**"Chaotic, cathartic, and a brutal critique—juxtaposing violent survival with the pressures of the education system."** Study Group isn’t just another action-packed school drama—it’s a sharp dissection of an education system that feels more like a battlefield. Through a metaphorical lens, it captures the brutal reality of Korea’s cutthroat academic culture, where hierarchy and privilege dictate success. In a world where intelligence alone isn’t enough, Yoon Ga-Min’s desperate attempt to form a simple study group feels almost absurd—but that absurdity is exactly what makes the story so compelling. Violence here isn’t just for spectacle; it’s an allegory for academic survival, where only the strongest endure. With breakneck action, dark humor, and Gen Z irreverence reminiscent of _Bottoms (2023)_, Study Group doesn’t just entertain—**it fights its way to becoming this generation’s _Fight Club._**
