For the webtoons, Get Schooled (aka Teach You a Lesson) and Study Group are in a universe called the Blue String…
Thank you so much for sharing. I think I would love to read the work since I have recently got to reading manga/manhwa/webtoons. Are these works complete - I will definitely look them up. Enjoyed Study Group and loving Get Schooled as well :)
wait everything was going so good but that fall in ep3 is so unrealistic ohh please! πππ
Haha I had the same thought, but I didn't mind it. The main lead is supposed to an OP character; so I enjoyed it as it was cool. Then again I always get pumped up with such shows and storylines and don't mind when reality is bend. Afterall - this is fictional, an idealistic/utopian world which will not exist - but we can simply hope for things to get better.
βοΈ Loving this series (So far): It's the weekend - and I just started this drama; 3 episodes down and I am loving every bit of it. It reminds me of Study Group (I want to know how it is a shared universe), Trauma Code (the nurse there is the ML's fiancee here) and also one of the episodes of Taxi Driver. Basically where the main lead is an OP character and doing things that are right. Loving the social commentary - it is quite need of the hour - though very idealistic, I wish measures are taken IRL. I love all the main 4 leads - have known them from quite long to be talented and diverse actors/actress. It's good to see them in action. I feel I am going to binge this one quickly!
βοΈ Study Group - Ga Min's Uncle's Role*** I know another actor has been announced, but when I was first seeing Study Group (have not read the manhwa) - one of the actors I imagined as the ML's uncle was "Kim Mu Yeol". I guess while he is not the uncle but he's in this role and it does make my theory come to life in a way - action sequence wishlist completed!
***Others were: Ji Chang Wook, Ju Ju Hoon (if younger) or Park Hyuk Kwon, Gong Yoo (if slightly older). I felt they all will give off the goofy vibes but be insane fighters like Jackie Chan, who does effortless fighting.
What an amazing drama - highly underrated I feel cause I don't see many discussing or recommending this drama. I personally feel this is a must watch and it is going in my hall of fame of 2026 for sure.
One observation for those who finished the drama: Aren't some of Lee Un Jeong's (Cha Eun Woo's character) scenes similar to X-Men's Jean's?
I have seen X-men a long time ago, but I have a feeling some scenes are really similar especially in last 2 episodes - (1) when he is fighting Gravity (Kim Pal Ho) and focuses on his powers so everything rises/levitates and then there's a blast-off (2) the bullet reverse scene in Ep 8? Possibly because their powers are same (telekinesis) but I just wanted to ask here - if anyone remembers the X-men movies and scenes.
Lee Si Won is giving me Park Jinyoung vibes - especially his lower half of the face.
Not starting this yet, want it to air some more episodes. But I just checked out the first episodes' first 20-25 minutes when they all gather, to see the guys that are appearing on the show π
I have not seen the Japanese version, but just reading the given drama-premise; it is giving me female-version vibes of "Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" :)
I am yet to begin this drama, but while typing "Reborn..." in the search bar of my drama-watching website, I came across another J-drama, "Reborn (2026)" is the title. It is quite similar to this drama - basis the synopsis and yet different.
He is really good but underrated. Waiting for that one role that will catapult him to the "sought after ML" list. I have seen many go from support to main roles "Byeon Woo Seok", "Lee Jun Young" and "Shin Hae Sun" - seeing their journeys from the start as I started my own K-entertainment watching. So eagerly waiting for him to be a main male lead soon! π€π€π€
Lee Jun Hyuk as a priest is looking so good. How does this man look good in every role. I remember the first time I saw him in City Hunter, and I glad I did and took notice of him since then. Wonderful actor, and damn, he is so FINE! γβ (β κͺβ κ³β κͺβ )β γ
I loved the show - but I thought the story was complete, what are they going to share in S2, I wonder? I hope they bring the rest of the cast back as well - they were great β€οΈ
I am loving that we are getting so many projects of her. Excited to see this, given her talent - I think she will be able to pull this off very well. That agony that is needed when you're torn between which side to take, she's going to nail it!!
He's extremely talented - deserves all the love. Can't wait to watch this movie once it airs in my region - the story seems interesting, and it stars another favorite of mine along with SakaKen, the legend - Ken Watanabe! π«Ά
loved your comment and analysis of the characters. I was coming to write something similar especially about the…
Thank you for the recommendation. Yes, I saw the cast when Azure Springy was under the upcoming shows in MDL. That show is not my cup of tea, but I will make a note now that he's made quite an impression. Maybe for the days when you don't know what new to watch. Thanks again :)
[1] Jae Yeol: I feel a sense of pity for him now. His one sided love will never come true and now looks like he's also not able to free himself from the political marriage. Moreover his mother's health deteriorates. He's truly lonely and pitiful with a father who's unsupportive and a brother who wants to see him fail. Really feel sorry for him, especially when with his interaction with Mr Noh at the bar proved that he's someone who truly values justice and true. I really hope by the end of the drama he finds peace one way or another - perhaps he's able to divorce his wife, and leave everything and take care of his mother. But before he does that I hope he also gives an earful to his father, for treating him like anything but a son.
[2] Audit Team 3 - Awwwww, best team indeed. I love them too, Ms Yoon. They are a bunch of sweethearts. Expected when the actor who plays Mr Moo is their leader. He's usually a good goofy guy in dramas and here he was no different.
[3] The half-brother: I am seeing the actor for the first time, and while his character and arc are not fleshed out as the main and second leads, he's good. The keyboard smash, the constant cunning eyes that are looking for ways to create a downfall for his brother - marks of a good antagonist to loath for sure.
[4] A-jeong: Yes, I want to B-slap her too. Second drama I am seeing her in, and yes I want to slap her twice at least, hard. She was pitiful before Ep 10 ending and Ep 11 preview, but now - total hate. Kudos to the actress through for playing it so well, but I really want her to play an intelligent, funny or badass character next. Though we could not get the B-slap, it was awesome to see how cool In-a was to intimidate her.
[5] This episode was a little low on our cute, adorable doses of Mr Noh and In-a, so I hope there's more as we go to the finale episodes next week. Can't believe this show has come to an end. While it is going good, I think the last few episodes became a bit too serious. Would have loved if they would have kept it light and comedic even in these episodes, they are trying but it is not the same but it is okay - the script/story-line demands it. Though I feel it has led to a slight dip in the ratings. Hope the finale is a blast and it ends well. This is definitely a must-watch drama of 2026!

Just a random comment - how 2 similar titled and story were airing at almost similar time/year.
