Korean schools are known for their strict '학교 규칙' (hakgyo gyuchik). These rules often cover everything from uniform standards, hair length/color, and makeup to phone usage and after-school activities. Breaking rules can lead to '벌점' (beoljeom - demerit points), which can affect academic records. K-dramas often portray students trying to bend or break these rules, highlighting the tension between strict discipline and youthful rebellion.
