As the headline and many other reviews suggests, Teach You A Lesson can be described somewhat lazily as "Taxi Driver in a school setting". But in reality, it is so much more than that. Teach You A Lesson is a wonderfully complete cinematic masterpiece, with its fair share of funny and serious moments. Almost every episode presents its own unique problem in the South Korean school system, tackling the issues of gangsterism, bullying, drugs and more. The main cast always finds a way to give the villain(s) "a taste of their own medicine", with lots of immersive action and emotional situations. On the topic of the main cast, you will find that each and every one of them play an important and unique role to resolve issues as a team, with each member excelling at different things. Overall, Teach You A Lesson is an incredibly thought-provoking critique of the flaws in the South Korean education system, allowing the audience to step in the shoes of both the victim and the perpetrator. If you ever find yourself rewatching, there are lots of hidden details and foreshadowing that you might have missed. Happy watching!
