Sol A : Dumb?

Ye Beom : Disliked?

I wish my heart didn’t feel everything so deeply

i feel like this episode really drove home just how alone young gojo and geto were. it's been a running theme in the series for a while that sorcerers are often left to fend for themselves from pretty early on in their careers, and miwa even mentions at one point that people tend to keep others at a distance just because of how dangerous their work is and it's not worth grieving someone every other day. but even in a school setting, it's so obvious that the teachers and other adults solely exist to deliver instruction and delegate missions - no advice, no emotional support, no real guidance despite how draining their lifestyle can be and how young the students are. gojo, geto, riko, and kuroi show up at jujutsu high after 3 days of constantly being on guard and no one is waiting for them. during the mission there was no sign of yaga or anyone else checking in on how they were doing or if they needed any extra support (sending 2 of their underclassmen does not count). and i know to a certain extent the hands off approach is because they trust in gojo and geto's abilities but the amount of responsibility they were burdening literal children with is kind of insane. minor spoilers but geto's character development from here on out should not come as a surprise to anyone. especially with future scenes that we will be seeing animated (such as a certain one in the morgue), i hope this season will make it clear that adult gojo being protective of his students and willing to defy the higher ups is more than him just being cocky and "the strongest." jujutsu society and the system as a whole consistently failed him and his friends. he became the strongest because he had to be.

Law School is how you do women empowerment.

K-drama writers take notes.

(Spoilers Below)

First of all, we have women in all the important posts. Whether it’s the position of a Dean, Professor, Judge or Prosecutor, we always saw women not just working, but kicking ass.

All the women were allowed to be emotional and rational at the same time. In fact, being driven emotionally was encouraged, because you can truly establish justice only when you empathize with and understand the victims.

Women supporting women. They could’ve easily shown Sol A and B having a cold war over Han Joon-Hwi for some extra ‘spice’ (like most show writers always do), instead we got both girlies protecting each other when the situation called for it. Also let’s never forget Sol A and Yeseul’s relationship, it was super wholesome and iconic.

Men understanding the concept of boundaries. Joon Hwi never once pushed his feelings on Sol A, he was just there supporting her while she did her own thing. Similarly, Min Bok-gi kept a respectable distance from Yeseul, regardless of whether she had a boyfriend or not, despite liking her so much. Even when Yebum teases him and says that he should have ‘snatched’ her away, he shuts him up, visibly offended. (This might make it seem like the bar is super low, but its nice to see stuff like this on screen)

Yeseul’s character was one of the best writings on the show. Beautiful and smart, always took care of others, she was kind and understanding to everyone and remained to be so after her “incident”, in fact, she made her kindness and warmth a weapon to help other women who had undergone the same thing as her.

YESEUL’S TRIAL!!!! I have so many feels about this I am going to try to be as concise as possible.

Yeseul was not even once shown or even implied to be the one who was at fault for whatever happened to her. EVERYONE understood, supported and fought for her. Professor Yang, instead of playing the saviour, let Yeseul talk for herself and speak her truth. He stood by her throughout, like it was the most natural thing to do. They had the chance to make him look like a hero, Saviour of the Women™, but they didn’t and I’m so thankful for that. 

Law School was absolutely successful in portraying the trauma of victims of sexual assault. It perfectly showed the immense dehumanisation and humiliation women face in the court. The process was heart wrenching to watch, but the happiness I felt from the final verdict was nothing I have ever experienced from a k-drama before.

Last but not the least, Professor Kim being the mastermind behind Assemblyman Ko’s defeat. She was manipulative and scheming towards him, making him act in ways she wanted him to act, all the while being a passionate professor and a loving mother figure to the students.

In Conclusion, Kudos to Law School makers for making dynamic and beautiful women characters without undermining the struggles they face. I’m grateful for this representation, and I hope more and more people watch this drama because it is amazing and a very well made show 😊
