High School Return of a Gangster (Season 1)

High School Return of a Gangster (조폭인 내가 고등학생이 되었습니다, 2024) is a South Korean fantasy drama you can watch online on iFILM. Kim Deok-pal is a 47-year-old career criminal — the second-in-command of his crew, no diploma, and a long-buried dream of going to university someday. When he accidentally takes over the body of an 18-year-old boy who jumped off a roof to escape relentless bullying, he ends up enrolled in high school with a gangster's instincts and a teenager's face.

Yoon Chan-young plays the body that now houses an old mob enforcer with zero tolerance for power games and absolutely no idea how teenagers communicate. The model student next to him, Choi Se-gyun, looks like he has everything figured out — until it becomes clear his home life is quietly brutal. Director Lee Seong-taek keeps the tone balanced: the comedy is sharp without trivializing the bullying storyline, and the friendship between two people who have no reason to trust anyone lands with some genuine weight.
