Similar aspects:
- main character who is good at fighting but tries to hide it and study instead
- female teacher who is teaching at a new school and is learning how to deal with her difficult students
- school that is infamous for a bunch of troublemakers going to it
- horrible bullies who specifically target their homeroom teacher
- the teacher visiting one of the bullies homes because she’s concerned about him even though he’s only been a jerk to her
- no romance
School 2013 is more melodramatic while Study Group leans more into comedic and silly things, but I think they’re both great stories. As I was watching Study Group I was reminded of School 2013 nonstop. There’s probably more similarities that I can’t think of right now, but this is it for now.

Tsuyoshi Nanba (Shotaro Mamiya) is a troubled student, who is good at fighting. His delinquent behavior comes naturally to his family, which includes his parents and two siblings. When his parents were students, they were also trouble makers. Nevertheless, Tsuyoshi Nanba wants to become an ordinary student with good grades. He hides this desire from his family. After he enters high school, Tsuyoshi Nanba begins to lead two different lives. At school, he wears his uniform appropriately and behaves like a model student. At home, he dresses like a delinquent and behaves accordingly.
Tsuyoshi Nanba has now become a top student and has even joined the art club. One day, he sees a student being bullied by other students. Tsuyoshi Nanba changes out of his school uniform and dresses like he does at home. He saves the bullied student. Since then, students at his school talk about the mysterious delinquent student that saved a bullied student. I think both yun gamin and nanba have similar characteristics

The plots of both shows are very different BUT hear me out! I feel like they are both similarly very fast paced and never leave you bored. While the plot of both shows was nice, I truly think the cast and characters portrayed was what made these shows extremely entertaining. Personally, I thought both shows were bingeable and I would rewatch these shows, especially if I were feeling a kdrama slump.
