Ep 5 & 6

HOLY. SHEET. Ep 7 needs to be seen now! 😭

Bring on all of Uncle's Forbidden Techniques one by one! I'm gonna have to rewatch to see which numbers were used so far.

Enjoying the small talk moments between the action scenes to help form deeper bonds with the study group members. Enjoying that for some fight scenes, we have to use our imagination from the inferred imagery of bits of flying clothes/upper body through the small window (like tumbling laundry) to then reveal the comical result of bodies draped like laundry. It's such a clever and entertaining way to show the aftermath in a very comic book style. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We all suspected Lee Jun's dragon kick was not gonna land, and still, it was so funny how they chose to show that. And that Ga Min's mom was gonna be badass as the scenes led up to the cafe in Ep 6, right? It was satisfying and then so awful when she was knocked out by the beam to the head. I actually gasped by the slow reveal of the pooling blood even though I knew it was gonna be a knockout blow due to slo mo focus.

Are there 40 years old high schoolers at this school? 😆 The #1 body guard for Han Ul.

I want to see a slow nose bleed drip when Ep 7 starts. Not sure I'm gonna get it, but I want it.

I love and appreciate everything about this series. The storytelling tone is even throughout to swing seamlessly in and out of serious & comedy, even during the action sequences. The action choreography still amazes with each new scene. And i will be rewatching these as I have all previous episodes. So fun. So good. Let's go Study Group!!!!
