According to a report by Korean media outlet YTN, Studio Dragon is partnering with Sung Yong-il, director of the 2019 school thriller Class of Lies, for the drama adaptation of Duty After School, a popular manhwa (Korean comic) written by Ha. Il-kwon which was serialized on Naver Webtoon in 2012. Screenwriter Lee Nam-kyu, who wrote the script for the 2019 melodrama The Light in Your Eyes, has also joined the production.
Duty After School is a sci-fi suspense story that follows the seemingly inevitable apocalypse of the world when mysterious purple orbs appear from the sky and create chaos everywhere. To help combat these dangerous orbs, students are recruited from across the country to help the military defend the country. As more and more people die from their encounter with enemies, the students are forced to bend over backwards to survive.
Comic book writer Ha Il-kwon is loved for his great storytelling, as seen in many of his works. In 2008, he won the Rookie of the Year award at the Korea Comics Awards for his debut work "Sambong Barber Shop," which was published during the same year. His other works include "God of Bath" (2011) and "Annarasumanara" (2010), which is now in production to be the Netflix original series The Sound of Magic.
Duty After School, aka After School War Activities, is looking for its cast. Although an exact premiere date has not been set yet, the drama is aiming to air next year.
