Centered on two characters
Many people say that the ending was terrible, but for me, it was the best possible conclusion the writers could have given. The whole series showed just how far people are willing to go when enormous amounts of money are at stake.The two characters I especially want to highlight, whose final confrontation happened at the very end, were Seong Gi-hun and Lee Myung-gi. They were complete opposites, representing entirely different attitudes toward the situation. Seong Gi-hun was deeply moral, and with his famous line “We’re not horses, we’re people”, he expressed his defiance. By refusing to continue the game, he stood against the creators and their degrading, manipulative treatment of desperate people.
On the other hand, Myung-gi’s character embodied the complete dehumanization of man — a total lack of empathy, morality, or humanity.
These two characters created an incredible contrast, which, in my opinion, was the very essence of the entire series.

One of my fav dramas
Weak Hero was one of the very first K-dramas I ever watched, and it has truly earned a special place in my heart. The story pulled me in right from the beginning, but what stayed with me the most was Sieun. He is my favorite character — someone I deeply relate to and understand on a personal level. Watching his journey felt both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.I will also never forget the opening song. The moment I hear it, I am instantly taken back to the atmosphere of the drama. It’s become a melody that will always remind me of Weak Hero and the emotions I felt while watching it.
And of course, I can’t forget to mention my slightly unhealthy obsession with all the villains. Seong Je was definitely my guilty pleasure throughout the show — the kind of character I know I shouldn’t root for, but somehow I couldn’t help myself.
This drama isn’t just a show to me — it’s an unforgettable experience, and I know I’ll carry it with me for a very long time.

DAMN IM IN LOVEEE
OH MY GOD, IT WAS AMAAAAZING! It was the first Chinese BL series I’ve ever watched, and I’ll never forget spending the whole week just waiting for Monday and Tuesday to watch this masterpiece.The main protagonists are perfectly matched to their roles, and it’s just so enjoyable to watch them on screen. The chemistry and tension between Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei, OH MY GOODNESS.
Tian Xiu Ning in that role… I have never seen anyone play a more nonchalant, mysterious character in a BL. Wei Wei was sweet and funny, and his overreacting was absolutely hilarious. That pair created an incredible contrast of personalities, which was truly captivating.

As for the scenery and music, they will stay in my memory forever, giving off such a vibe. That being said, even though I really loved it, I was often frustrated by the lack of communication between the main characters, but, thanks to that, the series kept me constantly on edge and full of emotions.
Overall, thanks to this series, I’ve gotten used to riding such a wave of different emotions that I can’t even put it into words.
