Law School Opening Week Recap
Resuming from a mock trial, the law school students of a prestigious university get entangled in a curious death case involving the country’s former Chief Prosecutor who spearheaded the mock trial class. Prosecutor Seo Byung-joo (Ahn Nae Sang) has connections to the professors and it’s not at all sweet. He even made them quit their prosecutor and judicial careers.
However, out of his generous donation to Hanguk University, he gets the opportunity to also settle as an educator at the university’s law school. When he was found dead, the notorious but capable criminal law professor Yang Jong Hoon (Kim Myung Min) was captured by the police after pieces of evidence point to him as the probable culprit.
Pleading the fifth, the police was forced to unearth information out of Jong-hoon’s mobile phone. Thereby leading to a discovery of how Prosecutor Seo has cut a deal with a notorious child offender, Lee Man Ho. The latter witnessed him hitting and running off a victim. It is also the same and sole cold case in Jong-hoon’s career.
Convening to investigate, a crucial piece of evidence was found by Jong-hoon pointing to Han Joon-hwi (Kim Bum) being the possible culprit.

There’s a lot to process in the first episodes of JTBC’s latest legal drama offering. That is expected given its big cast and dialogue-heavy scenes.
Notably, its provocative tone can make non-courtroom-drama fans be interested in finding out the true culprit of its initial case.
As expected of its roster of seasoned actors, their presence and character immersion are convincing. Likewise, the student cast settles to their roles with confidence as well.
Fortunately, the narrative approach also utilized an easy route. Hopefully, it will keep the same mood of easy-to-follow storytelling.
While the sequencing of events is a bit tricky, the series makes up for the presentation of its compelling characters.
Viewers won’t achieve anything yet since the first two episodes ended on a cliffhanger. Despite that, the drama definitely scored a convincing argument on why it is worth following.
Law School airs every Wednesday and Thursday on JTBC. Global fans can watch it on Netflix.
