Although Weak Hero Class is set in high school unlike The Glory, where the FL is an elementary school teacher. The Glory has intense flashbacks of the FL being bullied by her high school classmates. Both dramas have revenge towards bullies. The leads of the dramas have also trauma from bullying/violence. Warning for violence for both dramas.

Similar school bullying settings but Pyramid Game is female-centric. Weak Hero Class is darker but Pyramid Game is more perverse. Weak Hero Class is more brutal and physical while Pyramid Game is more mental and strategic. Both protagonists are challengers of the system and are determined to survive and change their unfortunate situation.

Both have high school violence and bullying
Fighting in like every episode
Will definitely both make you cry
Both about 3 friends going through school
You can see the development and the destruction of their friendships
Recommended by Orangey
Both stories focus on friendship and misunderstandings that put that friendship in jeopardy. One of the friends becomes distant and aloof and behaves poorly while the other tries to keep their friendship alive. School bullying is a heavy theme in both films, as well. Weak Hero Class 1 barely has any romance in it while Night Flight is an LGBTQ film.

MC has similar character growth, both shows talk a lot about bullying and have tragic ending. Both have bromance between main character and his best friend who joked that they might be a married couple in previous life. Both have graphic violence, it's just that one is in military and one in high school (D.P. is more graphic). Both dramas have Hong kyung & Shin Seung Ho. Even the opening feels very similar.

I've seen most of Dokgo Rewind and, to me, these dramas have a similar feel. They're not exactly the same but I think that if you enjoyed this one, you'd enjoy that one as well.

First off both dramas have a duo that stick up for each other
Second; both dramas take place in a high school area
Third; many similarities in characters as in parents' absence/issues, too much pressure on the high school student, etc.
Fourth; both are about revenge it's just weak hero class 1 is a bit more thriller kind rather than hs return of a gangster where its mostly just fist fighting and knives.

It gives me similar vibes, the story of both shows is well directed & written. Both shows have action scenes.

Both are set in high schools with students as the main characters. They focus on themes of bullying (and defense against it) and the strength of male friendships. Both have great bromances and sad parts, though School 2013 has a happier ending.

- action dramas set in high school
- both have great fight scenes and action scenes
- some cast members are the same
- quite a lot of similar scenes; if you’ve seen weak hero then you’ll 100% get deja vu while watching duty after school

-Both dramas surrounded school bullying
-Both drama has rich spoiled kid who is abused at home and take it out by bullying classmates
-Both drama gives same vibes
Recommended by Ririone
Both dramas revolve around troubled youth/high school students and strong and heartwarming bromance. Although the plot itself isn't too similar, the vibes in general (youth & school setting, violence & angst, bromance & mostly male cast) are.
