Was not expecting this to go the way it did
I had know knowledge of the story this is based on, so I went into this 100% blind. When I started this, I was so into it and thought it was going to be one of those found family sort of tropes. And that's exactly what I got in the first 4 episodes. The first 4 episodes lulled me into a sense of comfort and I really enjoyed seeing the friendships build in between all the violence.Then the last 4 episodes happened, and completely shattered that sense of comfort and my heart right along with it. Everything the first 4 episodes gave me was taken away by the last 4 episodes. It was heartbreaking seeing how quick Beomseok changed into a completely different person. And the result of that was absolutely devastating. This show was a huge rollercoaster, and I loved every second of it. (I have a thing for shows that make me sad and break my heart, and this did a great job of that)
I don't know if the next season will appeal to me as much with all new characters, but I know it follows the source material a bit more, since this was just a flashback to lead into the actual story.

Beomseok kadang tuh speak up juga gapapa loh
Jujur dari acting nya PJH udah ngga usah diraguin lagi lah ya, emosionalnya dapet banget. Dan dari beberapa drama pembullyan di sekolah, tipe korban yang ngelawan gini gue suka, sebenernya kalo disamaratakan ya kurleb gini-gini aja storynya, tapi persahabatan mereka tuh beda, dan yap, bisa dibilang gue rating drama ini bagus karena aktornya juga, story + aktor balance. PJH sama CHW di sini berhasil meranin Sieun dan Suho sebagai duo maut banget sih, as fans mereka gue seneng banget liatnya, chemistry nya tuh ada bangetWas this review helpful to you?
Upsetting but perfect ending
The series is well done almost on every aspect, great acting, good story, fantastic action and most important a perfect and reasonable ending, maybe most people won't be satisfied with the ending because they used to the happy endings which is on my opinion can destroy a perfect story, so all respects to the director and writer for going for what the story needs and not what people want.Was this review helpful to you?
I am Made of (Suppressed) Anger
GOSH! Let me heave a sigh first because I have been holding them while watching this drama!My scoring towards this drama is mostly driven by how the main character unleashes my hidden emotion. Yeon Sieun is not just having anger issues, I think he's a little bit insane in the head. The pacing for this drama is really good, it matches how Sieun thinks and the uneasiness in between it. Also, the action performed by Suho is really satisfying. And also, would like to give kudos to the character development of Bumseok. If someone asks me what are the titles of drama genres that I love, I'll add Weak Hero Class 1 after Extracuriccular on the list! Can't wait for the next season.

SO sad and SO good.
I watched this show like about two-ish years after it's release ( i think) and i regret not watching sooner.First off, i think no one could have done better than park ji hoon. His eyes are so sad looking, and it completely matches the vibe of this show. His acting was diabolically good and there's no complaints. Overall casting was a 1000/10 fr.
This show was hella good and i liked that each ep was compact and didn't leave me bored. It's a pity i was in a rush to finish the last ep, but it still made me tear up. I think that unfortunately, we won't see Suho in the next szn, but we can only hope.
I think it upset me that suho ended up so badly, which is why i gave it a 9/10, but a 10/10 could be granted if he comes back, idk how i feel if he's truly gone forever, it's not fair.

definitely rewarching it!!
this one is brutal at times and makes you really feel uncomfortable in certain situations and that comes from the actors, especially jihoon, who put an incredible performance. this drama made me feel a mix of emotions - warm, sad, angry, stressed. it really grabs alm the attentio and i binged the last 4 episodes. i was a mess at the end because the last 2 episodes made me cry so much. the characters made me have a soft spot for them - sieun and suho will always have a special place in my heart. i can’t wait for next season!!Was this review helpful to you?
A powerful, emotional thriller that proves brains can be as strong as fists.
Weak Hero Class 1 is a gritty, intense youth drama that follows Yeon Si-eun, a top student who uses his sharp mind and everyday objects to fight back against relentless bullying. Park Ji-hoon delivers a standout performance, portraying both the character’s vulnerability and calculating strength. With raw action, strong friendships, and an unflinching look at school violence, the series is gripping from start to finish.Was this review helpful to you?
action show
I actually really enjoyed weak hero class and it stays as one of my favourites. the main actors played there role very well especially si-eun and overall it is really good if you like action. it’s similar to study group so watch that too. I do prefer whc season 2 over season 1 but the storyline is really good! you can really feel the emotions when watching the show especially towards the end of the show and the characters play their role really well. this remains one of my top 10 kdramas so I recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

A Kick*ss Drama
WEAK CLASS HERO (Weak Hero Class 1) despite its corny name, was a pretty baller Kdrama. I went into this one not really expecting a whole lot, keeping my mind open, but ended up deeply intrigued.This was a pretty cool kdrama. The series is in the action / thriller genre and was very exciting! The characters and story make this series a very compelling and memorable one.

If u haven't watched this yet, you gotta watch it.
This is one of the most remarkable series i've ever watched.The main character doing all that for his friend Soo ho and Beom Seok is what real friendship means.
Beom Seok being a traitor is really shitty after all they did for him.
There are alot of fights and blood so it's not recommanded for those who don't like blood, but overall it's a really good kdrama.
This is a 10/10 rated kdrama and you gotta watch this if u love revenge, friendship, action, and hope.

Not for me, but the acting is great.
I think the performances were great, but there wasn't enough story here for me.I loved Suho! I thought his character was the saving grace in a series of characters that really weren't that likable, in my opinion. The ML is meant to have that quiet, brooding type of personality, so I can see arguing he wasn't meant to be likable. Doesn't change the fact that this series is 8 episodes asking me to follow a lead I just don't find interesting to watch.
It's mostly fight scenes - so I feel bad for the people in the comment section being told the series isn't that violent. What show did you watch?
This follows the common beats of stories about HS students being targeted by bullies/gang members, so you can predict what's going to happen. No real great writing for female characters (all 1 of them?) either. If it wasn't for Suho, I wouldn't have watched as many episodes as I did. The first 4 are pretty great, but the series fell off for me after that.
Considering Suho isn't in season 2, I'll be stopping here.
