Based on the popular webtoon of the same name (written by Shin Hyung Wook, illustrated by Yoo Seung Yeon), the K-drama has garnered immense attention since its adaptation was announced.

Hwang Min Hyun’s portrayal of Yoon Ga Min, as he gradually unveils his secret martial arts skills to protect his friends and fight against forces that disrupt his studies, is set to be one of the drama’s most thrilling highlights.
Yoon Ga Min comes to Yusung Technical High School, an infamous school packed with troublemakers. Despite the chaos of notebooks and test papers flying and shattered pencils scattering across the classroom, Yoon Ga Min’s gaze fixed on the blackboard, with a glint of madness in his clear eyes, hints he is pretty serious about studying.
The text, “Want to study with me?” heightens the excitement for the journey of a fighting prodigy striving to form a study group and achieve his dream of academic success.
The teaser shows Yoon Ga Min adjusting his black-rimmed glasses, leaping with all his might, and delivering a powerful punch.
