'Teach You a Lesson' is based on the webtoon 'Get Schooled,' following a team of inspectors at the fictional Education Rights Protection Bureau as they set out to teach bullies a lesson. The series features a star-studded cast, including Lee Sung-min, Kim Mu-yeol, Jin Ki-joo, and Pyo Ji-hoon (also known as P.O. of K-pop boy group Block B).
This success marks another milestone for Korean content on Netflix, following the platform's announcement to increase its investment in original K-dramas.
As the popularity of K-dramas continues to grow globally, this achievement serves as a testament to the power of Korean storytelling and its ability to transcend cultural boundaries. With four other Korean titles ranking in the top 10, it is clear that Netflix's investment in K-content is paying off.
