I've had students who were fans of the series, but I personally wouldn't show it in class.

It is strongly implied that a woman gave a man a BJ in the first episode, plus drug use by Sherlock himself, murder.

Not that I have a problem with any of those things myself, or think they're something a ~14 year old couldn't handle (I watched Pulp Fiction when I was 13) just kinda inappropriate for a teacher to show their students, especially in Korea, IMO.

I did a Sherlock camp over the Summer.

I used the YBM series Sherlock book and used 1 story out of the book, we read it over 5 days, and we watched 2 episodes of the Sherlock series using heyheyfriends.com so it was subtitled in Korean. We had supplementary activities to go with it, all summed up in a workbook that I created.

It is entirely possible to use Sherlock, just don't expect the 'fan-girl/boy' aspect that many westerners might give. It's something different for many students, although some are starting to get into it. And don't be surprised if they start singing the K-pop song Sherlock when they first hear the topic.

My middle school girls DEFINITELY fan girl over Sherlock.

I come into my class and they either ask me if I know Benedict Cumberbatch personally or they've written his name all over the board with love hearts haha

I'm definitely considering doing a Sherlock themed winter camp.

Or maybe a Mystery theme with some Sherlock.
