[K-DRAMA REVIEW] - God Of Study


I, Now devote my time for you people to blog about this Korean Drama that I've recently [about a few minutes ago] finished watching! 

As you can see, the title is, 'God of Study',  'Master of Study', 'Lord of Study.' 

God of Study
I heard it was originally a Japanese manga named, 'Dragon Zakura' made back in 2005, woah!
[Checking it out soon].
                 
First of all, Let's start it off with the drama from my point of view.

When first viewing the drama, you notice a very determined and rash lawyer named Kang Suk Ho (Played by Kim Soo Ro) taking on the job of eliminating Byung Moon High school known for having  problematic students and named as a 'Rubbish, Toliet school.'

However, visiting the school, meanwhile walking in the corridors, he has second thoughts about eliminating the high school, thinking back to to childhood where he once studied in the very same school he was currently walking in, He gets a boost of manning up to helping teach these students with no dreams of the future and marches right up to the School's director, Jang Ma Ri and challenges her to a duel (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Just joking, but anyway, he somewhat ends up talking her into signing an agreement, letting him do anything he wants to the school.

Proving that the school is worth to keep, otherwise being demolished by a group of men who wants to get rid of the school for the sake of the citizens living inside the city/town who were complaining.

He creates a 'Special Class' inside the school, which contains five students, bluntly the worst five students in the school who were at the bottom of exam rankings and drags an awesome english teacher into this and makes her the homeroom teacher after she lost a bet with him.

Surprise, Surprise. Of course, he then gets all the students to participate in crazy things such as Study Camps, interactions with a Dramatic English teacher, Paranoid Science teacher, Charismatic Korean Language Teacher and an Aggressive Math teacher.

Although, all of the students, Baek Hyun, Hyun Jung, Pullp, Chan Doo, Bong Goo, at first, especially Baek Hyun, finds the idea of Kang Suk Ho trying to make them study hard to get into Korea's top university extremely bizarre and out of the world, they eventually go with the idea.

Through a long emotional drive, the drama ended with a clash and a bang, Three students successfully got into high-priority universities and the other two persuaded their dreams of dancing and art.

During this drama, there was also very obvious hints of romance between Baek Hyun + Pullp, Hyun Jung + Baek Hyun and Chan Doo + Pullp, a forking love triangle towards Pullp. Though, the drama ended without any re-mentioning of any of the pairings, I personally support Baek Hyun + Pullp but Chan Doo is still a cool dude ;w; don't hate me, Chan Doo!

The least appealing romance was probably between that other teacher, -can't remember his name- with Han Soo Jung, the english teacher. Very awkward, If you ask me. And the romance between Jang Ma Ri and Kang Suk Ho was extremely strange to me, though I reckon the love with one-sided from Ma Ri since Suk Ho and Soo Jung seemed like each other -or maybe it's just me- .

I can't even pick a favorite character from this drama ;w;

Overall, the drama was well-made, the actors were good in my opinion, the settings were at very relate-able places and the plot was forking excellent.

I give:

Overall: 7/10
Story: 7/10
Acting/Cast: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Inspiration Meter: 8/10
Forking Emotional Meter: 9/10
Wanting To Re-watch Meter: 6/10
