The feisty role of Kim Hye Soo and her fearless posture are loved by the fans. One user on Twitter wrote, “#JuvenileJustice is so well-written and it deserves more recognition! It depicts so many social issues about young offenders, mirroring someone's reality in a heartbreaking way.

Another fan replied to a user who mentioned Netflix was not promoting the series well enough, “Ikr!!! That's what I've been thinking since earlier this morning. This legal drama hasn't been promoted properly. I just knew it'd be available yesterday because I already added it on my watch list while it was still on "coming soon" tab of Netflix. 😫” Hopefully, viewers will cave in and make the series shoot to #1 in the global top ten Netflix chart.
