Season 1 and season 2 feels like an upside down
Season 1 deals with Sieun, Suho, and Beomseok, who are supposed to be just side stories in webtoon, turning into detailed and good stories.
Season 2, which was supposed to be long, detailed, and main story, was told in just 8 episode which sadly long-winded. I can accept the slow paced at first, but they didn't immediately enter the main story and spend time in episode 1 with Sieun at the new school—traumatized from past event
Without explaining it, we know how traumatic he is, but that's not the point. Sieun is facing new challenges at his new school. Even at the end of episode 1 it's a time-wasting cliffhanger.
So much important things that's not explained in the drama. It feels like it's just pouring in and hoping the audience understands what's behind it.
It's important to show that Sieun is the pillar of Eunjang High School by showing that he is capable of fighting, but it was suppressed from the beginning with the reason that Sieun was traumatized. When finally Sieun meet Baekjin and Songje, the reason was again invisible. They know that Sieun is dangerous, but there is no visible proof that shown. Only rumors in the past that shadows Sieun's name.
From the first eps I realized, the story would be really different. I was looking forward to it, but it turned out to be badly execute. They chose to focus on the stories between Sieun, Humin, Hyuntak, Juntae and Alliances but did not explain from the beginning what the urgency of the Alliance itself. The Alliance only explained in detailed at the end when Hyoman tell about the Alliance's business. Alliance brutality points are about 10 points in webtoon, but they only show half of it.
Is this important? for me it is. Because one of the core of Weak Hero beside Sieun etc is Alliance and Na Baekjin himself
I feel like the whole story was dragged and delayed, Park Humin was just introduced in episode 2, waste one more episode to get into the main story. Instead, they made an insignificant plot between sieun hyoman juntae hyuntak.
If you're not webtoon readers, I think you'll be fine, I'm fine if the plot changes if the execution is good BUT compared to season 1, I can't help but say that the feeling and the excitement of Weak Hero disappeared in season 2.
Some GOOD things from season 2 I think:
1. Seo Juntae and Park Humin's character writing more diverse than webtoon
2. climax scene between Eunjang and Alliance
The story build-up pretty good, but that's just it. The credit scene ending is so funny, I wouldn't be surprised if the non-webtoon reader was confused why the ending like that 🤣
I know that between webtoon and drama can be different. But the point is when I watch Season 2, I don't have the same feeling I felt in Season 1 and when I read the webtoon.
They have an incredibly great cast, but squandering such a good story into just 8 episodes is... disappointing 😟
