On the 30th of last month, episodes 3 and 4 of the Tving original ‘Study Group’ (directed by Lee Jang-hoon and Yoo Beom-sang, written by Eom Seon-ho and Oh Bo-hyun) were released. Yoon Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun) who unsealed ‘Uncle‘s Forbidden Technique’ to save the last member, Lee Joon (played by Gong Do-yoo) caught everyone’s attention. In addition, Lee Han-kyung (played by Han Ji-eun) declaring that she will put Pi Han-ul (played by Cha Woo-min) on the leaderboard foreshadowed a full-scale showdown with Pi Han-ul, the absolute power of Yooseong Technical High School.

‘Study Group’ is a work that clearly preserves the cheerful flavor of the original work (webtoon) and maximizes the pleasure of the genre by including dynamic scenes. Yoon Ga-min‘s refreshing action and unexpected charm that explodes at every moment of crisis are the points to watch for in the work. Thanks to this, Tving evaluated that “‘Study Group’ ranked first in the number of weekly paid subscribers” and is “leading the influx of new users in earnest”.

Meanwhile, in episodes 3 and 4, Yoon Ga-min and Kim Se-hyun (played by Lee Jong-hyun) rush to the classroom where there is a new applicant and find Lee Ji-woo (played by Shin Soo-hyun) being bullied by Kim Gyu-jin (played by Jin Woo-jin), a member of the study group. The video of her twin brother Lee Hyeon-woo (played by Park Yoon-ho) stealing turned out to be her weakness. Yoon Ga-min infiltrates the study group’s office after receiving an earnest request from Choi Hee-won (played by Yoon Sang-jung), who wrote the application out of concern for her best friend Lee Ji-woo, and succeeds in destroying the USB containing the video and the computer itself.


Lee Joon, who was impressed by Yoon Ga-min‘s fighting prowess, appeared in the study group where only the last puzzle remained. Yoon Ga-min suggested a test that wasn’t a test to confirm Lee Joon‘s sincerity about studying. However, an unexpected crisis came. Lee Joon, who had remained in the library and was solving the problems Yoon Ga-min had given him, followed Oh Jang-ho (played by Kim Min), a scout from the Yeonbaekpa standing army, who mistook him for Yoon Ga-min, to the testing center. Lee Joon’s impersonation of Yoon Ga-min was quickly exposed by his skills that were different from the rumors, and at the moment of crisis, Yoon Ga-min appeared like a hero, shouting, “Lee Joon, you passed the study group test.” Yoon Ga-min recognized Lee Joon, who had solved all the problems without guessing and earned 24 points, as a formidable study rival and accepted him as a member of the study group.

Yoon Ga-min unsealed ‘Uncle‘s Forbidden Technique No. 1 One-sided Beating’ to save Lee Joon and subdued Oh Jang-ho. In this way, Yoon Ga-min completed the study group and it was recognized as an official club. However, the meaningful ending where Yoon Ga-min heads to ‘Manikgo’ instead of ‘Manilgo’, the destination for the study group’s first activity, the exchange meeting, foreshadows another spectacular story.

Episodes 5 and 6 of ‘Study Group’ will be released on the 6th.
