"For Every Good Action, A Good Reaction Follows"
Truth to be told, I've been ogling for 'Weak Hero Class 2' because of its spectacular predecessor aka season 1. Straight after completing 'High School Return of a Gangster', I immediately jump to this show with high expectations. Thank goodness, everything goes smoothly for me. Let's delve into the plotline now.
The plot is centered around Yeon Si-eun's life as he transfers to a new school after a chaos ensued in his former school. For the sake of his promise to Ahn Su-ho, Si-eun doesn't want to get involved in fighting or brawls anymore. However, fate plays a cruel joke and he must face new threat in Eunjang High School as a syndicate dubbed 'Union' keeps targeting Eunjang's students. Alongside his newly-made friends - the timid and amicable Seo Jun-tae, the boisterous Park Hu-min, and his loyal sidekick Go Hyun-tak. Combining their wits and strength, they decide to end the fighting once and for all and bring the peace they yearn for.
What I can say about the plot is that it is the most gritty and well-written storyline I've ever come across. It truly lives up to the season 1's reputation. The characters also have emotional baggage of their own, which adds a layer of emotional depth on them. I can't help but love this show more and more, even binging it for 3 days in one go. I must be crazy already, aren't I?
Acting are superb as well. Each actor is shining in their respective role. Park Ji-hoon comes back to reprise his role as the dark Yeon Si-eun and this time he deals with darker circumstance, where the guilt and remorse consumes him. Another worthy MVP maybe Ryeoun - he captures the essence of Hu-min's character very well and explores a wide range of emotions in an excellent way, including how he confronts his former best friend Na Baek-jin. Other casts also give strong performance and kudos to all of them.
Overall, a must-watch masterpiece that you shouldn't miss. I also wish there would be 'Weak Hero Class 3' so that we can see Si-eun's final year looks like. Good luck and happy watching!!!
