Episode 1 & 2 comments
http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.php?p=788595#788595
Just finished watching episode 3
This series is getting really good, unexpectedly. Even though they are different types of drama, I think it's better than Medaka (which I thought was great), Furuhata Ninzaburo, and HERO (which bears some resemblance).
I never really understood the appeal of studying law before (apart from financial incentives), but episode 3 really showed me what can be so interesting with legal studies. It seems to me, legal studies is more than just studying the rules which govern society, but also understanding the human mind, behaviour and the working of many different corners of society, which can be quite dynamic.
I am getting used to the pace of this drama. I could follow episode 2 and 3 without a second viewing. It does demand your brain to work quite a lot though.

Where did you find this drama?... i've been looking for it for a long time! |
I am watching a Chinese-subbed version. Sorry to disappoint. Almost all the dramas I watch in the past and in future are Chinese-subbed. You can find the raws and probably Korean subs on ClubBox.
http://boxfile.co.kr/
I found the NG and making specials for the DVD boxset.
I can upload those if anyone is interested. They came only with Chinese subs too.

I failed to be moved by episode 8. But perhaps only because I am too much of a cynic.
Episode 9 was a lot of fun. And it seemed to be over in no time, very enjoyable.

Just finished.
For those who haven't seen it, this series basically involves the 8 main characters sitting around and discussing legal case studies. Those are the best parts IMO. I really enjoyed the intellectual discussions, people from different backgrounds sharing different viewpoints. The camaraderie and rapport, the re-enactments, ... and sometimes I could understand what the people involved in those cases felt, and see the dynamic appeal of legal studies, like in episode 3, these are the highlights for me.
Not much time was spent on the individual stories and backgrounds of the 8 main characters. The relationships between them were not developed very much either (no time), with the exception being Kitihara and Morino. While enjoyable, their friendship did not leave a particularly strong impression on me, and I did not wish for more time/explanation on these parts, other viewers may feel quite differently. Mimura, was quite good I thought. Her inexperience showed, but it suited her character. Matsuyuki Yasuko was probably the most convincing, though the Megumi's and the oldguys didn't have a lot to do.
I would recommend it. But the Chinese subtitles for this series was probably one of the most difficult to understand in my experience, so I guess only those fluent in Japanese can fully understand and appreciate this series.

Now only the DVD specials (with cast interviews) remains.
