Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

School teachers have a hard time to discipline students and they often don’t even have the will to do so. The authority of the teachers in the classroom breaks down and this causes serious social issues. The National Assembly and the Minister of Education passes the Amendment to the Act on the Protection of Teachers' Rights. With the passage of the law, a new government organization, the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, is formed. Na Hwa-Jin (Kim Moo-Yul) belongs to the Educational Rights Protection Bureau. He is sent to a problem school as a supervisor. There, he can educate the students without any restrictions or limitations.

Notes

Lina Jun 08 2026 12:35 pm What a great surprise this series turned out to be! I started watching it without many expectations and ended up completely hooked. The storyline was engaging from beginning to end, with the perfect mix of action, suspense, humor, and emotion. What I appreciated most was that it wasn't just entertaining—it also carried important messages and lessons that made the story feel meaningful. The characters were well developed, the performances were fantastic, and the dialogue felt natural and refreshing. There were so many moments that were oddly satisfying to watch, and every episode left me wanting more. It's rare to find a show that keeps you invested while also making you laugh and reflect at the same time. Definitely one of my favorite Netflix watches lately. Now I'm crossing my fingers for a Season 2 because this is a story I'd love to continue following.

Eri Jun 08 2026 10:42 am I hope there's a second season! There's so much to explore in the plot (I haven't read the manhwa), and my Geundae-Hanrim ship is just starting to sail. T_T

Lyd82 Jun 08 2026 10:40 am "Teach You a Lesson" is a highly engaging K-drama with a fantastic storyline and great writing. But, the actors playing the middle and high school students look visibly mature, appearing more like they are in their mid-twenties than actual teenagers.

Aeryn Jun 08 2026 7:49 am I've never gave any comments here but this drama is so good that I couldnt move on! Kim Moo-Yul really nailed this character! Probably will be my best kdrama of the year!!!

Kdrama_nerd Jun 08 2026 7:23 am Jo Hyun Woo (EP 7) is so immersed in his character. I actually felt so much and cried for a father character, for the first time. This also made me look into more of his other work. BIG FAN

Lucy Jun 08 2026 7:06 am Wow!

Another great drama! It does feel like *TaxiDriver ????

G Jun 07 2026 7:58 pm U Jin’s mother is the scourge of the earth. Toxic parents like her should have their mental health evaluated before even being allowed to conceive. Mad woman.

Bimini Jun 07 2026 2:06 pm Impressive. Tackles a difficult subject matter from many perspectives. Well written and constructed script and story line. Presents one possible alternative way in which to handle each of these cases. Believable acting, with little build up to each scenario.

K-li Jun 07 2026 1:26 pm Does anybody knows who plays the soundtrack "Chihuahua" in the show?

shanks Jun 07 2026 8:46 am as a standalone it's decent but knowing the webtoon.. it's such a shame because I really did enjoy the webtoon in the beginning :(

Anna Jun 07 2026 7:47 am This drama is so amazing kinda giving Study group's vibe. I love it

Maria Jun 07 2026 7:31 am I love the series so much. I feel like I'm watching Taxi Driver meets Juvenile Justice. ?❤️

Riri Jun 07 2026 7:15 am This has the feel and vibe of Trauma Code where there is one main character who defies the norm and is supported by a slew of his or her loyalists. Somebody mentioned about John Cena. Now , I cannot unsee it.

Qweerty Jun 07 2026 4:01 am @Dimitra was right. @kcecece is the actress who plays Oh Yun-Jin

Dimitra Jun 07 2026 2:15 am I noticed what appears to be an error in the cast listing for “Teach you a lesson” on your website. One of the actresses listed may be incorrect. I believe the actress who plays Oh Yun-Jin is not correctly identified. Unfortunately, I do not know her full name, but her Instagram account is @kcecece. I thought I would bring this to your attention in case you would like to verify and update the information.

Virtusa Jun 07 2026 12:51 am Love the series!!! Hope it’s sequel to Brave Citizen movie and Hope Shin Hye-Sun would appear here. ???

Saranghae Jun 06 2026 4:31 pm I want to retract what I wrote below. I'm on episode 4 and only now I can say that the whole story makes sense. Great series.

someone Jun 06 2026 4:12 pm Kim moo yul is so atractive here?????. Btw this is my first time kim moo yul kdrama ?

Mr Jun 06 2026 3:04 pm This was surprisingly the best kdrama. I love this kind of drama. This is the reason I watch kdrama. There is message, moral and fighting against corruption and fighting for the victims.

dludiodioo Jun 06 2026 12:28 pm OH.MY.GOD The MC is literally look like the exact copy of the Manhwa. I'm so down for this. I hope it has 100 more episodes

AC Jun 06 2026 11:44 am The story is incredibly relatable and reflects today's reality remarkably well.

ac Jun 06 2026 11:42 am The story is incredibly relatable and reflects today's reality remarkably well.

Best Kdrama of 2026 Jun 06 2026 11:04 am This is one of the best Kdrama I've watched this year 2026. The topic was so heavy and heartbreaking and I always cried at the end of each episodes but still I enjoyed watching this series, it was perfectly blended with funny, action, great acting, heavy scenes and heartfelt scenes with this Kdrama. It deserves all the love, recognitions and awards soon in. Kdrama acting in Korea.

squi Jun 06 2026 7:44 am @Saranghae tbh, i don't even think this drama is exaggerated. Teachers are cowards. And this does happen in real life. There are alot of bullying cases in korea, especially with hierarchy involved, and even worse than this. Maybe you should do more research.

Saranghae Jun 06 2026 7:00 am What I think is that this drama is exaggerated and unreal. Where is this happening? Moreover, where are all the teachers????? Doesn't anyone see that in the classrooms and in the hallways of the school there are children being abused????? Come on, give me a break ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

Lalala Jun 06 2026 6:12 am Love that Kim Nam-Gil rejected this drama and got Kim Muyeol as replacement. I love both actor but this character has similar image with Kim Hae-il. Meanwhile Kim Muyeol fits the role perfectly. Imagine Kim Hae-il and Na Hwa-jin meet, I don't think evils would dare messing up with them

augmentedmelon Jun 06 2026 4:59 am now that we got study group and true education, we need a to not die drama (cast me as dajun please), also to not die the webtoon was shown in the gambling episode

maria.georgianne Jun 06 2026 1:32 am is it just me? i find hwa jin and han rim's chemistry sooooo??? please i'm hoping this will end with them

Jamse Jun 05 2026 10:21 pm Is it just me, or does Na Hwa Jin resemble actor and WWE star Jon Cena?

RM Jun 05 2026 6:57 pm 10/10 The whole ERPB team was aura farming especially na Hwa jin and Choi gang seok. Han rim and geun Dae were great too Spoiler

My only disappointment is that Hwa jin should've beaten up that gyu cheol even more in the climax than just the whole circle kind of emotional moment with forgiveness again. I would've crashed out if minister Choi hadn't come to gyu cheol and list out his crimes and saying he'll never step foot into the school again

gha Jun 05 2026 4:23 pm I really thought Kim Nam Gil was the main lead but when I watched Kim Moo Yul, she was super good. It's really like that, whoever is the second choice, the drama will really be a hit because she's good and the lead is great❤

F Jun 05 2026 12:23 pm Is Im Han-rim the daughter of the owner of Hanlim Gym? I read her story in manhwa.. she was the one who coaches the uncle of Yoon Ga-min to be a fighter. Does it mean that she's older than Ga-min's uncle? And Get Schooled/True Education comes first to Study Group? Please someone summarized the Blue String Universe? ?

Hamidah Ashari Jun 05 2026 11:24 am Simply awesome. Love it!!

M3rry Jun 05 2026 10:38 am Gooooood from the begining But i dont like jin ki joo For this role suit for shin hye sun ??

Riri Jun 05 2026 10:26 am I miss Song Young-gyu . :(
