Weak Hero Class 1

10/10

actually worth the wait, I just want season 3 now bc I’m more hooked than I already was .😭 The acting was amazing (like always bc you can’t go wrong with jihoon) and I liked the storyline even though it was different from the webtoon , but to be fair they did have to adapt it a bit to be more realistic. Overall I loved this show since before season one came out , and now watching season 2 I only like the show more. I would definitely recommend this kdrama to people (I already have). And I’ll probably be rewatching it a few times bc this show just genuinely makes me happy.

Another day another Ktruama

I really enjoyed it! The acting was great, and the casting was amazing. I loved most of the characters, and Su Ho and Si Eun's friendship was fantastic. Beom Seok really pissed me off; I hated how he betrayed them for basically no reason. Seriously, just because he was jealous that his little boyfriend made a new friend? I don’t care if his dad beats him—that’s no excuse to turn on your friends and literally “kill” them. I honestly wished Si Eun would have taken him down instead of the others because he was the main problem. But overall, I really liked this show and the friendships in it and can’t wait for season 2!

Heartrenching, enraging masterpiece

Tbh I’m a fan of the manhwa that happens to also watch kdramas etc, and let me tell you this was 100% it for both.
Plot wise it doesn’t cover the story of the manhwa but tells the story before the beginning of it. Bits and pieces of the drama have appeared in the manhwa in flashbacks and such but not, well, not THIS.
They took a story about a teen who facing tough times and his own genius, ends up making actual friends ready to stand by his side through everything and making the best casting choices I’ve seen to date brought it to life.
Every single actor have their moments and they all make you actually connect. The scenario is built in a way that kills your insides at the end but also makes you understand the manhwa in such a different light. Every reader have their own suspicions when reading but actually coming face to face with such a story and that, done through such acting, directing, everything is perfection.
Idk what else to say, honestly I’ve seen this one too many times.

I decided to watch this series due to admiring Hyunwook's acting during Twinkling Watermelon and wanted to work more of his works. He is an amazing actor and I really enjoyed both Jihoon and Hyunwook's acting in Weak Hero Class. I am very much looking forward to Season 2 of this series. Jihoon and Hyunwook have great chemistry and there is good bromance in this series. I am also looking forward to watching Ryeoun in Season 2 after watching him in Twinkling Watermelon as well. But this series is fantastic and Jihoon is a great actor and uses his emotions extremely well. This series deserves his high rating because it really is that good. I haven't read the webtoon so I can't compare the two but, Jihoon's acting and emotions just really ties this series together and creates an amazing series. I binged the whole series quickly because I was eager to know what happened next. Every episode was a journey and i'm glad there will be a season 2 to enjoy futher of this masterpiece.

Timeless School Action Drama: Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)

I watched *Weak Hero Class 1* right when it was released in 2022, and it instantly became one of my favorites. After recently finishing *Study Group*, it suddenly reminded me of this gem, so I had to come back and write a review.

The fight scenes are *superb*—intense, raw, and brilliantly choreographed. The acting is top-notch, especially by the main lead **Park Ji-hoon**, who absolutely nailed his role with quiet intensity and emotion. Choi Hyun-wook and Hong Kyung (Choi Woon-sik) were also fantastic—every character felt real and memorable.

I went into this drama with zero expectations and came out totally impressed. It’s gritty, emotional, and powerful—a perfect blend of action and heart. If you haven’t watched it yet, you're missing out. A must-watch for fans of school action dramas!

Now I’m *seriously waiting for Season 2*—this story deserves to continue!

One of the best kdramas I've watched in a while

Ima try to keep it sweet and simple, the actor portrays the protagonist so well, it really resembles the webtoon version (Gray) especially those eyes. they made Bryce (Beomseok) way too kind and gave him a bigger role than what he's supposed to have ngl... but it is the first season and it's all about his backstory so maybe they wanted to exaggerate it even more and give more depth to his character... because in the webtoon he's a piece of crap. Suho(stephen in webtoon) is easily my favorite character and quite literally is the reason why Sieun/Gray is who he is and where he's at right now. It's crazy to me that I've seen people acting like he doesn't deserve the hype, like hello?!

that being said,
don't come near me with a pen

Camaraderie

This is my second time watching this outstanding drama series!! I have not watched the webstoon yet, but I will because sometimes there may be something that the writer incorporated into the storyline that the drama had to omit due to guidelines plus after viewing the series I know it would be worth the read!!
All I can say without projecting any spoilers is to watch the magnificent series about “camaraderie.”
After watching this series, you’ll realize what true friendship means and you may even question your own “inner circle” of friends.
Trust me, you will not be disappointed….that
I promise you!!
I can not wait for Season two!!

I am looking forward to Season Two!!

one word: amazing!

The entire show was super engaging from start to finish. It was unpredictable. It had twist and turns I never would've thought were coming.

The acting was all excellent. Right before watching this drama, I watched My Dearest Nemesis. The fact that the ML in that was the same as Su-ho was crazy; completely different characters. the actor playing the main ML also did a wonderful job. I cried with him several times, especially at the end in the hospital room. The actor who played Baek Sung was also amazing. He made me both love the character and hate the character at the same time. I loved that all the characters were not fully good or bad. You could see where their motivations were coming from based on their experience of the world.

The music was fantastic. I generally skip credits and the opening for any K drama I'm watching. However, in this case, the music was so appropriate that I listen to it every time, and sat through the opening credits every single episode.

I would highly recommend this show to anyone.
