I've always wondered. The actors who often play the bullies in this kind of kdrama, often they have done 2-3 drama…
It's probably not because they want to as just extras. I think it depends on their agency. Actors from big agencies often get significant opportunities to play lead roles even if they aren't famous yet, they're often given a big break. Others usually have to go through auditions. Others are just lucky. As you noticed there are many rising Korean actors/actress right now and it's very competitive, specially rookies/younger.
Looking at the main poster, four of the eleven greyscale puzzle characters are already confirmed dead.The pool…
episode 6 is the most interesting. My bet is that Captain Yang is the accomplice, and it's either the two doctors could be the culprit. But the girl doctor is the most suspiscious for me.
These shippers have gotten so toxic... first here, and now they’re coming for Lee Jun Young on X 🤡 like, seriously??? It’s gone way too far.
I miss the good old days when I was just peacefully reading the webtoon while waiting for the next season to drop, then coming back here every day for updates. Now, it’s nothing but messy shipper wars clogging the comments. Aren’t y’all embarrassed? The new crowd really ruined the whole vibe.

"Just a good story with nice fighting scenes"? Are you seriously kidding me right now? That’s such a shallow take. I could write an entire thesis breaking down how much deeper this show actually goes.
It's those with the most personal issues or baggage who get the most upset about other people's gay ships. Have…
Hey, just to clarify.. I didn’t mean I was standing up for people who are actually being rude or hateful. I definitely don’t agree with comments that attack characters or make fun of ships. My point was more about how some fans..who just don’t see the show as BL -get labeled unfairly. I’m all for respectful discussion, and I think we can disagree without assuming the worst of each other.

You say it’s wrong to make assumptions about shippers being "isolated, lonely weirdos"—fair enough. But at the same time, you're okay with attacking genuine fans of the show and labeling them as homophobic just because they don’t see or agree with your fantasy ships? That seems like a double standard. NOT everyone who disagrees with BL interpretations is being hateful....they just enjoy the story as it is. Also, you're kind of weird for replying to every comment here that tries to explain this show isn’t BL, to be honest.

"But assume the fans referring to the drama as BL are being serious”? Because AGAIN I care about the message and how this drama impacted me emotionally, that’s why I became a fan in the first place. Do I really have to explain that again?
I’ve clearly explained my point. And saying “they’re seeing something you’re not” doesn’t automatically make it valid either. It just shows they’re projecting their own interpretations. That’s fine in fan spaces, but let’s not treat it like it’s the actual story when it’s not.
Anyway, that’s your opinion, and I respect it. I’m just sharing my disappointment that some people are interpreting it this way. It kind of overshadows the deeper, emotional meaning the drama was trying to show.
I think people can ship anyone as long as it's respectful, but these statements from the director are pure queerbating,…
Exactly! From that interview, it seems like they're just teasing the actors and fans because they know people are really into these ships. It's a clear example of queerbaiting.

I'm honestly tired of the "you're just being homophobic" card being thrown around whenever someone tries to explain this.
First of all—I'm bi. So no, this isn't coming from a place of hate or fear. It's coming from someone who genuinely loves Weak Hero Class for what it is. What drew me in wasn’t some fantasy or ship—it was the impactful, emotional, and realistic portrayal of Suho and SiEun’s friendship. The kind of bond that’s raw, loyal, and healing. I even went on to read the webtoon because their story hit me that hard.
What’s frustrating is how people are twisting things—especially that interview where the actors and director joked about the characters being “in love.” That moment was clearly just playful teasing meant to engage fans, not a serious confirmation of a BL narrative. The director was simply riding with the fun, not declaring the show as something it’s not. But some fans have taken it way out of context and convinced themselves this is a BL story, when it's clearly not.
It hurts seeing that powerful message being diluted just to fit someone’s shipping fantasies. Again, nothing wrong with enjoying BL content—there’s a space for that too—but calling Weak Hero Class a BL show does a disservice to the actual story.
Friendships like theirs matter. Boys can love each other, protect each other, cry for each other—and still just be friends. That’s a message worth highlighting. But instead, people pushing the BL narrative are making others go into the show with the wrong expectations. It ruins the emotional experience, especially for new viewers who haven’t seen it yet.
I’m not saying people can’t enjoy what they want, but let’s not forget the heart of this show: the power of friendship, grief, and healing. That’s why I became a fan in the first place.
I just want to express somethingggg. Some fans seem to be misunderstanding the nature of the main characters’ bond. It feels like the real meaning of their friendship is being overlooked.
Let me be clear..this isn’t about being homophobic. This is about how genuine, deep, platonic friendships between boys are often misinterpreted as romantic or "BL" the moment they show vulnerability, care, and emotional depth toward each other.
This show does an incredible job portraying raw, realistic friendships especially among boys who have gone through pain, trauma, and isolation. The love they have for each other isn’t necessarily romantic. It’s brotherly love, loyalty, and emotional connection that runs deep. That kind of bond is rare, and it’s important.
Even the creators mentioned in interviews that the characters are “in love”—but not in a romantic way. They meant it in the sense of an unbreakable platonic bond. It’s heartbreaking that we’ve come to a point where close male friendships are immediately assumed to be romantic or sexual.
Can we please normalize strong emotional bonds between boys without forcing it into a romance narrative? It doesn’t need to be a BL. The power of Weak Hero Class lies in how it portrays friendship, pain, and healing. Let’s not distort that message.

Hope this helps.
