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 😊

who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?

Don't allow others to consume you. If they don't call, go to sleep. If they don't message you, put away your phone & have a good day. If they are distant and refuse to tell you what's wrong, go home and do something fun. You live for yourself first. They are secondary.

fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out

Stand up, warrior; you are not yet finished. Beaten you may be, but broken? Angels have fallen from greater heights and survived, so why shouldn’t you? Never mind what you are made of; you are more than this flesh that binds you. There is nothing you have to fear that should not fear you a thousand times more. Your heart is a galaxy, and your soul is lined in stars. You are something extraordinary, my dear.
