This show captures the essence of true friendship!
Weak Hero Class 1 (2022) – 10/10This drama hit like a punch to the gut—in the best way possible. Weak Hero Class 1 is short but brutally impactful. It doesn’t waste a single moment. Every scene is filled with raw tension, emotion, and purpose.
What makes this stand out isn’t just the action (which is intense and well-choreographed), but the emotional weight behind it. It’s a story about bullying, loyalty, and what happens when a quiet, brilliant kid is pushed past his breaking point. Park Ji-hoon gave an unforgettable performance—cold, controlled, and heartbreaking. His character, Yeon Si-eun, is one of the most compelling underdogs I’ve seen in K-drama.
The friendship between the three main characters was beautiful and painful. It showed the longing for connection and the cost of trusting in a cruel world. The writing is sharp, the cinematography is stylish yet gritty, and the soundtrack fits perfectly with the mood.
It’s not just a school drama—it’s a survival story. One that forces you to confront the realities of violence, trauma, and isolation, while still holding onto something human.
An absolute must-watch. Gritty, emotional, unforgettable.

10/10
actually worth the wait, I just want season 3 now bc I’m more hooked than I already was .😭 The acting was amazing (like always bc you can’t go wrong with jihoon) and I liked the storyline even though it was different from the webtoon , but to be fair they did have to adapt it a bit to be more realistic. Overall I loved this show since before season one came out , and now watching season 2 I only like the show more. I would definitely recommend this kdrama to people (I already have). And I’ll probably be rewatching it a few times bc this show just genuinely makes me happy.Was this review helpful to you?

Another day another Ktruama
I really enjoyed it! The acting was great, and the casting was amazing. I loved most of the characters, and Su Ho and Si Eun's friendship was fantastic. Beom Seok really pissed me off; I hated how he betrayed them for basically no reason. Seriously, just because he was jealous that his little boyfriend made a new friend? I don’t care if his dad beats him—that’s no excuse to turn on your friends and literally “kill” them. I honestly wished Si Eun would have taken him down instead of the others because he was the main problem. But overall, I really liked this show and the friendships in it and can’t wait for season 2!Was this review helpful to you?

? “One Boy vs. an Entire School of Bullies.”
Here’s the story of Weak Hero Class 1
At a high school full of violence and bullying, there’s a quiet student named Yeon Si-eun. He looks weak and fragile, but in reality, he’s extremely smart and strategic.
He’s not physically strong, but he uses his intelligence, observation, and clever tactics to defeat bullies who terrorize other students.
Si-eun fights using anything he can find — pens, books, chairs, walls — whatever’s around him becomes a weapon.
As time goes on, he goes from being seen as a weak kid to becoming one of the strongest and most respected students in school.
He also starts forming real friendships and faces the trauma and violence in his environment.

Heartrenching, enraging masterpiece
Tbh I’m a fan of the manhwa that happens to also watch kdramas etc, and let me tell you this was 100% it for both.Plot wise it doesn’t cover the story of the manhwa but tells the story before the beginning of it. Bits and pieces of the drama have appeared in the manhwa in flashbacks and such but not, well, not THIS.
They took a story about a teen who facing tough times and his own genius, ends up making actual friends ready to stand by his side through everything and making the best casting choices I’ve seen to date brought it to life.
Every single actor have their moments and they all make you actually connect. The scenario is built in a way that kills your insides at the end but also makes you understand the manhwa in such a different light. Every reader have their own suspicions when reading but actually coming face to face with such a story and that, done through such acting, directing, everything is perfection.
Idk what else to say, honestly I’ve seen this one too many times.

Timeless School Action Drama: Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)
I watched *Weak Hero Class 1* right when it was released in 2022, and it instantly became one of my favorites. After recently finishing *Study Group*, it suddenly reminded me of this gem, so I had to come back and write a review.The fight scenes are *superb*—intense, raw, and brilliantly choreographed. The acting is top-notch, especially by the main lead **Park Ji-hoon**, who absolutely nailed his role with quiet intensity and emotion. Choi Hyun-wook and Hong Kyung (Choi Woon-sik) were also fantastic—every character felt real and memorable.
I went into this drama with zero expectations and came out totally impressed. It’s gritty, emotional, and powerful—a perfect blend of action and heart. If you haven’t watched it yet, you're missing out. A must-watch for fans of school action dramas!
Now I’m *seriously waiting for Season 2*—this story deserves to continue!

One of the best kdramas I've watched in a while
Ima try to keep it sweet and simple, the actor portrays the protagonist so well, it really resembles the webtoon version (Gray) especially those eyes. they made Bryce (Beomseok) way too kind and gave him a bigger role than what he's supposed to have ngl... but it is the first season and it's all about his backstory so maybe they wanted to exaggerate it even more and give more depth to his character... because in the webtoon he's a piece of crap. Suho(stephen in webtoon) is easily my favorite character and quite literally is the reason why Sieun/Gray is who he is and where he's at right now. It's crazy to me that I've seen people acting like he doesn't deserve the hype, like hello?!that being said,
don't come near me with a pen

Emotionally grappling
The intricate relationships between the characters, the raw emotions portrayed, and the intense conflicts they face make the story captivating and thought-provoking. The way the characters navigate through their challenges, support each other through thick and thin, and ultimately find strength in their unity is truly inspiring. The story delves deep into the complexities of human nature, the power of friendship, and the resilience needed to overcome life's obstacles. It is a rollercoaster of emotions that will keep you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating what will happen next.Was this review helpful to you?

Camaraderie
This is my second time watching this outstanding drama series!! I have not watched the webstoon yet, but I will because sometimes there may be something that the writer incorporated into the storyline that the drama had to omit due to guidelines plus after viewing the series I know it would be worth the read!!All I can say without projecting any spoilers is to watch the magnificent series about “camaraderie.”
After watching this series, you’ll realize what true friendship means and you may even question your own “inner circle” of friends.
Trust me, you will not be disappointed….that
I promise you!!
I can not wait for Season two!!
I am looking forward to Season Two!!
