Best I've seen
I didnt see this until 2023 and I think this is my favorite so far. Binged it in one because I could not wait to see what would happen the next episode.Park Ji Hoon is incredible in this series. He has such an amazingly expressive face, especially his eyes. He absolutely carries it and the reason I also then watched 'from a distance spring is green.'
The reluctant between Si Eun, Soo Ho and Beom Seok is wonderful, they have great chemistry and their acting is very strong in this series. Soo Ho brings some much needed comic relief at times. It makes the heartbreak even worse for what happens in the end. The last two episodes are an emotional rollercoaster and I cried like a baby.
Absolutely worth the watch, just keep tissues at hand.

Our world in a Kdrama!
Ten stars in some eyes stands perfect. Nothing is perfect in thisworld, this show and the characters story showed us that better
than anyone ever could.
it showed that even if you have something people want it doesn't
mean you're happy. it doesn't mean you have the happiness which
people should be glad to have.
being silent doesn't mean you accept. accept all the things that are wrong in our world, in the fictional world nor the universe.
The next part of the text might be a little spoiler.. or not I am not sure, I wouldn't say it does but if it does I WArned you..
Beom (one of the characters) you know i hated you. I hate you, even though I understood
you, I understood you so well that it hurt. I watched as you burned
inside but instead of you extinguishing that fire you let it escape
and burn all those around you.
I know sometimes it easier to become the monster that you once
feared and ran away from . And I believe that humans are not born
bad, bad persons are born when life beats them up until they can't
see clear and they have nothing to feel. I don't want to believe in
monsters of birth but Beom still I stopped believing in you. I know
just you're lost. The darkness broke all the lights on the path you
chose, but I really hope you can light them again. .
the "might be a spoiler part end here"
It's true that the reckless violence in this story, it's not right and
seeing it makes me even more sad because our worlds in reality is
quite similar.
People shed blood until the other gives up. Some are ready to bleed 'till the other is nothing but a memory and some burned dust.
When you protect someone with the pounces you give and take it's blurs the line of wrong and right, and it's true nothing is just black and white. That's why I loved watching this show, thinking about
how the things the characters did were rightful or how they were
just so wrong and that why they broke me.
In the end I loved it. This was a little much to my brain and heart
because I cried and cursed so much because of certain
character(s) ... I am not pointing fingers here. okay!
If you like good acting,
a good story where the plot isn't too hard to follow
violence with really amazing fighting scenes
and maybe hating some characters and choosing sides I say watch
this series.... if you don't like those things.. then still watch it
watch it for Park Ji Hoon
okay thank youuu and byeeee!!!
have a good night I am going to sleepy sleep

this series has blown my mind!!
I went into this show for a normal korean highschool genre but what I got is way beyond I could have imagine. I directly watched it without synopsis and trailer and yes it has just blown my mind.Many K dramas have touched the subject of bullying but none were like this.
This show has gone to the depth of the reality. This shows depicts what happen when one does not give in to the bullying. What happens when one actually fights back.
This show puts forward two aspects of friendship. The one where you can give your life for your friend. And the one where you can also take life of your friend.
MUST WATCH !!!!!!!!!

If you can watch, don't lose time and go watch it.
My standards were pretty high with this one and it didn't disappoint me at all.-First of all, the cast: I already heard about Park Jihoon's talent but I had never seen any of his works and all I have to say is that I am AMAZED. His character is portrayed flawlessly and his eyes had me amazed the whole time. Likewise, want to mention Hong Kyung's acting (Oh Beomseok), which also mesmerized me. All the casting was done perfectly.
-The story might seem like one of these typical bullying stories at some schools but I think it goes way deeper than that and that's what fascinated me.
You get to be on the skin of the characters and you can feel them and understand them, even when they do morally incorrect things.
-It has many fighting scenes, which some people might dislike but I honestly liked it because it showed the depths of the characters and how far they could go when they lost control.
As I said before. If you have the time and the opportunity to watch it, go and watch it ASAP. It is truly a gem.

I haven't been watching lots of kdrama, but I happened to start this while I was bored. This is so damn good that I've now started watching more and more kdramas.WHC has good story, great acting and great casts.
The acting is really terrific, kudos to park jihoon for delivering sieun so well; someone whose only purpose in live was to study and get good grades, with a no-nonsense attitude in facing bullies and other people.
And then we got the 180 after Suho got hurt. Such amazing scenes in episode 7 & 8. Very well done.
I wish it had been longer, and I wish they banded together vs Beomseok's dad instead of having him as the antagonist, but I understand it was based on a manhwa. I don't fully understand why OBS did what he did, but I can't hate him either. Again, I wish we had explored more on their relationship, either between the trio or between obs & his dad.

Intense and immersive
The acting : the strongest point of this Kdrama. I will talk only about the main male lead of this drama but keep in mind that the others leads were exceptionnally great in their role too. I want you to discover it by yourself. Ji Hoon truly and exceptionanlly fits the character, and his acting is insane the way he conveys the emotions of a weak hero is so powerful.The story was great overall but I did not really like the story with the girl and her brother. The other stories were absolutely great!
The music fits the drama although I do not really appreciate the ost "hero" by meego. The others are great to listen and fits the atmosphere of the drama.
The rewatch value: No doubt the rewatch value is high. I cannot wait for the season two.

weak hero class 1000/10
episode 2 pa lang, mixed emotions ka na bakla, and also the betrayal .. iba ang nagagawa ng galit. This teach us that don't trust easily, even if close friends pa natin sila,we really can’t tell kung anong kayang gawin sayo ng isang tao they really can't control their own devil inside their own. And on the other hand, some friends are genuine and real. They would help you when you are in need, you needed to choose your friends carefully. I realized that, there’s nothing wrong about communicating your feelings to someone, mas mahirap pa if magkaroon ng mis-understanding kaya naging malala yung situation. Laking impact ng series na ‘to sakin, it might change my perspective about trusting people. From the 1st episode to the 8th episode (finale) it satisfied me a lot, kind of disappointed kasi bakit ngayon ko lang sya naisipan panoorin kahit na ik this movie way back 2022 pa. Park Ji Hoon deserves so much awards, and also pati production nila and lahat ng casts, ang galing nila umacting. seserve nila humakot ng award.
I’m looking forward sa s2 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
i have so much range kay seok sa episode 5 & 6, would you let your friend dīe? paying someone to béat up your friend just because you’re jealous? I am not invalidating bum seok though, sana manlang sinabi niya yung mga nangyari sakanya sa past for sure maiintindihan nila ‘yan, i kind of understand him in some point, even in a tiniest change of how my friends treat me I kind of overthunk it a lot. Throughout all his life he was underestimated by everyone. Misunderstanding really hits diff

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 incredibleWas this review helpful to you?
