School 1 (1999) Korean Drama

A drama series that deals with realistic issues South Korean teenagers faced in high school in the late 1990’s.

Lee Jae Ha made it as a teacher belatedly. As a homeroom teacher, he takes charge of Division 11-3, with several troublemakers. On his first day, he even takes the wrong attendance book, but he and his students grow as he goes through various incidents with his students. Lee Min Jae is the heroin of Division 11-3 and a person of action. She would post posters on the wall with her friends.

While making a video complaining about teachers, she gets caught by Yang Dong Chul, the dean of students, and receives a big scolding. Her strong sense of responsibility lets her carry a load alone rather than sharing, and she’s enthusiastic at everything and easygoing. She’s interested in Kang Woo Hyuk, a reserved outcast and a repeater. He likes to listen to music, read, and watch movies, but he’s also a bit rebellious, which often causes conflicts between his teachers and him. He had feelings for Cha Hyun Ju, his Korean teacher, but he slowly got drawn to Min Jae, who had much interest in him.
