God of Study

Based on a highly popular Japanese manga, God of Study is a compelling underdog story of competition and romance. Kang Suk Ho may not be the most successful lawyer, but the last thing he expects is to be called back to his old high school. Run-down and full of slackers and teenage delinquents, he is called in to deal with the administrative details of the school being shut down—he has no idea it will change his life forever. While wandering the school halls, he is touched by the plight of the students who, like him, come from mostly poor families and bad situations. He strikes a deal with the school board, and they give him a year to turn things around. Suk Ho picks troublemaker Hwang Baek Hyun, sweet Gil Pul Ip, headstrong Na Hyun Jung, rich slacker Hong Chan Doo, and lazy Oh Bong Goo as the five students he must somehow help get accepted into Korea’s top university. Soon, this group of five mismatched students have formed an odd bond that results in romance, conflict, and even miracles.
