Study Group

March 28, 2025

Top student Yoo Tae-yang (Hwang Min-hyun) transfers to a notoriously violent school in Nowon district and immediately forms a study group. He uses his surprising fighting ability to make the environment safe enough to study in.

The study group's first session. Several members would rather fight than study. Tae-yang is willing to do both, in that order.

The rival school's territory begins at the edge of the Dobong-gu high school exterior. Understanding the geography of the conflict turns out to be as important as understanding the curriculum.

Each study group member's background — and reason for avoiding academic ambition — is revealed. The Nowon district streets where they live frame each backstory.

The first practice exam. Results that would embarrass most people. Tae-yang treats them as data.

The group begins to improve. Not dramatically — gradually, irritatingly, in the way real learning works.

A rival group at the school attempts to disband the study group by force. Tae-yang responds with proportionate efficiency.

The Nowon district streets at night — the world the students go back to after school. The drama's most atmospheric episode.

The group is almost ready for the actual exam. Something threatens to undo the progress of eight episodes.

The examination. Named one of TIME's 10 best K-dramas of 2025 for making a study session feel as tense as any action sequence.

The results arrive. The drama's most quietly satisfying moment.

The finale. The study group takes a photo outside the Dobong-gu school. Everyone looks slightly different from who they were in Episode 1.
