Weak Hero Class 2

2022 WHC fans…get ready for tears

Man…

Where do I even begin this?

I’ve been waiting since 2022 for a season 2. Though as much as I wanted to rate this a 10/10 like I did with season 1, it just simply doesn’t compare. And if im being totally honest, the entirety of these episodes up until episode 8, they were extremely exhausting.

It stressed you out for no reason and just kept getting your hopes up just to squash it down, time and time again. It was fine the first two times it happened but then I realised there was a pattern that kept repeating itself throughout the episodes which was the fight scenes constantly edging you on only to end anti climactic in some sort of way. It’s very obvious that they tried to pack up hundreds of webtoon chapters into one season since a lot of things were rushed and happened all at once. I think they handled it well though, I’m trying to look at this from an unbiased view since this was the most anticipated show for me after waiting for 3 years and I genuinely wasn’t that disappointed. Obviously season 1 and season 2 show completely different stories, and my favourite character—Suho, was left behind in the past which is probably why I ended up enjoying it just a tiny bit less.

But as episodes went on, I grew to like the new characters as well which is what I meant by when I said that I think they did well for packing hunderds of chapters into 1 season. It could’ve been a lot worse and halfassed.

With that being said, I’m gonna say a major spoiler now.

I am so incredibly happy that they showed Suho in the last episode. Awake.

I cannot stress enough how worthy it was to do that. I don’t think I could’ve handled another plotwist where the show ended and Suho remained in coma. The episodes were incredibly exhausting but episode 8 was like an anecdote for that stress and it washed everything away. The feeling of relief, happiness and a feel like something has finally been settled inside my soul. It sounds silly when I talk about fictional characters like this, but this show means a hell of a lot to me.

So to the writers, genuinely, thank you for bringing Suho back.

Now I don’t know if this is actually the end to whc but I wholeheartedly hope not.

The last bit in episode 8 gave me a bit of a hope that a season 3 might be in talks. Although I don’t know how far the webtoon has come but I genuinely wish a season 3 would happen. Because although I’m happy with Suhos brief return, it was too short and I hope to see them again like in season 1 one day.

I have mixed feelings abt s2

First of all it's really hard to make a season 2 of a good show live up to our expectations, i've onoy seen 1 or 2 shows that were as good as their first season. So i was expecting it to not be as good as season 1.

While my expectations were really low, i did enjoy the season. The emotional parts always gets me...

The reason why i gave this season a lower ranking than the first [s1=10/10], is bcz i missed some things in the storyline, for example how did sieun overcome the part where he couldn't sleep [i know he got pills from his friend but he stopped taking them].
The emotional part in the storyline is really the only thing that saved it for me.

I also missed the part where the police find out that the union is stealing things and throws them in jail.
I get that there likely will be a season 3 where we get these answers and suho becomes friends with sieuns friend, but that doesn't mean that i don't miss a lot in the storyline.

The ending feels rushed, and i noticed that the storyline wasn't really big like in season 1....

But this season is still better than a lot of other shows, that's why i have mixed feelings. Always when people hype things up, it can't live up to our expectations that's why i don't have high expectations...

The Wait Was Worth It: A Journey of Healing and Heart

After waiting years for Weak Hero Class 2, I was beyond excited and it absolutely delivered. We follow Sieun as he starts at a new school, still carrying the weight of his past and mental struggles. The flashbacks showing his trauma were incredibly well done and truly heart-wrenching.

At his new school, we meet fresh faces like Juntae—super cute and kind, he reminded me a lot of Sieun in season 1. Their friendship felt so genuine. Hyo Man, who seemed like the typical early-season villain, turned out to be unexpectedly funny and refreshing. Then came Humin and Hyeon Tak, who balanced out Sieun’s world perfectly. Humin (aka Baku) especially stole the show he had me laughing, crying, and everything in between. His role was spot-on.

This season was really about Sieun’s slow healing through new friendships. The way the show handled that emotional growth especially through those flashbacks was beautiful. It hit hard in the best way.

And the fight scenes? Absolutely insane. Even more intense than season 1. Each one was emotionally charged, raw, and masterfully choreographed. They didn’t just look cool they meant something.

Some were disappointed about Suho’s limited screen time, but I didn’t mind. This season wasn’t his story it was Sieun’s, and it told it incredibly well.

A raw, emotional, action-packed season that hit all the right notes. I loved every second

Weak hero class 2 did not disappoint

I absolutely loved Weak Hero Class 2. I waited almost 2 years for it and it was so worth it. It did not disappoint at all. I just really wish we got more scenes with Suho and Sieun together like I miss their friendship so much. But overall, it was amazing.

I love Sieun’s friend group so much. They were always there for each other, always helping and protecting each other. That’s what real friendship looks like. And I’m so happy Sieun finally has people like that around him. He went through so much and he really, really deserved it.

I really hope we get a season 3. There’s still so much story left and I wanna see them all again. I don’t wanna wait years again but even if we have to, I’ll still wait. Because I truly love whc.

it has become my comfort series.

Amazing, yet.........

Weak Hero Class 2 was an incredibly easy watch with no dull moments. As an avid fan with season 1 being my most beloved drama, I was incredibly excited to watch season 2 after such a long wait.

One of the things I loved in season one was that even though it was fast-paced, it didn't feel rushed in any way, the director let moments linger and things were left unsaid but were perfectly portrayed through facial expressions and small details for the viewer to pick up on, maybe not on the first watch but on the second, third etc. While I definitely had some small gripes with season 1, I was left satisfied with how things went and understood all of the characters and connected deeply with them.

However, for season 2 I feel like it definitely needed more time, maybe not with a whole 16 episodes, but possibly around the 10/12 mark. I don't know whether it was the directors stylistic choice to have the same amount of episodes as s1 or they felt that the shortness of the show would help its popularity/binge-worthiness? (also the episodes only being around the 35-40 mark is CRIMINAL, they 100% could have made them at least hit an hour) I'm not sure, but I will say that with the limited time frame, they definitely did all they could to show the progression of the 4 student's friendships and overall storyline, however I do think they underestimated how long it takes to really become attached to characters, maybe on a rewatch I will feel differently, but there were some moments earlier on that were meant to be emotional but how is the viewer supposed to resonate with the character if they know next to nothing about them? By the end of the series I for sure cared about them all though, the actors all did an amazing job, but idk, I feel like the directors missed the mark a little unlike with the s1 trio which is unfortunate.

Now onto Sieun, oh our little protagonist how I missed you. Every time I saw him I just wanted to cry for him, once again Park Jihoon did an INCREDIBLE job portraying this character, but honestly that was to be expected haha. You can really see on screen just how much he cares about this show and ensuring that he plays Sieun with so much care and tenderness. I'm so glad that they also included suho into the narrative, like they do in the webtoon, and effectively showed just how much sieun continuously cares for him.

Selfishly I do wish we could have seen more of suho, however I do appreciate that they didn't over-do it and give him some overly dramatic comeback scene, subtlety is the way things go between those two and I'm glad the directors stuck to that. I would LOVE to see the dynamics between suho and sieuns new friends, I feel like they'd either be the best of friends or get on each others nerves haha, probably a mix of both lmao. I was also very surprised to see a Hong Kyung- Beomseok cameo! it was a shock but I was pleasantly surprised, hong kyung is so amazing in his portrayal and it was great to see him reprise the role, even if it was short. I would have LOVED to see a young-yi cameo as well though :( she didn't even get a mention bless her :(

Now, onto the overall storyline, episode 8 ended with na baek-jin's funeral and su-ho waking up, which is how the webtoon ended. This does make me wonder if there will be another season? before s2 released I feel like people were pretty sure that it would at least be left as a cliff-hanger with the potential for season 3, but I'm leaning towards a pretty definite 'no' now. I could be wrong though as there are MANY story lines that could be picked up for a new season that they could tweak like they have with the last 2 seasons. I guess it depends on the response to this season and whether or not the director and actors would be on board. I'm getting wayyyy too ahead of myself but hey, when the show is this amazing it's expected to want to see more. We'll have to see!

Overall, I loved this season and am very happy with how it went, I do have small gripes, however I am able to overlook them because as a whole this season wasn't meant to be a carbon copy of s1, it was meant to have a different vibe and bring something new to the table, which I don't think I fully comprehended before starting as I was so caught up on season 1, which is on me lolll.

(I need a s3 asap 😭😭😭)

Met with Expectations but Hear me out…..

I have a lot to talk about this drama but I’ll summarise it briefly.
Story: I liked it. It was like the Mc was dragged into a random conflict between schools rather than his on personal life. But it felt right when he stood up for his friends. I was happy about one thing related to the past and you can watch it for urself. I won’t spoil. In short the season didn’t disappoint.

Acting: One of the best one in 2025! I really loved the depth, anger, sadness, resentment, the communicating through eyes thing. All of them are definitely good actors and it’s 10/10 for me. The actors didn’t disappoint. The fight scenes were brilliant and executed perfectly.

Now some of the off things are: The story didn’t feel consistent to me. Towards ep 5-6, I felt it was in a way slow but the first few episodes felt like passed too quickly. I wanted the friendship phase to go a lil long. Yes it’s an action drama but in s1 I still can’t forget the moments between Si Eun and Suho. But in s2 things got a bit faster. (Could be totally just my opinion) but I don’t think I would be rewatching it anytime soon.

It was a hit for me but like a one time thing. The Acting saved the day.

Could be much better

In short and with few spoilers:

Park Ji-Hoon's acting is still admirable, because it's not an easy role to play, so the season can't be bad. It's clear that it's not possible to make a season as good as the first, but I think this season could be much better.

Of course, the character connections can't be that good either, but we know almost nothing about the characters and it's all too obvious how much Si-Eun has experienced and how much more mature he is than them. That's why it hurt that the most important scene was so short and reactionless, I expected much more from it.

I really hope that there be a next season, because there are still a lot of blind spots in the story, for example, it was clear that there were still people over Baek Jin, but no one dealt with that. Nothing was resolved, I hope the next season will resolve it.

So there are a lot of things why the first season is far better, but overall it was enjoyable to watch, and if it were a separate season, it wouldn't be a problem, overall it's just the connection between the two seasons that's messed up. Thank you!

When Pain Shapes Strength and Silence Speaks Louder Than Words"

This season honestly hit hard. Si-eun comes back completely changed—cold, distant, and clearly still broken from everything that happened before. You really feel how much Su Ho's absence weighs on him. Even though he’s not physically there, Su Ho’s presence lingers like a ghost, guiding Si-eun’s choices and giving emotional weight to everything.

The new characters are really well done. Hu-min brings intensity and unpredictability, and Jun-tae has this heavy presence that makes every scene with him feel tense. What I love is that no one feels flat—everyone’s dealing with their own pain, their own past. There are no simple “good” or “bad” characters here.

Emotionally, this season hits deep. You feel Si-eun’s loneliness, frustration, and grief. Some moments are quiet but heartbreaking, and others are brutally raw. The drama doesn’t just show fights—it shows what those fights mean emotionally.

And the OST… especially “Awakening”—absolutely amazing. It fits so well with Si-eun’s turning points. It gave me chills every time it played, and really added to the emotional impact.

In short:
Weak Hero Class 2 is darker, more emotional, and incredibly well-crafted. Si-eun is unforgettable, Su Ho remains the emotional core of the story, and the whole season is a powerful look at pain, loyalty, and survival. This isn’t just a school violence drama—it’s about what happens when you lose everything and still find a reason to stand up again. Easily one of the most impactful dramas I’ve watched.

I don’t know if we’ll ever get a season 3, and honestly, I don’t even need a perfect ending. Just want to say thank you to everyone who worked on this drama—from the cast to the writers, directors, and crew. You created something powerful, emotional, and unforgettable. That’s more than enough. Thank you for Weak Hero Class.

Class 2 Never Reached the Heights of Class 1

I’m not sure exactly where, but it just doesn’t evoke the same feelings or excitement that viewers experienced while watching Class 1. We got amazing fight scenes, but it could be much more...

The biggest issue is the fact that the story no longer centers around a WEAK hero. Yeon Si Eun is no longer that brilliant, underestimated student. He’s become just another fighter. I had been waiting for years to see clever, strategic fight scenes where he came up with creative and original ways to outsmart physically stronger opponents. The scientific explanations behind his moves gave us a unique perspective on his character and made the whole drama feel different (and we didn't get that in Class 2). So why did the creators abandon that storytelling approach and turn him into… just another typical action lead? I think it’s truly unfortunate that this intelligent angle was lost.

In addition, the pacing and storytelling felt a bit off. I had the impression that character development wasn’t given enough space, and relationships between characters progressed a bit too quickly. I would’ve loved to see more emotional depth there.

Si Eun is supposed to be the main character, but at times it doesn’t feel that way. Also, I think it would’ve been meaningful to show something about his father — even if he disappeared from Si Eun’s life, I still wish we could have seen that. Family aspects aren’t always the most important part, but they do give us much-needed background.

The cameos we got were, in my opinion, really well done — especially Oh Beom Seok. It was an interesting and meaningful way to bring him back, full of weight and raw emotion. The relationship between the characters is built on deep regret and overwhelming sadness. I know many people hate him, but it’s hard to feel just one emotion — especially hate — when you’ve once known someone so well and loved them like a close friend. Those scenes gave the story incredible emotional depth, while actually revealing very little on the surface. That subtlety made it even more powerful.

We got to see many fantastic performances from a truly talented cast. They all have a bright future ahead of them, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for their upcoming projects. In my opinion, they really did justice to the characters they played, whether it was the protagonists, the villains, or even the supporting roles. And Park Ji Hoon is absolutely brilliant. There’s something in his eyes — a visible sadness, something broken — and through them, you can almost see his character’s entire soul. He’s one of the best actors of his age group, no doubt about it.

As for the flaws, I think the main issue lies with the creators — especially the screenwriter. Something clearly went wrong in the development process, and now we’re seeing the consequences. Maybe it was the pressure from producers or the studio’s vision, but it’s truly regrettable, because the series had the potential to be so much more.

Finally, I have to say a few words about the music — it was genuinely great. I mean it. I loved the choice of songs, and the way the sound design added even more emotions and meaning to the story (I also found them quite unique for a k-drama )

Overall, it’s a great drama — especially if you enjoy intense fight sequences and well-crafted action scenes. We got plenty of those, and most of them were quite well executed. I wouldn’t call it just another “school bullying” drama, because to me, it’s not. It’s a story about complicated friendships, the choices we make in life, the values we have and the strength it takes to stay true to them. I would definitely recommend this drama — you won’t regret watching it.
But for me, it wasn’t the story I had been waiting for. And probably not the one many of us had hoped for. It was really good… but Class 1 was simply perfect. And let’s be honest how many times you can get perfect score?
