New teaser video and poster unveiled
Netflix confirmed that its upcoming live‑action adaptation of the webtoon Get Schooled—now officially titled Teach You A Lesson—will debut on **June 5**. Alongside the announcement, the studio released a teaser poster and a 30‑second trailer.
What the teaser shows
- Classroom disruptions and school‑yard violence.
- Gambling rings and organized crime infiltrating schools.
- Hwa‑jin Na (played by Moo‑yul Kim) reassuring victims: “Don’t worry. We’ll protect you.”
- A line from the Minister of Education: “We stand not with teachers or students, but with the victims.”
Cast and characters
- Moo‑yul Kim as Hwa‑jin Na – a supervisor in the newly formed Teacher Rights Protection Bureau.
- Sung‑min Lee as Kang‑seok Choi – the Minister of Education and founder of the bureau.
- Ki‑joo Jin as Han‑lim Im – a former special‑forces soldier turned supervisor.
- Ji‑hoon Pyo (P.O of Block B) as Geun‑dae Bong – a brilliant civil servant working for the bureau.
Premise
The series is set in a world where teachers have lost authority, prompting the Ministry of Education to create the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau. Government‑dispatched supervisors intervene at problem schools, confronting unruly students and parents with bold, often unorthodox methods.
Production team
- Director: Jong‑chan Hong (Juvenile Justice, Mr. Plankton)
- Writer: Nam‑kyu Lee (Behind Your Touch, The Light in Your Eyes)
Adaptation considerations
The original webtoon was praised for its strong state‑power narrative but faced criticism for portraying women and people of color as antagonists and for resolving conflicts through violence. Director Hong has acknowledged these concerns and promised a more sensitive approach for the live‑action version.
Publishing
Ablaze Publishing will release the series in print. WEBTOON Entertainment previously offered the English digital version but has since removed the title from its platform.
