A childish action dream

The plot could've been great, ended up being a disappointment. The cliches never ended, everything happened exactly the way you'd expect it to go. So is there any real need to even watch the show?

The male lead is a person who wants to study, but is not good at it. And he fights people who won't let him study or people who don't let his friends study. Like I said before, it could've been something good. But this same thing keeps happening for 10 episodes.

So its the same old story of convincing people to join a group with him. Usually it's gathering people for a heist or something, but our hero wants to be in a study group. Oh and apparently the whole school is against the idea of a study group.........even if it contains only 5 kids, all the higher ups of the school want to get rid of it. It's kind of like forcing things into existence. Their issues like this made little or no sense at all.

The "villain" also had potential, but we barely saw anything about him before the last episode, and even that was very one dimensional. You'd think the son of a gangster could handle a nosy teacher by himself (and his teen fighter gang) but you'd be wrong. He gets expelled, and gets arrested. Many students - who were only a day ago fighting and playing his games, turned against him and helped the good guys. Very believable.

The only good character was Se Hyeon, he had more to him than anyone else, but again all the plots related to him were too obvious. Everytime he got upset, he'd be convinced and back with the group after 5 mins. Oh also, he's the one who cannot fight at all but he did defeat the villain's no.2 guy all alone.

The whole part where the ml's mother wants to transfer him was very boring, wished they'd show her background of fighting more, but they didn't focus on that. Also, ml's fighting teacher was mentioned a lot but never shown, maybe they want to keep it for future seasons (that I'll save the trouble of watching). Even the prev teacher's son's role was very stupid and irrelevant. I thought atleast he'd join the study group, but that never happened.

Overall a very predictable and ordinary show, but if you want some nice action scenes with music, go ahead and have a watch.
