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.

I went into this show for a normal korean highschool genre but what I got is way beyond I could have imagine. I directly watched it without synopsis and trailer and yes it has just blown my mind.
Many K dramas have touched the subject of bullying but none were like this.
This show has gone to the depth of the reality. This shows depicts what happen when one does not give in to the bullying. What happens when one actually fights back.
This show puts forward two aspects of friendship. The one where you can give your life for your friend. And the one where you can also take life of your friend.
MUST WATCH !!!!!!!!!
POV - Binge it.

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.

This isn't your typical high school drama.
No crushes. No fluff. Just grit, trauma, and survival.
Yeon Si-eun (Park Ji-hoon) is the kind of character who looks weak-skinny, pale, top student-but when cornered, he becomes terrifyingly strategic. He fights not with fists, but with intellect and intent. Every move is calculated. Every blow has purpose.
He's not just fighting bullies-he's fighting a system that rewards cruelty and punishes silence.
--- Why It Hits So Hard:
Brutal realism: The fights are short, messy, and raw. You feel every hit.
Cinematic quality: It looks and sounds like a film, not a web series.
Three-dimensional characters: You're not watching good guys vs. Bad guys. You're watching flawed boys forced to grow up fast.
Themes: Power, loyalty, betrayal, and the violence beneath the surface of society.
--- What Stays With You
The friendship between Si-eun, Su-ho, and Beom-seok?
Heartbreaking.
It starts as a glimmer of hope-and ends in pure devastation.
The transformation of Beom-seok is a masterclass in how trauma mutates into something darker when ignored.
--- Standout Performances:
Park Ji-hoon (Si-eun): Cold, precise, yet quietly emotional. A revelation.
Choi Hyun-wook (Su-ho): The loyal bruiser with a soft heart.
Hong Kyung (Beom-seok): Possibly the most complex and tragic arc.
--- This show isn't about glorifying violence.
It's about what people become when no one protects them.
And in that silence, how some people rise-while others fall.
If you're tired of polished heroes and one-dimensional villains, Weak Hero Class 1 punches through the clichés and leaves a lasting bruise.
It's not just a show. It's a gut check.

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.
