K-netizens Call for Netflix to Remove Newly Premiered K-drama Teach You a Lesson with Kim Moo Yeol Due to Controversial and Edgy Take on School Violence and Discipline
I think its fine K-netizens just demand whatever they demand, because there is satisfaction to thwart them when their demands go unanswered lol. This Friday a new K-drama premiered on Netflix, the series Teach You a Lesson starring Kim Moo Yeol with Lee Sung Min, Jin Ki Joo, and P.O. It depicts a future in South Korea where the laws have been revised to create a new teaching supervisory and discipline agency that can go to school run amok by delinquent and bully students in order to use the same if not worse tactics to rein them in. It’s adapted from a popular Korean webtoon which was also controversial when it was published, and one later chapter got a little too close to the racist line that the US webtoon site even pulled it. Unfortunately for K-netizens this is not airing on a public channel and instead is airing on paid subscription Netflix so they can’t even complain they are being forced to watch it being streamed to their televisions. I can’t see Netflix doing anything but the better question is, is this drama even any good? Is it edgelord in that reverse way where the teachers go overboard to teach very heavy handed lessons.





It’s a good show from the get go in my opinion. I think the outcry might stem from the portrayal of educational institutions in South Korea, which is rather negative and at times outlandish. Regardless, I’m still having a great time. Better rush to the end though lol
