Aired in early 2010 on KBS2 with a runtime of 16 episodes, God of study received a positive response from viewers both domestically and internationally.
Unlike other coming-of-age dramas that focus on high school romance, God of study focuses more on learning secrets, friendship, teacher-student relationships, and the efforts of students who are considered bad at studies. Looking at the average rating of 23.3%, with 26.3% being the peak, perhaps there is no need to explain how popular this drama was.
It’s been 14 years, let’s take a look at where the main cast of God Of Study is currently at.
Go Ah Sung
In God of study, Go Ah Sung plays Gil Pul Ip who is in trouble because his mother is having an affair with a married man. In the classroom, Gil Pul Ip is an outgoing and hard-working student. Both male leads are played by Yoo Seung Ho AND Lee Hyun Woo has secret feelings for Pul Ip.
His visuals may not be the most outstanding of the cast, but he is Go Ah SungIt is the natural and lovely acting that has made this character much loved, leaving a strong impression on the audience.
Thanks to your hard work over the years, Go Ah SungThe ability has been recognized in the industry. Go Ah Sung is not a top actress in terms of audience popularity, but she is highly regarded by industry professionals.
Go Ah Sung’s acting awards are also impressive. In addition to winning Best New Actress in TV for the drama film Heard It Through The Grapevine at the 2015 Baeksang Arts Awards, she was also nominated 3 times for Best Actress in Film at the Baeksang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon when she was under 30.
Currently, Go Ah Sung greets viewers again with his latest return to the small screen in the MBC drama Tracer, starring alongside Im Si Wan. Tracer currently has a fairly stable rating above 7.5%.
Yoo Seung Ho
The character played by Hwang Baek Hyun Yoo Seung Ho he was always our favorite high school heartthrob. Not only does he have bad boy style, but he’s also smart.
Hwang Baek Hyun is undoubtedly one of the most memorable roles Yoo Seung Hohis acting career. Starting out as a child actor, Yoo Seung Ho has everything you need to be successful, from appearance, to skills, to experience. However, his career shows signs of slowing down as he always seems to choose the wrong scripts.
From MBC The Emperor: Owner of the Mask in 2017 the works in which he starred did not have significant success. The most disappointing is probably that of tvN Memorist in 2020 with an average rating of just 2.836%. His ongoing drama Moonlight had a promising start with a rating of 7.6%, unfortunately it was unable to keep up and in the last few episodes it only recorded ratings around 5%.
Yoo Seung Ho‘s talent has always been recognized, but he needs a better hand in choosing scripts. His dramatic choices did not benefit his career as Korean viewers nowadays placed the importance of the script above the images or reputation, even the acting of the cast. Therefore, hopefully Yoo Seung Ho will accept better offers in the future.
In 2022, Yoo Seung Ho decided to take a break from acting in TV dramas and revealed the reason during his participation in the program Off the grid.
In an interview, Yoo Seung Ho explained why he joined Off the grid: “I feel like I often only appear in scripted situations. There are times when I find myself not knowing what to say without a script. Therefore, I want to change. I’m curious what I look like when I’m not acting.
In 2024, Yoo Seung Ho made his return to the screen. Therefore, Yoo Seung-ho will play Walter, an LGBTQ man living a time-limited life, in the comedy “Angels in America – Part One: Millennium Coming Up”, showing an unconventional appearance and careful inner transformation.
Lee Hyun Woo
Hong Chan Doo – the character who Lee Hyun Woo He plays an extremely nice student with a dazzling smile and a burning passion for dance in this drama. He and Hwang Baekhyun are two male students who fell in love with the female character played by Go Ah Sung.
Lee Hyun Woo AND Yoo Seung Ho they have a lot in common. Both are the same age, they were child actors, and their careers after “God of study” were not as successful as expected. Some of his outstanding works can be mentioned as Moorim School (2016) e The liar and his lover.
At the age of 29, Lee Hyun Woo fans expect a decisive turning point. His future projects such as the two films”Dream”, “Dog days” and the Korean version of the Netflix opera – “Theft of money” they all received high expectations. Lee Hyun Woo he has good looks, experience and good acting skills, he deserves a better career than the current one.
In 2024, Lee Hyun Woo joined the project “A Good Day to be a Dog”, starring Cha Eun Woo and Park Gyu Young.
Park Ji Yeon
The success of God of study seems to be a large shadow, making it difficult for actors to overcome in subsequent films. Park Ji Yeon as the pretty student Na Hyun Jung is an example. Except for “Dream High 2”which is said to have been quite successful, other projects are protagonists Park Ji Yeon for example Let me hear your song, imitation everything failed miserably.
Because of the conflict between the old members and the new member Hwa Younghis musical career with T-Now it was interrupted just as it was reaching its peak. However, she was lucky in love. This winter she is getting married to a baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun and their good news was announced on February 10th. After nearly 15 years of working in the entertainment industry, perhaps a peaceful and happy family life is the final destination that Park Ji Yeon he’s aiming.
On December 10, 2022, Jiyeon officially got married to famous baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun. He was born in 1987, so he is six years older than his wife. Jiyeon, the youngest member of T-ara, is the first of the group to get married. The female idol’s happy marriage has received a lot of blessings and support from fans.
However, two years after their wedding, on October 5, the South Korean entertainment industry was abuzz with the news that singer and actress Jiyeon and famous baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun had filed for divorce.
South Korean media initially did not reveal the reasons for the couple’s separation.
Later that afternoon, Jiyeon’s lawyer, Choi Yuna, issued an official press release stating, “The two parties have been unable to overcome their differences and have agreed to divorce after a period of separation. They filed for divorce mediation in the Seoul Family Court.”
Jiyeon also released a statement: “First of all, I apologize for giving you this sad news. We have agreed to proceed with divorce mediation. I hope you understand that I cannot provide a timely statement. I will do my best to come back to you with a better image in the future.”
Bae Doo Na
From the role of an enthusiastic English teacher, after 12 years, Bae Doo Na she has become a true star of the Korean entertainment industry and an internationally influential actress. Bae Doo Na not only resonated with impressive domestic films like “Take Care of My Cat”, “Secret Forest”, AND ‘Kingdom’, But Bae Doo Na he also made a big impression thanks to his international works such as ‘Sense 8’, ‘Cloud Atlas’, OR “Jupiter Ascending”.
The last series he participated in was called “The silent sea‘. Although the series did not meet audience expectations, Bae Doo Nahe is acting “The silent sea” However, it was much appreciated. In the near future, Bae Doo Na will continue to showcase its international reach through Netflix’s sci-fi film titled “Rebel moon‘, produced by renowned writer and director Zack Snyder. Bae Doo Na he is truly one of the brightest representatives of the Korean film industry in the international arena.
It is clear that after 14 years, the female cast of “God of Study” has a more stable overall situation than the male cast, both in terms of career and personal life. Yoo Seung Ho AND Lee Hyun Woo They are two very talented actors so I really hope they regain their strength soon and have a successful career in the future, as the audience expected from them.
