Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Kang Seok-Ho (Kim Su-Ro) is an ordinary lawyer and former bike gang member. He then takes a position to revive a third rate high school named "Byeong-Mun High School". To revive the school, Kang Seok-Ho needs his students to become accepted into prestigious universities. Because of this, Kang Seok-Ho decides to teach a bunch of rebellious students (Hwang Baek-Hyeon, Kil Pul Ip, Hong Chan-Du, Na Hyeon-Jeong, and Oh Bong-Ku). He promises to get five of them into their most prestigious colleges in the country. Kang Seok-Ho takes students who have bad scores, and guides them to improve not only their scores but their outlook on life.

One such student is Hwang Baek-Hyeon (Yoo Seung-Ho) a defiant and headstrong student who is similar to Kang Seok-Ho at that age. Their strong personalities causes them to have clashes, but gradually, Hwang Baek-Hyeon opens up to Seok-Ho's teaching methods and eventually becomes the best student in the class.

Agnes Sep 22 2020 4:28 am One of the best kdrama ever. Every single person who worked in this drama portrayed their character so perfectly. I loved the storyline and the acting too. Jjang?

Jinsu Sep 13 2018 12:49 pm Good job done by all actors but its feel like incomplete story. I mean they got succeed but their love story left behind.

Joe A Apr 20 2018 8:50 am Too sappy at times, of course, and the teaching methodologies seem ridiculously bad at times however the main actors, both adults and kids, are all likable and very good and the drama does a great job of portraying the tremendous drive and determination of this small group of students to learn as well that of the teachers to teach them plus care for them beyond just in the classroom.The virtues of this K-drama more than compensate for its flaws. I am really enjoying it.

Joseph A Apr 20 2018 8:27 am The girl gang group appears to be comprised of the other members of T-ARA, or it just my imagination?

bdxpelik Oct 16 2017 10:28 pm

checking the ages of all the child actors*

aaaand.... BOOM! Yoo Seung Ho is STILL the youngest!

kinda Oct 07 2017 7:27 am Na hyeon jeong is soo cute~ love her with baekhyun.. Honestly, Kil pulip is not pretty, and i really dont like her, sorry..

Jiyongs Wifeu Jul 20 2017 6:04 am Waaaahhhh! I hope Baekhyeon & Na Hyeon-Jeong end up together. ♥

Jiyeon Jun 13 2017 8:23 pm Best drama i ever see,

honey Apr 28 2017 8:41 pm i think this drama is good but dragon zakura is better

charm Jan 18 2017 10:51 am the best. That is all I can say. Dream high is my 2nd

na hyun jung Aug 04 2016 12:51 am yoo seungho and park jiyeon should reunite now

na hyun jung Aug 04 2016 12:46 am this drama help me study tbh and this is the first drama that completely giving out the tips to score better result... lol i mean in among school drama..despite the love story inside..

zimba Mar 30 2016 6:57 am This drama seems fun and interesting, it really motivates me about school and studying. And also Hwang Baek-Hyeon is so cute:)..... I wish there was more romance in the movie:(

eunnie Nov 14 2015 1:11 pm This drama is nice. I learnt many ways to improve my studies. And by watching this drama strengthen my friendship with my friends. This drama is beautiful and it nice to watch it again ☺☺

Lumin Jul 02 2015 10:56 am The below comment said it for me. I was like 11 too like B2uty haha this motivates me so much if there's a kdrama that i want to recommend, this comes to my mind :-) And then i suddenly like jdramas and anime just last year, i never knew that master of study was from dragon zakura. I just watched dragon zakura last month, June. If im gonna compare, dragon zakura is more better. I SWEAR :-) but for those who havent watched both, DRAGON ZAKURA AND MASTER OF STUDY (both dramas) IS A MUST. YOU NEED TO WATCH BOTH PLEASE

B2uty May 22 2015 6:45 am My first K-drama back in 2010.. When I was 11!!! Just rewatched it!!

Freedom Apr 14 2015 5:41 pm This series has proven to be quite effective. By just watching it, I really was motivated to study hard.

candra Aug 04 2014 8:34 am Dragon Zakura!!! ;)

Kayn Jul 31 2014 7:33 am the japanese version is better

shirelmae Jan 02 2014 11:10 am so much encouraging to the students like me just done watching it 1.45 in the midnught.. i cried so much for the heartbreaking finale, at first i watch the trailer i was intrigued and finally done watching 16 episodes.. im so happy for this lovely movie. i love it so much =D <3

harriett garin Nov 05 2013 3:39 pm Just done watching it...has many lessons from students,to teachers and esp family.It doesn't have to be that you're brainy or dumb as long as you study hard and has the strong will to survive the hardships you will achieve what you want.Maturity and setting goals in life helps a lot.We will learn from our teachers and goes the same as well to them..learn from students.

harriett garin Nov 05 2013 3:29 pm Just done watching it...has a lot of lessons for students,teachers and family.It doesnt have to be that you're brainy or dumb as long as you keep yourself to study hard and strong will to do hardships you will achieve what you want.Study the right way.We will learn from our teachers but at the same time it goes the same as well to them...i hope this kind of drama to be aired in my country.

Mitch808 Oct 20 2013 7:00 pm Just viewed the last episode on KBS. I've viewed this drama many times still enjoying it. The cast is the best of the best, It was really well script as well as written with great direction and production. It especially served as a great learning tool for study and college admission.

sajjad Oct 13 2013 5:27 pm I love this movie, actually I like Korean movies and I like the characters a lot. I hope I can see them in the future

Lola Oct 11 2013 12:48 pm I just love this drama. I love the actors and every thing else about it.It is just so awesome. I really love Baek-hyon.And what is that song again??

sangay karma tshomo Jul 29 2013 8:17 am i love this movie so much coz of dis movie i rele got hop to study hard........

Sama Jun 20 2013 12:56 pm God of study is a great drama I like it Park jiyeon and yoo seung hoo and others You were great in this drama I love you all Actully jiyeon FIGHTING !!!!!!!!!! ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

lorie Nov 22 2012 10:06 pm why this drama have only 5 students....its should be 6, i like dragon zakura much better...

CiCi Nov 14 2012 3:34 pm Why someone decided to call this "God" of Study, it doesn't make sense, but "Master" of Study is right on the money. Once I got over the first title and watched this drama, I was hooked. It is really good including the song, "Because I'm Weary". I am glad this film received at least a couple of awards and I agree that the director should have gotten one. I also think Yoo Seung-Ho should have gotten an award for his performance. Wow! What a talent. Kim Su-Ro was award- worthy too.Then again, the grandmother was amazing as well. I "LOVE" her! ( If she doesn't pull at your heartstrings, then you don't have one.) Also, her picture deserves to be among the main cast members. Someone, please do this, huh? Except for the over the top flamboyant teacher and the stu.. stu... stuttering Science nincompoop, who were a waste of my time anyway, everyone did a great job. I think even guys will cry watching this, it's that endearing and heartwarming in places.

rolypoly Oct 18 2012 7:52 am l like this drama.jiyeon is the best.fighting sister!l want to see her in more drama

Mhiel Feb 25 2011 2:43 am Yes, Kil Pil Ip is really not that pretty but there's something in her aura, a very light and positive that you cannot resist and she's cute!..really!..that's why i love her.. @suou: yes, it so romantic!..there glances really..especially in episode 12, when they're on camp, when Baek Hyun sang sung for Pul Ip.. They are my favorite!..there feeling for each other is so obvious and very strong yet Pul Ip tried to deny it to herself..hu hu hu..

love *o* Oct 06 2010 12:44 am OMG!!! I love this show. How i wish there is part 2!

ghina Sep 17 2010 10:58 am I love the srama this. soon I will face the first high school graduation exam and I have a weakness in the natural science lesson. I tried to follow the ways of learning in this drama and the results my rating increased little by little. approximately 6 months longer exam. thank you MASTER OF STUDY. I LOVE YOU Yoo Seung Ho Lee Hyun Woo MMUUAACHH .... Wish me OKEEE .........

Jasmine24 Sep 08 2010 12:25 am IT IS SO MY FAVORITE KOREAN DRAMA EVER!!!!!!i lovee the whole cast!!!!!i really love yeu-seong ho.. kil pulip and him are compatible!!ahaha just kidding!!i love master of study!!it is so the best!!!

precious kristine sapphire Sep 04 2010 11:01 pm I don't agree to them saying that kil pulip isn't beautiful, every person does have their own beauty and I think kil pulip portray her role very such a natural beauty. Does she had and it make her cuter than any one. Then I agree that kil polip have the chemistry with both Baek-hyeon and Chan-du so please don't criticize her so much cuz she's also a human being who do have a heart to be broken because of those fancy critisation you did!!! love you all!! mwahh!! i really, really love the story of master of study somehow I can reflect................

lun.3bi Jul 28 2010 11:18 pm I love soo kim ro ... I love his smile! because of this film he will go further ... we wait and see ... Death Bell 2 see him acting like any horror movies? TÔI LÀ NGƯỜI VIỆT NAM :))

monique.yay Jul 21 2010 10:14 am does chan something really like pi lup ? he doesn't show it. i'm confused.

rhaez17 Apr 29 2010 7:48 pm ..I love pulip and the two guys who like her you're just insecure for saying that pulip is ugly.. pulip has a more natural beauty no make up and no thingy thingy with her hair unlike other korean "I'm cute" like girls they are just looking cute because of their fancy clothes she is becoming more petty when you see her longer and her personality fits well with her role..

salliah Apr 19 2010 10:56 am agree me like PUL IP too, admire her personality. Sweet & cute too. Ko Ah Sung is great young actress with many praise of her acting. She suitable pair for Yoo Seung Ho & Lee Hyun Woo.

ariyane Apr 18 2010 7:56 pm ..oohhh.why some didn't like yu seong ho and ko ah sung tandem?...they are both great!!!and besides it doesn't matter if she isn't that beautiful, she's still cute and a good actress..CD and PL can be a good couple also..

Mhickey Apr 17 2010 8:20 pm Where i can find the list of all episodes of Master of Study??

*tiky* Apr 17 2010 3:00 pm i really agree i hate pulip i loveeee the drama drama the final epiosde made me cry and laugh at tne last scene i really love the smile of kim su ro but well like i said pulip is ugly and i don´t like her

sunshinechan Apr 16 2010 5:04 am The theme song is Dream Come True by 4minute.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWQWVVq2ITA

vindy Apr 13 2010 3:50 am Pulip is so cute, plus she is nice girl & have great chemistry with either Baek Hyun & Chan Doo, she make cute couple with 2 of them. Also her acting is very good, even Korean people love her. I can understand why both guys love her.

iluvyuseungho Apr 12 2010 6:23 am what?!!! you guys love pulip n say :" like beakhyeon pulip couple"!!! Can't believe it!!!!!! the truh is pulip is uglyn i don't like her either. Beakhyeon, he's so so so kute. So they can't a couple. But hyeon jeong n baekhyeon, they are same age they work together a few times, they so close. Plus, hyeon jeong is so cute too. So : baekhyeon hyeonjeong, the best couple ever.

bao anh Apr 12 2010 2:14 am i like this film best. i want to be ji yeon's younger sister

Azxran000 Apr 08 2010 8:16 pm ...! I really like yu seung ho and ji yeon,, they make a cute couple...............for ko ah sung ,,feel sorry for yah.....ur not pretty nor cute.....i really don't like you.... :)
