Han Ji-eun enters Yuseong Technical High School with a secret.
The production team of Tving Original ‘Study Group’ (directed by Lee Jang-hoon and Yoo Beom-sang, written by Eom Seon-ho and Oh Bo-hyeon), which will be released on the 23rd, released a still cut of Lee Han-kyung (played by Han Ji-eun), a temporary teacher who will bring about change at the problematic Yuseong Technical High School, on the 9th.
‘Study Group’ is a comical high school action film about Yoon Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun), who wants to study hard but is only good at fighting, forming a ‘Study Group’ as he throws himself into the bloody college entrance exam at the worst school. The thrilling action and impact added to the ‘Himseujjin’ (a loner who hides his strength) Yoon Ga-min, who chose to fight to study, and the ‘Sweet’ growth period of students who each have their own stories to protect their study group, are expected to provide catharsis. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name.
The photos released by the production team stimulate curiosity about Lee Han-kyung‘s difficult adaptation to Yuseong Technical High School. Lee Han-kyung’s strong eyes as she stands in front of the classroom for the first time as a temporary teacher raise expectations for the changes she will bring to the lawless Yuseong Technical High School. Lee Han-kyung‘s wounded appearance, as if foreshadowing her spectacular life at Yuseong Technical High School, also catches the eye. Attention is focused on the reason why Lee Han-kyung entered the problematic school and the unpredictable events he will experience.
Lee Han-kyung, who dreams of changes at Yuseong Technical High School, is a strong supporter of the study group team members, including Yoon Ga-min. Han Ji-eun said, “I already knew the original work well, and it was a work I liked. There was no reason not to choose it,” and explained, “Contrary to her gentle exterior, Lee Han-kyung is a character with an inner self equipped with justice and loyalty. The fact that she knows how to move forward while looking only at her own beliefs is her greatest charm.” She said, “In order to express Lee Han-kyung, I acted with one thought in mind: ‘the reason I came to this school.’ I hope that this thought, which I kept in mind at every moment and acted with, was well-expressed.”
Han Ji-eun said, “It will be interesting if you watch it out of curiosity about what happens when a temporary teacher comes to a difficult school like Yuseong Technical High School,” and added, “It is a school drama with added excitement and comedy, so it is a work that you can enjoy pleasantly.”
‘Study Group’ will be released on Tving on the 23rd.
