K-drama fans, mark your calendars — Netflix is dropping one of its most talked-about Korean series of 2026. Teach You a Lesson (참교육) is a gritty, action-packed school drama that tackles the dark side of South Korea’s education system — and it’s already generating major buzz.
What Is Teach You a Lesson About?
Based on the popular Naver webtoon Get Schooled by Chae Yong-taek and Han Ga-ram, the series follows an official from the Educational Rights Protection Agency (ERPA) — a government body authorized to use physical intervention and unconventional methods to discipline delinquent students and reform the educational system.

Think: government agents storming into schools to fix what teachers and parents couldn’t. It’s intense, emotional, and deeply relevant.

Why It’s Already Controversial
Set in a broken school system pushed to its limit, the series portrays the fictional Teachers’ Rights Protection Bureau stepping in when students, teachers, and parents all cross the line simultaneously. The use of state-sanctioned physical force on students is stirring debate even before the premiere.
