This drama has been on my list for a while but I put off watching for so long. What a mistake that was. This is really really good. Don’t get me wrong there were some gripes I had with this but the immense thrill made up for those things.
THE STORY - The blending of law into a prestigious school full of privileged kids with clear-cut agendas. As a matter of fact I think the strongest parts of the show were those little probings disguised as lessons between Mr. Temporary and the Verida 4 in the classroom. They were entertaining and we got more of a feel of the main kids and their personalities. Wish I could say the same about the others. I do wish that other students or the student body as a whole got more focus outside the Verida 4.
THE CHARACTERS - LJY as Beom Jin was undoubtedly the standout. What a performance. He looked familiar as I watched but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was an actor. My only complaint with his character is that very abrupt ending. I’m not saying it’s not less of what he deserved but I so badly wanted to see him in handcuffs after being recognized for what he did. His murder felt like a cop-out though you could see it as him getting his commuppance.
Tae Ra’s demise is not what I expected at all but tbh I would’ve liked it better if she and her mother were exposed for fabricating her academic rewards and records. She was just as rotten as the other 3 but the way she went out was…wow.
Kyu Jin really was down bad for Su Ah, to the point where he started making irrational decisions that had him looking crazy. He had the strongest arc out of the bunch and was able to somewhat redeem himself(could’ve done way more) but he got off way too easy for that SA incident and the stalking. I was getting vibes that he was only upset about what happened between Soo Ah and BJ’s dad but he did apologize for the role he played with her so idk. I get that the victim is dead but not even a suspension or getting kicked out of that club? Yeri started with her 3 buddies and ended up alone which is rather fitting for her character. She also got exposed for her online crimes and lost out on debuting so she got her payback. I did think it was weird that she didn’t appear to be that sad when her supposed best friend Tae Ra died so suddenly but perhaps she was so caught up in her own ambitions it didn’t hit her until long after the fact.
Now unto the adult mains: Temporary was such a fun character. I enjoyed his screentime so much and relished in his ability to take whatever the kids threw at him. He was no fool and he didn’t underestimate them for one second. I think he realized the first day of his job that he would have to get into a basket of vipers to get to the truth. Ngl I was kinda scared for him cause man was being way to bold dancing around these powerful people. However he proved multiple times he could hold his own and that nothing was going to stand in the way of his goal. The teacher lady was so annoying and didn’t think before she did things which was super frustrating. I get her being mad about Moo Hyuk lying about his identity but she didn’t even really try to get to the bottom of it and find out why. I couldn’t wait or them to just join forces and move on with the story cause the constant misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions was starting to piss me off.
P.S The guy who played Lee Tae Seok did the part way too well. He has that…face lol.
Overall this was a really great show. I do think there should’ve been one more episode to even things out and get a follow up with the characters but the last scenes were satisfactory enough for me to be content with. The ending was incredibly satisfying and I will def watch this again just for the thrill of it all. I think the overall theme was just as Gi Gang Jae said: Finding out the truth is more important than winning the case. Of course irl things aren’t that straightforward, as corruption eventually seeps into those places where justice is supposed to prevail. I may not become a lawyer but that saying however did give me a new perspective for when I view cases as an outsider, low profile or high profile
