K-Drama Series ‘Black Dog: Being A Teacher’ Premieres Netflix: Here’s What To Know About

tvN's acclaimed drama series 'Black Dog: Being a Teacher' is set in South Korea. It's a well-made drama in which viewers empathize with the genuine environment, problems, and villains faced by the program's fixed-term teachers.

From December 16, 2019 until February 4, 2020, it aired on tvN on Mondays and Tuesdays. The arrangement between Netflix and CJ ENM, the parent company of tvN, didn't go into force until 2020, which is one of the reasons why the series didn't premiere on Netflix.

It has been confirmed that on Tuesday, April 5th, 2022, all 16 episodes of Black Dog: Being a Teacher will be available to stream on Netflix. Each episode has an estimated run time of 75 minutes.

While dealing with her newfound occupations and the problems and issues that come with it, the trailer gives us a glimpse into KoHa-life neul's and her dreams, aspirations, struggles, happiness, meltdowns, conflicts, and more. The background music adds to the intrigue and allows the viewer to feel the emotions.

The plot follows Ko Ha-neul, who desires to be a teacher because one of her own instructors saved her life when she was in elementary school. She has wanted to teach since she was in high school, to assist the younger generation in figuring things out for themselves. She enrolls at Daechi High School, which is a competitive environment with its own set of problems.
