A Sequel Carried by Attachment, Held Back by Its Flaws
Season 1 played a huge role in making us emotionally attached to the characters and, as a result, helped us appreciate this second season even more. Without that attachment, some weaknesses would have certainly been more noticeable. That said, Season 2 remains generally effective, even if it suffers from a few inconsistencies. The fight scenes are prioritized over story coherence at times, which weakens the dramatic intensity.
Nonetheless, certain moments, especially when Si-eun speaks to Su-ho while he’s in a coma, add a real sense of nostalgia. These emotionally charged exchanges strongly remind loyal fans of the impactful moments from the first season.
The biggest disappointment lies in the ending: Su-ho’s long-awaited awakening is rushed, leaving a sense of incompletion after so much anticipation. On top of that, Beak Jin’s death is handled almost incomprehensibly when it happens, making the scene even more frustrating. It hints at a possible Season 3, but given that the webtoon has been fully adapted, I doubt it.
As for the characters, Season 2 introduces several strong additions. I especially appreciated the introduction of new friends around Si-eun. My personal favorite wasn’t Hu-min "Baku" — although he made a strong impression — but rather Hyeon-Tak. His character reminded me of Su-ho: not as technically skilled, but with the same strong social presence. He brings a lot of humanity and courage to the story.
Finally, Jun-tae shows significant development: he gains confidence and manages to push himself beyond his limits thanks to the group's support, further strengthening the emotional bond with this new dynamic of friendship.
My ratings for Weak Hero Class alone are admittedly not very objective due to how attached I am to the series — but at least this review is.
