drama was pretty solid. The acting was relatively good and there was a good character development throughout the drama. I really enjoyed the unravelling of the secrets of each of the characters and the dark side of the seemingly perfect Yoo Beom Jin. The drama is quite slow paced and I personally don't mind that HOWEVER the ending I found extremely confusing and lacking. There is no explanation in regards to Yoo Beom Jin's death(?) and the explanation for the actual crime considering it was so complicated was just not enough.
The court scenes also seemed a bit strange to me and obviously I don't know how the justice system works in Korea but I was surprised when Yoo Beom Jin started yelling and ranting when he was on the witness stand (I thought they are only required to speak if they are asked a question).
I wouldn't recommend this drama for people who really value the endings because the last episode of this drama was quite inadequate in my opinion. However, saying that it was a pretty enjoyable drama overall with an interesting storyline.

WATCH IF YOU LIKE THRILLER/CRIME/MYSTERY DRAMAS!
This was one of my first kdramas and I loved it! Many of the characters made me mad, but that's good acting I guess :D It is pretty mysterious and I had fun trying to figure out who the killer was. If you liked this drama I recommend for you to watch 365 Repeat the Year, Extracurricular, and Solomon's Perjury (those kdramas have a similar concept). Anyways, go watch it if you're contemplating about it!I need 500 characters so: watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama. watch this drama.
