La giudice

This show touch all part of case the criminal, the victim, the families. You will see each side of emotions its not just court room darma its journal of emotions. In last episode in few last mints my heart exploded.. the pain of a mother. Kim did a fantastic job ..love her.

Kim Hye Su delivers her lines with so much conviction and mental prowess her persona alone influences those around her that are morally feeble and need proper cultivation but also rectifies on behalf of those quiet unheard defeated voices at large.

This is a serious drama that seeks to look carefully at the good and bad of juvenile justice in Korea. As usual for Korean drama that is achieved via a highly engaging story line that entertains as well as informs.

Just occasionally the travails of Judge Sim, the key protagonist, lurch beyond credibility. But the propulsive plot and powerful acting keep you glued and almost succeed in cloaking these moments.

Overall a highly rewarding watch that I recommend to everyone who has yet to discover the great strengths of Korean dramas.

This Netflix original series is the saddest and one of the best show i have ever seen. Juvenile Justice is so well-written and it deserves more recognition! It depicts so many social issues about young offenders, mirroring someone's reality in a heartbreaking way. The plot, characters, acting, and every aspects are just remarkable.

I heard Korean dramas are very popular all over south east Asia and especially in China. I'm starting to see why, as all k-dramas I have watched were great (move to heaven, squid game, my name).

The characters are shown very well and I could relate quickly. The cases made me think about law and justice. The pace is just right, the story thrilling and touching.

Sometimes I'm not sure whether something is Korean culture or individual character e.g. Bosses seem to yell a lot, and there is a strong hierarchy of respect between people, whereas in western culture everyone is more equal, irrespective of age and position (at least compared to as it's shown in juvenile justice). One case is about the education system where I also think some background info would be helpful to research upfront.

This left me a tiny bit confused at times.

9/10

PS: im not criticizing the show for showing Korean culture, just stating it may make some situations seem weird for westerners.
