Life is pretty stressful for high-school senior students, who are getting ready to pass their final exams… and it is about to get much worse! When an alien menace starts raining down from the sky and attacks, military forces seem helpless. All of a sudden, every high-schooler in Korea is enrolled by the army to join the first war against extraterrestrial forces.

Our take

With the world’s attention drawn to Korean cinema and television, global audiences have become familiar with k-dramas’ trademark tonal shifts and genre-bending stories. Mixing teen drama, sci-fi and military imagery proves a winning recipe for Duty After School, adapted from the popular eponymous webtoon. The series relies on a raft of new talent in front of and behind the camera, to a thrilling, funny, and surprisingly critical result.
