Mission School

Ba-Wool is a student at Daemyung High School which is Christian School. Every morning, a hymn resounds throughout the high school. Ba-Wool is a student president, but he is also non-Christian. He is unable to accept the required religious services and classes that all students have to attend. Ba-Wool talks to the principal, but the principal doesn't listen to Ba-Wool. Making things worse, Ba-Wool's only counselor, the school chaplain, is kicked out of the school. Ba-Wool's friends and his parents do not understand Ba-Wool. Finally, Ba-Wool refuses to take religious services and he begins a one person protest, while going on a hunger strike.

Directed by Kang Ui-suk, Mission School leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Lee, Lim Jung-Eun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
