Definitely the best k-drama for me yet in 2025. I didnt read the webtoon beforehand so i dont know what changes have been made in the drama but what i've seen from the drama it's already so catchy and mindblowing. I definitely have to admire the storyline and the way plots have been arranged one after another. The actions and comedies have been perfectly balanced that keeps you hooked up for more. I loved all the characters and how the actors played those roles. But yeah the main character Yun Ga Min will definitely be your favorite one. But i gotta add this too if you're not into k-dramas or dont like this kind of school life genres, it might disappoint you a bit. Also this is fully an action-comedy drama with bits of mystery, which focuses entirely on friendship, personal growth and the bonding that forms through a mere study group. It's hard to finish if i talk about this drama. Not going to give any spoiler but i'm just gonna say if you still haven't watched this you're missing out a lot trust me! Maybe give it a try if you want something refreshing to watch or maybe diverse your attention towards something different. Thank you!
"Chaotic, cathartic, and a brutal critique-juxtaposing violent survival with the pressures of the education system."
Study Group isn't just another action-packed school drama-it's a sharp dissection of an education system that feels more like a battlefield. Through a metaphorical lens, it captures the brutal reality of Korea's cutthroat academic culture, where hierarchy and privilege dictate success. In a world where intelligence alone isn't enough, Yoon Ga-Min's desperate attempt to form a simple study group feels almost absurd-but that absurdity is exactly what makes the story so compelling.
Violence here isn't just for spectacle; it's an allegory for academic survival, where only the strongest endure. With breakneck action, dark humor, and Gen Z irreverence reminiscent of Bottoms (2023), Study Group doesn't just entertain-it fights its way to becoming this generation's Fight Club.

Study Group exceeded all my expectations. I thought it would be just another drama filled with fights and bullying, but I was completely wrong. Every moment was packed with humor and entertainment and I found myself thoroughly enjoying it. The action scenes went beyond anything I could have imagined-they were incredible!
The cast did an amazing job, and every actor stood out with their performance. Yoon Gamin, played by Hwang Minhyun, was especially captivating. He embodied the character perfectly-funny, silly, goofy, and undeniably hot during the fight scenes. I loved the anime-like vibe of the show, and the fact that Hwang Minhyun performed all the action sequences himself, including the fire and nunchaku scenes, blew me away. His dedication is truly impressive.
I've seen some comments about the action scenes being forced or unrealistic, and I can't agree. First of all, it's based on a webtoon. Secondly, the plot is absolutely fantastic. And finally, the cast is top-tier. If you haven't watched it yet, give it a shot-you'll love it!

This action drama is no less exciting, it's still ongoing but it has made Korean drama lovers excited to watch it, it really matches the anime, they were really smart in choosing the right cast. I really want all the episodes of this drama to be released because it's so exciting. Here we also get motivation that studying is very important and no matter what happens, studying must still be prioritized. This drama is really cool, there are many lessons we can take from this drama. The challenges we face when we want to start properly, when we are committed. And mixed feelings are in this drama. About friendship, family, school, university, everything is covered here, there are all motivations and lessons in this drama. Anyway, it's a must watch, it's really fun.
Okay, So i have watched alot of korean series but this one feels unreal and new mesmerizing and very realistic and also we can feel the emotions, the story behind every thing. A perfect series to watch, the story plot, the crazyness, the fear, realistic feel, the bgm, the rap, the characters, overall cinematography, the casting, absolute banger on top of the beauty of direction all and all a perfect absolute banger perfect series. We can learn a lot from this series the Main Lead does gives a lot of tips and tricks and the physcology behind his obsession with study is crazy he gives a lot of motivation time to time. Absolute banger perfect series. Worth every penny to be honest. A 10/10.
