The headline says it all --- the themes of this show are long overdue in its portrayal of the S. Korean HS life. Its the best show I've seen all year. Based on a Webtoon comic, Weak Hero is a unique take on the coming of age fighter tale as Yeon Si Eun uses his intellect and unbridled rage to fight and defend those who feel weak under the rules of society thus fall victim. Never has it been a clearer example of hurt people create more hurt people than in this incredible adaptation. Definitely a must watch for fans of South Korean Webtoon manhwas like Study Group, To Not Die and Viral Hit just to name a few.

Weak Hero Class 1 is a high school thriller series that follows the story of 3 students who doesn't care about anything else, and somehow gets involved in constant fights due to bullying.

Most of the school centric dramas are romance, which becomes monotonous watching after a certain point of time. Weak Hero Class 1,however, is a thrilling, yet sobering portrait of young students and the different struggles, difficulties and momentary joys they experience while growing up in a society that, too often, neglects and pushes them aside, that successfully stands out as one of the best dramas of 2022.

With just 8 episodes, the pacing is superb and the action sequences were well crafted. And perhaps what the series does best is to show the immeasurable toll such violence and abuse can take on one's physical, emotional and mental health. Especially for teenagers who may be experiencing other types of abuse, hardship and struggles outside of the school walls as well.

School violence is certainly not a new theme for a K-drama. But Weak Hero Class 1 is able to take that familiar topic and present it in a way that focuses more on the characters, particularly the victims, and show the unfortunately lasting effects of such violence. The best part of the drama were the 3 leads who had an amazing chemistry on screen and their change in characters once the events turned dark.

Adapted from a webtoon, Weak Hero Class 1 is engaging, highly effective action packed school based drama. The finale teases a 2nd season and yes I am very much intrigued to see what happens next.

My Rating : 8.5/10.

I am absolutely in awe by this drama, we have seen this theme of bullying used often in kdramaland but I don't think I have ever been as satisfied with the main leads getting justice for what they suffer ( maybe The Uncanny Counter)

The story is dark and painful and its a shame it's something that happens often in south korea but will move your heart countless times with the strong bond of loyalty and friendship between the leads and how they would continue to sacrifice themselves just to prevent harm from happening to their loved ones.

The performances in this drama are just so powerful.

The oscar goes without a doubt to Park Ji Hoon which completely transforms from candid roles like the one in Love revolution to this one. He plays a wounded beast, a beast that is caged in a weak body but who's soul is burning inside and that will never be extinguished. You just have to look at his eyes, the murderous gaze, filled with the wrath caused by the agonizing pain and the frustration of how much evil men can cause to others.

What a display of raw emotions.

But the other two leads are not left behind, the range of performances here are just outstanding.

Just impatiently waiting now for season 2 and I hope we will also see again some of the characters from this season, otherwise I would miss them dearly.

Ok i watched many many kdramas this year BUT WEAK HERO BEATED ALL OF THEM WALLAHI I COULDNT MOVE ON AFTER A MONTH EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO WATCH OTHER DRAMAS PLS HELPPPP WE NEED SEASON 2.

So what i like the most about this drama is just that the storyline didnt tangle a bit, you will watch the entire set of episodes in just one sitting because please its hard to stop the screen i swear. It ran so smoothly that i couldnt even wanna close my eyes to miss a very tiny bit of a scene. Some actors here may not be recognised by most people yet they could prove them they all acted as in theyre professionals. THEY AMAZEBALLS IN ACTING, all of them. Sieun may impressed most pf you but they all actually did. They didnt have many unimportant chats, they used emotion strongly and actions or fights as needed. Not over. What i love about the main of main, SiEun, is that he had kinda adlibs, when he did the slaps himself, it was his idea, same like the glass breaking scene. He just told to do so yet hed improve the action more than the director ask him to. He were possessed by his characters many times so youd amazed by how strong his feelings would touch you.

I honestly don't have enough words to describe how much Season 2 of Weak Hero Class meant to me. It's rare to find a show that hits so hard emotionally while still delivering intense action and brilliant storytelling. Every episode had me completely hooked - I felt every punch, every tear, and every quiet moment. The characters grew in ways I didn't expect, and I found myself caring about them even more than before.

This season wasn't just good - it was unforgettable. You can feel the passion and effort behind every scene. That's why I truly believe a Season 3 isn't just something fans want - it's something we need. There's still so much more to explore, and I hope the creators know just how powerful this series is.
