This is a sub-label that must appear at the beginning of each episode of the Korean drama "Law School" (also translated: Law School / Supreme Law). Just like the narration of Professor Yang Jong-suk played by Kim Myung-min in the first episode, which is so calm and almost inanimate, the jigsaw puzzle picture presents an elephant. The pursuit of truth and justice in court is as long as the completion of a giant jigsaw puzzle. It is as hard as a blind man touching an elephant.
appeared after the scolding "The Myth of Xerxephus", "Law School" started off a bit unfavorably, but the ratings were not bad. Compared with the segment, although it is slightly lower than the "Daifa Real Estate" that was broadcast at the same time, it is higher than "Mouse", which has a weak plot and topic, and it is also about one percentage point higher than the ending of "The Myth of Xerxephus".
In terms of plot intensity and filming quality, "Law School" is actually worthy of the title of "JTBC 10th Anniversary Commemorative Work". Although it also borrowed the controversy of "Zhao Douchun's Child Abuse Incident", it did not use the lynching justice model to relieve the audience's grievances like the two dramas "Model Taxi" and "Mouse". , for example: Are the legal provisions not sufficient? Can the evidence of free mind surpass the existing evidence? Whether the disciplinary sentence really has the function of education... and so on.
The main line of the plot actually revolves around two old cases. In addition to the above-mentioned child abuse case, another case about the former prosecutor's suspected bribery case also has implications. The former chief prosecutor Xu Bingzhou, played by An Neixiang, died mysteriously in the opening scene, only involving several teachers and students in the department that may be involved in the case.The rhythm of the first episode is super fast, with a large number of characters and a huge amount of information about the lines. In addition, the staggered editing of scenes with different timings makes it impossible to keep up with the plot in a flash. However, after entering the second episode, the round-trip of the timeline is much clearer, and the relationship between the characters is gradually becoming clearer.
Judging from the rhythm and story structure of the first two episodes, this drama is quite imitating the American drama "How to Get Away with Murder". On the one hand, they are also complaining about the rigidity and corruption of the judicial system. In addition to Kim Myung-min who plays the teacher, Prime Minister Ahn Nee and Lee Hyun-eun are some of the Mesozoic powerhouses, as well as younger generations such as Kim Bum, Yoo Hye-young, Lee Soo-kyung, Lee David, Ko Yun-jung, and Hsien-woo. It's very enjoyable just to watch these actors battle their acting skills through dialogue and emotion.
British thinker Francis Bacon (Francis Bacon) said in "Judicial Treatise":
An unfair judicial decision is more calamitous than repeated illegal acts. Wrongdoing contaminates the waters, and unfair judgments pollute the waters.
The reason that Justitia/Lady Justice, the goddess of justice that appears repeatedly in the play, is blindfolded while holding up the scale that symbolizes fairness and the sword that represents justice, is that everyone is equal before the justice , the trial is equal, objective, non-selfish, and non-discriminatory. But this is an ideal after all, how to make up the difference between it and reality? Through the progress of the follow-up plot, it may be possible to get a glimpse.
