Study Group

Should Be Called Fight Club, Not Study Group!

Study Group is an adrenaline-packed drama that grabs you from the start! Despite its title, there’s hardly any studying involved—it’s all about the fights, and honestly, they’re incredible. The action scenes are thrilling and choreographed to perfection, delivering non-stop excitement that rivals top-tier action movies.

Hwang Min Hyun, playing the male lead (ML), delivers a strong performance. With his glasses and unassuming appearance, he initially gives off Peter Parker vibes—except instead of a spider bite, he’s somehow a Roman Reigns-level fighter! His punches send people flying like balloons, making you wonder if they went a little overboard with the wirework. Still, if you embrace the over-the-top action, it’s part of the show’s charm.

One of the most surprising aspects is the undeniable chemistry between the ML and the female teacher. Their connection feels way stronger than a typical teacher-student bond, but it adds an intriguing emotional layer to the storyline.

If you’re looking for jaw-dropping fights, engaging character dynamics, and a plot that keeps you hooked, Study Group is a must-watch. Just be prepared—it feels more like Fight Club than a study session, and that’s exactly what makes it so fun!

Study Group fights Injustice in Highschool !

Seo Yul teleported to modern era highschool and he's kicking butts here as well!
The ACTORS, DIALOGUES, SCRIPT, FIGHT SCENES!! EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!
Honestly, there is nothing bad about it! Great Intro/OST and handsome face villain and hero! What more do you need?!
Of course Study Group was about everything BUT studying lol and who cares!
Ga-min and his gang of misfits were perfect for this school of thugs! All of them did a great job!

This kdrama has everything- from suspense, thriller to action, comedy and cute moments as well. Ga-min having just one thought throughout the drama and that was to create the best Study Group ever, and with that cute face of his, he really won my heart!
Our handsome villain with his soft voice, had me thinking maybe he wasn’t so bad. I watched some spoiler reels, and ended up thinking he wasn’t the guy who murdered that teacher. Until the very end, I was hoping for his bad guy character break but oh boy I was so wrong!
The villain and his dad need a good bashing! I'm glad he was expelled! Ha
The same guy is a cutie in Melo kmovie and I had a hard time believing he was the same guy lol.
All in all love this drama!

Rewatch value: 100/100 !

K Drama at it's Violently Comedic Best

Coming from Australia and not being Korean I have been amazed at the amount of excellent k drama writing, directing and acting talent taking the world by storm. 'Study Group' is my new 'Squid Game', the high school version.

It begins with the hilarious script, with comedy parts no doubt penned by Oh Bo Hyun, from 'Island' and the hilarious 'Behind Your Touch'. How she came into partnership with this quite brutally bullying gangster action drama was a stroke of someone's genius. Without her this would be a tough watch as it is very physically and emotionally brutal.

This leads me to Wanna One and Nu'est god (haha) Hwang Min Hyun. He's racked up quite a few great roles and awards and rightly so. His comedic timing and screen dead pan face is a killer, literally lol. There are many scenes where his inner monologue is screaming, but with dead pan eyes, then BOOM out it comes. I can only guess this would have been tiring for him to film on many levels, but I'm hoping he gets award kudos for this role (after he finishes his military service I guess, excuse my ignorance here).

I could go on about all of the actors as there are some heavy hitters in this great cast but I'm not really a review type of person, however, I do want to mention Ju Yeon Woo, I may have had some tears at the end of ep. 8, his story arch comes pretty fast with a big wallop at the end, cheers to him! I'm also guessing Shin Su-hyun had a great time being a heavy hitter (pun intended) in this drama, she was excellent.

The OST kicks off (pun intended again) with Zerobaseone's Seok Matthew and Park Gunwook's 'Backpacker', awesome track. The killer tho is Bang Yedam's 'Hollo', especially at the end of ep. 8. Can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks.

The violence is horrendous so be warned and I can see why it's not so popular for many viewers, but I can also see why it's currently ranking no.1 in many places. If you can hang in there, there are meanings in there in regards to academia, survival and doing what's right.

MELHOR ADAPTAÇÃO DE MANHWA JÁ FEITA

Eu tô extasiada depois de ter acompanhado study group em lançamento. Confesso que inicialmente eu não dava nada por ele, eu só ia dar play por causa do ator. Mas do primeiro ao último episódio essa história me surpreendeu e me prendeu demais.

Tudo é perfeito do início ao fim. Cenas de luta intensas e sensacionais, conseguiram fazer eu me sentir dentro de um manhwa que eu nunca li. A trilha sonora perfeita, as osts são incríveis e a abertura é daquelas que é impossível de pular.

Em 10 episódios eu pude acompanhar o desenvolvimento dos personagens, me emocionar, sorrir e sentir tudo na mesma intensidade que eles. Eu tava sentindo tanto a falta de um dorama com o squad, e study group com certeza supriu essa falta.

POTENCIALMENTE UM DOS MELHORES DESSE ANO E ENTROU PRO MEU TOP FAVORITOS!!!
