Netflix Unveils Psychological K-Drama “Notes from the Last Row” with Star-Studded Cast – kdramadiary

Netflix is bringing a fresh wave of suspense with its newly announced Korean series, Notes from the Last Row, featuring a powerhouse ensemble: Choi Min Sik, Choi Hyun Wook, Huh Joon Ho, Kim Yun Jin, and Jin Kyung.

Inspired by the acclaimed Spanish play El Chico de la última fila, the series explores creativity, obsession, and mentorship in the most unexpected ways.

At its heart is Heo Mun-oh (Choi Min Sik), a cranky literature professor and washed-up writer who’s lost touch with inspiration—until he discovers Lee Kang (Choi Hyun Wook), a brilliant yet enigmatic student always seated in the back row. Intrigued by Lee Kang’s writing, Mun-oh offers him private classes, sparking a chain of events that blur the lines between mentorship and manipulation.

As Mun-oh rediscovers his own passion, buried tensions and long-held regrets begin to surface. Heo Joon Ho plays Kim Su-hun, Mun-oh’s successful and self-satisfied writer friend who serves as a painful reminder of what Mun-oh never achieved. Su-hun’s wife, portrayed by Kim Yun Jin, and Mun-oh’s psychologist wife, played by Jin Kyung, add layers to the emotional stakes.

Directed by Kim Gyu-tae (Our Blues, The Trunk) and written by Jang Myung-woo (My Mother, the Mermaid), the series promises a gripping blend of psychological drama and literary intrigue. With production by Kakao Entertainment and Gtist, this Netflix original is poised to deliver a compelling story of ambition, jealousy, and rediscovery.
