SHORT BUT INTENSE
Found out about this movie after seeing that the drama sequel will be released in May 2025!
The movie is short but intense and I loved it!! The zeal and emotion of the boy was amazing! No one should stay bullied for that long too!!
Because itâs a movie the full story wasnât told and Iâm happy weâre getting a drama version which will have more plot and storyline!!
Hopefully, all cast members will still be there, cause they all did amazingly well!!
I canât also wait to watch Do-Hyunâs get his own revenge and more of WooLsun fight!!
It was a good drama đ

AN UNTOLD STORY OF THE STUDY GANG
Study Group" is a webtoon adaptation of the same title. While Iâm not typically a fan of bullying dramas, this one stood out because it featured the protagonist frequently getting the better of the antagonist.
Positives:
Great Casting: The actors did an exceptional job, and the chemistry among the characters was evident. The visuals were top tier, and I believe the OST was good too.
Intriguing Backstories: I loved how the backstories were initiated and told. Each story had its unique way of adding spice to each episode, and I was always looking forward to them.
Perfect Character Development: The character development was well-executed, making the drama more exciting to watch.
You'd think you'd had so much fun with one episode, but the next episode would leave you with a new type of excitement! However, I didn't like the fact that Hong Min Gi had little screen time.
Negatives:
HanUI's Character: Let's talk about HanUI,I doubt if he can be saved or if he even wants to be saved. His character was so chilled and cool too.
Final Fight Scene: I didn't like the last fight between GaMin and HanUI. It was too basic compared to the initial fights from previous episodes and had way too many cartoon effects, making it look unrealistic (even though I know it's a webtoon).
In conclusion, Study Group was an exceptional drama overall, with a great cast and a beautiful storyline.

SAME SIMILAR SCHOOL BULLYING PLOTS!! ??
Was it good? Yes! will I rewatch it again? No! was it better than the season 1? Hell no!
The plot felt like I was watching study group with minimal wow moments. The organised school gang, and so many scenes were all similar to study group!
I love the main villain but hopefully they leave him without the school uniform.
SiEun storyline was made to surround SuHo, only for them to make their meeting soulless and bland!! It just felt like the scene was thrown in to please the fans.
I think am tired of the good boys group having 1 great fighter, 1 good fighter, 1 semi good but stil gets beaten up and then 1 loser who doesnât know how to throw a punch!
At the end, it was a good drama and I loved seeing the faces of the actors!!

Normalize Sad ending too
I would have rated it higher if we have gotten a breakup which was initiated by JinHwan! I don't think I want to be a relationship were I will be second guessing my every move cause I have a partner with inferiority complex and insecurity issues, it's a deal breaker!Imagine waking up reach day to check if your partner is still right next to you, or his clothes are still in the wardrobe and not knowing was going through his mind!
I really wished we got a better ending but the tried with their acting tho!

Waste of Time
Welp, itâs official down from that 8.0 rating and honestly, I was just waiting for it to drop đ„Ž. The drama had potential, it really did.. until Willyâs character got side lined and everything just slid into meh territory. The action? A whole 1%. Some of the acting? Oof. Itâs painful watching others improve while a few folks act like growth is optional. No aura, zero charisma, dialogue flatter than a pancake (I wonât name names, but whew đŹ). They had all the time in the world to deliver drama, but clearly, romance was the only priority. And that daily car race? Still scratching my head over its purpose. Cool concept, but execution? Mid.Was this review helpful to you?
Donât know why it took me this long to watch!!
Let me give credit to YoHan(Hwa Woon), donât know why they called his role a supporting role tho!!Story: Good story, I loved how they started the all plot without showing us he was the one doing the killing! I also love the story of the other casts too!!
cast members: Beautiful characters and they did their part beautifully well!!
Was sad that the Father died tho!! he didnât deserve to die!!
JuHyun was a little bit annoying tho!!
It was beautiful written with a little flaw but still among the best of kdram thriller drama!!

Better a movie than a drama!! overhyped
I know itâs a 2019 drama, but seriously! Iâve watched slow-paced dramas before, but this one was just repeating scenes over and over. From episode 1 to 7, that was basically the whole plot! Jong-Juâs character wasnât used properly same people kept annoying me for seven episodes straight, and he didnât even react!
The detective was frustrating, and the characters who kept bothering Jong-Ju made me want to slap them through the screen!
They tried to make the female police officer seem tough and dedicated, but all her decisions were just plain foolish.
I get that itâs based on a webtoon, but K-dramas need to understand that live-action is different! They didnât need to drag things out just because thatâs how it was in the original story.
Honestly, it was a waste of a strong cast and a good premise. This is exactly why I donât trust Asian drama ratings!

COOL DRAMA
I jumped straight into Season 2 without catching up on Season 1, and surprisingly, I never felt out of the loop. The dynamics were brilliant, and the games kept leveling up with each round!
Every character delivered flawlessly they truly owned their roles.
I didnât really fancy the pregnant girl character sheâs was like a hindrance to the group cause they were always more worrried about her instead of them focusing on the game!
Now, Iâm just here, patiently (or not) waiting for Season 3!

NOT A ROMANCE OR REVENGE DRAMA
First, let me be clear: Buried Hearts is a thriller, mystery, and crime drama. Itâs not a revenge or romance drama, so stop calling it that đ! The story is led by DongJu and Yeom, but the real surprise is that DongJu, who survived death eight times. He's like a cat with nine lives đ!
What I Loved:
- No romance! That made the show even better for me. I love it when thrillers and mysteries stay focused without adding love stories.
- The acting was amazing, and I liked almost all the characters.
- The plot felt a little fresh, though it did have some typical Kdrama elements.
What Went Wrong:
- The 16 episodes felt too long. Some parts of the story seemed unnecessary, as if they were added just to fill time.
- The story dragged, repeating the same things and having episodes that felt boring with no real action.
- The only good mystery was finding out about DongJu's father, but many people had already guessed it. There wasnât much else that felt mysterious.
- There were a few exciting scenes, but nothing special.
- Eunnamâs character was dull, and even the housekeepers had more interesting parts.
- Tayeung ended up as âramen boyâ with no depth to his story. It would have been nice to see him have a rivalry with the other guy his age.
- DongJu and Yeomâs fights kept repeating, without anyone really winning.
The Ending:
I enjoyed the drama and everything it brought to the table, so donât get me wrong. However, I had hoped for deeper exploration of its genres. And let me emphasize again, itâs not a revenge or romance drama! The ending felt overly rushed and lacked a solid storyline. Honestly, if this was the intended conclusion, the show would have been better as a 12-episode series.

TYPICAL KDRAMA ROMCOM
My Dearest Nemesis is a lighthearted rom-com centered around a chaebol family. I stuck with it primarily because of the second couple. The main plot is rather clichĂ©, offering nothing new in terms of storyline,itâs the classic tale of a wealthy grandson falling for a poor girl. The drama boasts great actors and good production quality, but the second coupleâs story stole the spotlight for me. Despite their limited screen time, their narrative had immense potential. If only the series had explored their story further,it could have injected more life into the drama.K-dramas should learn to strike a better balance, giving second couples well-developed storylines instead of focusing solely on the main leads!

They can do better!!
The ending felt pointless, and the kiss scene in episode 7 didnât suit university students at all. If the story had been framed as a high school drama instead, it would have been more believable if they were young characters still figuring out their emotions and thoughts. That way, the progression of their relationship would have felt more natural and understandable.The constant miscommunication was frustrating. Why is it such a struggle to confess feelings to a friend? Both characters failed to speak up when it mattered most, making the whole situation unnecessarily dragged out. This type of plot feels outdated and if they insist on using it, they need to execute it well or at least give us a satisfying ending!

Too many unnecessary scenes
Novels really need to be modified when adapted to live action! This one had way too many unnecessary scenes, drawn-out dialogue, and repetitive moments that should have been edited out. At least they had the sense to skip the pregnancy subplot! It was an okay drama, but nothing special in terms of acting or storyline compared to other bl out there. The princess in distress scenes took way too much space, it was overwhelming. The only new thing in it was the pregnancy subplot. If not, it felt like a Supernatural bl drama with basic plot.Was this review helpful to you?
IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH MORE EPISODES
I didnât have high hopes for History of Lossers, but the early episodes (1-4) really impressed me! Itâs a story about a group of boys embracing their so-called 'loser' status while navigating relationships and friendships. The dynamics of their friendship were a highlight for me, I loved how they always had each otherâs backs.
MinGi was easily the most frustrating character, in my opinion. Plus, it felt like the controversy during filming impacted the conclusion, leaving the story unfinished. My favorite character was Ryeoun. Despite not having enough screen time or storyline development, he stood out as the foundation of their friendship group, quietly holding them together.
That said, the biggest downside was the episode length, it was too short! The rushed ending left so much unresolved, and Ryeounâs storyline, in particular, deserved more attention. With more time to flesh out the characters and plot, the show couldâve been so much better. Still, it offered a heartfelt glimpse into the lives of boys and how they navigate their bonds and challenges.

JUST GOOD NOTHING MORE
I was happy watching it, loved the school dynamic and it was fun when Seo was engaging with the other students!
The actors did good and played their part exceptionally well! They should have dived more into the other characters stories too!
It was termed romance and it was only a fraction of it that was shown, not like I really cared, but I donât like liars đ!!
I didnât watch the last two episodes after seeing one edit and I knew âtwas something I didnât want to watch!!
Let my last episodes be at the scene where he saw the body!!
It could have been better but it wasnât bad either!!

IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ADAPTATION GO AHEAD AND WATCH!!
This was a typical kdrama thing and the fact it was filmed few years ago makes it more understandable..Loved the characters and they did great with their acting! It's a drama that focuses on the both heter and BL relationship!
Apart for their usual dragging of the storyline, it's pretty much a decent drama! If you missed the old teen kdrama plot then this is also for you.
Oh I didn't like the way the confession was done they should have allowed the other guy to be the one to confess first!
Anyway it was a cute, fun and friendly drama!!
