Grabe, I’m still reeling from watching “Study Group”! This was my first Hwang Min Hyun drama since “Alchemy of Souls,” and let me tell you, he did not disappoint. Might even have to watch “My Lovely Liar” just because. Ka-guapo jud aning Min Hyun oi. LOL. But seriously, “Study Group” gets a solid 9/10 from me. The “fighting for justice” theme might be a classic, but this show has a lot of heart, humor, and unique twists that kept me hooked.
With only 10 episodes at 40 minutes each, it’s the perfect drama for a quick binge. The story is fast-paced, and the entire cast is just gorgeous. My gosh Baek Seo Hoo, nganong kontrabida man ka diri bebe? Haha! The action scenes are also super impressive. They use slow-motion and music to really emphasize the impact of every punch and kick. Ang mga ambak with matching patid nga scenes are so cool!
I love how they kept the Uncle’s identity a secret throughout the whole show. I know you can find spoilers online since it’s based on a webtoon, but I much prefer the mystery. And while I was kinda expecting na fighter pud iyang Mama, it was still awesome to see her in action, kicking gangster butt!
Gikulangan ra ko sa story line ni Park Geon Yeop, mas nice unta to ug ni join pud sya sa study group gyud. If I had to nitpick, I wish they’d given us more backstory on the characters. Like, what does the dad even do for a living? We never even see him, so I’m really hoping for a Season 2 with more details about their family life.
If ganahan ka ug action-packed shows, kanang walay love story, more on friendship and family, with a focus on character development, then “Study Group” is definitely for you!
