The Story
Shim Eun Seok is a successful judge with a reputation for being rude and abrasive. When she is transferred into the juvenile court system, she is challenged to balance her hatred of young offenders with her belief in justice. Though her attitude and methods may seem unconventional, her need to expose the truth makes her perfect for the job. But, even as she tries her best to always be fair in the face of the law, a tragic memory from her past continues to take a toll on her personal life. Meanwhile, her new co-worker and office-mate shows a more empathetic approach with his cases. His own personal backstory is the perfect reminder that with the right encouragement, these young people still have a chance to grow up as responsible, law-abiding adults.
Should I Watch
“Juvenile Justice” is a dark legal drama that exposes the harsh realities of young criminals and the challenges and temptations they face. It also looks at maximum sentences for the youth and whether a “slap on the wrist” punishment is enough. This is not a series for the faint of heart. It is violent and sadly realistic. The themes swing hard at social responsibility and often harken back to the familiar saying “it takes a village”. The cast is exceptional and the cases are riveting and veer away from easy, cookie-cutter endings. I give “Juvenile Justice” an 9 out of 10 ramen.
