V. Reception
The film has given the scores of 6.1 on IMDB &, 7.7 on Mydramalist. William Schwartz from HanCinema has reviewed Justice High as - While predictable in a lot of ways Justice High excels in its sense of genuine warmth and sympathy for its frequently oblivious high school characters. While a bit of a cheap production director Chae Yeo-joon even uses that to his advantage by using abrupt musical cues for scene transitions as a kind of a minor running gag. A lot of Justice High manages to elicit a smile by just being so gosh-darned cute, with random expectation breaking jokes sprinkled throughout being sold entirely on the strength of strong genre-appropriate performances from the cast. For a bunch of twenty-somethings the actors in Justice High are surprisingly convincing high school students.
