One: High School Heroes (2025)

Sorpresa

Iniziata pensando fosse una copia di Weak Hero, ma dopo un po' le similitudini spariscono e la serie prende una sua identità. Non volendo fare spoiler, posso dire che la serie offre alcuni plot twist interessanti e una storia concreta. All'inizio si può pensare "ah ma è la solita storia di bullismo con la vittima che non ci sta e inizia a menare". Il tizio è intelligente e non si tira indietro, e per questo sembra molto weak hero, poi si discosta. Il passato del protagonista e del suo amico piano piano vengono fuori e si capisce sempre meglio il perché di tutto, così come quello del suo amico, è un building up scritto bene.
Forse un po' troppo invincibile il tizio? che dall'essere un qualunque studente diventa subito un picchiatore super forte che impara tutte le mosse? Questo è meno realistico.. e il finale anche fa storcere un po' il naso. Ma dai, proprio questo deve succedere?? Ma allora il papà è proprio uno... shiba!!!

Had potentials but lacked something along the way!!!

Episodes 1 to 4 were hands-down the best! The fight scenes had real intensity, and the male lead’s emotions were everywhere. In these episodes, EuiGyeom’s desperate struggle for survival was clear, his ability to learn his opponent’s moves added flair to the drama, making every fight feel meaningful and purposeful.

The masked era felt like it came and went in the blink of an eye, I expected more battles and hidden identities, but it ended too fast, leaving a sense of loss.

The worst father of the year? Absolutely. He treated EuiGyeom just like his own father treated him, despite losing a child. You’d think he’d be more lenient, but nope! His mother wasn’t much better, she stood by and watched her eldest son suffer, but at least she came through for the younger one. Maybe that’s a step toward redemption?

EuiGyeom endured torment from his brother, father, and grandfather, which took a serious toll on his mental health. Fighting was his only release, and he did it brilliantly.

The SML, he seemed like he’d be the stronger one, but in the end, he lacked the will and ability that his early portrayal promised.

Some fights were just unnecessary, like the one with the guy in the cap. His presence felt pointless, like they were stretching out the story for no real reason.

There were some golden moments too. One scene in 8 was so wholesome, the way he looked at his father before stomping on the bad guy’s leg was perfect. And during the fight, the transition showing everyone who had ever angered him? Masterful.

But wasn’t the trip supposed to be a rehab? Instead, it was more like a survival ground for a high school student battling mental health issues. Are they hinting at a Season 2 with this?

Overall, Episodes 1–4 were peak storytelling. I might just pretend 5 and 6 never happened, but the backstory in 7 was solid, and 8 was passable. If they had kept the intensity of those first four episodes, this could’ve been a truly great drama!
