Adolescence Medley (Hangul: 사춘기 메들리; RR: Sachungi Medeulli) is a 2013 South Korean television miniseries starring Kwak Dong-yeon, Lee Se-young, Kwak Jung-wook, Choi Tae-joon, Park Jung-min, Bae Noo-ri and Yoon Park. A coming-of-age teen drama about students at a village high school, it was adapted from the webtoon of the same title written by Kwak In-geun, which was published on Daum WebToon from November 9, 2011 to February 29, 2012. It aired as part of the Drama Special Series anthology on KBS2 from July 10 to July 31, 2013 on Sundays at 23:10 for four episodes.
Choi Jung-woo (Kwak Dong-yeon) is the new student at Namil High School. After transferring schools for 7 times because of his father's job, Jung-woo has learned to live like an "invisible man" and is determined not to make friends. But Yang Ah-young (Lee Se-young), the smart and seemingly aloof class president, is actually full of empathy, so she nags him into doing lots of school chores, which annoys Jung-woo. Meanwhile, his shy seatmate Im Deok-won (Kwak Jung-wook) is being bullied by the seniors. At first, Jung-woo doesn't want to get involved, but he ends up yelling and throwing a bag of snacks at the bullies, that unfortunately lands on someone else walking along the corridor. This happens to be the school legend "Brown Bear," Lee Yeok-ho (Choi Tae-joon). The Brown Bear won't let his slight go easily and challenges Jung-woo to a one-on-one fight.
