Weak Hero Class 2

i still prefer season 1, but THIS SEASON IS STILL AS SOLID

i freaking love it!!! i binge watched season 1 and 2 in a sitting, and both season has its own beauty to it. though i still prefer season 1 with the emotional buildup, whereas season 2 has lotsa fight and tackling of the bullying issue.

its so nice to see si eun determination and loyalty, and how he stands up for the weak even though he honestly isn't that great of a fighter. but hey, they say the winner is the last one standing and that is si eun for you.

i love love love how it connects back to season 1, without throwing away the entire season 1 plot and showing conversation with Beom Seok and i was really hoping si ho wakes up in the middle of the season, but that's okay so long as he wakes up in the drama still. SO CUTE. i can't wait if there is going to be a season 3; will we see the bromance combination of si eun with si ho and hu min?

The dark truth behind standing up for yourself

I just finished the drama and tried to grasp how I feel about it. Besides the amazing fighting choreography, I got outstanding young actors that believably portray how violence can turn you absolutely numb and how even the weakest kids can do unimaginable things if tortured too long. But what I actually liked the most about the show was the overall message I personally perceived from it: Standing up for yourself is nothing romantic. It's nothing pretty. It's nothing glorious. Most of the time it's just ugly and painful.

If you want a show that portrays real life you won't like this. Given all the damage they took since episode 1 they all would be in a coma or dead already. But who is watching dramas for them to be realistic? Watch it for the entertainment. For the grim realisation that sometimes if you defend yourself you won't be any better than your oppressors. But that's how life goes. And that's the realistic part about this drama. Action - Reaction. Just that sometimes your reactions are as bad as the actions of the people who hurt you in the first place. It's an endless cycle. It's not romantic. It doesn't have an happy ending. There are some happy moments but in the end it's just a drama about some traumatized highly violent children that aren't heroes but just kids who are tired of getting disrespected and beaten up. Kids who become absolute lunatics themselves and instead of recognizing that they could try to end things peacefully they just take the same measures as the villains - who in fact also are just crazy traumatized kids. They only ever realize it when the damage is already done. There's nothing nice about that drama. And that's what makes it so damn good.

THE HYPE. THE WAIT. THE THRILL. THE VERY ALL OF WEAK HERO CLASS 2 ARE WORTH IT!!!

....THAT IS "if" you're a non-reader of the original webtoon like me, and solely just watching without any expectations from the webtoon itself.

I'm too lazy to write any reviews/comment here actually considering how overwhelmed i am with whc2 but SINCE, it seems some/a lot where MAKING FUSS everywhere here and around the socmed about 1 : *that whc2 SEEMED RUSHED or what* ; 2 : *that how the MEETING OF SI-EUN & SU-HO WENT PASS JUST LIKE THAT?!*

IF THAT'S THE CASE, LET ME JUST ASK YOU FOR 1-THING. ~Would you like it if it goes how you wanted it to happen???? knowing it's just an 8-episode drama & probably, it could have been filmed quite in a fast-paced more than this! WELL, I BET YOU DON'T want it that way!

**reviews
I would say, THIS TOTALLY EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS. Man! Those flashbacks from the start!? IT IS JUST ONE THING THAT I REALLY PRAISE for this season. & What I REALLY LOVE about is how they didn't exclude Su-Ho ; from Si-Eun visiting suho every each day, & 'till OUR LONG WAIT WISH HAS FINALLY CAME TO AN END, suho's recovery, plus their meeting after all the long years and su-ho waiting for sieun, how SiEun and his new found friends run to meet suho *i'm still crying from si-eun's smile fr* (i was afraid suho would suffer from some memory loss tho, nothing just some kind of trauma* which I'm glad didn't happen). Tho, their reunion appeared quiet late to finale, I'm glad for the assurance they gave and didn't make it a reason for another season.

STILL, THERE ARE YET THINGS WAITING TO UNFOLD OF THE POTENTIAL NEW SEASON. THERE ARE MORE TO IT WHICH I HIGHLY ANTICIPATED!!!

~ so yeah! SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON!!!!! WITH THE WHOLE Weak Hero OG, hopefully!🙏👊

WILL HEAL YOUR SOUL FROM S1

S1 better than S2? The answer is NO, No Season is better than the other, S1 and S2 are one Series y'all for those S2 haters. S1 has been really painful for me, I felt wooseok's betrayal to the bones, It feels heart wrenching especially when suho was hospitalized because of wooseok's betrayal just because he felt jealous of someone, Until now I still need closure, I still want to see him felt the remorse he never did instead he blamed the Girl for the misfortune, S2 healed those painful emotions from S1 after seeing suho finally woken up and see Si-eun Again plus with his new friends, I finally be at peace. S1 and S2 are really full packaged if I focused on Si-eun's circle of friends. For Baek Jin a and Humin's friendship it's a pity how their friendship ended like that, tho no specific reason why they severed their friendship but it's a pity how Jin ah ended doing bad things they shouldn't have shown how he's been donating to the orphanage so I don't feel sympathetic to him anymore. But I just ignored them so it's fine. So the conclusion is that S1 wouldn't be Complete without S2 and S2 wouldn't be complete without S1. Just think of this as a whole Drama series with 16 episodes don't separate them it's really good.

Un loop con un happy ending

Non commento molto i drama che guardo,ma questo merita, saranno gli occhi di Park Ji Hoon, sarà la violenza vista e che è difficile da credere che possa esistere,facendo un parallelismo con i licei di Napoli o Milano o Palermo , liceali che riescono a mettere su un organizzazione criminale senza aver i padri e le madri in galera? Anche il più “cammostiriallo (associato alla camorra)” napoletano o siciliano si ferma alle medie. al liceo non c’è questa violenza e mi da’ da pensare vederla nei kdrama…
Se guardate “Mare fuori” la criminalità si ferma agli extracomunitari, a ragazzi coinvolti senza una base culturale, nel senso che l’ignoranza ti porta ad una vita di violenza.
Quello che non ho capito o forse che non ha capito la gioventù coreana e’ un motto “ Se vuoi fottere il sistema studia” il che il protagonista sembra averlo recepito ma non gli altri che gli girano attorno.
Comunque bello il finale con Su Ho che ritorna da un sonno di mesi e che chiede a Si Eun “ come va?”

Very rushed

I really loved season 1 and was waithing for this season to come out! But I am kinda disappointed. First of all I feel like this season is a little bit boring. It has either a fitting scene either a talking/ walking, plot scenes. But it felt like something was missing.

Also they didn’t show us new characters background stories and made it confusing to understand WHY they are doing whatever they do. It felt very fast and rushed. I wish they made 10 episodes so there were no questions left.

I haven’t not read the webtoon, so i don’t know what is really true and what is added but i still feel like they missed a lot from the original plot.
To me it was very rushed, a bit dull and strange. Si Eun felt different and it is not bcs he has changed, its bcs they didn’t focused on him that much. Well i would say they didn’t focus on any character very much, probably because they had no time for that.

Also I don’t know what it is but the whay it was filmed and edited felt different, maybe they changes a production team. It made me feel like I am watching something new with a known backstory.

Overall I still give it a 9 bcs It is not bad and I still love this series but I hope they worked a little bit better on this season. I prefer season 1, if you ask me. ( I needed more SuHo scenes 🥲) I guess there’s gonna be a season 3 or else why would they put that scene at the end, right? 😅 At least I hope they won’t make us wait for 2 years;)

When Enough Is Enough

I'm not one to watch nor like the bullying/fighting genre, but damn!!!....Weak Hero Class just sucked me in. I saw advertisements for season 2, so I binged season 1. I had just finished watching the first season when the second started on Netflix. There are similarities, but they are not the same. This was nice as I do not like watching second anything and seeing a repeat of the first. The writer really made this as a continuation....a "what happens next" story.

The ML, again, powerfully acted by Park Ji Hoon, is not only quiet and. stoic (as in the 1st), but he's also numb with a building undercurrent of anger, and overwhelmed with guilt. He is transferred to a new school, Eunjang, where he is precisely at for about 10 minutes when he again becomes the target of bullies. Beautifully acted. Understated, but powerful.

There is a gang of bullies, trying to get into the Union. The Union is another criminal organization led by a shadow crime boss who hides his organization behind gangs of school-age kids. The head high school gang member is trying to get his childhood best friend, Hu Min, to join the Union. Hu min is another character similar to Beom Seok in that he has an abusive, unsupportive father. However, unlike Beom Seok, Hu Min never turns against his friends. Si Eun, Hu Min, Jun Tae, and Hyeon Tak team up to rid their school of the bullies, help Hu Min fight against the pressures of joining the Union, and finally to stop the Union from existing. All of this plays out in highly choreographed fight scenes over and over again.

The ending is both happy, sad, and gives us a teaser of maybe another season. We get to see an awake but still recovering Su ho which is nice. However, there is a scene where Si Eun is unconscious dreaming that he is sitting in a boxing ring and Beom Seok is with him. So what did happen to Beom Seok? Did his father have him killed and we are seeing his spirit interacting with Si Eun? Or, is this just a teaser to seeing this character reappear in a future episode? Regardless, when Si Eun says he has to go, Beom Seok grabs his arm and cries. It is so sad. Even though Beom Seok's character in the first series was responsible for Su ho's coma, he is such a traumatized individual it is hard to hate him. Brilliantly played by Hong Kyung. We also see the death of Hu Min's childhood best friend, the leader of the Union gang. We also see the possibility of a new leader taking his place and with this the possibility of another season.

Yet another excellent story, powerful and emotional. The only thing I could criticize about this one is some of the students looked way to old to be in high school. But a superb addition to the Weak Hero Class franchise.

"For Every Good Action, A Good Reaction Follows"

Truth to be told, I've been ogling for 'Weak Hero Class 2' because of its spectacular predecessor aka season 1. Straight after completing 'High School Return of a Gangster', I immediately jump to this show with high expectations. Thank goodness, everything goes smoothly for me. Let's delve into the plotline now.

The plot is centered around Yeon Si-eun's life as he transfers to a new school after a chaos ensued in his former school. For the sake of his promise to Ahn Su-ho, Si-eun doesn't want to get involved in fighting or brawls anymore. However, fate plays a cruel joke and he must face new threat in Eunjang High School as a syndicate dubbed 'Union' keeps targeting Eunjang's students. Alongside his newly-made friends - the timid and amicable Seo Jun-tae, the boisterous Park Hu-min, and his loyal sidekick Go Hyun-tak. Combining their wits and strength, they decide to end the fighting once and for all and bring the peace they yearn for.

What I can say about the plot is that it is the most gritty and well-written storyline I've ever come across. It truly lives up to the season 1's reputation. The characters also have emotional baggage of their own, which adds a layer of emotional depth on them. I can't help but love this show more and more, even binging it for 3 days in one go. I must be crazy already, aren't I?

Acting are superb as well. Each actor is shining in their respective role. Park Ji-hoon comes back to reprise his role as the dark Yeon Si-eun and this time he deals with darker circumstance, where the guilt and remorse consumes him. Another worthy MVP maybe Ryeoun - he captures the essence of Hu-min's character very well and explores a wide range of emotions in an excellent way, including how he confronts his former best friend Na Baek-jin. Other casts also give strong performance and kudos to all of them.

Overall, a must-watch masterpiece that you shouldn't miss. I also wish there would be 'Weak Hero Class 3' so that we can see Si-eun's final year looks like. Good luck and happy watching!!!

W.O.W

Where do I start? Weak Hero Class 2… probably the most anticipated drama of 2025. And I’m happy to say it didn’t disappoint. I know whether you like this drama or hate it depends on personal taste but I’m just going to put out why I 🖤it. First things first, Weak hero is such a psychological drama. From the character development to the movement of the plot, everything is so gripping. Secondly, you can really empathise with the characters and feel bad for them. They feel real and have depth( not 2D characters who are perfect). Their defects and strengths make you fall in love with them. If you are here for heartwarming glorified tone and emotions, you can run away right now because Weak Hero is the opposite. It presents the emotions the characters go through raw and real. They don’t underplay or overexaggerate the emotional journey of each of the characters. Thirdly, the cast (oh my days!!!) is fantastic. Bae Nara as Na Baekjin, I loved it. This show also had the best villain in my opinion. Usually villains are so plain boring. But I fully fell in love with Na Baekjin. He is such a complex, psychologically layered character. I cried at the ending of this drama. And let’s not forget our Sieun. He goes through so much and he grows into an amazing person. Okay, probably enough of my yapping… To wrap up, Weak Hero Class 2 was fantastic. Probably my favourite drama ever. If you haven’t watched it yet and are looking for a drama to watch next, Weak Hero is perfect. I’ve watched it more than 3 times already and you probably will too. I think you can tell how much I love this drama just by how much I wrote. Enjoy and stay dramaholic!

More brawls than brains

Huge upgrade at the structure of the storyline compared to its predecessor, a much better core premise than before as it got neater storytelling and more meticulous handling of emotions, all thanks to the mindblowing acting performances from all of the casts. However despite having a great political buildup to begin with, the actual plot development after the clash was initiated actually kind of fall short, most of the time it needs to make up with over the top fighting scenes to push forward the tension, like the final sequence that lasted for almost an episode long, but for the visual excitement though it's definitely worth it.
