First teaser and stills for Queen’s Classroom
by girlfriday
Here’s our first look at Queen’s Classroom, the new Go Hyun-jung drama set to air on Wednesdays and Thursdays on MBC. It’s a remake of the Japanese drama Jyoou no Kyoushitsu and stars Go Hyun-jung as a strict new teacher at an elementary school, who rules her class with an iron fist. Kim Sae-ron (Ajusshi) and Seo Shin-ae (Incarnation of Money) headline the young cast of sixth-graders who will suffer her wrath. But yunno, character-building wrath.
Already her stiff schoolmarm costuming makes me feel stifled and scared, and it says so much about her. You just know Go Hyun-jung is having a grand ol’ time playing up the frightening ice queen, but therein lies the comedy I think, because based on other people’s reactions in the teaser, it’s going to be played for humor as well as drama. I love that as soon as she arrives, the students are declaring that they’ll drop out. Of sixth grade?
The 16-episode drama will be helmed by the PD of Feast of the Gods and penned by a pair of new writers, and tells the story of a teacher who chooses to overcome an irrational society by absolute and unwavering dictatorial rule, and the students who don’t submit to her will, and stand up to oppose her. Why does it sound more like a revolutionary war epic than a drama about the sixth grade? Either school got a lot harder since my day, or this is going to be one hyperbolic drama.
Queen’s Classroom follows When A Man Loves and premieres June 12 on MBC.

She smiles more than the original, who commanded a super cold air about her. Be interested in the reinterpretation. Hope they categorically DON'T add romance to this one--has no place in the storyline.

The only adult male actor I've seen cast was Julien Kang... which would be super weird, but you never know. I also hope there will be no romance.

Such a talented casts, both veteran and child actors. I love grandma Yoon Yeo Jung and little Pa Rang from Star Falling (missing Kim Ji Hoon /tear ).
Lol Go Hyun Jung's serious face reminds me of Nanny McPhee.

Go Hyun Jung has already proven she can be scarier with a smile than most actresses done up in fangs and a ghost wig.

Wow, Korea's been doing a few remakes lately, and I must say I'm enjoy them, especially "Queen Of Office". It's so hilarious, never a dull moment, which is rare in recent drama. Kim Hye Soo was perfect for the role of Ms. Kim, Girl had me rolling, especially when her character clashes with Oh Ji Ho character.
I also love the fact that both drama title have "Queen" in it, being that both women being, stern, assertive and strong women. (Gosh, I love me some strong female leads.) So I will definitely check this out.

THIS so much. They trampled on my memory of Hanadan & Hanakimi, I almost cried when I watched their respective first episode..
Finger crossed the writers won't mess up the storyline. And I guess this one is better cast than other remakes. The child actors are all experienced and can bring out their characters (more than some their adult counterpart in other drama imo).
p/s: Imagining kdrama remake of Rookies & Gokusen makes me shudder. Pls don't let anybody have that idea.

Gokusen is one of my favorites and while nothing would make my day more so than more Gokusen...not a remake by anyone else, I just don't think they could do justice to the tone of the originals.

Is there a Korean law about child labour? Mother that I am the first thought that popped into my mind was how many hours are those little kids gonna work per day, if they are the main attraction of a whole series.

Unfortunately, no. They probably see it as any other type of labour regardless of age. I shudder just thinking about it. I don't wanna see eyebags on those kids towards the end of the drama.
In my opinion, the 2-episode per week system is not doing any good to the welfare of the cast and crew. Most dramas usually start shooting a month before broadcasting with only 1/3 or 1/4 of the scripts done. After a while, it's going to come back and bite them in the ass.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Also I wonder how they will keep up with school. South Korea's schooling system is so grueling and unforgiving how will they make up for the lost time?

This looks a lot "softer" then the Jdorama version, Amami Yuki was really good as Akutsu sensei even her name was scary. Akutsu Maya, Akuma=devil.
In general Amami is one badass woman, she had a heartattack and wanted to go back to work. Luckily she was stopped from doing that.
The child actors are good but again it seems that they are adding a love line to the story by changing one of the teachers I'm guessing Tendou-sensei into a male teacher.

Oh, was the j-dorama original starring Amami Yuki?! I will need to look for it. She is so awesome! Loved her in the Boss series and.she was great in Gold. Can it be found online?
That said, Go Hyun Jung is a great actress too, though I'm sure her vibe will be very different from Amami Yuki.

Yuki Amami is a great actress & really did a brilliant job playing the evil teacher, plus she is really beautiful. Not sure about Go Hyun Jung playing the part...

Can't wait to see this one! A great cast and another chance to see the remarkable Seo Shin Ae, who is one of my favorite actresses, of any age. As someone mentioned above, finally, a drama where ".... the kids get to stay for the whole show." :)

Ack, I see Kim Hyang Gi as one of the students! Well at least I know three of the child actors are my favorites... and then there's Go Hyun Jung. This drama has such an excellent line up!
I haven't watched the original J-dorama, but I've been hearing good things about it... I'm looking forward to the remake.
