On the 12th, the 8th episode of tvN's 'After School Teacher Taeri' aired, showcasing the after-school drama club's final preparations for their upcoming performance. Kim Tae-ri, Choi Hyun-wook, Kangnam, and Code Kunst witnessed the growth and pure sincerity of the drama club students.
In the ninth class, a run-through of the play 'The Wizard of Oz' took place, featuring costumes and music composed by music director Code Kunst. Before the official start, Kim Tae-ri, Choi Hyun-wook, and Kangnam practiced with the students, offering tailored advice. Kangnam, in particular, noticed discomfort in Hyomin, who played the Scarecrow, and showed a delicate side by easing her concerns.
The teachers spent quality one-on-one time with the students on their way home. Choi Hyun-wook, an actor from Kim Soo-hyun's agency Gold Medalist, boosted shy Hayoon's confidence by engaging in baseball, her favorite sport, encouraging her to speak up. Kangnam shared a friendly chemistry with Wonjin, spending time like peers.
Kim Tae-ri, on a chicken shop date with Hyomin, was delighted to hear about Hyomin's newfound dream of becoming an actor through the drama club. She reassured the worried student about making mistakes in the play, showing trust. Kim Tae-ri's gesture of offering snacks and a hand heart was reciprocated by Hyomin, who shyly returned the gesture, warming hearts.
On the day of the stage rehearsal, Code Kunst, who had been away for music work, returned earlier than expected, bringing joy. He revealed a cute ending song featuring the voices of the teachers and students, receiving praise from the teachers.
The teachers, excited and nervous about the play's realization on stage, rehearsed their roles, setting times, and movements before the students arrived. When the students took the stage, Code Kunst filmed the performance, empathizing with the parents' feelings and admiring the students' transformation into budding actors, showing his affection.
