After School Theater Club (2026)

Perfection!

I have a soft spot for kids doing well in acting (makes me cry every time since I know how hard it is), and seeing the energy from the students and the passion of the teachers I can confirm I have not teared up this much in ages while watching korean tv.

No notes on the show. Perfect mix of classes, fun activities, cooking and just getting to know everyone on the show. The dedication from Kim Tae-Ri is so inspiring, no one told her told her to do so much research or care this much, it really shows her love for the craft of acting (give her more awards pls!). Choi Hyun-Wook being so young as he is and being there for all these kids was beautiful to see. Kangnam and Code Kunst was the perfect balance for this show as well. All of the kids are such strong characters as well and made me so happy to be able to follow them.

I want a another season so bad, or at least an episode where they all just meet up again!

Drama! Tears! Laughter! Heart!

This show has more drama & tears than a melodrama and more laughs than a comedy! If you're not moved by it, then you've got a heart of stone!

The very cute kids, and teachers, pulled off a miracle by putting on a play in only 2 weeks. I felt so proud watching the final performance.

I was a big fan of Kim Taeri beforehand, and this show has increased my admiration even more! Her passion, hard work, sincerity, empathy and enthusiasm are inspiring.

It's a shame that the initial marketing focused on the conflict between Kim Taeri & Choi Hyun-Wook over their different attitudes to the acting classes, so that put many people off and the viewership ratings were disappointingly low. Those ratings don't reflect the quality of the show, and it's well worth watching this heartwarming project.
