definitely a must watch
Damn. I loved this show! It was hilarous and kept me wanting to watch until the very end! I’m hoping they might make a second season. I was sucked in from the first episode. The cast worked well together and the action and special effects that were used were great too. I kept seeing little previews of this show when I watched videos on Facebook and I was like damn this looks good. And it was, definitely worth a watch! I am always recommending shows to my coworker at work and this will be on the list.Was this review helpful to you?

Study Group Being The Best And The Main Character Of 2025 Kdramas!
Honestly... I don't even know how to start this off because it was THAT GOOD. I have never been so satisfied and enjoyed and loved every bit of a drama like study group in my life. Study Group is the most perfect epitome of a webtoon remake drama, other dramas should use this as an example. Every scene from the webtoon was so satisfyingly made to life ESPECIALLY the action scenes. I can never get enough of the action scenes, I was always left in awe whenever I saw Gamin fighting but most importantly.. when the study group cutely joined together and fought. They are so wholesome and made the action scenes even more meaningful, the bonds of the study group made it even more special. Every episode was done so well and the comedy aspects were amazing.I loved the bond of the group especially the dynamic between our Gochuchang boy Jun and our diva Jiwoo. I can watch them all day like they are too funny, cool and cute together. I love their type of dynamics. The casting was just too perfect that I am so relived we had this cast because they made the show what it is today.
I sincerely hope there is a season 2, and I have faith it will. Until then, I will be rewatching this. Thank you, Study Group and the soundtrack, for keeping me going during university. I have the motivation to study, and I will try to have the mindset of Gamin and never give up. I will listen to the soundtrack, take myself back to the show, pretend I'm in the study group,p and work hard.
Also having Hwang Minhyun as the star with Gunwook x Matthew, Yedam, and Haon as the OST was made for me, it made it even more special as a fan of them all ~
DID NOT WANT TO SAY GOODBYE BUT... See you for Season 2 x
Kind regards,
Study Group and Gochuchang N0.1 fan (can't believe it was his first drama)

10/10! From beginning to end!
One of the best action shows I’ve seen in a long time, or maybe ever. I love an action show or flick, but there’s a certain point where if it gets more violent than action-packed, it can become less enjoyable to watch. For sure Study Group has violence throughout, these kids are always fighting, whether literally or figuratively, for their place and their beliefs. It’s a testament to how great of a show this is that it balanced the line perfectly between action versus over the top violence. The fight scenes were all that more incredible because of the fantastical aspect added to them. The entertainment factor of the skillful choreographed fight scenes is addictive, you can’t not watch, and anytime someone flys in the air or crashes through a wall from a punch or a kick, it doesn’t matter if it’s unrealistic, it’s so easy to just go with it and enjoy seeing the villains that deserve a comic book style beat down get served. I wish I would have watched this even sooner, but either then or now, I’ll be just as bummed when it’s over and done. I already know this is going to be one of those shows that sticks in my mind for a long time. And I’m looking forward to watching it again someday, which I’m positive I will, but even then, I’ll be sad that it has to end.Was this review helpful to you?
Underrated Gem Alert: Study Group (2025) Deserves More Hype!
I accidentally stumbled upon *Study Group (2025)* and ended up binge-watching the entire series—it’s *that* good! I had no idea it was released in January; I only found it in April, and now I’m wondering why it’s not as popular as other school dramas. Honestly, it deserves way more attention!The acting is solid, the story is gripping, and the fight scenes? Absolutely amazing. Each fight is choreographed so well—it never feels boring or dragged out. One thing I really loved was the background *rap music* during fights or intense moments—it adds so much energy and hype! It honestly made every scene feel 10x cooler.
It has the perfect blend of action, comedy, and emotional moments. If you loved *Weak Hero Class 1*, this one will totally be your vibe. I enjoyed every second and now I’m really hoping for a Season 2 because this story deserves to continue.
In short, *Study Group* is a hidden gem that every action-school drama fan needs to watch. Don’t miss it!

Made me wanna study
I started watching out of whim, I'm not into action packed series but this one got me hooked! What I liked:1)All the main characters are likeable and suit their role well
2) Action scenes are lit!
3) The study theme is so refreshing. Kids just wanna learn!
4)The avoidance of sexualised threats. I was truly anxious when the teacher and girl student were threatened but nth untoward happened
5) The villain. He looks redeemable and I hope we get to see his 180arc
6) The main lead. So nicely portrayed, clueless and innocent and happy and a killing machine
7)His mother. What a badass! Damn girl, serve some justice!
8) 45m episode! Yeah! No more time anxiety! 45 mins, fully packed and fits nicely in your everyday programme
What I didn't like:
1) The actors at times look a lot older than normal students, especially the thugs
2) The more the story progressed the more the action scenes looked cartoonish. Don't misunderstand, they are artfully done but at the end they looked like superpowers instead of martial arts. The final fight reminded me of marvel cinematics.
3) Is there a season 2? I have questions. What's Yeop's relationship with the villain's father? Is he the other heir?
All in all the story gave me a nice bubbly feeling about studying which is a first so, yeah, give it try!

YOU WILL BE ENTERTAINED!!!!
Study Group is like a mix between Weak Class Hero 1, Mob Psycho 100, and One Punch Man.... and in the best possible way!!!!I'm not kidding either. Some of the punches were so potent, so utterly convincing, that I gasped and gawked like a real spectator would on the sidelines. Hwang Min Hyun did an absolutely amazing job portraying high school student Yun Ga Min, a young and naive optimist with a passion to improve himself intellectually (quite possibly to no avail) who suffers from hidden feelings of inadequacy when it comes to his academic pursuits. This inadequacy blinds him to his other strengths, such as being basically oblivious to how overpowered he is physically.
Honestly, it's hard to believe Min Hyun was almost 30 years old when filming the series. It's funny how he's basically the same age as Jin Woo Jin (Disciplinary Committee member Kim Gyu Jin), yet in their fight scene, Woo Jin looked like a grown man fighting against a teenager. Luckily, the show doesn't take itself seriously enough for the viewer to care about such things.
Also, although everybody gets a free knuckle sandwich, there's no denying the underlying theme that it's never too late to better oneself, even when it feels like all odds are against you. My two favorite quotes from the show include "I create opportunities even in hellish situations" and "Be thugs amongst yourselves if you must." I enjoyed Min Hyun's performance so much that I took a peek at his biography, being absolutely convinced he was the same actor who played the main lead in the show "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty." Much to my surprise, these are two completely different actors! (really though, I can't be the only one who thinks Hwang Min Hyun and Lee Chae Min look like siblings).
I rank Study Group as my number one favorite series this year. I rate it a 10/10 because I was entertained from start to finish. The only downside is that now I feel a void in my heart that no other show can entertain me quite like this one in the foreseeable future (for this reason, I'll minus a 0.0000000000000001).

I expected a lot from this drama and it delivered exactly what I wanted. The drama is a good portrait of a well-made live action webtoon. It even reminds me of Japanese productions of the style, where the acting is more forced and looks more like a webtoon.
The villain is interesting, I'm usually lazy about villains in dramas because I think they're much stronger than the protagonists, For someone who watches anime like me, this makes the story lazy and easy. But here, it shows a cool protagonist who's on a good level with the villains.
The fight effects are perhaps the best I've seen in Korean action dramas and rival many of the Chinese martial arts style.
I already expected that the drama wouldn't have romance because it's a school drama, but there were still cute scenes between the group that warmed my heart.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Happy Ending: The villains are arrested. The teacher manages to start improving the school and the vice principal is also arrested. The fighting app is turned off.
Next Season: The ending leaves the next arc open, showing the villain's father sending a lawyer to release the boy and learning about the story.

*sings in the tune of Frozen* Do you want to join a study group?
"If you wanna be somebody...if you wanna go somewhere...you betta wake up and...whoop some folks arses....while you study!" Or whatever Whoopi and Lauryn Hill said. This is the mantra that is the vibe of this action-comedy, 'Study Group.' Listen to me when I tell you that I LOVED THE ABCD'S outta this action whopper of a series! I am a LOVER of quality produced and choreographed martial arts movies (I'm not a cinephile...totally) and this series...is giving the business!I just wanted to share that, and I won't say much more, but watch this!

Great Watch of you enjoyed Weak Hero Class..
The male lead was everything, A great adaptation of the popular WEBTOON, an interesting and fresh Twist on the School bullying trope. The storyline was straightforward without any unnecessary fillers or twists. Many scenes had me yelling at the screen with excitement and glee. this drama has you hooked in from the first episode, he also gave me video game building up to the final Boss Fights. throughout all 10 episodes, there was not one doll moment they really kept viewers on the edge of their seats. What the protagonists Were fighting for was a worthy cause. This was so good. I immediately re-watched just to make sure I did not miss out anything.Was this review helpful to you?
