Very law heavy, but story and characters made it memorable

This series portrayed how law can be used to serve justice and at the same time, be abused. It portrayed struggles of being a student well enough that I could relate even though I did not study law. I enjoyed the theme of dating violence being explored in the drama, as I think it was executed really deftly. I also liked how the characters had underlying issues that would be uncovered later in the series, although some characters not as well executed as others. (*release season 2 to develop those stories better thanks*) The downside of this drama is definitely the breadth of law stuff being thrown in the script, such that one might think it is boring. (*don't watch this if you are entering into a food coma, or sleepyland*) Also, I think the ending was definitely rushed, hence I felt some characters' stories did not end as well as I would like, and the main plotline of the murder was wrapped up too conveniently/neatly. (*or maybe I am just dumb and confused*) Also, despite it not being a romance drama of any sort, I do enjoy the chemistry of the main leads such that I am deluding myself into shipping them as a couple, as their scenes were really cute. (*there is a plethora of fan-made edited vids of these 2 characters being shipped as a romantic pair, I kid u not*) Besides the main 'couple', I thoroughly enjoyed the comradery/rapport among the students and the teachers/professors, such that I would not mind another season and cannot bear to part from these characters. (*they tried to give a happy ending for the main 'couple', BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SATISFY ME, im sorry*)
The rapport was portrayed well partly because the actors/actresses were well-casted/acted really well. Even the villains were pretty darn easy to hate, primarily because of the fantastic acting.
Another downside to this drama is probably the repetition of one line of one song in nearly every single episode that I cringe at times when it is played. Thankfully, in later episodes, they change up playing a different section of the song, but it is boderline annoying. I do think the style of music is reminiscent of sky castle. There is 1 or 2 instrumentals that is opera/classical-ish that I like as it fits the prestige theme of being the top law school in korea. (*pretends to be a snob, pretend to know what classical music sounds like*)
I will rewatch fan-made vids of the characters, particularly the main *couple*.
Conclusion/TLDR: Law School is intense and thrilling drama that shows how law can serve justice or how law can be used for the wrong reasons. It also shows conflicts beyond the legal court, more than what meets the eye.
Sidenote: I watched this series alongside Vincenzo, and cannot help notice its similarities. If you are looking for an adjacent to Vincenzo (about serving justice and corrupt politicans/committing atrocities), this is definitely a drama to watch and preferably binge.
