in my opinion the school bullying arc is major changed from novel so far (albeit it's also in the novel) very…
Oh my! it would have been percieved badly in drama. Cause they would have to do this and then immediately show the scene when they confess their issues and come closer.
Because novel has more depth and could space it well, drama would have had to squish it.
I can already see many comments where viewers are not getting how they came close so fast, and found the romance to be abrupt. So I can imagine had they done it exactly like the novel - it would have been very confusing.
It makes more sense - thanks again for sharing the novel's version and perspective. :)

Yes, just wish it could have been executed better. It seemed a bit jittery - like all along I knew it was a ploy to bring the main leads together but then it felt a bit off. The novel also had it in the same manner?
The school bully scene also existed in the novel, but it was slightly changed. I didn't like it there either.…
Hmm okay - then I guess they could have executed it better. It felt a bit abrupt - though yes, like you mentioned the purpose was for them to confess their issues and become closer.
Ep 15-16: The school bullying case seemed deliberately convoluted. To drive a bit of friction between our main leads only for them to come together stronger. It felt a bit meh as they could have just worked together to find the truth and come together in the process.
But then I'll chose to overlook it (another one) for the Ep 17 đź’‹ (though even there why did they have to bring in the flashbacks in a perfectly set up intimate moment - directors what's wrong?)
P.S.: Novel Readers - was the school bullying scene there in the novel? Was it changed/necessary? Just curious to know cause it felt a bit off in terms of execution and catalyst to plot.
Sadly I think he wants her back and it wasn’t for her mom se Yeong would want him as well
Se Young does want him, in spite of the mother's dislike of him. I wonder why they broke up in the first place - or rather come together? Probably cause of the feeling of being alone and out of place.
Not that anyone is inherently evil, I would like to believe that Se Yeong isn't either - but even without her mother's push - she does carry out acts of evil and manipulation which is why she is not a right character in my books - even for Ji Seok. Ji Seok might have become a grey character and would stoop to any level to meet his revenge goal - but he comes from a place of goodness at least that is what I feel of what has been shown so far.
i cant say whats going to happen with those two in the end , but if there is a moment he has to take an important…
If he does not chose Ha Na (and I fear he might not cause jin Goo would be there or at least that is what Ji Seok will think) - I think everything will go downhill for him.
His insecurity and low self-esteem mean he sees getting her back as some kind of "win". Atp it feels like some…
That's the worst isn't it? Ji Seok's character might just showcase how misplaced his revenge strategy was - since it might hurt the people he holds dear
I really hope Ji Seok is using Se Young, and does not have geniune feelings for her or ends up with her. While am typing this I fear that it may be true.
Some second chances are good - but not for manipulative evil people. so really hoping Ji Seok uses her and the reveal makes Se Young atone for her wrongdoings.
Oh I didn't realize he's enlisting soon. We probably get the next season for when he comes back,
He has already enlisted, he will be returning Dec 20, 2025. So probably they can have spin off series with another character in focus (am guessing his Uncle - got to understand from other MDL users that there is another novel/webtoon where he is the main character) AND have Season 2 planned when Hwang Min Hyun returns.
High-school dramas about bullying and injustice aren't new, but "Study Group" stands out with its larger-than-life fights and OP character. I haven't read the webtoon, but I love the shonen-style action and comedy. What’s great is that it goes beyond the fights, offering glimpses into a larger universe with unique characters and motives that add depth to the main story.
These stories are special because, while we can't be OP characters in real life, there's immense satisfaction in seeing underdogs win and just characters triumph over injustice.
With just four episodes left, I'm excited to see how they conclude the story, hopefully leaving room for potential sequels once Ga Min’s actor "Hwang Min-hyun" returns from military duty. Given its popularity, I believe the makers will seize the opportunity for a Season 2, no doubt!
It is mentioned that "Li Zan feels guilty and blames himself for the death of his friend who sacrificed his life…
Looks like what I didn't want has happened - Jiang Lin is dead in the drama, and as I feared Li Zan feels guilty and obliged to look after his younger cousin brother. Damn T_T
Zheyuan's eye expressions are a class of their own ❤️_❤️
Very few actors are able to emote so well through them (especially scenes of crying, anguish, pain) without it looking like overacting. Literally makes you a little teary eyed or get that throat lump - even though it is behind a screen!
Lee Jun Young seems to have been typecasted as a negative role character more than positive ones. While he slays everytime in either category, I want him to get more main roles.
Still excited to see how his character is in this season!
he's always been since his City Hunter days. But so glad that more and more people are getting under his charm…
That is so incredible isn't it? I love this - better late than never, like I said.
You should definitely watch 365 Days, one of my favorite dramas - it was a very well thought out plot, great acting and action, and suspense in heavy doses!
