Front Range Palace is a Brazorian-Korean melodrama based around the dominance of post-Yellowrose Brazoria's education system by special interest groups from the Colorado province during the early 2000s. It centers around students attending a fictional private, charter school set in Colorado. The series stars Ailee, WondaGurl, Bethany Kang, Josephine Bauer and Sofía Vergara.
Plot
A satyrical look into the rise of non-public schooling since the Pecan Revolution, the focus is on upper class parents in Colorado province, and their influence on the rest of the country. The drama revolves around working women who live in a residential district and shooting range in Broomfield known as the Front Range Palace.
Janice Kwon (Ailee) is married to Karl Goebbels (Steven Furtick), who is a charismatic speaker and ambitious pastor, who wants their eldest son to take over his ministry, First Baptist Church Broomfield.
Alice Chang (Bethany Kang) is married to her highschool sweetheart Robert Johnson (Justin Bieber), who also aspires to be a pastor. They have no children until Season 5.
Dianna Lewis (Josephine Bauer) is married to Charles Brandon (Chad Veach), in which they own a curriculum publication called Apostolic Publications, the school's main curriculum. Their children love to attend and excell in the school.
Nigella Carrey (WonaGurl) is the wife of Jake Keller (Juan Peña), who owns an orphanage in Pueblo. Nigella has grave concern over how Jake handles his organization.
Martha Navarro (Sophía Vergara) and her husband Peter Jung (Randall Park) manage security at the school, which was involved in a mass shooting in Season 2. They helped teachers secure fire arms licenses, bullet proof vests and security cameras.
They are juxtaposed by the teachers' union United Teachers Colorado, which is headed by Jezebel Haeger (Mary Guttiérrez). She and her squad do everything in their power to prevent their neighbors from influencing their district. Even going as far as bribing county officials.
