The Institute for Democracy suggested establishing a teacher-protection agency within the Ministry of Education. The concept is modeled on the Korean Educational Rights Protection Bureau depicted in the drama, which Forbes said "may be one of the best dramas this year."
Premiering on June 5, the limited series quickly became a global sensation. It topped Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English TV ranking after recording 6.4 million views within three days.
The drama has since climbed to No. 1 in 10 countries, including South Korea, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and entered the Top 10 in 48 countries and territories.
The series tells the stories of students being bullied by classmates while teachers' authority remains severely limited. This dynamic leaves educators vulnerable to harassment from students and bullying by overbearing parents.
