The first episode was based on a real case in 2017. Many details are really happened. It was committed by two girls in true story though.
The brick throwing case in Juvenile Justice is based on two cases the first being "Yongin Apartment brick throwing death case" The child claimed it was done for a school "gravity experiment", was only 9 years old and therefore could not be charged under Korean law. Much like in the drama they are not held accountable as having ill-intent to harm or murder.
The second case involved 2 children playing on the rooftop in which they stated they were playing tag and tripped on a brick and decided to throw it off the roof for safety. The result was the death of a 42-year-old woman passing by. The children were acquitted for being minors.
These cases brought about debate on how Korea should handle minors in criminal acts.
