K-Drama Stars Who Slayed Teacher Roles: Kim So Yeon, Seo Ye Ji, More!
School dramas are a recurring theme in South Korean media. It is a fan-favorite concept of avid K-Drama fans as it delivers the right amount of friendship, love, dreams, and life. While many K-Drama junkies fall in love with the main characters' chemistry and their cliques, the teachers in the series don't go unnoticed! Because most K-Drama teachers resemble that in real life, the audiences certainly have a love-hate relationship with them. Here's why!
Go Hyun Jung in 'The Queen's Classroom'
In 2013, Go Hyun Jung transformed into Ma Yeo Jin in "The Queen's Classroom."
Because of her cold aura and strict nature, she is referred to as the "Witch Teacher," which is a common occurrence in real life.
