3/4
There has been much debate in South Korea about how to punish and rehabilitate underage criminals. "Juvenile Justice" deals with these issues in a taut manner, using the law to mete out judicial revenge. Go to Full Review
Pierce Conran South China Morning Post 03/02/2022
3/5
A grounded actors showcase that explores juvenile delinquency in a tightly woven frame of jurisprudence which occasionally shifts into a very melodramatic gear. Go to Full Review

3/5
This intense, character-driven legal drama presents a strong cast, solid plot lines, and interesting twists that appeal to universal audiences. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 02/26/2022
Juvenile Justice is about as close to an American-style procedural as Netflix or Korean TV gets. We hope we get a little more backstory on the main character, but the cases might just be compelling enough to keep our interest. Go to Full Review

Mary P @RT32292643 4d I really enjoyed watching the 10 episodes and I would love to watch and wait if there will be a season 2 for Juvenile justice. See more Bazla B @RT49974851 Jul 23 Too niche for yall who only watch something based on tiktok hype. If your dopamine baseline is low, go watch something else that might help you with your addiction to quick dopamine. Fix your attention span. See more S p a c @RT98555958 03/03/2025 This series has an interesting approach; it focuses on the powerlessness of the law against children, and thus the kids in this series see the law as nothing more than a mere scold-and-go type of punishment, and if laws are powerless against an individual, what power is there to limit their actions? Our main character, who is a judge, had some surprisingly large grudges against these types of crimes committed by juveniles. What causes this hatred? That is for you to find out. See more Varun T @RT18430006 08/22/2024 This is definitely one of the best crime series I've ever watched, Grounded approach, well written characters, realistic depictions of struggles faces by minor victims, broken families and the pain caused by children to the society and how we society as whole failed to help these children in trouble. There are very impactful, heartbreaking emotional scenes, the protagonists Kim Hye-soo and Kim Mu-yeol did a really good job and nailed the performance many notable supporting actors perform well. Dark, Court-room drama, investigation & suspense! See more Jessica D @RT39831262 11/03/2023 The best shows I've ever watched. It's not only about how juveniles have the possibility to be perpetrators but how some can be wrongly accused. One main thing that sticks in my mind is how the show kept on pointing out the responsibility of every parent to their children. Also, how the justice system SHOULD work. This is a must see show especially to parents. See more London H @Artworks 07/19/2023 Gets super boring after episode five See more Read all reviews
