A story that will make you laugh to death and melt your heart, the story you deserve.

WATCH THIS IF YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD AFTERWARDS, if you want a story that will have everything we, as viewers, deserve.

The Red Teacher use the comedy of writing smut fanfiction in the 1980s to tell the story of the educator's redemption touching on topics such as lack of sex education and general bad education biased by misogynistic, traditional and harmful stereotypes that hurts true teaching. The transformation of a man that begins as a teacher and ends up as an student thanks to his own female students, finally understanding that there is more to school than discipline.

The relationships between students and the protagonist are represented phenomenally thanks to the performances of the entire cast, although obviously those of Jung So Min and Lee Dong Hwi stand out with undeniable on-screen chemistry and flawless acting, they are so good together I am dying to see them back again, even if they only get together to eat. This story is so complete that it surprises you that it only lasts an hour, it handles the comedy in a masterful way thanks to the talent that Dong Hwi has, he makes you die of laughter in your seat with each scene he is in; Although to say that it is only comedy is to belittle everything else it has to offer since it handles the drama equally well, I even have to admit that I tear up in some parts.

It is a special that in just one hour achieves what others try to do with 16, shows a perfectly written script with complex characters who confront their reality in different ways but always with the same goal of making it better. It's fun and deep with performances that are not far behind and will make you feel refreshed after watching it, like lemonade on a hot day is what we all need.
