"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.

All the actors did a great job in playing their roles which is commendable...Kudos to them as they did justice to theirs roles.
The show has great action and also has some comedy bits which really made the show interesting...specially the main lead who desperately wants to do well in studies and does everything in his might to do so...the show runs around this plot but trust me when i say this...for someone who loves action/comedy this one is for you.
Or anyone who is looking for something different unlike regular rom-com then you have to definitely try this show you would love it...mark my words.

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 !!!

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.
