so like I never got further than like some of the first season (?) of Get Schooled (I stopped reading way before that chapter and it’s subsequent cancellation) but I really did like the kdrama adaptation of it - Teach You a Lesson - and it was interesting seeing how they choose to adapt it into the show format. Obviously spoilers, but they definitely did seem to like speed things up in the way of informing the audience of things that weren’t explicitly mentioned within the first chapters. I think an interesting thing for me might have been how we were immediately informed of both Hwa-jin and Gang-seok had relations to the teacher (Ga-Yun) who died two years prior to the establishment of the bureau and subsequently each other, past the obvious work relation and like this isn’t a major difference and ik it was probably down this way because it’s only 10 episodes but I was just surprised they didn’t reveal it maybe in the second or third episode. But it does make sense in a way with how in the forefront it is in the show. Again like I didn’t continue really any further with the webcomic just because I never got back to it/lost interest but I did really like the direction they took with the show, especially with giving the characters personality and they felt like there was more to them in this than in the comic. I really enjoyed the mix of comedic moments with the action and more serious moments of reflection on the modern education system - specifically Korea’s modern education system - and how there is a major issue with/an epidemic of extreme violence of students and teachers and how it leads to a fostering of an abusive environment for everyone involved. Overall I seriously enjoyed this series and for a webcomic that I had once found interesting it definitely touched upon an interesting way of addressing the violence within the South Korean education system.
