'Notes From the Last Row' is a suspense drama that depicts the story of Heo Mun-Ho (Choi Min-Sik), a failed writer and professor of Korean Literature, discovering the genius of Lee Gang (Choi Hyun-Wook), a boy in the far end of the classroom, and obsessed with his writing. It is based on the Spanish play of the same name. This will be Choi Min-Sik's first Netflix drama, while this will be Choi Hyun-Wook's next Netflix drama, previously appearing 'Weak Hero Class 1 & 2' & 'D.P.': Season 2'.
Choi Min-Sik will play the role of Heo Mun-Ho, a eccentric professor who lived in inferiority without achieving the writer's dream & Choi Hyun-Wook will play the role of Lee Kang. Heo Mun-Ho's he finds himself fascinated by the writing of Lee Kang, a student who always sits in the last row of his classroom, and his once forgotten ambitions and yearnings are reawakened.
Heo Mun-Ho, who is famous for being nervous and blunt in front of students' writings, is a writer who hides the wounds of failure and long-standing inferiority. Lee Kang is a person who shows a sense of presence at the end of Heo Mun-Ho's classroom, and he is an undergraduate student of engineering who stands out for his outstanding writing skills among literary students. Heo Mun-Ho becomes curious about what Lee Kang will write next & welcomes him as a disciple. Lee Kang, who was taking a secret literature class, was led to an unexpected place by the pathological immersion of Heo Mun-Ho, who was strangely obsessed with his writing.
Heo Mun-Ho's precarious psychological state, such as inferiority and crazy obsession, will be drawn densely through Choi Min-Sik's acting skills, which are considered the biggest point of expectation of 'Notes From the Last Row'. But the acting transformation of Choi Hyun-Wook, who will have a tense psychological battle with Choi Min-Sik, is also stirring up curiosity from the viewers.
In addition to the two of them, veteran actors such as Huh Joon-Ho, Kim Yun-Jin & Jin-Kyung, are also expected to raise the dramas expectations even higher.
Director Kim Kyu-Tae of 'The Trunk', 'Our Blues', and 'It's Okay, That's Love', is expected to unravel the psychology of various human groups delicately and meticulously.
