Weak Hero Class 1

I wasn't planning to watch this series b/c I felt some type of way about the bullying aspect. And a lot of teen/younger adult shows always seem to have that in them. However, I enjoyed the series mostly bc the cast is really good. The actors playing Su Ho and Sii Eun were absolutely fantastic. They played off each other very well! The bromance is top notch. The plot is intesting too and lot was being said about parental neglect and abuse as well.

Friendship at that age can be tough and navigating that is crucial. I only wished that Beom Seok's spiral had been fleshed out more than his perceived slight at Youngi being closer to Su Ho than he was. He had a ton on trauma b/c of his adopted family, especialy the father and being bullied at the prior school. He felt like he found his people and then felt slighted even though he had not been. I hate that the assemblyman got away with all of that.

I also, liked that certain things did not drag out like that loan shark/criminal nonsense. In another series we would have had to deal with that guy for 3 more eps!

Not sure if a 2nd season is needed but I will assume that the webtoon had additional pages and leave it at that.

At first, I wanted to give it 8 stars

I'm going to be frank and say that weak hero class is not a drama that stands out, but the emotions I felt watching this consequently lead me to giving this a slightly higher rating than I initially planned. If you know me, my favorite type of story is one that makes me cry uncontrollably to the point where I have to pause and rethink my whole life. This was exactly what I needed.

Starting off with the bromance between Shi Eun and Soo Ho, I think I loved that part the most. The way they would sacrifice themselves for each other just so the other could be safe from harm's way is the sweetest. Though, at the same time a vicious circle of revenge. Their friendship runs THAT deeply. A small detail I noticed is when Soo Ho came by Shi Eun's house after knowing he was beaten and said: "I'm thirsty. Give me some water," hinting to the moment where their relationship started. I was like: "OMG, the parallels!". I also SOBBED at the ending. God, the amount of grief I felt when I thought Soo Ho died. Luckily, he didn't. However, HE ISN'T GONNA APPEAR IN WHC 2??? I'm feeling sad once again. Anyhow, definitely one of the best bromances out there! I do wish we got to see more of them.

The characters are really interesting while simultaneously being the most insufferable people ever. Istg, sometimes (this means always) I just had the urge to slap Beom Seok in the face. I do appreciate his character to a certain extent, but mostly it's just a feeling of hatred. My favorite character would be Shi Eun. At first glance, he looks weak (that's why bullies pick on him). However, he uses his environment to his advantage to incapacitate the ones who beat him up. He was also surprisingly empathetic towards Beom Seok even after finding out he helped almost-killing Soo Ho. Nevertheless, he's not the nicest because how he's using his pen to fight is gruesome. Park Ji Hoon portrayed him amazingly. Now about Soo Ho, I really love him and the nonchalant way he dodges strikes. I love how he's always taking a nap while in every single class that he's in.

Normally, dramas about bullying and fight scenes (I do like fight scenes but not when it's in combination with bullying or when it overrides the plot) are not really my thing. I prefer thrillers, political intrigue and slow-burn romance. Even so, this is an exception.

Bromance and Violence

I didn't join the hype when this was aired years ago and only decided to watch when I saw that there was gonna be season 2. Their friendship was really wholesome and I love their bromance, it sucks that it was short-lived. I had hoped all 3 of them will fight the bullies till the end but I guess that would be too cliche.

I hate that the good guys (Si Eun and Su Ho) ended up in worse situations while the bullies got away with it without having to pay for real consequences (except for Si Eun's rampage) And the dad which is the real villain in Beom Seok's life. All because he has power and money. Just like irl huh.

Man, my heart aches for their friendship for what happened to all 3 of them. I wasn't expecting it would turn out the way it did. Also, damn. The episode 8 ending. Give Si Eun a break. He's out of the fire into the frying pan.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to season 2!!

porque no la había visto antes que onda ??? neta véanla

vi demasiadas ediciones en tiktok pero no le daba la oportunidad porque no me llamaba la atención que fuera sobre estudiantes o tenia el pensamiento que solo fuera el prota sufriendo de bullying pero no, el prota realmente es muy bueno, tiene desarrollo y carácter a su manera (me gusto que a pesar de no ser un suuuper peleador el prota pensaba en que utilizar a su alrededor y la leyes de la física para dar una buena pelea a su oponente) ese detalle me pareció bastante interesante.

tengo un amor-odio con beom seok, no justifico para nada la manera que actuó con su ho porque de verdad que se pasó, como me lo vas a mandar a que tenga un accidente, luego contratar para que le peguen y dejarlo en coma :/ pero neta que hay muchas cosas con las que me identifico con el personaje (lo de mandar a coma nop) la manera en que queria encajar, tener un grupo de amigos, ser notado, eso me hizo sentirme parecida a él. yo creo que si pudieron ser celos, envidia o el pensamiento que tuvo al ver como la tipa yeong rápidamente se relacionaba con su ho y con si eun, como a ella le resultaba facil tener una amistad con ellos (ventajas que tienen los extrovertidos) ahí siento como él beom pensó“porque con ella si y conmigo no” (van a decir que nomas por eso pero siento que el personaje de beom es complejo y necesita ser comprendido, por la vida que llevaba, el bullying y sus inseguridades, eso es lo que lo hizo sentirse y pensar de esa manera)
tambien tenía demasiada empatía por la forma en la que lo trataba su padrastro neta q ojete el viejo

el personaje de su ho me gustó demasiado, la forma en que se relacionó con si eun, su ho era muy optimista a pesar de la vida que tenía (me dio sentimiento saber que dormía en la escuela, se bañaba ahí y en las noches fuera a trabajar) que impulsaba a si eun a hacer cosas que no hacía, los consejos que le daba, que lo defendiera, VIVAN LOS NOVIOS 🗣️ quisiera tener un su ho en mi vida la neta.

me gusto demasiado la relación que tenían los tres, como se fue dando y por el mismo motivo me dolió el saber como acabó, su ho en coma por beom seok y si eun en medio de la situación entre sus dos amigos ;/ neta que extraño a los tres siendo amigos.
OBVIO LLORE DEMASIADO CUANDO SI EUN ESTÁBA EN EL HOSPITAL LLORANDO POR SU HO me destrozo esa escena y jamás olvidaré lo que me hizo sentir (soy una fokin llorona y me pones eso obvio me deja sin estabilidad, ok?)

que buena actuación del prota, realmente me hizo llorar, reflejaba muy bien las emociones que queria transmitir, awww tenía unos ojitos bien tristes (neta que me daban ganas de llorar) obviamente me emocione demasiado cuando lo mire sonreír por primera vez, tambien cuando se entera quienes estuvieron cuando dejaron en coma a su ho y va a buscar a cada uno para pegarles, ufff neta que el coraje se nota demasiado, en esas peleas logra transmitir la furia y sentimiento por lo que le hicieron a su ho, neta que super buen actor, me gustó su actuación:3

pd: esto definitivamente es un bl, verdad? porque había DEMASIADA QUÍMICA entre su ho y si eun, neta que faltó un besote, ya bésense y de paso a mi 🫦

definitivamente lo recomendarían y me lo volvería a ver, buen drama de peleas, así que miralooooo de una que esperas chaval.

A Raw, Gritty Look at Youth and Survival”

Weak Hero Class 1 is a gripping drama that stands out for its raw intensity and grounded storytelling. What impressed me most is how it portrays strength not through sheer power, but through intelligence, strategy, and an unrelenting will to survive. The series doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of school violence, yet it balances those moments with deep character development and bonds of friendship that feel earned. Park Ji-hoon transforms in this role, showing remarkable depth and vulnerability beneath the character’s cold exterior. It’s a hard-hitting watch, but one that leaves a lasting impression about courage, loyalty, and the unseen battles many face.
