What is the ending of Netflix's 'True Education'? Review, controversy over racism and sexism, original webtoon

Netflix's "True Education" is finally here! We've packed a comprehensive summary for you, covering an honest review of the drama released after overcoming the racial and sexism controversies of the original webtoon, spoilers for the ending, and even a comparison to the hidden real-life events!

 

Even before the release, there was so much talk about the controversy surrounding the original work, with people asking, "Is it really coming out?" The Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union even issued a statement demanding a halt to production... After so many twists and turns, the veil has finally been lifted!

1. Netflix’s True Education Plot and Exciting Characters

This drama is about how the authority of teachers in South Korea has not only hit rock bottom but has actually broken through, It's a refreshing action series where supervisors create a fictional government agency called the 'Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau' and aggressively solve problems directly in the school field!

 

The lineup of actors is seriously amazing, and the synchronization is insane.

 

Na Hwa-jin (Kim Moo-yeol): He's the top dog at the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau, and his physique and gaze are exactly like Na Hwa-jin... He acted incredibly well.

Choi Kang-seok (Lee Sung-min): Minister of Education, who established the Bureau of Teachers' Rights Protection! You keep things firmly in place, and your aura is insane.

Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo): She's the second-in-command from the Special Forces, but every time an action scene came up, she was so cool I almost smashed a wall;;

Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon/Pio): This is a drama-original character not in the original work; they appear as a genius civil servant who lightens the heavy atmosphere and are super cute.

2. Cannot Ignore? The Controversy Over Racial and Sexism in the Original Webtoon

Actually, this work has a history of being heavily criticized both domestically and internationally even before its release. Back when the original webtoon was being serialized... Racist expressions and sexism controversy It was seriously bad. It even went so far as to halt the serialization on overseas platforms, so that says it all...

 

furthermore "Solving school violence with equal violence isn't true education; it's the glorification of violence." As they said that, the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union also strongly opposed it and demanded that the broadcast be stopped.

So there were really a lot of worried looks, with people asking, "Is Netflix really going to bring this over exactly as is?"

3. Honest Viewing Reviews: Did They Turn Concerns into Refreshing Truths?

To start with the conclusion, the drama toned down a lot of the original's provocative venom!

Perhaps because screenwriter Lee Nam-gyu's previous works were healing dramas like 'The Light in Your Eyes' and 'Morning in the Ward,' he blindly... It was obvious that they paid a lot of attention to the characters' narratives and human empathy, rather than one-dimensional violence like "You take a hit too!"

 

 

Of course, the catharsis you get when Kim Moo-yeol and Jin Ki-joo beat up the villains is no joke. Lately, watching the news about the decline of teachers' authority and all that made me feel as stifled as if I had eaten a million sweet potatoes, but seeing the drama teach them a lesson by slightly crossing the line of the law really made me feel so relieved.

4. Chillingly Realistic Accuracy: Comparison of Real-Life Events in the Webtoon

While watching "Wow, isn't this exactly that incident?" There were so many incidents that served as motifs. It seems like this is exactly when you use the saying that reality is more like a comic book...

 

Congressman's Son's School Bullying Episode: Dad Watching Ryu Jun-hyung's character, who leads bullying relying on his power, reminded me of a certain politician's son rapper who caused a stir in the past due to drunk driving and school violence, so my immersion level went up significantly.

 

Corrupt Teacher Group: Brain A school that collects water and leaks exam papers... This is exactly the same as the Sookmyung Girls' High School twins exam paper leak incident.

 

Island Village Female Teacher Case: The episode where the village head, the powerful figure on the island, tried to harm the new female teacher was based on the really infamous 2016 Sinan Heuksando incident, so watching it made my blood boil.

 

Malicious parental abuse of power: The story about threatening a teacher by hiding a voice recorder in a child's clothes overlapped so much with the Seoi Elementary School pencil incident that it left a heartbreaking and bitter taste... It even reminded me of the real-life fact that the offending parent was a police or prosecution investigator.

 

5. The Netflix 'Tough Love' Ending Finally Revealed

Since the webtoon is still being serialized, everyone must have been most curious about how it would end!

The drama ends with Na Hwa-jin and the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau team members refusing to yield to the very end despite pressure from a massive power bloc (the parents' cartel + corrupt politicians), and completely taking down the final villains who had taken over the school!

 

It didn't simply end with "We beat up all the bad guys with violence and that's it!", but rather concluded with a touching performance where the wounded victim students and the teachers, who were portrayed as incompetent, changed on their own and restored justice in the school. 

 

At the end, when the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau team members all walked away together and delivered the line, "We will protect you," I got goosebumps right away.
It ended cleanly, while also giving off a slight vibe of a Season 2 teaser!
