Law School is an upcoming JTBC legal drama starring Kim Bum and Kim Myung Min. The series follows a law student and a professor of the top law school in South Korea. The two will eventually work together and will take on an unusual case.
Kim Bum is set to play the role of Han Joon Hwi in Law School. The character is a first-year law student and at the top of his class. He is a role model to his classmates, where he even makes his own group study to help them boost their grades.
Han Joon Hwi is generous in sharing his knowledge with his classmate and born a natural leader. He doesn't hesitate in taking care of his team members, especially in times of despair. The recently-released stills showed how he lives his life within the campus.
Kim Bum's character can be seen listening to the lecture of his professor and taking notes. He shows confidence and determination as he strives hard to become a prosecutor in the future. He wanted to speak against his fellow prosecutors who ignore law and justice.
According to the production team, Kim Bum was so passionate about filming Law School and he couldn't let go of the script. They said that he "clearly portrayed a three-dimensional character named Han Joon Hwi with his soft charm." As the story progresses, he'll uncover the truth about the unusual case.
Kim Myung Min, on the other hand, plays Yang Jong Hoon in Law School. He is an elite prosecutor in the past, but now a criminal professor. Most students avoid him as he tends to make hard words. Despite his strict teaching methods, he wanted his future juniors to be the best in the legal profession.
Yang Jong Hoon despises the people who practice expediency rather than those who are ignorant of the law. He stepped down from being a prosecutor because of a complex incident in the past. When he became a professor, he vowed that he'll unlock the full potential of his students.
Some other new stills featured Kim Myung Min's intimidating character. He can be seen scanning the lecture room while walking around, making his students nervous. Yet, this makes him an effective professor as he helps them become confident with themselves.
The production team noted that Yang Jong Hoon isn't afraid to call for justice and he is an expert in the field of law. His poker face never reveals his inner feelings and his sharp tongue spits bitter words. He maintains his strict attitude not only to his students -- but to everyone.
Law School is set to premiere in April on JTBC.
