"Law School" cast Kim Bum and Ryu Hye Young spoke about their friendship on the set of the JTBC drama.

After debuting last April 14, the mystery-crime series instantly became the talk of the town with the show's star-studded cast and intriguing storyline.

Over social media, fans can't help but express their amusement with unexpected turns of events that piqued the interest of the viewers. They even compared the Korean drama to ABC's legal thriller series "How to Get Away with Murder," starring Viola Davis.

"Law School" Leads Kim Bum and Ryu Hye Young Spill the Tea

Now, the lead stars Kim Bum and Ryu Hye Young share their insights about their roles and reveal what it's like working together.

The 30-year-old actress plays the role of a first-year law student, Kang Sol A, who managed to enter the elite Hankuk University despite being underprivileged.

On the other hand, his groupmate Han Joon Hwi, portrayed by the "Boys Over Flowers" actor, is the top student of his class but lives a mysterious life. To make things worse, he was named as one of the prime suspects of his uncle and law professor Seo Byeong Joo's death inside the university.

In a new report, Ryu Hye Young shares how she carries out the role of the high-spirited Kang Sol A.

The "Dear my Room" star revealed that she sympathizes with the character and "continue to take a fair and fair move with a passionate heart."

Meanwhile, his co-star went to describe the actress as someone who is more "passionate" than Sol A, adding "she is a friend who approaches acting more seriously than anyone else and runs very sincerely on what he is in charge of."

As for Kim Bum, he mentioned that just like Han Joon Hwi, he takes "truth and justice very seriously" but also described himself as someone who can "empathize with the pain and conflict" by his motives.

When it comes to his colleagues, the "Padam Padam" star shares that he likes to take care of the people around him - whether he is with his co-actors or the "Law School" team.

Ryu Hye Young Feels Comfortable Working with the "Law School" Cast

This is why Ryu Hye Young mentioned that she is comfortable working with Kim Bum, as well as the whole "Law School" cast.

In a previous report, the "Love, Lies" actress revealed that she is thrilled and honored to be acting alongside respected and well-known stars and for portraying Kang Sol A's role.

Aside from the duo, the JTBC drama cast also includes Kim Myung Min, who plays the former prosecutor turned professor Yang Jong Hoon. The student dubbed him as professor "Yangcrates" because of his strict and authoritarian way of teaching.

Capping off the lead stars is Lee Jung Eun as Kim Eun Sook. Just like Yang Jong Hoon, she is also a former prosecutor who chose to teach law in a prestigious university.
