Teach You a Lesson: Netflix K-Drama Based on Get Schooled

The Teach You a Lesson K-drama hit Netflix on June 5, 2026. If you've been searching under "True Education," "Get Schooled," or "참교육," all three names point to the same thing: a Naver webtoon by writer Chae Yong-taek and artist Han Ga-ram, now adapted as a 10-episode Netflix series.

TL;DR: Teach You a Lesson is streaming on Netflix now. 10 episodes, based on the Get Schooled webtoon. Kim Mu-yeol plays the head of a fictional government bureau authorized to discipline violent students by physical means. The EPRB does not exist in real Korean law.

Key takeaways

• Netflix release: June 5, 2026, all 10 episodes at once
• Title confusion: "Teach You a Lesson" (Netflix) = "Get Schooled" (manhwa English) = 참교육 (Korean)
• Lead cast: Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-joo, P.O
• Source: Naver webtoon by Chae Yong-taek (story) and Han Ga-ram (art)
• The EPRB is fictional. Korea has no such government organization

What is Teach You a Lesson on Netflix?

Teach You a Lesson centers on Na Hwa Jin, played by Kim Mu-yeol, as the head of the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, a fictional Korean government body created specifically to intervene in schools where normal disciplinary systems have collapsed. The bureau operates with special authorization to use physical force on violent students and educators who enable abuse.

The show's premise is deliberately extreme. School teachers in the drama's world have largely stopped attempting discipline; the EPRB exists because every other layer of the system failed first. Na Hwa Jin and his team go where teachers legally cannot.

Supporting cast: Lee Sung-min as Choi Gang Seok, Jin Ki-joo as Im Han Rim, P.O as Bong Geun Dae.

Production ran from March through September 2025. Netflix released all 10 episodes simultaneously on June 5, 2026.

The Get Schooled manhwa it's based on

The source webtoon ran on Naver under the Korean title 참교육. The English Naver translation used "Get Schooled." Fan communities frequently cited it as "True Education" because that's a closer literal translation. Netflix introduced a fourth option: "Teach You a Lesson."

This title fragmentation is why the show is hard to search for. The three-way name split scattered its manhwa readership across different search queries for the same series.

The manhwa by Chae Yong-taek and Han Ga-ram used its EPRB premise as satire. Physical intervention as an institutional policy doesn't exist in Korean law; the webtoon used it to push the question of what happens when schools genuinely can't manage the students they're responsible for. Whether the Netflix adaptation preserves that satirical edge or softens it for a global audience is something readers of the source material will notice quickly.

If you want something with similar school-tension energy while you wait, best thriller manhwa has comparable picks.

Why it matters for manhwa readers

Most webtoon-to-Netflix adaptations have been fantasy or romance. Teach You a Lesson adapts a school action manhwa with an explicitly dark premise. That's a narrower adaptation bet than shows like Sweet Home or The Silent Sea.

This is one of the few adaptations where the source's central provocation (state-authorized corporal punishment) was the actual draw, not set dressing. Readers who followed the manhwa know it earns its violence by making the case for why every other option was tried first. Whether the drama does the same will define whether this is a faithful adaptation or a different animal with the same name.

For manhwa with that same energy, best action manhwa in 2026 has the field covered.
