Weak Hero Class 2

I Would Just Be The Catcher In The Rye And All..

Was it as good as the first season?? No.. But sequels rarely are.. However, if you watch this drama without comparing it to the first season, it might not be a masterpiece but it's still a well executed drama that evokes a range of emotions.. The friendship remains a standout element as it was in the first season, but this time with new characters..

Park Jihoon is an outstanding actor.. The way he portrays sadness, agony and melancholy is crazy.. But in this season, it’s a bit hard to say Park Jihoon was the true main lead.. Two other characters completely outperformed him, Baku and Na Baek Jin.. They were the highlight of the drama for me.. Si Eun was the anchor of the drama.. But thats it.. This whole season was carried by Baku and Na Baek Jin.. This season had a genuinely talented cast and they delivered.. These are the kind of actors the industry should be promoting, not those overrated ones riding on the hype of obsessive fangirls.. It’s the truly talented people who deserve the spotlight..

Ryeo Un's performance was incredible.. He brought so much heart to the scenes with his friends and undoubtedly he totally owned the action scenes..
Bae Na Ra.. Wow.. He was exceptional.. Really gave those villainous vibes.. The fact that they showed there was goodness in him was a nice touch.. He had a past.. But that doesnt justify his actions.. [ Major spoiler incoming ] I wish they hadn't killed him off at the end.. If there is a third season I hope they build on that.. Because that was such a loss..
Lee Jun Young, even with limited screen time he just gave another really strong performance.. The bad guy rebel vibe is something he pulls off effortlessly as we have seen before.. But man he was thrilling to watch..

This drama had an amazing roster of talented yet totally underrated actors.. I hope we get to see more of them in future dramas.. It’s unfortunate that the industry often chooses overrated actors over true talent..

Jo Jung Suk's cameo was a surprise.. While I liked the cameo and it was nice to see him in that role, he didn’t leave much of an impact.. I felt the character could have benefited from a stronger, more commanding negative presence.. Which unfortunately didn't come through as powerfully as it could have..

In Ep7, Si Eun says sorry to Beom Seok when he was in a coma like situation after his accident.. I honestly don’t understand why.. Beom Seok is one of the main reasons Suho is in the hospital and yet Si Eun says sorry?? What's the logic here??

This might be a bit of a controversial opinion.. But if there is a season 3, I do wonder what role Suho would play in that circle.. Now that we have Baku who I would say not only filled his place but did it even better.. It’s hard to see how Suho fits into the dynamic from here on..

Overall, I can't deny that this drama did everything it set out to and to a very high standard.. I do wish the finale was a bit stronger.. The final clash felt underwhelming.. But it was a thrilling watch.. I am confident there are more compelling stories to tell in the Weak Hero Class Universe, so expecting a third installment as well..

I should mention Park Ji Hoon again.. The nuance with which he creates such a melancholic character who you can't help but feel sad about is awe inspiring..

P.S.. The drama started off with a quote from one of my favorite books.. The catcher in the Rye..

It was fun to watch, and the actors did a really good job portraying their roles. PJH really did a great job this season too. His eyes carried so much emotion in them; you could see the turmoil of emotions he was going through. Not to mention rest of the cast also did a great job portraying their roles
I watched season 1 more thrice and even read the manhwa completely so i find it a bit regretful that this season didn't match up to my expectations (i did have very high expectations cause weak hero class 1 is one of my favorites ). Yes, there was a lot of variation from manhwa and honestly to say season one was completely different story from the manhwa but second season, though it had variations from the book it was similar in terms of plot. The plot had really good potential but i think it wasn't properly showcased. the action sequences and fight scenes were fun to watch but to me the last episode felt a bit lacking, it just felt like a hurried ending but yeah, I was totally over the moon when i saw Suho waking up. I just couldn't connect as emotionally as i did with the characters in first season. I feel Na Baek Jin character wasn't properly explained too
Regardless it was a good show to watch

A Sequel That Lost Its Punch

After the explosive intensity and emotional brutal depth of s1, my expectations were sky-high for the second season. Season 1 captured lightning in a bottle, raw storytelling, tightly choreographed action, and layered characters that felt both vulnerable and powerful. Sadly s2 struggles to live up to that legacy, it didn't deliver.

The most glaring issue is its pacing s1 moved with purpose, every fight and conversation pushing the plot forward, s2 meanders. The stakes feel less urgent, and the tension that once gripped viewers is often replaced by filler scenes and redundant dialogue. the episodes were too short to get into relate and study every character.

Character development also takes a hit. Yeon Si-eun, once a fascinating blend of intellect and bottled-up rage, feels diluted. Instead of evolving naturally, his arc seems forced, with less emotional payoff. The new characters introduced lack the charisma and complexity of the original trio, making it hard to invest in their stories.

The action a highlight of the first season is still present, but without the emotional stakes, it often feels like style over substance. We see punches fly, but the pain behind them is missing. it's very unrealistic and mostly fictional, 1 guy taking out 5 dudes no scratches no fracture.

In short, s2 isn’t a total misfire, but it’s a significant step down from its predecessor. It had the potential to deepen the world and characters we loved, but instead delivers a less focused, less impactful continuation. i was finding it difficult to finish the drama, i kept waiting for the turn of events but it never happened.

Netflix Season 2 : NEVER EXPECT MUCH

Weak Hero Class 2 disappoints with a narrative that struggles to find its footing.

The story feels dull, weighed down by excessive flashbacks to Season 1 that disrupt momentum rather than enhance depth. New plot lines lack urgency, particularly the contrived "accident misinformation" arc (Typical Netflix style ), which feels forced and poorly executed. Si Eun’s strategic brilliance, once a highlight, feels sidelined as fights devolve into generic brawls without his trademark cunning. (He is always ready to stab like crazy idiot)

Additionally, the protagonist’s mother is reduced to an irritating, superficial figure, adding little beyond unnecessary melodrama. While the season retains very little good fight sequences, these moments can’t salvage the lackluster pacing or underdeveloped conflicts. A few emotional beats, particularly around guilt and loss, offer fleeting resonance, but the overall experience pales in comparison to the tightly woven tension of its predecessor.

Fans may stay for the action, but the magic of Season 1 is sorely missed.

I dont get it why people are disappointed with this season.
This might be the best season. I love everything abt it. The ending the fight scenes, crying scenes.
Everything about it is wonderful.
10/10!
one thing that i might agree with is that we barely saw any suho scenes. I get it he just woke up and he was in wheelchair, but i wanted more reaction about this.
The ending made me thought that there might be another season just because. The CEO chose a new gang leader(hope so that there will be season3)


For me 8 episodes wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to see one more episode dedicated to suho and si-eun. But sadly we didnt got it.


Rather then that i think this season was amazing.!!!

Love the cast but…

I was patiently waiting for years for season 2 to drop. but.. idk it was definitely good but I didn’t feel the connection to s2 like I had with S1.
The best thing about s2 was the cast and the acting! it was immaculate!!
But the pacing and storytelling overall felt off ? it basically felt like a lot of fights through 8 short episodes. main characters suddenly appeared and disappeared and backstories to understand them a bit more were left out. It also seemed a bit unrealistic how fast there injuries disappeared? they got 10-15? hits to the head and were walking like nothing happened…
What also threw me off was the beginning. the trailer and also end of s1 was showing sieun walking into the new class and s2 begins one year after transferring to the school. There are so many questions open to answer! why do baekjin and baku hate each other so much? why did he die? where does seungjae(?) suddenly disappeared to? I thought he’s the main bad guy? Like I have so many more questions bc the storytelling was so off.

overall definitely nice to watch but it sadly couldn’t reach s1 :(

Mind blowing.

Finished this in 3 hours, I MISSED park ji hoon. the casting was so good so I don't get it why people are complaining? all of the actors played their role very good. I'm gonna be honest I had expected not to like this but thus is very good and a good competition to season 1. I always imagined the day suho wakes up and meets suho and in the end I sobbed, I sobbed so hard and I didn't expect to cry at all. the ost hit the spot it hit so hard I wanted to cry even more. ryeon ( I think that's his name) played his role so good. whenever he cried I cried. this season completed a part of me that was broken I'm so glad I got to see suho and si eun again though I wish they added more of their chats but it's okay. I missed them, seeing a glimpse of si eun and suho together satisfied me. and the cameo of beom seok? I'm so happy that si eun finally understood him. though, he was wrong but I felt so satisfied after seeing them. those flashbacks fit together perfectly! these lines "suho, I got into in another fight." broke me. when I say broke me I started crying it's just that the script was written so good. The cameos fit perfectly! I guess ha yi chan sent his son to comfort and protect si eun. I'm so glad I watched this. please just watch it!! off topic but park ji hoon's eyes are so beautiful!

Weak Hero Class 2 – My Thoughts After a Binge Watch

So, I just binged Weak Hero Class 2, and honestly, I enjoyed it for the most part. It picks up right where S1 left off – Su Ho is in a coma, Si Eun’s been expelled, and now he's transferred to a smaller school where rumors are flying that he “killed someone.” Not great when you’re already carrying a ton of guilt.

What I Loved:
First off, the soundtrack. Still the same as season 1, and I’m so glad they didn’t change it. It’s just perfect for the mood of the show – intense, emotional, and so atmospheric.

Park Jihoon as Yeon Si Eun – seriously, this guy doesn’t miss. His acting was just as strong as in S1, if not better. He starts off the season already looking like he’s hit rock bottom, and you feel it. His expressions were everything. That one scene where Jun Tae tells him it’s not his fault and he finally breaks down? That hit hard. Especially when he tells his mom he doesn’t want to go abroad because his friends said it’s not his fault – beautiful moment.

Also, the friendship this season was really well done. Hu Min, Jun Tae, and Hyeon Tak helping Si Eun slowly open up was such a nice progression to watch. You could tell he was starting to heal, little by little.

And okay, Hu Min and Baek Jin were doing their own thing entirely – it was like they had their own drama running parallel. Whether as friends or enemies, they had real chemistry and were low-key pulling everyone else into their whirlwind.
Episode 1 was my personal favorite. In just 40 minutes, they made me care about a brand-new character (Jun Tae), and that’s not easy. Really strong start.

The fight scenes were solid too – gritty and intense like always.
And Su Ho waking up at the end? Yes! Loved that Si Eun went to see him, this time with new friends by his side.

What Caught Me Off Guard:
Baek Jin’s death. Didn’t see it coming, and definitely didn’t expect to be that sad about it.

Final Thoughts:
Season 1 is still my favorite, but season 2 had a lot of good stuff too. The emotional weight was heavier, and while the pacing was a bit different, it was still a fun watch. Some great new characters, solid fights, and strong character development – I’m glad I stuck with it.

Addictive & Action Packed, Lacked Depth w.r.t S1

SHORT VERSION

Pros:
The characters are compelling, the action sequences and performances are stellar, and the pacing is so engaging that it’s perfect for binge-watching in one sitting. Just as I did with Season 1, Season 2 was equally addictive.

Cons:
(1) It lacked some depth in Na Baek Jin’s backstory, which was hinted at but never fully explored.
(2) I hoped for a larger role for my favorite character, Wolf (Seong Je), played by Lee Jun Young.

Overall:
Highly recommended if you’re a fan of action dramas centered on school life and don’t mind an appetite for (almost senseless) violence. It excels in action, acting, storytelling, and pacing - otherwise, like its predecessor. So if you enjoyed S1, S2 is of same class!

LONG VERSION:

While I enjoy the show for its stellar acting, gripping story, and thrilling action—much like Season 1—I’m torn between viewing it as simple entertainment or searching for a deeper message. If it’s the former, the series works perfectly as a great action drama. But if it’s the latter, even after two seasons, I’m unclear about its intentions. Does it encourage standing up to bullies by fighting back? Or does it argue that violence perpetuates an endless cycle without true resolution?

This ambiguity leaves me conflicted, as the portrayal of violence feels disconnected from reality. Having experienced bullying—directly and indirectly, though not as intense as in the show—I know that most victims stay silent, endure, and hope it ends with graduation. Rarely do they confront their bullies, a troubling truth despite stricter rules and policies. Bullying persists, spanning schools, universities, and even adult life - EVEN TODAY. This makes me wonder what the show/webtoon (not read) hopes to achieve by showcasing more violence. What message does it want the audience to grasp, and what should I take away from it?

Ultimately, I’ve chosen to enjoy the drama purely for its entertainment value. Its action-packed narrative is executed brilliantly, just like its predecessor, even if its deeper message remains uncertain.

Weak Hero Class 2 – Battling Brutality in the Schoolyard.

Weak Hero Class 2 builds on the emotional intensity of season 1, with even more brutal fights and deeper character growth. Yeon Si-eun’s journey is raw and gripping as he faces tougher enemies and battles his inner demons. The action is sharp, the story is tight, and the friendships feel real.

But it was a bit disappointing that after Suho woke up from his coma, we didn’t get to see more of him. I really hoped there would be a scene where he and Si-eun talked again or even got introduced to Si-eun’s new friend group. That emotional closure was missing. I hope so that there is a s3 of it
