Not for the faint of heart
π±π±π± When I tell you I nearly got a heart attack every time our ML went berserk, it was done so cleverly that it was ultra believable. My heart was pumping so hard and I was panicking so hard in my native tongue.My eyes started to well up when Soo Ho went down. He so didn't deserve what he got, he was only trying to be helpful and looking out for his friends.
After Beom Seok almost killed a person I was glad that he got beaten up by the assemblyman even though I was sad about it before s*** hit the fan. Also, are those beatings even a solution, he got used to it anyways, which begs the questions are beatings even an effective way of getting a revenge against him.
In the end I have a confession to make, I didn't watch all of the episodes completely, I skipped through our guys getting the raw end of the deal it was just way too intense for me, hence the title of this review. For the people who don't get too invested in the characters you should have no problem watching this all the way through but I just couldn't handle the emotional wreckage.
This was only 8x45min episodes it would be so much harder to bear if it were the full Korean format.

Was not expecting this to go the way it did
I had know knowledge of the story this is based on, so I went into this 100% blind. When I started this, I was so into it and thought it was going to be one of those found family sort of tropes. And that's exactly what I got in the first 4 episodes. The first 4 episodes lulled me into a sense of comfort and I really enjoyed seeing the friendships build in between all the violence.Then the last 4 episodes happened, and completely shattered that sense of comfort and my heart right along with it. Everything the first 4 episodes gave me was taken away by the last 4 episodes. It was heartbreaking seeing how quick Beomseok changed into a completely different person. And the result of that was absolutely devastating. This show was a huge rollercoaster, and I loved every second of it. (I have a thing for shows that make me sad and break my heart, and this did a great job of that)
I don't know if the next season will appeal to me as much with all new characters, but I know it follows the source material a bit more, since this was just a flashback to lead into the actual story.

Upsetting but perfect ending
The series is well done almost on every aspect, great acting, good story, fantastic action and most important a perfect and reasonable ending, maybe most people won't be satisfied with the ending because they used to the happy endings which is on my opinion can destroy a perfect story, so all respects to the director and writer for going for what the story needs and not what people want.Was this review helpful to you?
I am Made of (Suppressed) Anger
GOSH! Let me heave a sigh first because I have been holding them while watching this drama!My scoring towards this drama is mostly driven by how the main character unleashes my hidden emotion. Yeon Sieun is not just having anger issues, I think he's a little bit insane in the head. The pacing for this drama is really good, it matches how Sieun thinks and the uneasiness in between it. Also, the action performed by Suho is really satisfying. And also, would like to give kudos to the character development of Bumseok. If someone asks me what are the titles of drama genres that I love, I'll add Weak Hero Class 1 after Extracuriccular on the list! Can't wait for the next season.

definitely rewarching it!!
this one is brutal at times and makes you really feel uncomfortable in certain situations and that comes from the actors, especially jihoon, who put an incredible performance. this drama made me feel a mix of emotions - warm, sad, angry, stressed. it really grabs alm the attentio and i binged the last 4 episodes. i was a mess at the end because the last 2 episodes made me cry so much. the characters made me have a soft spot for them - sieun and suho will always have a special place in my heart. i canβt wait for next season!!Was this review helpful to you?

A Kick*ss Drama
WEAK CLASS HERO (Weak Hero Class 1) despite its corny name, was a pretty baller Kdrama. I went into this one not really expecting a whole lot, keeping my mind open, but ended up deeply intrigued.This was a pretty cool kdrama. The series is in the action / thriller genre and was very exciting! The characters and story make this series a very compelling and memorable one.

If u haven't watched this yet, you gotta watch it.
This is one of the most remarkable series i've ever watched.The main character doing all that for his friend Soo ho and Beom Seok is what real friendship means.
Beom Seok being a traitor is really shitty after all they did for him.
There are alot of fights and blood so it's not recommanded for those who don't like blood, but overall it's a really good kdrama.
This is a 10/10 rated kdrama and you gotta watch this if u love revenge, friendship, action, and hope.

Dropped Halfway In
Dropped halfway in, I think another overrated show on the list.I got a bit tired watching a protagonist that 24/7 looks like he wants to cry. I kid you not, watch it yourself, it always looks like he's about to cry. Couldn't care much more for his other buddies. The dialogues and many of the action sequences lack the usual urgent, thriller feel. I also watched this based on episode 1 which showed a calculating, butt kicking main character. However, after the first episode, his first big conflict was approached in such a goofy, foolish and naive manner that made me wonder "what happen to that guy we saw in the first episode?" After that, I just lost my drive to watch. I honestly thought I was going to see some nice, calculating, bad guy butt kicking but end up being bored and disappointed. And again, watching a main character that keeps walking around like he's about to cry or he's high on some kinda drugs all the time, no thanks.

I see this being compared to DP, which is a masterpiece...both these dramas are melodramas whose OSTs feature the same artist (Meego), but that's where the similarities end.

the best drama!!
I saw this when I was scrolling on mdl. I clicked on it. I watched it. in one night. this drama was so good!!! I felt multiple emotions, happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. everything in this drama was perfect. the fighting scenes, the acting, the visuals, I really liked the script. I am the type person who gets second hand embarrassment extremely easily. nothing they said make me feel schem(second hand embarrassment). In the last ep's (5-8 ep) these are the most sad ep's. even though I have never dealt with bullies, this drama truly made me know how serious bullies are. I truly think that beom seok should have spoke up of his problems instead of destroying himself. I feel like his heart was always kind but because of his trauma, it kinda effected him. I'm so happy that shi eun stood up for himself and gave the guys who deserved a beating a beating. I really hope when season 2 comes out, ahn soo ho will be out of the coma, he was my fav person in this drama. oh, if you guys wanna watch the drama, you can go to kisskh. search it up on sarfari or Google!! thx for readinggWas this review helpful to you?
