From a complete summary of the cast including Kim Moo-yeol, Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-joo, and Pyo Ji-hoon, to news on the possibility of a Season 2 production that topped the global charts for two consecutive weeks! Check it out right now!

 

1. Netflix <True Education> Basic Information, How Many Episodes Is It?

Release Date: June 5, 2026

Episodes: 10 episodes in total (The perfect amount to binge-watch over the weekend while snacking!)

Director/Screenplay: Director Hong Jong-chan of *Juvenile Delinquent* and Writer Lee Nam-kyu of *The Light in Your Eyes* have teamed up. Just looking at the combination, you can be sure both the direction and the narrative will be top-notch, right?

 

It's a refreshing fantasy action series where a fictional government agency called the 'Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau' steps in to fix a school ruined by perpetrators of school violence who cross the line and irresponsible adults, wiping them all out!

2. A Complete Summary of Characters & Cast of True Education

Since the original webtoon is so famous, I'm sure a lot of people were worried about the casting, but with a large number of talented actors appearing, the immersion is incredible... Let me introduce the lineup of the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau's quartet right away!

 

Na Hwa-jin (Kim Moo-yeol)
The main supervisor of the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau! He is the character dispatched to scenes that have turned schools into lawless zones plagued by gambling, drugs, and violence. He teaches the villains a lesson in a ruthless and unconventional way, and Kim Moo-yeol's physique and action acting are absolutely insane... I felt an explosion of catharsis the entire time I was watching.

 

Choi Kang-seok (Lee Sung-min)
A former politician turned Minister of Education and the mastermind behind the establishment of the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau! He delivers the memorable line, "Neither on the teachers' side nor the students', but on the side of the victims," ​​and thanks to actor Lee Sung-min's signature weighty performance, the drama feels perfectly grounded. It's so reassuring!

 

Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo)
He is a supervisor at the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau who is actually a former Special Forces member. He has a tenacious energy and absolutely cannot stand injustice, and his agile and powerful action is so cool that I went through a denial phase of becoming a fan the whole time I was watching. His chemistry with Na Hwa-jin is also insane.

 

Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon/P.O)
The amazing thing is that this character is an original drama character not found in the original work! He is the brains of the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau and a genius officer; he starts off flustered by the scenes but gradually grows as a character. Thanks to Pyo's unique puppy-like charm, he serves as a perfect source of cheerful energy amidst the heavy atmosphere!

3. Global box office sensation and the possibility of 'Season 2'

It's only been about two weeks since the drama came out, but the ratings are absolutely phenomenal. I heard it's been number one in the Netflix Global Top 10 Non-English Shows category for a whopping two weeks in a row!

 

I heard that not only did it top the charts in 46 countries including Korea, Japan, and Singapore, but it also made it onto the charts in as many as 91 countries, including the US, UK, France, and Brazil.

 

Given the situation, there are already tons of people asking, "When is Season 2 coming out?" I saw in a recent interview that the cast and crew seem to be thrilled by the massive success; they're apparently completely optimistic about producing a new season and are practically bursting with enthusiasm to participate! With numbers like these, I don't think there's any reason for Netflix not to sign off on Season 2.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

 

Q1. What are the differences between the original webtoon and the drama?
A1. The webtoon really focused heavily on ruthless physical retaliation and the 'an eye for an eye' impact, right? On the other hand, true to the direction of Director Hong Jong-chan, who sharply dealt with the dark side of juvenile crime, the drama explored the loopholes in the system and the suffering felt by the victims in a more emotional and profound way! Also, the appearance of the cute original character 'Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon)' is a big difference.

 

Q2. Is it not cruel or childish?
A2. The action scenes have great impact and are a bit thrilling, but rather than being just for the sake of being stimulating, the story is solid and keeps you highly immersed! Most reviews say, "I thought it would be childish, but the actors' performances were insane, so I binge-watched it until the very end."

 

Q3. Is Season 2 of <True Education> confirmed?
A3. Netflix hasn't officially confirmed it yet, but the global No. 1 ranking is so good and the cast and crew all want to do Season 2, so I think we'll hear good news soon. Patience pays off!
