According to Netflix,

The action-packed new K-drama Teach You a Lesson feels in many ways like a classic superhero tale: the villains — in this case, school bullies — are wreaking havoc among their victims, students and teachers alike. But there’s no need to call in fantastical beings; the powerful force ready to defeat these villains is the Teachers’ Rights Protection Bureau, a fictional government agency created to protect victims and restore order in various schools whenever students, teachers, or parents cross the line.

In the new official trailer above, we meet the Bureau’s fearsome team: Na Hwa-jin (Kim Moo-yul) and Choi Gang-seok (Lee Sung-min) — with both actors reuniting with director Hong after their work on Juvenile Justice — along with Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo) and Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon). We also learn that these highly-trained officials are using, let’s say, unconventional tactics to stamp out bullying for good. In short? They’re not afraid to fight back. Seriously.

• Release date: June 22nd, 2026 (Monday-Tuesday)
• Network: tvN (depending on your region, you can watch it on Prime Video)
• Episodes: 12
• Main cast: Seo In-guk, Park Ji-hyun, and Kang Mi-na
• Where have I seen these people before? This is the second rom-com in a row for Seo In-guk after Netflix’s Boyfriend on Demand earlier this year. Meanwhile, See You at Work Tomorrow! marks a huge change in tone for Park Ji-hyun, whose most recent projects have been darker stories such as Netflix’s You and Everything Else. The same applies to Kang Mi-na, who has just starred in Netflix’s If Wishes Could Kill.
• Writer: Kim Kyung-min
• Director: Jo Eun-sol
• Adapted from McQueen Studio’s webtoon of the same name

The official synopsis describes the story as:

Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun), a seventh-year product planner who has sworn off dating after a painful breakup. Burned out from corporate life, she lives for efficiency, deadlines, and one small joy: fried chicken and beer after the perfect on-the-dot clock out. Calm, polite, and unflappable on the surface, her heart has long been closed—until Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk), the company’s most avoided team leader, enters her life.

See You at Work Tomorrow! tells the story of people who, despite being worn down by others and heartbroken—even when thunder roars and a heavy rainstorm brews—still faithfully clock in the next morning. Based on the hit Kakao Webtoon, the series blends witty workplace satire with irresistible romantic tension, capturing the heart, humor, and heat of modern workplace romance.
