Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook to Star in Notes From The Last Row, Releasing June 26 on Netflix

Netflix psychological suspense ‘Notes From The Last Row’ will be released on June 26, 2026. Heo Mun Oh, a professor of Korean literature, reads the writing of Lee Kang, an engineering student sitting at the back of the classroom, and faces his long-dormant desires once again.

The verifiable original work is a Spanish play of the same name. Netflix's official materials also present the fact that the work is based on a play, while rumors regarding a webtoon origin or a canceled US version have not been confirmed by official sources.

Choi Min-sik as Professor Heo Mun Oh, Choi Hyun-wook as Engineering Student Lee Kang

Heo Mun Oh, played by Choi Min-sik, is a failed writer and a professor. While he appears as an evaluator in front of his students, he reveals the deficiency of someone who could not write more when faced with Lee Kang's writing. The setting creates a collision between the professor's authority and the reader's impatience within a single character.

Choi Hyun-wook's Lee Kang is introduced as an engineering undergraduate who possesses remarkable writing skills even among literature students. In the official teaser, Lee Kang does not easily reveal his inner thoughts even during intimate classroom scenes. Because of that silence, the relationship where Heo Mun Oh waits for Lee Kang's next sentence continues with increasing tension.

1-Minute 7-Second Teaser: A Teacher-Student Relationship Born from “Talent”

The teaser released on the official Netflix page is 1 minute 7 seconds long. It begins with the sight of Heo Mun Oh unable to write in front of his laptop. He meets a student from the back of the classroom, and soon, the word “talent” becomes the starting point of the relationship between the two.

In the latter half of the teaser, Heo Mun Oh asks about the truth of Lee Kang's writing. At this moment, the writing is not just a simple assignment but a clue that shakes the relationship between the two. Depending on whether Lee Kang's writing is an imagination or a confession, and whether Heo Mun Oh reads it as literature or as a trace of reality, the story moves in different directions.

Huh Joon-ho Joins as Successful Writer Kim Su-hun

Kim Su-hun, played by Huh Joon-ho, is set as a successful writer who left Heo Mun Oh with a sense of defeat. Kim Su-hun's existence ensures that the reason Heo Mun Oh is drawn to Lee Kang's writing does not remain merely a matter of personal curiosity. This is because the long-standing deficiency of Heo Mun Oh, once a failed writer, enters the current classroom setting.

‘Notes From The Last Row’ is a work that pursues the anxiety of reading and writing rather than flashy events. In the work releasing on June 26, the process of Heo Mun Oh stopping in front of Lee Kang's sentences, attempting to read more, and ultimately crossing the line is revealed through the faces of Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook.
