The search for the real culprit who killed Seo Byung Ju continues in Law School!
We also now have a clear grasp of the series’ interesting episode format. For episodes 5 and 6 of Law School, Professor Yang Jong-hoon (Kim Myung Min) tackled a variable in the current case he faces.
Han Joon-hwi (Kim Bum) also stayed by Kang Sol A (Ryu Hye Young) when her sister Kang Byeol attacked ex-convict Lee Man Ho with a pepper spray.

Law School Episodes 5 & 6 Key Moments
Kang Sol B’s Plagiarism Case
Prior to the murder of Seo Byung-ju, Professor Yang raised an inquiry about Kang Sol B’s paper which the former deduced to have copied Professor Seo’s Harvard paper. Finally retrieving his laptop, he also learned of Professor Kang’s relationship with Kang Sol B.
Professor Kang’s wife who can’t move past her husband’s failure of not becoming a judge in the family argues it was Prosecutor Seo who took her child’s middle school paper. That is to save her status since her paper is one of the reasons why she was accepted into the program. Kang Sol B’s pompous mom also talked to Byung-ju and demanded him to let it slide
Thinking his daughter had involvement in Prosecutor Seo’s death, Professor Kang talked to Professor Yang claiming responsibility for the deed when he did not commit it. While he had a thought of doing it, he changed his mind at the last minute.
Yang Jong Hoon’s First Trial
At the trial, Professor Yang purposedly called Kang Sol B and put her on speakerphone to preempt her father’s sacrificial move. Both acknowledging they did not ask the right question, to begin with, they were not involved in Seo Byung-ju’s death.
His statement thought becomes useless since he initially lied, but the court proceeds to take him as a witness, and whether his words matter will be decided after.
Law School Episodes 5 & 6 Musings
It would have been nice if Law School has a class picture epilogue scene. All the people tagged with involvement in Seo Byung-ju’s death will be marked innocent after each weekly chapter closing.
Kang Sol B learned that Seung-jae (Hyun Woo) had a hand on Professor Yang’s lost laptop. In the next episodes, it will play a crucial note in unearthing the cryptic death of Seo Byung-ju.
This week’s episode also unraveled a new character that would come in between Professor Yang and Kang Sol A’s good relationship. At the end of episode 6, Kang Dan, the woman villain Lee Man Ho also talked about, left a letter discovered by Joon-hwi in the book he bought from Kang Sol A. Just as she was about to confront her professor, she also heard her estranged sister’s voice on a phone call with Professor Yang.
Next on the who-killed-Seo-Byung-ju game appears to tap on Seung-jae and Ji-ho (David Lee) and I really love the clever storytelling of this series. Not only does it unveil the narrative clearly and precisely, but it also gives spotlight to its big cast. Something often overlooked by dramas with a huge cast set to run in the series.
Aside from the focus on Byung-ju’s case, side civil and criminal cases are also presented in the narrative. Those serve as additional knowledge for us viewers about the law since it normally involved societal issues that need a drive for public awareness. Just like an easy overview of plagiarism, copyright issues, and libel. Something normal people can easily commit to intentionally or inadvertently.
What To Expect?
Crossing the mid-point of the series means something climactic is bound to happen in the forthcoming episodes. Still, our questions remain to be the man or men behind Seo Byung-ju’s death.
Law School airs midweek on JTBC and is globally streamed on Netflix.
