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.

Everyone
This Korean series is nothing like your usual rom-com K-dramas. It's a solid action–drama–thriller with a dark and emotional tone. The story dives deep into bullying, friendship, and personal battles faced by high school students.Our protagonist, Yeon Si Eun, may look physically weak, but he’s incredibly smart — especially when it comes to fighting. Honestly, his fight scenes reminded me of Sherlock Holmes-style strategy (like in the 2009 & 2011 movies) — calculated, precise, and brutal.
The show focuses on how Si Eun gets close to two classmates, Beom Seok and Young Yi, and how their friendship slowly develops. You also get glimpses of why Si Eun avoids people, his emotional struggles, and a bit of background on his friends too.
As the story progresses, the trio faces one challenge after another — getting pulled into fights, betrayals, and intense situations. The tension keeps building, and you can't help but root for them.
🔥 The show is gritty, emotional, and very different from typical K-dramas. If you’re into realistic, character-driven stories with dark themes, this is definitely worth your time.
I’ll rate this a strong 10/10. For both Seasons
💥 Give it a shot — it’s short, intense, and unforgettable

you need to watch!!
i think in an overall this show is amazing, the actors all did a great job portraying their roles. i think on a deeper level its a lot more than just boys fighting each other etc. if you understand it you can see their all struggling in their own ways. in my opinion it’s actually quite a sad kdrama. i’ve cried so many times watching this i think thats just because i’m so sensitive but as a person i relate so much to si eun so its hard to see him struggle. theres not one boring episode at all each episode has such an amazing storyline to it, and again the actors have all done brilliant, from right down to their body language to their facial expressions absolutely amazing. in all honesty im never going to recover from this show definitely a new favourite of mine it is 100% worth the watch!!! i really hope theres a season 3Was this review helpful to you?
Entertaining high school revenge story!
As the drama came out I watched it then, because I knew the ML actor from another very good drama and thought I gave it a shot! I enjoyed it. Though I thought, I´m to old for high school dramas, the action, and fast pased story is very entertaining. Sometimes the story get´s too violent, but that´s also, why the ending is so impactfull. I liked all actors, and I liked the music.I watched it now the 2nd time, because of season 2!

Wow
This drama made me question how other dramas will be able to compare. The main lead is amazing the way he is able to show emotion and look like the world had beat him down is truly incredible. I watched this with a friend and all we could talk about was how we wanted to protect him in some way. I think the growth between all the characters was really nice to see the action was so well done. I was constantly on the edge of my seat it was that good. I'm very impressed with this and I look foward to the second season.Was this review helpful to you?
A work of art with a brilliant cast
This show was devastating both times I watched it and after rating it 9 for my first watch, I have to raise it to 10 after a rewatch. This story is so well written and clever and casted absolutely perfectly. Park Ji Hoon did such an incredible, incredible job and his performance haunts me. I cannot wait for season 2 and I implore everyone to give this drama a chance! It's short, concise and excellent! Wht a brilliant work of art this story was, with fascinating and complicated characters who all played their roles perfectly!Was this review helpful to you?

I watched when it came out in 2022
First of all my english isn't the best and I apologise for any mistakes that I make going forward. So now talking about whc1, I honestly think the writing of this show is amazing, the detail put in to every scene by the writers and the way the actors portrait the smallest things amazes me. I also think that the osts chosen for this were amazingly placed through the series. Regarding watching it again, I have watched this series multiple times just waiting for the second season. And I also recommend it to every single person that I meet. Over all, of all the kdramas and none kdramas series that I have watched I think that weak hero class is the most touching and honestly the best one that you can watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Insanely good, short lived.
If you're like me, and you are currently binging kdramas, add this to your list. The characters are so deep and each of their personalities shine. The whole show made me laugh, cry, and worry. I have nothing bad to say about this show!! It is short, however I believe Weak Hero Class 2 is in the works!STORY - 10/10
A short story but hit all the right spots. There wasn't a moment in time where I was bored while watching this show. If you like action, fight scenes, friendship, and conflict, this is for you.
ACTING/CASTING - 10/10
I literally have nothing more to say about this. The casting was done PERFECTLY. I absolutely loved Suho as a character.
MUSIC - 9/10
The music was extremely well done and was beautiful. It especially hit during the more sad/emotional scenes.
REWATCH VALUE - 9/10
This drama was insanely good- because it is so short and fairly fast paced, it makes for a good watch any time you are looking to feel a strong sense of angst.
OVERALL - 9.5/10
I am looking forward to seeing where this drama goes from here. I really hope that the next season comes out soon! This is exactly what I am looking for in a drama. Male lead, brotherhood, angst, and emotion. Perfectly done.

Quiet Achiever
Loved this series. This was unexpected as I stumbled across it on YT. It's also on Viki.All the cast played their part well. The action flowed; the dynamic between each person was showcased well with the bad guys being just as much intricate as the good guys. The overall plot wasn't complicated. I love high school series and the ML was excellent in that his characteristics were basically robotic, emotionless pretty much, but you still got to see what was ticking on inside his head. You see the changes in his personality as he starts to develop empathy towards the people now closest to him. A bromance of sorts which I love this dynamic.
I'm anticipating S2 to be out (hopefully) this year.

Park Ji Hoon deserves the awards he got for this performance plus more
I absolutely loved this. Although the entire cast is amazing, Park Ji Hoon definitively made this series.I got into it within the first 10 minutes and couldn't stop watching despite knowing I wasn't going to be able to have the time to sleep - I even watched it again straightaway.
I connected to the characters almost instantly and was already telling people off or cheering for them within the first episode (in case its not obvious, I have a bad habit of emotionally over-investing in shows (and books)).
The storyline had me crying in the 2nd to last episode and Park Ji Hoon had me blubbering like a baby in the last episode - it was like I could feel his emotions as my own.
I would highly recommend this drama to anyone, its so good and so worth the sleep deprivation 😂
