The Tving original drama Study Group episodes 3 & 4 continue to impress with its action-packed story and intense character dynamics. Written by Eom Seon-ho and Oh Bo-hyun and directed by Lee Jang-hoon and Yoo Beom-sang, the series follows Yoon Ga-min, a student who wants to excel academically but is better known for his fighting skills. The latest episodes bring unexpected twists, intense battles, and deeper character development.
A High-Stakes Confrontation
Episodes 3 and 4, released on January 30, take the tension up a notch. Yeon Baek-pa takes notice of Yoon Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun) and tries to recruit him. Kim Min portrays Oh Jang-ho, a scout for Yeon Baek-pa, whose presence adds a sense of danger to the story.
A misunderstanding leads Oh Jang-ho to mistake Lee Joon (played by Gong Do-yoo) for Yoon Ga-min. He invites him to a brutal test to join Yeon Baek-pa’s reserve forces. However, realizing the mistake, Oh Jang-ho becomes aggressive. Just as the situation escalates, Yoon Ga-min arrives with Lee Ji-woo (played by Shin Soo-hyun) and Park Gun-yeop (played by Hong Min-ki).
The fight that follows is intense. Oh Jang-ho dominates the battle, easily countering Yoon Ga-min’s attacks. But when Yoon Ga-min realizes his friend is in danger, he unleashes a forbidden technique. This move turns the tide, knocking Oh Jang-ho out. The episode ends with the arrival of the police, called by Kim Se-hyun (played by Lee Jong-hyun) and Choi Hee-won (played by Yoon Sang-jung), leaving the audience eager to see what happens next.
Building the Study Group
The foundation of the study group is finally set. Lee Ji-woo, Choi Hee-won, and Lee Joon join Yoon Ga-min, each with their struggles and motivations. The journey isn’t smooth. Lee Ji-woo faces bullying, with Kim Gyu-jin (played by Jin Woo-jin) using a video of her twin brother’s mistake as leverage. Yoon Ga-min steps in, taking down Kim Gyu-jin’s group and retrieving the evidence.
Lee Ji-woo’s decision to join the study group comes after a personal struggle. She visits her injured teacher, Lee Han-kyung (played by Han Ji-eun), and finds the courage to move forward. This moment adds depth to her character, showing her growth and resilience.
Meanwhile, Lee Joon, impressed by Yoon Ga-min’s skills, applied to join. However, Kang Tae-oh (played by Seo Min-je), the top first-year student, mocks him. Yoon Ga-min, not one to back down, challenges Kang Tae-oh. One punch later, the situation is settled.
The final test for Lee Joon is unconventional. Instead of fighting, Yoon Ga-min leaves him with a set of problems to solve. While working on them in the library, Oh Jang-ho arrives, mistaking him for Yoon Ga-min again. This sets off another intense moment, but Yoon Ga-min intervenes just in time. He acknowledges Lee Joon’s effort, marking his official entry into the study group.
A Club Recognized, but Chaos Ensues
With five members, the study group is now an official school club. But things are far from peaceful. Yoon Ga-min, nervous before the group’s first meeting, ends up at the wrong school. Meanwhile, Lee Han-kyung exposes Pi Han-ul (played by Cha Woo-min) as the mastermind behind Lee Hyun-woo’s troubles.
The power struggle at Yooseong High School intensifies. Yoon Ga-min, now a key figure in disrupting the school’s hierarchy, catches the attention of Pi Han-ul. This sets the stage for even bigger challenges ahead.
Study Group episodes 3 & 4 keep delivering high-energy action and compelling storytelling. The blend of friendship, rivalry, and personal growth makes each episode a gripping watch. With the study group now complete, new battles and challenges await. How will Yoon Ga-min and his team handle what comes next?
