Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

you don't know how powerful this moment do you?

this is the moment tami decided to overcome her fear just to be with someone she likes

this is the moment she started to realize morgan is more important than what's coming next

this is the moment she realized she never regret breaking all the walls she build to let morgan inside her life

this is what we called character development guys

tami has been going through a lot after her last break-up. bet you guys that tami's ex-boyfriend (lee dongwook's cameo) was the last boyfriend she had. she didn't want to go through that heartbreak again. she didnt want to break any dream of someone she loved. that's what she fear the most.

but now, future can hold on. the important thing is, she got someone by her side. and she want to keep it as long as she could. in her closed-aquarium ofc

fan fic authors be like yes i know this will flop however i simply have too much love for this character and my very niche headcanons for them. and i think that is so fuckin sexy of us

Normal teams: let's wait for captain and yuji to come back to take a group pic.

Ryujin nippon: let's just hold their pics as if they went missing.

Crackheads will be crackheads.

Look at them trying to hole back laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

SAME

im jus tryna move on from law school but the cast is like ✨💖 n o 👊💖✨

[poppyfox]

So apparently, in the original story of Law School Sol B and Joon Hwi end up together but they changed it because Kim Beom and Ryu Hye Young showed stronger chemistry?

Okay so my understanding is that the script was probably changed after a first table read. It makes sense now though... In the first few episodes while I felt that Joon Hwi and Sol A were gonna be the two characters with traction, there was this some sort of testing waters with Joon Hwi and Sol B. Maybe that was what was intended and the Sol A-Joon Hwi relationship was revised during the final script revisions?

I found this most evident with how Sol A looked quite disappointed and hesitant when she told Sol B she would've gladly backed off Joon Hwi, yet it seems as if the writers already knew it was gonna be JoonSol A by that time. Interesting how HyeBeom's chemistry changed the entire story. From the very first episode, I really knew it was them the moment Joon Hwi teased Sol A about wearing pajamas T_T

solhwi being solhwi

Sol A: I read somewhere that if a person keeps staring lovingly at you like you are the entire universe, there is an 85% chance that the person is in love with you. But I disagree with it though.

Joon Hwi: Why?

Sol A: Because I’m pretty sure there is a 100% chance that you are in love with me.

Joon Hwi: *chokes on ramen*

[poppyfox]

a very apt meme, i would say

[poppyfox]

[poppyfox]

joonhwi’s indirect confession

Joon Hwi: *helps Sol A with her homework* Sol A: Thank you so much, Joon Hwi-ah. How can I live without you? Joon Hwi: That’s why you don’t. ok does this even make sense, i just thought of it on my way to school lol

Law School Characters And Their Zodiac Signs

i’m not a professional astrologer and i read about zodiacs only as a hobby so the stuff i write may not be the most accurate but these are just my opinions and based on knowledge i have on zodiacs! but feel free to disagree respectfully, thank you :)

p.s. i used some stereotypical traits of the signs so please don’t get offended lmao

Han Joon Hwi - CAPRICORN

Protective and caring (overall, a gentleman to his friends and especially his girl. like how he changed seats to keep Sol A away from Lee Man Ho and how his face fell when Sol A said that her GPA was 2.02)

Lots of integrity and strong moral principles (to the point he exposed his own uncle believing that his uncle should turn himself in for his wrongdoings)

Down-to-earth (free of pretension, humble and straight-forward)

Uses his knowledge and proficiency to get what he wants 

Behind the serious and aloof exterior, he is actually a big softie and someone you can turn to for help

Kang Sol A - ARIES

Determined and bold (just look at that interview she had with Yangcrates for the special admission exercise and how she takes stuff into her own hands)

Direct (not afraid to speak her mind)

Cheerful disposition and youth-like innocence (Sol A literals brightens up my life and makes me smile whenever I look at her, just like how she makes Joon Hwi do the same heheh)

Selfless (she is not one to show her selflessness overtly but the little things she does tells you a lot, for example, going all out to help with the Bad Fama case and basically things she does for Joon Hwi)

Optimistic (throughout the show, no matter what kind of challenges she is plagued with, she never complains/break down. like nothing can get her down really. remember when the test she did really well for was said to not be counted into their grades or something, she kind of fretted over it a little but then she told Yangcrates that she’ll be fine after awhile)

Yangcrates - AQUARIUS

Eccentric (he can be a little bit weird and have an unconventional and strange way of thinking and behaving)

Unpredictable (he never fails to surprise me and his students throughout the show and does stuff at the most unexpected times, for example, giving hints to Sol A on what resources she can use for Prof Kim’s Civil Law class and helping Yeseul as her public defender)

Sees right through everything (he just knows everything, from Sol B plagiarising to Assemblyman Ko’s hidden intentions)

Non-judgemental (never indulges in the weaknesses/negativities of others and sees things objectively, explaining why his students trust and favour him)

Old soul with a wise, emotionally detached attitude

Professor Kim - SAGITTARIUS

Fun loving and enthusiastic

Speaks the truth and fair-minded (she is honest with her opinions and even though she favours Seungjae, she does not try to defend his serious offence of cheating. she even pushed for permanent exclusion for his own good, was open about it and did not try to hide the fact that she requested for it)

Devoted and generous (look how devoted she is to her students, and even considered resigning to be Yeseul’s attorney)

Hot-headed (I can’t really remember instances of her hot-headedness but she sure looks like that aunt you would not want to mess with)

Kang Sol B - SCORPIO

I smell burning ambition

Headstrong and stubborn (she was so persistent on the fact that she did not plagiarise that I almost believed her had not Joon Hwi be the smoking gun)

Honest and blunt (ouch)

Aura of mystery and darkness around her

Pretty loyal (she is always with the gang even though sometimes I question whether she truly likes them lol. and she also helped Yeseul’s case by searching for precedents that could help, and it did)

Seo Jiho - VIRGO

Practical and logical

Dependable and reliable

Hard to decode actually and proves that he is a worthy challenge (even Joon Hwi agrees)

Stubborn (but in a good way, look at how he tried to seek justice for his father relentlessly despite Jin constantly deriding him)

Uptight as hell (like bro chill you have friends like Sol A and Joon Hwi. if i had friends like them i would LOVE life :)

Jeon Yeseul - PISCES

One of the purest characters in Law School with a good heart

Highly compassionate and empathetic (how she took pity for Yeong Chang and did not want to press charges)

Loyal (still called Joon Hwi ‘Oppa’ despite her bf being salty about it and not showing an ounce of jealousy when her friends all did better than her on a test)

Private and closed off (keeping her abusive relationship a secret and also, when the gang is together, she hardly talks sometimes and acts in ways that may sometimes be hard to read)

Min Bokgi - CANCER

Caring (shows care and concern for his friends, especially Yeseul)

Sulky (i do remember him sulking a lot more than the other characters)

Likes romance (openly shows his affection for Yeseul and he is the only one that shows reactions/interest in solhwi’s interactions)

Yoo Seung Jae - LIBRA

Sweet and chivalrous (the way he talks and treats others like Prof Kim assures me that chivalry is not dead)

Detached (he doesn’t seem that emotionally invested in the things happening around him, like he is there but not or maybe he is just caught up in his own problems)

Indecisive (i just ran out of traits to talk about but the fact that he went from medicine to law makes me think he is indecisive lol)

Jo Ye Beom - GEMINI

Talkative and chatty (pretty self-explanatory)

Two-faced (look how this kid betrayed his own friends)

Actually intelligent and bright not gonna lie

Nosy af (like stop trying to take notes from a study group you don’t belong to like damn)

[poppyfox]

not just crumbs, but a whole damn solhwi meal

i hope we get a season 2 with a SOLHWI MEAL. not just at the bickering/shy sol a stage, but sol a returning those loving gazes to joon hwi and these two dumbos actually realising that they are in love!!!
