South Korean teachers organized a protest against harassment from both parents and students, which has caused some staff to commit suicide. The teachers seek to raise awareness of the issue, which they claim is widespread and causes a high degree of stress and anxiety. The protest follows other calls for action to improve the educational system in South Korea, including the recent resignation of the education minister. The death of a 23-year-old primary school teacher in Seoul sparked a movement among teachers. The teacher was found dead at her school in July in what appeared to be a suicide. She had expressed concern over complaints of abusive parents. Her tragic death led to protests and calls for changes in the education system, including better protection for teachers and policies to address parents' abusive behavior towards teachers. The teachers' movement highlights the challenges and risks faced by educators in South Korea. In this post, we will mention some Korean dramas that touch upon the challenges and problems faced by teachers in Korea. Here are six notable Korean dramas that explore this theme : 1. Master of Study (2009) Also known as "God of Study," this drama is based on a Japanese manga and follows a group of underachieving high school students who enroll in a special program to prepare for the rigorous college entrance exams. The drama highlights the struggles of teachers in dealing with unmotivated students and the pressure-cooker education system. 2. School 2013 (2012) Part of the popular "School" series, this drama explores the complexities of high school life, delving into issues such as academic pressure, bullying, and the struggles of connecting with students from diverse backgrounds. 3. Solomon's Perjury (2016) Based on a Japanese novel, this drama revolves around the mysterious death of a student and the subsequent investigation led by a determined student and a compassionate teacher. It sheds light on the pressures faced by students and the difficulties teachers encounter while trying to maintain a fair and healthy educational environment. 4. Prison Playbook (2017-2018) This drama is set in a prison and revolves around a teacher, although it is not exclusively centered on the teaching profession. It delves into the difficulties encountered by a teacher working in the prison system and highlights the transformative power of education on the lives of inmates. 5. Class of Lies (2019) In this drama, a lawyer goes undercover as a temporary teacher at an elite high school to uncover the truth behind a student's death. The storyline sheds light on the immense academic stress faced by students, the intricate dynamics between teachers and students, and the presence of corruption and injustices within the education system. 6. Crash Course in Romance (2023) Choi Chi Yeol, also known as Ilta Instructor, is a highly respected and successful private education instructor. He is highly popular among students. In this K-drama, the portrayal of less popular teachers brings attention to the challenges they face in their personal and professional lives due to the influence of popularity on their jobs. The storyline explores how popularity can create a disparity between popular and non-popular teachers, shedding light on the impact it has on the teaching profession. These dramas offer insights into the problems faced by teachers in Korea, including the intense academic competition, student pressures, and the need to maintain a fair educational environment.

If you're seeking a tranquil escape by the sea in the heart of Pohang , South Korea, Lahan Hotel may just be the preferred choice. Nestled along the coast with stunning ocean views, this hotel offers a delightful blend of comfort and convenience! During my recent stay, I had the opportunity to experience the pros and cons of this establishment! Take a look! The Pros 1. Breathtaking Ocean Views! One of the standout features of Lahan Hotel is undoubtedly its location. Situated right on the coast, the hotel boasts panoramic views of the ocean. Waking up to the sight and sound of the waves crashing against the shore is an experience to remember! If you're fortunate enough to book a room with an ocean view, you're in for a treat. 2. Central Location Lahan Hotel's location in the heart of Pohang is a significant advantage. It's within walking distance of the downtown area, allowing easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Whether you're a leisure traveler or on a business trip, the hotel's central position is a definite plus. 3. Delicious Breakfast Buffet! The breakfast buffet at Lahan Hotel offers a variety of options to suit different tastes. I highly recommend trying the broccoli soup—it's a delightful and unexpected choice! The attentive staff ensures that your dining experience is pleasant and convenient. 4. Attentive Staff The hotel staff is genuinely committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible. They are polite, helpful, and quick to respond to any inquiries or requests. Their professionalism adds to the overall positive impression of the hotel! The Cons 1. Soundproofing Needs Improvement One notable downside during my stay was the soundproofing within the hotel rooms. Noise from neighboring rooms could be heard quite clearly. This may be a concern for light sleepers or those seeking a quieter stay and privacy. 2. Lack of Health Club For guests who prioritize fitness, the absence of a health club or fitness center may be disappointing. A well-equipped gym or exercise facility would have been a valuable addition to the hotel's amenities. In conclusion, Lahan Hotel in Pohang, South Korea, offers a delightful coastal retreat with breathtaking ocean views, a central location, a delicious breakfast buffet, and attentive staff! It's an excellent choice for those looking to explore Pohang's downtown area while enjoying the serenity of the sea. However, improvements in soundproofing and the addition of fitness facilities would elevate the overall guest experience! If you can overlook these minor drawbacks, Lahan Hotel is a solid option for your stay in Pohang. Let us know if you would like to learn more about staying in Korea!

The hottest drama this fall, Behind Your Touch , hits a snag with Korean viewers despite having the highest viewership ratings! We break down what they said and why we agree! *Spoilers! Riding high since our last review of this much-talked-about series, the most popular JTBC show Behind Your Touch finished its 16-episode run on October 1, 2023, with a 9.299% viewership rating. Good for first place nationwide! It turns out that some of the characters that we suspected to be the serial killer of the small country town of Mujin, were killed off! In fact, most of the people that we suspected were literally pushed to the side for the grand finale! With the help of EXO's Suho 's character, Kim Seon Woo, Detective Moon Jang Yeol ( Lee Min Ki ) and his assistant butt-touching veterinarian psychic, Bong Ye Bun ( Han Ji Min ), were able to catch the serial killer, finally! After a never-ending merry-go-round of cat and mouse throughout the last episodes, the Mujin Police Department was able to catch this serial killer with the help of a convenience store clerk! Wow, we can't believe how incompetent these cops really are! And the killer is...drum roll, please! After numerous episodes of the cops suspecting the whole town to be the culprit we finally have a winner! And the serial killer is the shaman! Park Jong Bae, the town shaman has been secretly hiding his superpower, he can literally look into peoples' eyes and look into their past! Kim Seon Woo records a confession of Park Jong Bae right before he is killed and finally, the police arrest him! Of course, things don't go as planned as he is released and finally caught again after trying to sneak off to China on a fishing boat. Why all the fuss? After a very anti-climatic finale, we along with Korean viewers would have to agree why Behind Your Touch didn't meet expectations. Here's what Korean viewers said: Cafe user 1: "I thought it was a pretty drama, but the end was a jumbled mess..." Cafe user 2: "It's so difficult to watch a drama that's organized and probable until the end..." Cafe user 1: "I feel like I'm in the palace of Alhambra????" ( Memories of the Alhambra 2018) Cafe user 3: "I just turned it on, should I watch it?" Cafe user 4: "I don't want to let you down..." Cafe user 3: "I wasted my time and effort watching this drama. I want to sue them" So what did you think about the ending? Did you also feel that you were let down?
