Notes from the Last Row: Plot and character details
The series will feature Choi Hyun Wook as Lee Kang, a mysterious student of the Korean literature department with exceptional writing skills. The drama, based on a popular Spanish play, El Chico de la última fila, revolves around Lee Kang's complex relationship with Heo Mun Oh (played by Exhuma's Choi Min Shik). The character is a bitter literature professor and a failed writer, who gets drawn to the talent of Lee Kang.
Backbencher Lee Kang will receive encouragement to excel in writing from the professor, leading to growth and healing of both. Heo Mun Oh's bitterness might stem from his shattered literary dreams and from the success of his writer friend, Kim Su Hun (played by Heo Joon Ho). Among the notable supporting cast, we have Ahn Eun Joo playing Kim Su Hun's wife and Jo Hyeon Suk stars as Heo Mun Oh's wife.
Notes from the Last Row release
The drama reportedly went on floors in April this year and is eyeing a 2026 release. With veteran actors and rising stars like Choi Hyun Wook coming together, anticipation for the series is high.

Olympo ending explained and Season 2 theories explored: What's next for the Netflix's Spanish sports drama?
Netflix's Spanish sports thriller Olympo ends its first season with a chilling and unforgettable finale, leaving fans stunned and full of questions. Set in an elite Olympic training facility, the series exposes the dark truths behind ambition, performance enhancement, and personal sacrifice. As the last episode fades out with Amaia collapsing in the pool and Zoe walking away with damning evidence, it's clear the story is just beginning. Here's a breakdown of the ending, what it really means, and what fans might expect in Olympo Season 2. What is Olympo about? Olympo is a sharp critique of power, exploitation, and the pressure to succeed at any cost. Set in a fictional high-performance centre for Olympic hopefuls, the series follows athletes who are unknowingly used as test subjects for a powerful doping program masked as elite training. Blending sports drama with psychological tension, Olympo dives into personal trauma, institutional abuse, and moral ambiguity — all wrapped in the shiny packaging of Olympic dreams. With its stylish visuals and unflinching storytelling, the show has positioned itself as one of Netflix's most gripping sports thrillers. Olympo ending explained: Amaia's collapse and Zoe's escape The final episode of Season 1 centres around Amaia (Clara Galle), the artistic swimmer who's been under constant pressure from her mother, the institution, and her own desire to succeed. After uncovering the doping conspiracy within the Olympo training program, she initially resists. But when her efforts to alert the anti-doping agency fail and tests come back clean, Amaia gives in and takes the drug herself. Her flawless performance at the Olympic trials is a victory tainted by moral compromise. Moments later, she collapses in the pool, symbolising everything she's sacrificed. In contrast, Zoe (Nira Osahia) makes a different choice. After escaping the facility, she steals a vial of the experimental drug and hands it to the authorities. Her quiet defiance positions her as a major threat to Olympo's future and the face of resistance going into Season 2. Will there be a season 2 of Olympo? While fans are already forming theories, it's important to remember that Netflix hasn't greenlit a second season yet. However, the many twists and turns in Season 1 — including Amaia's collapse, Zoe's bold move, and the unresolved fate of Olympo's secrets — strongly hint that the story was designed with a continuation in mind. The series's strong reception and growing online buzz could influence Netflix's renewal decision in the coming months. Olympo Season 2 theories: Who exposes Olympo? Will Amaia return? With the finale raising more questions than it answers, fans are already speculating about what could happen next: Olympo faces exposure: With Zoe's drug sample in the hands of the anti-doping agency, the investigation may finally begin. But will it be enough to take down a brand as powerful as Olympo? Amaia's fate: Amaia's collapse could lead to serious health complications or a deeper spiral into the world she once tried to escape. Some fans think she may turn against Olympo after realising the cost. Athlete rebellion: With Cristian, Roque, and possibly others growing more aware of the system's corruption, a collective pushback could be coming. More secrets: If the drugs were only the surface-level scandal, Season 2 might dig into how far the control and cover-ups really go — including media manipulation, threats, or even political ties. Will Fatima and Charly end up together? One of the fan-favourite dynamics is between Fatima and Charly, who shared a subtle but emotionally grounded connection. Fatima's calm, introspective nature balances Charly's impulsive intensity. As both characters are caught in their own battles within the system, their bond might deepen in Season 2, especially if they stand on the same side of the coming conflict. However, some fans believe the chaos ahead could pull them apart. Will they support each other through the fallout, or will their personal goals and loyalties get in the way? Either way, their relationship is likely to become more central next season.
