Netflix’s 'Teach You a Lesson' Reaches 68.7 Million Viewing Hours

Netflix’s controversial 10-part South Korean miniseries Teach You a Lesson has logged 68.7 million viewing hours, per FlixPatrol, cementing its place as a major international hit despite the debate that surrounded it before release. The show, adapted from the webtoon Get Schooled, centers on Na Hwa-jin (Kim Mu-yeol), a former Special Forces captain who joins the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, a government body created under the Ministry of Education to protect students and teachers.

He is joined by inspector Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo), tech expert Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon) and Education Minister Choi Gang-seok (Lee Sung-min) as the team confronts organized bullying, teacher burnout, online exploitation and other institutional failures. Blending revenge fantasy, action, social drama and occasional comedy across ten episodes, the series often treats each installment as a self-contained case while gradually revealing a larger arc about the bureau’s origins.
