Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)

This review may contain spoilers

This was sooo good the actors played their characters well especially park ji hoon like when he slapped himself I felt it.

Beom seok was a prick with a inferiority complex who took out his family problems and his insecurities on others.

Si eun was a psycho and I loved it the look in his eyes was perfect to show how much of a psycho he is. At least he's a good friend who fought for hi friends unlike Beom seok

Soo ho is such a good friend who will do whatever it takes to protect his friends and I love that.

I'm convinced that the bullies had nothing to do with their lives so they bully kids whom they feel inferior to (most talking about yeong bin)

The only problem I have with this drama is that it is too short I need more soo I can protect my sanity. If the directors don't release a season 2 we gonna fight. I highly recommend this drama to ppl who like this kind of genre and those who don't like this kind of genre this series may be an opening to this genre

Best I've seen

I didnt see this until 2023 and I think this is my favorite so far. Binged it in one because I could not wait to see what would happen the next episode.

Park Ji Hoon is incredible in this series. He has such an amazingly expressive face, especially his eyes. He absolutely carries it and the reason I also then watched 'from a distance spring is green.'

The reluctant between Si Eun, Soo Ho and Beom Seok is wonderful, they have great chemistry and their acting is very strong in this series. Soo Ho brings some much needed comic relief at times. It makes the heartbreak even worse for what happens in the end. The last two episodes are an emotional rollercoaster and I cried like a baby.

Absolutely worth the watch, just keep tissues at hand.

Our world in a Kdrama!

Ten stars in some eyes stands perfect. Nothing is perfect in this
world, this show and the characters story showed us that better
than anyone ever could.
it showed that even if you have something people want it doesn't
mean you're happy. it doesn't mean you have the happiness which
people should be glad to have.

being silent doesn't mean you accept. accept all the things that are wrong in our world, in the fictional world nor the universe.

The next part of the text might be a little spoiler.. or not I am not sure, I wouldn't say it does but if it does I WArned you..

Beom (one of the characters) you know i hated you. I hate you, even though I understood
you, I understood you so well that it hurt. I watched as you burned
inside but instead of you extinguishing that fire you let it escape
and burn all those around you.
I know sometimes it easier to become the monster that you once
feared and ran away from . And I believe that humans are not born
bad, bad persons are born when life beats them up until they can't
see clear and they have nothing to feel. I don't want to believe in
monsters of birth but Beom still I stopped believing in you. I know
just you're lost. The darkness broke all the lights on the path you
chose, but I really hope you can light them again. .

the "might be a spoiler part end here"

It's true that the reckless violence in this story, it's not right and
seeing it makes me even more sad because our worlds in reality is
quite similar.
People shed blood until the other gives up. Some are ready to bleed 'till the other is nothing but a memory and some burned dust.

When you protect someone with the pounces you give and take it's blurs the line of wrong and right, and it's true nothing is just black and white. That's why I loved watching this show, thinking about
how the things the characters did were rightful or how they were
just so wrong and that why they broke me.

In the end I loved it. This was a little much to my brain and heart
because I cried and cursed so much because of certain
character(s) ... I am not pointing fingers here. okay!

If you like good acting,
a good story where the plot isn't too hard to follow
violence with really amazing fighting scenes
and maybe hating some characters and choosing sides I say watch
this series.... if you don't like those things.. then still watch it
watch it for Park Ji Hoon

okay thank youuu and byeeee!!!
have a good night I am going to sleepy sleep

If you can watch, don't lose time and go watch it.

My standards were pretty high with this one and it didn't disappoint me at all.
-First of all, the cast: I already heard about Park Jihoon's talent but I had never seen any of his works and all I have to say is that I am AMAZED. His character is portrayed flawlessly and his eyes had me amazed the whole time. Likewise, want to mention Hong Kyung's acting (Oh Beomseok), which also mesmerized me. All the casting was done perfectly.
-The story might seem like one of these typical bullying stories at some schools but I think it goes way deeper than that and that's what fascinated me.
You get to be on the skin of the characters and you can feel them and understand them, even when they do morally incorrect things.
-It has many fighting scenes, which some people might dislike but I honestly liked it because it showed the depths of the characters and how far they could go when they lost control.

As I said before. If you have the time and the opportunity to watch it, go and watch it ASAP. It is truly a gem.

Intense and immersive

The acting : the strongest point of this Kdrama. I will talk only about the main male lead of this drama but keep in mind that the others leads were exceptionnally great in their role too. I want you to discover it by yourself. Ji Hoon truly and exceptionanlly fits the character, and his acting is insane the way he conveys the emotions of a weak hero is so powerful.

The story was great overall but I did not really like the story with the girl and her brother. The other stories were absolutely great!

The music fits the drama although I do not really appreciate the ost "hero" by meego. The others are great to listen and fits the atmosphere of the drama.

The rewatch value: No doubt the rewatch value is high. I cannot wait for the season two.

watched 12/23-25

not sure what i was expecting when i fist jumped into this but it wasn't bad at all i liked the buildup of the friendships in the beginning and the acting was incredible. i do prefer the first half of the show but the tension that happened afterward just showed how traumatic and life changing decisions around bullying and assault can change someone's life. it does get frustrating and hard to watch at times so i wouldn't recommend to someone who doesn't enjoy violent scenes as it shows in almost every ep. maybe im the only one confused but im not sure how soo ho ended up in the end? was he dead or did he survive? what i found most frustrating was how beom seok had so many chances to apologize and change his actions before he could hurt another person but just failed to do so in every chance he gets? i understand he was bullied several times & harassed by his own dad at home and i actually felt bad for him in the beginning but i feel like if he just talked things out with the group things would be different than they ended up being, which i feel like was kind of the whole point of the show (how bullying influences/ changes people?) anyways shi eun was such a good character and ji hoon was incredible

An Emotional Odyssey from Weakness to Resilience

Weak Hero Class 1 is not just a drama but a testament to the power of storytelling. It's hailed as a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the indomitable human spirit transcending the typical high school drama tropes. I strongly encourage viewers to embark on this emotional journey, as it truly is an experience that lingers in the heart long after the final episode.

The drama's ability to balance intense action with profound emotion is highlighted as a standout aspect. Fight scenes are choreographed with precision, showcasing character growth and determination. Although full of fights and actions scenes the drama never loses sight of its emotional core, allowing the audience to connect with the characters on a deep level. It explores the power struggles within high school and although it might appear somehow exhagerated it portrays a realistic description of bullism. Seeing the characters getting their retribution gives an addictive feeling of immense satisfaction.

In the unyielding narrative of this drama, the refusal to subscribe to conventional notions of forgiveness becomes a powerful thematic element. The drama emphatically communicates that there's no necessity to extend forgiveness to bullies who perpetrate harm. Instead, it champions the idea that these tormentors will inevitably face their own retribution, delivering a sense of justice that resonates deeply with the audience. This stance, while unconventional, aligns with a broader message about standing resilient against those who seek to diminish us.

The drama imparts a resounding lesson: the indomitable human spirit is a force to be reckoned with. No matter our perceived weaknesses, we possess an innate strength derived from intelligence, resilience, and an unyielding will to overcome our limits and our deepest fears. Weak Hero Class 1 becomes a rallying cry, urging viewers never to cease the fight against those who attempt to push us down. The narrative invites us to recognize our collective strength, emphasizing that our intellectual fortitude and resilience can far surpass the limitations imposed by external forces.

In the face of adversity, the characters' journeys become a source of inspiration, illustrating that one's internal strength and determination can ultimately prevail over external threats. As viewers, we are encouraged not only to empathize with the characters' struggles but to internalize the message that we, too, can emerge stronger and more resilient in the face of challenges. Thus, Weak Hero Class 1 becomes more than a drama; it transforms into a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and a call to arms against those who seek to undermine our strength and potential.

The characters were meticulously crafted and flawlessly portrayed, with performances that are described as mesmerizing. My connection with the characters, from the timid protagonist discovering his strength to the charismatic antagonist masking vulnerabilities was truly heartfelt. Moreover, the cinematography and soundtrack were flawless, each of it was a true work of art that pictured in detail the true essence of each character's journey.

This drama is perfect 10 out of 10, a ride that won't be forgotten.
