Operating even beyond the limits of law, this team stops at nothing to restore order within the school.

Character

Na Hwa-jin (Kim Moo-yul)

A former special forces officer and inspector at the Office for the Educational Rights Protection Bureau(ERPB). He resolves school-related issues in his own decisive way. Though blunt and intimidating, he always stands with victims, listens closely, and offers sincere support.

Choi Gang-seok (Lee Sung-min)

The Minister of Education who founded the Office for the ERPB. Facing criticism over its methods, she defends its purpose and speaks firmly about the true meaning of education, while fully supporting the inspectors’ work.

Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo)

A junior inspector and Na Hwa-jin’s former special forces junior. Polite at first glance but unexpectedly bold and unstoppable in action, she relentlessly pursues what he believes is right, with genuine care for victims.

Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon)

A genius administrative officer who graduated from KAIST in two years. Tasked mainly with undercover school missions due to his “nerdy” appearance, he initially treats the job as an assignment—but gradually becomes deeply invested as he witnesses changing realities in schools.
