Definitely defines what a "true education" means in south korea.
It's how writers tells a deep story such as this limited series, but not just normalizing the dark reality of education systems happening around IRL, but what matters is on how it really resonates to many even outside SK.
The back to back hit in Netflix really deserved the hype up until now its still on the top 10!! And so, another favorite this 2026 with one of my go-to genres ever since psychological action and crime dramas came in!!! I love the aspect and characters of this drama portraying the dark reality of educational system in Korea. Even I myself can resonate a lot with each and every episode, as few of them touches my heart as it really came into such realistic incidents and scenes. I really appreciate the directors and writers of this limited series in which it portrays truth, trust and reliability in every incidents and accidents. actually it's true based on some comments that there few flaws that were kept left behind, but it was a bit short but discreet. Very straight to the point, the stories behind every cases really resonates me a lot. Justice is served, but without discipline and when power comes in, it became a bigger problem. One thing for sure is in every crime served with sentences and evidences, it definitely “teach you a lesson” ☺️
Regarding the cast and characters, I have just noticed that one of the main leads, which is Kim Mu Yeol is not my first drama with him. It was high cookie (2023) and Juvenile Justice (2022), as well as Lee Sung Min in other law and crime kdramas such as Reborn Rich (2022), Once Upon a Small Town (2021), Juvenile Justice (2022) (but yea i think its kind of a reunion of them two haha), and many more. Also to Jin Ki Joo who really outshines her role in an action film rather than romance. I think it definitely suits her ever since watching her last 2020 in her 2019 drama, A Secret Life of My Secretary, and as she started to be so invested in high school actions series and stories like in this drama and in her first action role in 2025 Undercover High School. She made a remarkable performance in this drama, recognizing her so many potentials to enter in another series like this but as a detective or police officer. And of course, I've been waiting for P.O's comeback and other leading roles but he still gave so much impressions after seeing him during the pandemic with his remarkable role in Hotel Del Luna (2019) and Good Partner (2025). And now, seeing them all shine was really perfect, even a great casting and characters that even I myself wondered the trainings and efforts they had for this drama was totally paid off.
Overall, I totally loved the hype of this drama because of how it hits hard to many viewers even outside SK. I just can't believe that it really exceed my expectations after seeing tons of thriller, action, comedy dramas like this. It's not just limited to high school, but also the politics are definitely involved because of its injustice of education system by using their powers to control. Really a great watch, really recommended for beginners. Even can be binge watchable in just a day.
Really appreciated the casts, the production, director and writers fir making this drama so remarkable and unforgettable as it takes time for me to move on because totally this limited series made me happy and satisfied from beginning til the end.
