When I watched the first two episodes of legal high, I didn't expect it to be funny and silly. I expect it to be a bit dramatic and romantic (see the photo in its page and you'll understand). nevertheless, I get hooked to it and I can say it's definitely one of the best original stories ever! The story was really outstanding! It could confuse you, mislead you, make you laugh out loud, get teary because of its silliness and absurdities, and most importantly it could put you to minutes of silence and ponder about reality issues about justice, humanity, and society. The story is well written that it amuses me to the point that I get frustrated of how my emotions are being tricked while watching the drama. For a second you may thought that you may have to cry for the dramatic atmosphere and then comes the feeling of betrayal because of the realization of how absurd it is. (you will understand this feeling if you completed this! seriously!) It is very comical yet it contains depth. At one point it will make you laugh and at some point it will get you all serious. The story is perfect when it comes to absurdities, humor, silliness, morale, depth. It is a profound masterpiece of a complex ironic combination of law and comedy. The actors and actresses did a really really great job in portraying the characters. I can say Sakai Masato must be a veteran in acting. Usually Im the type of drama person who fell in love with a drama character if the actor playing it is oh-so handsome regardless of its annoying personality(Enrique in flower boy next door for example). Im in love with Komikado-sensei not because of his looks, but because of his unique personality well acted by Masato-sensei. The drama would not be that amusing if not for the good work of portraying awesome characters by talented actors and actresses. Miki-sensei, Mayuzumi, Hattori-san, and Ranmaru are examples of such work of art. Music was surprisingly entertaining especially the opening song. For 2 months after watching the drama, I always recall the opening song in my head and mutter the beat unconsciously making people around me think I'm crazy. From time to time, I would watch legal high and replay the scenes in the court wherein Komikado-sensei and Machiko is at its most hyperactive and funniest. I just cant get over of its silliness. very amusing indeed. In conclusion, this drama is a must-must watch! It would not fail you to laugh and go crazy of its absurdities. Most of all, it will really realize you of some lessons of the realities and complexities of human nature and the society where humans live.
