Synopsis

Just like its title, K-Drama ‘Law School’ tells the story of students and lecturers in a law school. Yang Jong Hoon (Kim Myung Min) is an ex-prosecutor that changed his career path to a criminal law professor at Hankuk University Law School. He has a very sharp tongue, thus he became a “public enemy” among students who nicknamed him “Yangcrates”.

Meanwhile, Kang Sol (Ryu Hye Young) and Han Joon Hwi (Kim Bum) are freshmen at the law school. The two comes from different social backgrounds. Kang Sol is from a poor family, in contrast to Joon Hwi who comes from a wealthy family.
