Most of the k-dramas we see more than a variety of continuous show shows, so it’s rather unusual when we find one more procedural. But not only teen justice, the latest drama drama on Netflix, procedural, but it feels like the procedural American network from the 90s or early 2000s. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.
JUVENILE JUSTICE: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
He is clearly not a fan of teenage protection laws on books that say that offenders 13 and younger will only get several years in teenager / school detention, and there is no prison time, even for violations such as murder. When he arrived as one of the associated judges under the chairman of Kang Won-Joong (Lee Sung-Min), he was welcomed by other Associate Judges, Cha Tae-Joo (Kim Mu-Yeol), which was basically opposite his temper. He really cared about the children who came to the courtroom and made sure to follow up with them when they tried to straighten out their lives.
Judge Kang was summoned from his TV news show and was assigned to the hearing of young people who claimed he killed a 8-year-old child and cut off the child’s body. Claims by the boy’s boy and Harried Guardian are that he suffered from schizophrenia. This is an important case he wants to complete quickly to regulate himself to run a political office. But when he assigned this case to judge Shim, the idea came out the window.
When he questioned the boy during the indictment, something about his story did not increase. If he is a schizophrenia diagnosed, when he shows the documentation, then the crime scene when he describes it won’t be so clean. He won’t be able to take the time to plan things as he explained. And he certainly won’t have the patience to cut the poor child after killing him. No, he covered others, because he knew as the 13-year-old child only meant 2 years in teenager detention.
He wants to investigate, but assess Kang’s objects, think that this must be tried like or sent back to the police. Judge Cha decided to help him investigate, because he preferred to see them get this case right rather than just punishing the boy.
Our taking: Written by Kim Min-seok, teen justice takes a little charm of the classic American network drama – with a little additional curse sprinkled for streaming viewers. Why do we think so? Because Judge Shim took these cases themselves and investigated them, something you might see, say, procedural CBS, but it doesn’t happen in real life.
There are supporting characters, like a pair of employees who have heard the reputation of “Judge Max” sedate him. He was not only tough on the offender, but he burned midnight oil in the office almost every day. Will he demand such dedication from the Registrar and Cha Judge?
Of course, what we want to find out more about Judge Shim who is disgusted for Juvenile perpetrators. In the expanded scene at the “MJ” dinner (“Meet The Hake”) with several teenagers who were recently released, Judge Shim insisted that one of the students stole a woman’s wallet. He was very sure that he had just called the girl a liar and began calling the police, while assessing the Cha object. Sherlock’s level of observation skills needed for Judge Shim to prove that the girl stole a wallet, even if it was not necessarily the wallet she was accused of stealing.
He applied advanced observation and investigative skills in a way that placed it on the other side of many of these children, most of whom tried to return to crime-free life. So, who hurt him? Why is he in a teen court if he thinks all teenagers are liars who have to rot in prison? We want to see it in the upcoming episode. It will be very important as the judge and their team moved from case to kasing, just like how to bind everything together.
