K-Drama
Both of these dramas show different aspects of youth that are often overlooked by those around them. Park Jihoon stars in them, and he does an amazing job with both characters. The relationships in both are also very intriguing and easy to grow attached to. Weak Hero is a bit darker in my opinion, but I still absolutely loved both shows.
Both are set in high school, and are cantered around a weak student becoming strong to fight, alongside their strong friend, against bullies..
Both are comedic
Both are bromances
Weak Hero may be the nicer show, however the friendship in Boys Be is more homoerotic (in my opinion). There are kinda innuendoes alluding that they’re lowkey more than friends. Kind of like a censored BL.

Minus the fantastical powers, we have very similar color palettes, filming techniques, story progression and overall vibe to both shows. Troubled teens compensating for their families difficulties in whatever way they perceive to be fit, navigating what they know of the world around them. Their narrow view of the world expands as events they experience quickly make that world more and more dangerous. High school dynamics, bullying and abuse, trauma, the formation of friendships - all similar themes explored in the shows, especially in the beginning. And obviously the close-up fight scenes, although more graphic in moving in my opinion.
