The fantasy storyline sets it apart from other k-dramas

While most jellies are harmless, some may drive students to harm and evil. Ultimately a story about goodwill and kindness and just trying to understand each other better, The School Nurse Files is a refreshing take on a modern K-drama.

Nam Joo Hyuk plays a charming and shy hero
Most of you remember him from his hit drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo—Nam Joo Hyuk returns with a curious and quiet character that is just as charming. Hong In-Pyo is a Chinese character teacher with an extraordinary aura and energy field around him that protects him from the jellies. With his introverted and reserved personality, he plays a different kind of hero as he solves these mysterious cases in the shadows alongside the school nurse.
