Oh. My. Gosh.

Holy crap this drama is raw and dark in the most beautiful way possible. I'm so happy this drama has the popularity it does because it completely breaks the boundries of what a kdrama is. Show casing the realities of bullying in Korea as well as mental health and just overall the CHARACTERS are so fleshed out and so real. I couldn't help but to cry for all of them. Please please give this a watch!

My sister's favorite kdrama, who talked about it a lot and introduced me to Mr. Jihoon (the dwarf ily). And because I was constantly coming across reels on ig, one beautiful day (today) I decided to watch it and it was divine. I laughed, cheered, cursed and cried. I haven't had anything like this happen to me in a long time and that's why I can still recommend it! And that's not to mention the acting skills, because as my sister says IT'S NOT YOUR GENRE I really liked it and I hope we get a second season soon. Thanks sis xdd

Fandom rant

I feel like to actually enjoy this drama you need to be more immersed in the story than your average action focused dramas.

I mean, to get the full experience, it's best to read the weak hero webtoon. Although you'll be quite disappointed in the live action, so I recommend watching it first and THEN reading the webtoon version.

I really liked how they gave beomseok such a realistic character and it became quite difficult to hate him. (Not for most people, but me at least...)
I could go on for HOURS taking about him, his motives, his feelings, his thought process.

But most people in this fandom dont appreciate that. They only like you if you ship suho with sieun, and oh boy don't even get me started on how annoying this is.

They dumb down their entire characters as just them being in love with each other, and also SWEAR they're canon, because the director said it!! I promise you we do not care. They would be canon if they had romantic dialogue in the drama itself. Where is that? Nowhere. They also swear weak hero is a bl which I find hilarious lol.

Anyhow. This is just me ranting about the issues within the fandom...so spare yourself from joining really. There is nothing interesting in here only people shipping jihoon and hyunwook mindlessly, making sexual comments on them, and overall they're just weird and disgusting. Not worth wasting your time in reasoning with them.


[Rant below contains season 2 characters/spoilers]

The webtoon has a decent fandom, they're quite the opposite. The ships vary and they don't execute your first born for not shipping Gray (sieun) x Stephen (suho). Actually, Sieun x Seongje (wolf) is quite popular. But the ships aren't the point anyway, I'm just pointing it out!

We do miss the webtoon characters. Jake would've been a smart addition to the cast as they could've progressed Seongje's character with him. But I guess 8 episodes weren't enough for so many character arcs so its understandable somewhat... Seriously, should've been a 16 episode per season drama.

[HUGE SPOILER]
Also, I really really didn't like what they did to baekjin's character. They killed him off right when he got interesting. Seriously? They did not even explain ANYTHING about his backstory or even his motives. That made me frustrated. He could've progressed further and be an actually important character.

Thats all. Overall im very biased as this is my favorite drama and im very deep within the fandom, it's a big part of who I am. I have a lot of complaints, but I can't bring myself to rate it anything other than 10 stars. Peace out yall (seongtak on top)

This show is a masterpiece

I started this drama not knowing anything about it and might I say this drama was absolutely fantastic. I loved every single second of it...this drama really is a "no put down" drama. The day I started it was the exact same day I finished it that's how great it was that I just couldn't stop watching it. I'm also very excited for S2 to come out because I truly can't get enough of this fantastic drama.

Everything about it was amazing the cast, the acting, the OST, the emotions portrayed by the actors...this drama truly is a 10/10

MUITO BOM

Eu gosto muito desse dorama, tanto que assisti duas vezes. Gosto desse estilo mais voltado pra ação do que pro romance, e mesmo sendo baseado em um manhwa yaoi, ele foca muito mais na amizade entre os rapazes, o que deixa a história ainda mais emocionante. O ator que interpreta o Si-eun é incrível, ele realmente entrou no personagem e transmite perfeitamente a imagem de um estudante com problemas familiares, antissocial e completamente obcecado por suas notas. Gosto muito do contraste entre ele e o Suho, que é o oposto: não liga pros estudos, trabalha à noite e dorme na escola de dia. A amizade deles é o ponto mais forte do dorama. Já o Beom-seok, eu odiei. Não gostei do rumo que ele tomou, e o fato de não ter tido consequências por causa do pai rico me deixou revoltada. Eu queria ver o Si-eun batendo nele, mas entendo que ele ainda o via como amigo. É um dorama intenso, com ótimas atuações e muita emoção.

An amazing drama

I am at a loss for words on how good this drama is, I went into this with almost little to no expectations but this was genuinely one of the best dramas I've ever watched, even if the genre is not one you prefer, trust me the drama has you on its hookup from the very first episode. Park Jihoon's performance is absolutely phenomenal in this drama. Choi Hyun-Wook does justice to his character as well, the relationship between them is curated so seamlessly that it's flawless, I'm actually stunned.nsnsnndnd

best kdrama

i’ve never gotten so attached to characters in just 8 episodes but i love si eun and soo ho so so much. every episode is so sickening but in the best way possible. the build up to every single fight was excruciating but i loved it. i usually hate the bully story lines in k dramas but it was used in such a different and actually interesting way in this show. 

i absolutely loved all three main characters at first, including bum seok, and then his character flip happened and i tried to just think that he’s mad at his father and taking it out on his friends but you really cant use that to justify his actions by the end. by the last episode i don’t think anything could have made me genuinely feel sorry for bum seok. (also up until like episode 6 i thought the reason that beom seok was mad was that he was gay and had a big crush on soo ho…………was definitely proven wrong)

by the seventh episode you could kind of tell where it would go just by the build up of it but i don’t think anything could have prepared me for seeing that fight. i stand by the fact that soo ho did absolutely nothing wrong, bum seok was just so insecure with himself that he took it out on someone who wasn’t.  soo ho i love you. 

si eun was an amazing friend from the very beginning. he always cared about the other two no matter what and did selfless things to be a good friend and not to look like a good friend like bum seok. i love love love how they told his story. it felt cohesive and no matter how attached i got to someone else it really always felt like i was watching in his pov which i rly appreciate.  

one of the best shows i’ve seen. the highs were rly high and some parts made me so happy but the lows were rly really low………… 

also shin seung-ho call me

MY FAV DRAMA TILL NOW

The acting was so good, same goes for the soundtracks I even added a song to my Playlist. I'll definitely rewatch this!! I loved the story so much, especially Oh Beom Seoks character/story! I liked it so much. Park ji Hoon's acting is also no joke! Loved all the actors and am very addicted to this series haha. I can't wait for season 2... all the fighting/action scene's were so good and I loved the emotional scene's. I understand why people hate on Oh Beom Seoks actions but I feel to attached to his role that I understand his reasons. I If u like the acting of the main characters u should watch Twinkling Watermelon and Revenant!!

Not for everyone, someone can find it boring

Best K-drama, Really liked the plot, Just didn't liked the girl. 10/10. I was sad how the guy (not Beomseok) in the end put Su-ho in hospital, but he's awake in second season so that's good. I really liked it, definitely gonna rewatch jwjsjsbdhekekdjjdjdjdjdjsjsjsnsnsnsnsnsnsnsjsksksjsbsbshgkdjgdtutstidtistjyjfsjfdtkdzidjtdjtstjdfhdjfsjfdjgdjgdigdgjjfsjsgsigjgdutstuetidtiditczifizfzofizfizfkzkgdkzdidkzdjtditdjdjdkgdtsustkdgjsgjxfjdjgxgjsugdtidgkditxjsufxfisfjxhvxugxguxugxguxhgxjgxugxgiyjyjxxjgdjgdjduduxjx

Weak Hero Class 1 Review - ZyKuu

"An introvert meets school violence" - The storyline was interesting in the first half but was slowly losing me in the second half. I loved his acting I believe it was played to a tee. I also really enjoyed the performances by Soo-ho, Bum- seok, and Seok-dae. I found the rest of the cast pretty mediocre. The OST was nowhere to be heard. My favourite fight scene came from the second episode. Action was engaging and suspenseful. This series was very easy to binge through given that each episode is not long at all. Overall a good show, i'm glad I gave it a shot!

BIGGEST KOREAN PEAK

I remember binge watching whc1 and then re-watching it twice. Most absolute peak u can find. The main role played by Jihoon was my favourite. He suffered from mommy issues, depression etc. He played it so well, i must say i had goosebumps everytime i saw him. You can see the mood by the camera and simply being in the vibe which was crazy. We also cant forget about Choi.I loved his attitude! The tension between Jihoon and Choi were crazy. And Kyung?! Gosh. He played his role so well that people started hating him. Imagine how good your acting is when ppl start hating u based off your role. Everyone is talented. A MUST WATCH!! :D
