Weak Hero Class 1

watched 12/23-25

not sure what i was expecting when i fist jumped into this but it wasn't bad at all i liked the buildup of the friendships in the beginning and the acting was incredible. i do prefer the first half of the show but the tension that happened afterward just showed how traumatic and life changing decisions around bullying and assault can change someone's life. it does get frustrating and hard to watch at times so i wouldn't recommend to someone who doesn't enjoy violent scenes as it shows in almost every ep. maybe im the only one confused but im not sure how soo ho ended up in the end? was he dead or did he survive? what i found most frustrating was how beom seok had so many chances to apologize and change his actions before he could hurt another person but just failed to do so in every chance he gets? i understand he was bullied several times & harassed by his own dad at home and i actually felt bad for him in the beginning but i feel like if he just talked things out with the group things would be different than they ended up being, which i feel like was kind of the whole point of the show (how bullying influences/ changes people?) anyways shi eun was such a good character and ji hoon was incredible

TEARS SHEDDED

Weak Hero Class. Where do I start?? So everything about Weak Hero Class is so amazing and unique, and the music all the way through casting is very good. Music is sad and gives you the good wave of depression, and Park Jihoon and Choi Hyun Wook (as well as Hong Kyung) did very well acting as their characters. Park Ji Hoon is PERFECT for Yeon Si-Eun, and Choi Hyun Wook is PERFECT for Ahn Su-ho, and same for Hong Kyung ( as Beomseok ) same for the rest of the casting. The ending is heartbreaking to say the least, I'm still recovering and this kdrama will ALWAYS and FOREVER be my #1. Story is just... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and sad, but let's not put that sadness in front of this review. Go watch it NOW because you hopefully won't regret it!! I RECOMMEND BY THE WAY!!

Emotional

I have yet to see another series top the bromance genre after this one. PARK JI-HOON'S ACTING?? The whole last episode had my jaw dropped. Not to mention his pretty eyes 🤭 Anyway, I loved Si-eun and Su-ho's friendship. Those two were a perfect match. The trio was basically psycho, fighter, weakling, and it was cute to see them all stand up for each other. The fighting really had me on the tips of my toes, so I'm rating this series HIGH. I went into this show only knowing Cha Woo-min and Choi Hyun-wook, and I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. All the actors were awesome. Only characters I didn't really like were Yeong-i and like the 2 sidekicks of Yeong-bin, but that's just cause they were annoying. That shows the actors did a great job making me hate them! I rewatched this several times, so I think this one should be a top show 🏅

An Emotional Odyssey from Weakness to Resilience

Weak Hero Class 1 is not just a drama but a testament to the power of storytelling. It's hailed as a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the indomitable human spirit transcending the typical high school drama tropes. I strongly encourage viewers to embark on this emotional journey, as it truly is an experience that lingers in the heart long after the final episode.

The drama's ability to balance intense action with profound emotion is highlighted as a standout aspect. Fight scenes are choreographed with precision, showcasing character growth and determination. Although full of fights and actions scenes the drama never loses sight of its emotional core, allowing the audience to connect with the characters on a deep level. It explores the power struggles within high school and although it might appear somehow exhagerated it portrays a realistic description of bullism. Seeing the characters getting their retribution gives an addictive feeling of immense satisfaction.

In the unyielding narrative of this drama, the refusal to subscribe to conventional notions of forgiveness becomes a powerful thematic element. The drama emphatically communicates that there's no necessity to extend forgiveness to bullies who perpetrate harm. Instead, it champions the idea that these tormentors will inevitably face their own retribution, delivering a sense of justice that resonates deeply with the audience. This stance, while unconventional, aligns with a broader message about standing resilient against those who seek to diminish us.

The drama imparts a resounding lesson: the indomitable human spirit is a force to be reckoned with. No matter our perceived weaknesses, we possess an innate strength derived from intelligence, resilience, and an unyielding will to overcome our limits and our deepest fears. Weak Hero Class 1 becomes a rallying cry, urging viewers never to cease the fight against those who attempt to push us down. The narrative invites us to recognize our collective strength, emphasizing that our intellectual fortitude and resilience can far surpass the limitations imposed by external forces.

In the face of adversity, the characters' journeys become a source of inspiration, illustrating that one's internal strength and determination can ultimately prevail over external threats. As viewers, we are encouraged not only to empathize with the characters' struggles but to internalize the message that we, too, can emerge stronger and more resilient in the face of challenges. Thus, Weak Hero Class 1 becomes more than a drama; it transforms into a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and a call to arms against those who seek to undermine our strength and potential.

The characters were meticulously crafted and flawlessly portrayed, with performances that are described as mesmerizing. My connection with the characters, from the timid protagonist discovering his strength to the charismatic antagonist masking vulnerabilities was truly heartfelt. Moreover, the cinematography and soundtrack were flawless, each of it was a true work of art that pictured in detail the true essence of each character's journey.

This drama is perfect 10 out of 10, a ride that won't be forgotten.

Mixed emotions

I did not think I would love-hate the series so much. While the story, acting is on another level, the harsh truth, bullying in schools/universities are downright insane. I cannot imagine the life of the bullied, how badly it affects their future. The leads and supporting actors have done a wonderful job in depicting the harsh reality. Its hearbreaking to see the end 😢

Although I wanted to drop it due to the violence, bullying, angst, the series kept me on edge every episode. Wish such actions reduce and students can have normal education life. I don't think I can rewatch as it seriously affects mental health
