Netflix Unveils K-Drama ‘Notes from the Last Row’ Starring Choi Min-sik, Choi Hyun-wook & Huh Joon-ho
DeadlineThursday, May 29, 2025 at 12:00:00 AM
Netflix is adding another buzzy K-drama to its lineup with Notes from the Last Row, a star-studded adaptation of the Spanish play El Chico de la última fila. The story centers on a cranky, washed-up literature professor (played by veteran actor Choi Min-sik) who becomes obsessed with a talented student. With a powerhouse cast—including Kim Yun-jin (Lost) and rising star Choi Hyun-wook—this one’s shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of character-driven dramas with a literary twist.
Editor’s Note: K-dramas continue to dominate global streaming, and Netflix is doubling down with high-profile projects like this. The combo of a proven source material (that Spanish play was adapted into a 2011 French film, The Kid with a Bike) and A-list Korean talent makes this a strong contender—especially for viewers who love stories about messy mentors, creative ambition, and maybe a little moral ambiguity. Plus, Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) playing a grumpy professor? Sold.
