This 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 but the immense thrill made up for all the shortcomings.

THE STORY - The blending of law into a prestigious school full of privileged kids with clear-cut agendas was well done. The strongest parts of the show were those little probings disguised as lessons between Mr. Temporary and the Verida 4 during class. 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 main ones.

THE CHARACTERS - LJY as Beom Jin was undoubtedly the standout. What a performance. My only complaint with his character is that very abrupt ending. I so badly wanted to see him in handcuffs after being recognized for his crimes. 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. I would’ve preffered 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 crazy.

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 the evil bunch and was able to somewhat redeem himself(could’ve done way more) but its very odd he wasn't reprimanded by the school for the SA incident or the stalking. I felt he was only upset about what happened between Soo Ah and BJ’s dad because he wanted her to himself. He did apologize for the role he played with her so ig the viewer can judge whether or not he's worthy of redemption. Yeri started with her 3 buddies and ended up alone which is rather fitting for her character. She was also exposed for her online crimes and lost out on debuting so she got her payback. Tho I did think it was weird when she didn’t appear that sad after her supposed best friend died so suddenly. Ig 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 school threw at him. He was no fool and never underestimated anything for one second. It was obvious he'd have to get into a basket of vipers to expose 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 made decisions. 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. The guy who played Lee Tae Seok played the part way too well. He has that kind of 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. The ending was incredibly satisfying and I will def watch this again just for the thrill of it all. The overall theme was just as Gi Gang Jae said: Finding out the truth is more important than winning the case. That gave me a new perspective for when examining cases as an outsider, low profile or high profile.
