Study Group Plot
The plot of the Kdrama follows the student Yun Ga-min who looks like a model student but is unable to show the same when it comes to his grades. Despite studying hard and diligently, he is unable to bring better grades and with the college entrance exams getting close, his desperation to do better only increases. Adding on to this, studying at the school which is known to be among the worst schools to study at, only makes matters worse for him.
Despite all this, he forms a study group to help counter his bad grades. But when his study group friends are bullied by others, Ga-min doesn’t hesitate to remove his glasses and show them what he is good at.
