Awwwwww, thanks!
I think what I love most about Solomon’s Perjury is that the students actually feel like teenagers. Yes, there’s been a death, and other trauma, and they’ve decided to take everything into their hands because the adults with authority have disappointed them. But they still get to have moments of doubt and of cuteness in the midst of the seriousness. There’s stress about their tests and about friendships online. It just all feels more real to me than a lot of high schools shows. I also love that the parental relationships – even the dysfunctional ones – feel real and grounded, too. Of course I love Seo Yeon’s parents the best (her mother continues to delight me), but all of the parents feel more than just caricatures, even when I disagree with them.
What I like least? Hmmmm. Honestly, I don’t have a lot of complaints. Not that it’s a perfect drama (what is?), but it’s very satisfying. As real as the show feels, though, I think I’m still bummed that there was a truck of doom. I really loved Cho Rong and I wish she could be doing more than just be in a coma. Also if the show doesn’t reveal that So Woo and Ji Hoon were secretly dating, I’mma call shenanigans.
