Study Group

"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 Season 1 succeeds in balancing action, emotional depth, and storytelling. Its compelling characters, thrilling fight sequences, and meaningful themes make it a standout in the K-drama world. By offering a fresh take on the high school genre, the show keeps viewers invested from start to finish.

The season finale leaves room for potential future developments, making fans eager for a second season. Whether viewers are drawn in by the action, the emotional storytelling, or the relatable struggles of the characters, Study Group delivers a memorable and powerful experience. Season 1 proves that a drama can be both entertaining and thought-provoking, solidifying its place as one of the best K-dramas of the year.

The main character, Yoon Ga Min is such a heartening character. It was simply a treat watching him. Loved him. My Favourite drama character ever !!!

An amazing and well rounded drama with an awesome cast. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Its right up there with series like Moving, Move to Heaven, D. P, Bloodhounds.

Each and every character and actor was so well written and well casted. Loved all of them.

I started it because had nothing to watch. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical. But I am so glad I did. It's so refreshing with no toxic characters.

Do not miss it ! Its worth the time ! Happy watching !!!

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!

With only two episodes out, Study Group is already feeling like drama of the year. Based on the popular webtoon, it tells the story of Gamin, a hilariously clueless high schooler with a secret talent for fighting. Despite his fighting skills, his ultimate dream is to excel in his studies. But when he transfers to a school full of delinquents and fighters, his plans for a peaceful study group spiral into chaos.

The action sequences are awesome, stylish, energetic, and incredibly fun to watch. They're elevated by an amazing soundtrack that perfectly complements the intensity. The balance between thrilling action and comedic moments is just so good.

The drama is super fast paced, so you won't feel bored for even a minute. The comedic action is easily the highlight of the first two episodes. Along with the teacher's character which I found very interesting and wonder how her character will develop in future episodes. Overall highly recommend this series if you're looking to have a gripping and funny, action packed high school drama to watch.
