True Lessons (previously known as Get Schooler) revolves around the fictional Teacher's Rights Protection Agency, a government organization established to reclaim teacher authority.


In this series, Jin Ki Joo takes on the role of Im Han Lim, a former Special Forces soldier turned inspector of the agency. This new character will showcase a fresh facet of her acting abilities. As per the caption of the script-reading post, shared by Netflix Korea, the characters of the series aim to "awaken the true meaning of education." The Teacher's Rights Protection Agency's goal is to "protect our collapsed schools from students, teachers and parents who cross the line." Kim Moo Yeol, the male lead, will star as Na Hwa Jin, another justice-oriented inspector of the agency.
