Weak hero class 1
Well I know this is one of the most hyped drama (I will not say overhyped since it is really well played and at the time I do not think there was any other as liked "revenge" type of drama) and I probably did not watch this at the right cause it is after Friendly rivarly and meantime Buried hearts (so there is already revenge) and after Newtopia (so violence also was tthere) - I just should have watched something lighter waiting for The divorce insurance - but moving on, still not bad rating, simply not for my The best of 2022's list.
Okay moving on to characters (I will write actors' names but I am writing about characters):
Park Ji Hoon - he is amazing actor, his role is totally different from At distance spring is green (Love him there) or Love revolution , his character at the beginning made me think that he would work great in The uncanny counter (maybe someday if we will get season 3 - also now I want him, Cho Byeong Gyu, Kim Sejeong and maybe Roh Jeong Eui in one drama) - in my opinion he for the first time had real friends, so he became really close to them. Also I think he felt guilty, that it was his fault that CHW was taking revenge and that is why everything bad happened (although great bromance - I really see only frienship between him and the rest of guys), in the end he needs to heal after all this trauma (it is clear that it is there) - also he was not weak, since episode one he knew how to fight and knew how to protect himself, the weakest in this was HK.
Choi Hyun Wook - he did not deserved what happened to him, but he isn't a saint (none of the main 3 is to be honest - violence is not the only solution), he was super friendly and maybe it is the reason why some people got wrong idea (guy number 3) or maybe he is bi if we really looking into boy/boy love. Spoiler - it was said that he will not wake up - so I guess his injuries was so bad that he is in pernament coma, probably brain dead.
Hong Kyung - guy number 3, well his father is sh*t, so in this terms there is a lot of reasons to feel bad for him, also I do believe that he fell in love with CHW (maybe his sexuality was a reason for bullying in his former school), if all of his actions as some people are saying was because of instagram then it is literally the most stupid reason, it was simply jealousy......but still his actions was wrong, nothing justify this, he went too far and he is not a victim (at least he felt a little guilty and cared that CHW was in bad condiction, still he is a villain in this story).
Lee Yeon - she did nothing wrong!!! it was not her fault at all, she was more like a sister to CHW, he took care of her so it is only natural that she wanted to be close to him and it is clear that she was more into PJH (and I would like them together), she also did not really wanted to exlude HK, it was also new to her, keep in mind that she also did not have normal life.
Also nice to see some actors I knew from other dramas: Shin Seung Ho, Cha Woo Min, Yoon Jung Hoon, Kim Su Gyeom and Jo Han Chul (totally different father from Love next door). Worth mentioning: Na Chul (RIP).
I think that there were a little too much violence and too little their friendship/bond, they keep telling about killing - so none of them was saint neither right in theirs behaviors - you cannot beat violence with violence - but it is this type of drama and it is about bullying (extreme level). Ending make it clear for me that no matter where you go the same problems, violence and bullies will be there.
I do not see a reason for season 2 to be honest, but if it will be released I will be watching. I understand why people love it, it reminded me of Dokgo rewind, acting is perfect, episodes are short but there is actually a lot happening, so to sum up yeah it is worth watching.
