Okay, first up—we need to talk about Study Group. If you love underdog stories with epic fight scenes, this one’s for you.
💡 What’s the story?
Meet Yoon Ga Min (played by Hwang Min Hyun). He looks like a straight-A student, but plot twist—his grades are actually a disaster. Even worse? He’s stuck in a vocational high school full of troublemakers. But instead of giving up, he decides to fight (literally) for a better future.

Love Scout: The Office Romance That’s Giving Us All the Feels
Because Who Doesn’t Love a Slow-Burn Romance?
Let’s be honest—office romances in K-dramas always hit different. There’s something about that slow-burn tension between a boss and an employee that just keeps us hooked.

Kang Ji Yoon (played by Han Ji Min) is a total boss—literally. She’s the CEO of a successful company, but when it comes to basic life skills? Absolute disaster. Enter Yoo Eun Ho (Lee Joon Hyuk), her new secretary who’s basically perfect at everything.
At first, Kang Ji Yoon can’t stand him (classic enemies-to-lovers setup, anyone?), but as he proves himself to be the ultimate problem solver, she slowly starts falling for him. And we all know what that means—office romance chaos incoming.
