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.

So entertaining
I love this show so much. It has Weak Hero Class 1 vibes but it's a lot more light hearted and funny. I like this show because the hero it's kinda like One Punch Man. The hero is stronger than everyone but it's not as simple as just beating everyone to a pulp. The show has good villains and a good plot too. Everyone is so freaking attractive too. I highly recommend you watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
IT IS EPIC!!!
A few minutes in and i was gagged. No one and i mean no one could have prepared me for the awesomeness that my eyes have witnessed. I am someone who never read the comic and know i have no choice but to read it haaaaaaa[ps. I am not angry, I am just overexcited]. WHY do the episodes upload only once a week.Was this review helpful to you?
Student underdog keeps trying
I love dramas where the underdog keeps going. Without giving anything away i have to say bullying is such a destructive factor in our schools. This plot may have been done before but I love their spin on it. It is definitely a must watch......having two episodes each time doesn't hurt either. I can't wait for Thursday.Was this review helpful to you?
Best movie so far
I love the storyline and actors and actresses. They all bring out the story well with their skills. Can't wait for the rest of the series. I can't get enough of it.I applaud the writer with how the story flows. There is a great message that brings to people. It is very much happening in our lives, sadly enough were still fighting justice against money.

já aguardando 2 temp
Dorama INCRIVEL!!! Eu simplesmente fiquei impressionada a cada episódio e também como a história se desenvolvia. Eu estava sempre ansiosa pelas quintas esperando por episódios, eu espero que a 2 temporada seja lançada logo em breve porque houve muitos momentos no final que precisam ser logo ser explicados pq já tô ficando ansiosa😭😭 Os atores também foram fiéis aos seus personagens e as atuações incríveis! Inclusive os irmãos são parecidos também, e espero que heewon e sehyeon fiquem juntos na 2Was this review helpful to you?
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!!!

Une bonne idée gâchée par l’excès
L’histoire de Study Group est bien construite et soutenue par un bon casting. L’exagération dans les combats ne me dérange pas en soi, mais ici, elle est poussée à l’extrême, ce qui décrédibilise la série et casse l’immersion. C’est dommage, car le générique et la bande-son sont excellents et participent à l’ambiance.Je comprends que la série cherche à intégrer une touche de comédie, mais il existe d’autres façons de le faire dans un drama centré sur les combats. Ici, l’exagération des affrontements donne un effet trop forcé, qui fonctionne mal et nuit à l’impact des scènes d’action.
Même si cet aspect est volontaire, j’aurais préféré un réalisme plus maîtrisé, comme dans Weak Hero Class, qui excelle dans ce domaine. La série reste divertissante, mais sans plus.

Adrenalinico e divertente mix perfetto
Il primo drama dopo tanto che non volevo finisse!!! Mi sono portata la visione dell'ultimo episodio il più a lungo possibile!!!! L'unica nota negativa di questo drama!?? Gli episodi da 40 minuti! E per non bastare solo 10!!!! Ma si può?!!!Non avrei dato un euro a questo drama e invece dal primo episodio al decimo hanno catturato ogni fibra del mio essere!! Ho provato rabbia, dolore, gioia e lacrime, sono stati in grado di trasmettermi un adrenalina pazzesca!! Vuoi le OST super!! Vuoi la trasformazione dei personaggi, vuoi la chimica e l'unione tra questi ragazzi che hanno lottato e sconfitto non solo il boss della scuola ma l'intera scuola!!
Nell'ultima battaglia abbiamo visto tutti i ragazzi della scuola unirsi con loro per la libertà, perche sì in questi episodi tutti hanno potuto vedere con quanto coraggio non si siano mai arresi alle difficoltà!!! È stata una storia bellissima e non la solita storia di bullismo ma una storia che ti fa venir voglia di lottare contro il mondo perciò in cui credi!!
Bello bello e indimenticabile.. okk forse un po' alla bruce lee a volte ma nel suo insieme stupendo!!
Mi sarò ripetuta lo so ma questi ragazzi mi hanno dato tanto e se ci fosse davvero una seconda stagione in cui il nostro gan mi corona il suo sogno di andare al college ben venga!!!!

Quand les livres et les uppercuts font équipe !
Alors là… WOW !!! Ce drama m’a mis une claque dès le premier épisode 😳 Et franchement, je pensais pas que ça allait autant me prendre aux tripes. "Study Group", c’est le genre de drama que j'ai lancé “par curiosité”, et que j'ai finis en une seule traite, sans m’en rendre compte...🏃♀️💨Le mélange action / émotion / réflexion est juste parfaitement dosé, même si tout est extrapolé. D’un côté, il y a des scènes de baston ultra stylées qui m'ont donne envie de me lever de mon canap’ et d'hurler “vas-y, démonte-les !!!” 🥊🔥 Et de l’autre, t’as ce fond scolaire, cette envie de s’en sortir, de bosser dur pour échapper à un destin tout tracé... qui m'a un peu serré le cœur à chaque épisode 💔📖
Le héros... Juste incroyable. Il est attachant, déterminé, un peu paumé mais tellement sincère. C’est un gars simple qui veut juste étudier pour s’en sortir… mais qui se retrouve à devoir constamment se battre, pour protéger ses potes et garder la tête hors de l’eau 💪🏻. Il a ce petit truc qui m'a fait croire en lui à fond. On parle pas d’un “héro parfait”, mais d’un mec profondément humain, et j'ai trouvé ça ultra rafraîchissant 😍
Les personnages secondaires aussi méritent une mention spéciale ✨. Franchement, chacun a sa vibe, ses blessures, ses combats, et tout le monde a un rôle important à jouer. Personne n’est là juste pour meubler... que ce soit les amis, les rivaux ou même les profs chelous, tout le monde apporte un truc, un moment fort, une prise de conscience 😌
Et puis, cette tension constante... Genre, le drama te laisse jamais respirer. Il se passe toujours quelque chose. J'avais clairement pas le temps de m’ennuyer ou de checker mon tel 📵, et c’est rare, franchement !!!
Sinon, la réalisation est dynamique, les scènes d’action sont bien filmées, y’a une vraie intensité émotionnelle qui s’installe épisode après épisode, et je trouve que ça rend ce drama totalement addictif 🧨. J'espère fortement une SO2 pour continuer de suivre leurs aventures 👊🏻📚👓✌🏻
