Weak Hero Class 2

Amazing show. Comparing with Manhwa, and with Season 1, here are my full thoughts

They tried to fit the whole manhwa in 8 episodes. They missed out on tons of fun and important arcs and characters. It would have been great if this was a second season and then they had a 3rd season, so we had a fully fleshed out story and characters. In that sense Season 1 was better. Better paced and just had more emotions in a sense?

I would also say in terms of the fighting scenes, S1 was better. S2 had many fantastic action scenes, but none as chilling as the ones in S1, like the first one with the curtain. I wish they had more monologue in the S2 action scenes, like the did S1 with Sieun.

In terms of acting, both seasons were amazing. Everyone really embodied their characters. If I had to pick one, I would I wish Baek-jin was more like his character. I wish he has his tattoos like the manhwa. In the manhwa, he comes across really cold, chilling, clean, and almost psychopathic. I think they actor did great, but he could have done better.

Again amazing show. IMO, would have been better if they had more episodes and had time to really flesh out the manhwa, but nonetheless great.

S1 - 10/10
S2 - 9/10

Without that melancholic feeling of a trashy life, but great friends.

After waiting months and months to equal years. This season was not as extraordinary.

Season one was so profound and like others, yet extraordinarily its own kind. It gave this weird, blurry blue vibe that felt so nostalgic, it felt like it was obviously not cheap to make, yet not as expensive as season 2 HAD to be. Season one was practically perfect; it was sad and extremely action pact.

Season two felt so much more production. Which is fine it just gave a completely different vibe than season one. WHC1 was melancholy yet Si-Eun was happy when he finally let himself have friends. WHC2 was weird between the friends, almost like Si-Eun accepted them, but never like he could ever be how he was when he was happy with Su-ho and Beom-soek. Yes, I'd say it's obvious I'm those loser fans who can't let go of the OG cast, which is half true since the disappointment of not even a big hug from the reunion at the end, for me, was utterly a big dissatisfaction.

Though I seem to only be complaining, season 2 was good and the cast was so well casted, just maybe Baek-jin was casted a bit old looking, the characters looked like older version of the webtoon drawings, if that makes sense. Jun tae and Hyeon tak were 10/10 castings. Their team seemed to really be pushing Seong-je, but he wasn't really in the show as much as I expected. I'm proud of Park Ji-Hoons amazing delivery and his character was great, but they made him seem like such a weak fighter, and I get that he's not really supposed to be the best but comparted to season1 he fought harder. I understand he tried to not fight again because of Suho as he promised not to fight again, but I don't know, maybe it was a bit disappointing to see him lose.

I found the gang fight to be entertaining, but basically Si-eun was fighting for the cause of a friend that's making his problems with his friend, everyone else's problem. I think they should have continued as they did in season one where maybe people try to pick on him and he fights others and maybe gets revenge for Suho (idk.) I just felt the gang fight was weird.

Also, maybe my take on the above is wrong because I haven't read the webtoon, but just my opinion.

The show was good they just missed the mark by a few. I'd still recommend anyone to watch since the show is a must and was good, they should have tried a bit harder on the script because don't get me started on making the viewers try to feel bad for boem-soek and making him and si-eun like as if they miss each other and the weird ending where si-eun see's Suho finally awake, yet literally like no good conversation after making viewers wait years.

Si-eun loved su-ho like a brother, yet boem-soek took him away for years, i'd imagine he'd have some sort of resentment and self-guilt over what happened with boem-soek, yet somehow their like okay with even seeing each other in si-euns dream. To me, even though boem-soek was pitiful and lonely, he still hurt someone badly. This is never okay. So, maybe i could look into why si-eun didn't hold resentment toward boem-soek, yet hated himself over it? but idk it doesn't make sense to me so i should look that up. The ending was crazy. How do you see your friend who you missed so much you texted his phone while he was in coma, yet you have the tamest conversation once he wakes up, not even a little hug or a handshake. ALSO, WHERE IS SI_EUN'S GRAY ZIP UP. They abandoned it completely >o<.

I'll rewatch until I'm 80 and though it wasn't as soul ascending as season one, it was worth watching and i hope that if they make a season three where su-ho and si-eun can happily enjoy being BFF's, then this season was only a little stab by si-euns pen!

Si-eun Returns: Weak Hero Class 2 Kicks Things Up a Notch (Maybe Too Quickly!)

Get ready, because Weak Hero Class 2 is here, and it's like Season 1 hit the fast-forward button! Our favorite brainy brawler, Yeon Si-eun, is navigating a new school, new frenemies, and way bigger threats. The quiet, slow-burn tension of the first season often takes a backseat to flashier, more frequent, and definitely more brutal action sequences.

This season throws Si-eun into a new crew – Hu-min (played charismatically by Ryeoun), Hyun-tak, and Jun-tae form an unlikely squad you can't help but root for. Watching these bonds form is definitely a highlight! But just as things get cozy, the imposing Baek-jin starts making trouble, threatening their newfound peace.

At its core, the show still explores Si-eun's struggle – fighting only when he absolutely has to, using smarts and strategy over sheer muscle. However, some fans might miss the deep dives into his tactical genius from Season 1, as this round feels a bit more focused on high-octane, punch-kick action.

Okay, deep breaths everyone, because things move fast. Like, really fast. With only eight episodes to cover a mountain of story (especially for webtoon readers!), some felt the plot was speed-running through character backstories and villain motivations. It sometimes feels like we're hopping from one showdown to the next without fully catching our breath or understanding why everyone's suddenly throwing hands. The big bads, while visually cool (shoutout to Jun Young's awesome Geum Seong Je!), might feel a tad underdeveloped or less menacing than they could have been due to the breakneck pace.

While the show still hits those emotional notes, especially when reminding us of Su Ho's impact on Si-eun, the rushed feeling can sometimes make the deeper friendship moments feel a little less impactful than in the first season. And eagle-eyed viewers might notice a slight shift in the production style – think brighter colors and less of that gritty S1 vibe.

So, is Weak Hero Class 2 a knockout? It delivers big on action, introduces a great new group dynamic, and keeps you hooked. It definitely raises the stakes and expands the world. However, be prepared for a much faster pace that sometimes sacrifices the emotional depth and calculated tension that made Season 1 so unique. If you're ready for a whirlwind ride packed with fights and friendship, jump in – just maybe keep your finger near the pause button!

Been pondering how to explain my feelings

First of, I think the acting was top tier from every actor, every single one of them was abel to portrait the emotion from the characters very well. The osts were as amazing as season one and again the timing was also good. Regarding watching valeu, I think I will never get over this series in my live I just love sieun and kinda see myself in him. Now let's talk about the bigger elephant in the room, the writing. In my opinion, from someone that read the manhwa after the 2 season, before reading the manhwa I thought it was an amazing ending and the story line completely aligned with the first season, sieun handling his depression and suho mourning, beomseok in the ring, the way sieun handled making friends ,his freak outs when fighting. I see this season has an amazing ending to the first season. But at the same time after reading the manhwa I can understand the complaints. First of they could very well only done the wolf(seongje) arc and leave the Donald(baekjin) arc for another season, so that's way people see it as rushed. I like the ending I understand completely the ending, because it works in case of 3° season and it works if we don't get one. We got an happy ending, we see suho and sieun together, but we also see humin's childhood friend died. If they do 3 season they can use that he faked is death and came back to get revenge on the gangster and maybe not dying for real like in the manhwa. Over all I very much enjoyed it, is not as heartbreaking as the first season but is also amazing done hand the friendships are also amazingly written and portrait. I would recommend it to every person that I meet from now on, and cry every time I hear the opening song. If you have read this I apologise for my badly written english.

MY SHAYLAAAAA ??

best decision Netflix ever made was to take the lead with this series and give us what we deserve : another season of whc!! because when I tell y’all I lost hope about having that season 2 (but at least it made me discover the treasure that is the WEBTOON original format !!!)
slam dunk reference ???
seeing beom seok(actually it was seong je the glass and the attitude of the character tricked me bye) triggered me like it did to sieun like I was the one getting betrayed by this mf ?
Cried in this season so much. It’s definetely met my expectations
back then as i was watching twinkling watermelon I was saying I wanted to see Ryeoun and Choi Hyun Wook in the same series bcuz they had a great chemistry and my wish got fulfilled !!!

seeing this getting adapted I realized something more than ever : Si eun and Hu Min are the same. And by that I mean they lived the same experience. had their best friend going crazy and obsessive over them and also had to see their friend(s) suffering and feeling guilty about it just because of that aforesaid best friend that wont let them live


the casting : top tier (once again !)
the music : matches the vibe really well it to the point I would even say it compliments it
the story : incredible
the acting : really worth it

A GREAT CAST FOR A GREAT ACT

Rewatch value : idk cuz I hate rewatching things but this could be one of those exceptions

AND THE SLAM DUNK REFERENCE ???

the only problem with this season would be that after the reunion why the heck didn’t we get a more emotional scene ?? cuz Si-eun longed him way too much to just end up glancing at each other and exchanging 3 sentences afterwards 😭

baek jin was a bad person but not a bad character as his backstory is so sad. I cried when he passed.

The Perfect Follow-Up

I typically don't like second seasons of shows - in fact, I was hesitant to watch this even though I LOVED s1. While I still think that season 1 was truly a masterpiece, I could not have come up with a second season better than this.

Si-eun is dealing with some serious PTSD from everything that happened at his last school. Vowing never to fight again after what happened with Su-ho, he becomes a loner at his new delinquent-filled school. However, watching kids get bullied makes it hard for him to sit by and do nothing. Naturally, he ends up getting wrapped up in the bullies' business when he protects one of his classmates - and while this seems to make him some friends, it also puts another target on his back. Not to mention, the bullies are involved with a gang comprised of a bunch of kids from other schools, who are even more ruthless than what Si-eun has dealt with before.

This was genuinely such a good second season. The fights were incredible, the music was perfect, and the acting the ACTING was AMAZING. I am SO impressed with how perfectly Park Jihoon was able to jump back into the role of Si-eun. The lasting effects of the trauma he went through were so clearly portrayed in his character without being too overdramatic or unrealistic. I cried, I laughed, and I cried again - but it was all worth it to watch this season.

Unrealistic story across the episode

If children ruled the school...
Who wrote this series? Did they forget to include the faculty and staff? Hello! Where are the adults in that school? Why is a mafia system run by students ruling a school...and there's not a single mention as to why the teachers are ignorant of or ignoring it?

And the amount of evil portrayed in the first episode is so over-the-top, you mean to tell me not one parent (or 30 parents) isn'tcalling or meeting staff in person, filing a serious complaint or charge? The evil is horrific. Are the teenage mafia-lings really holding their classmates hostage in an actual room in the school?

The story is disappointing in execution, disturbingly flawed in morality. It's truly bad work.

golpes + chavitos guapos!!

Después de ver como 8000 edits con canciones bellakas de tiktok desde que salió por fin me decidí verlo. creo que mi mayor error decir que sólo iba a haber un capítulo a las 11 de la noche porque ya son las 2 de la mañana y acabo de acabar los 8 capítulos que hay. es una serie completamente adictiva, debido a la historia, los personajes que desarrollan y los actores súper comprometidos con el papel, como por ejemplo Ryeo que solamente para el papel de Baku subió 10 kilos, debido a que su personaje era una persona fuerte y con buena masa muscular. si vieron la primera temporada, de verdad no se pueden perder la segunda está igual de buena, sólo que un comentario hay algunos pequeños huecos en la historia que me quedaron pendientes de entender, pero fuera de eso, fue muy ADICTIVA. eso sí. Mi favorita de las dos fue la primera por el cariño que le tengo la etapa que estaba viviendo mientras estaba viendo el drama, pero si les gustan las series de acción, escolares y con un toque de amistad, esta es la serie que deben de ver.
