Best 2023 Kdrama??
From the acting to the plot, everything about Boyhood was top tier. I loved the action sequences a lot, I wish there were more frightening scenes of Im Siwan without the mask.All of the other actors were great too. One thing I liked about the show was the genre switch, it felt jarring, but quite realistic at the same time.
Unlike most of the other revenge/underdog kdrama, Boyhood wasn't unrealistic. Like, yes Jang Byungtae ended up winning against Gyungtae, but it wasn't because of his strength, but endurance that he had built for YEARS.

Lack of a proper story
"I recently watched Boyhood (and loved it). As I noticed people comparing it with "Weak Hero Class 1," I became intrigued and started watching this action-packed Kdrama yesterday, finishing it in one day, lol.Now, regarding the comparison, Weak Hero Class 1 is as much like Boyhood as Titanic is similar to The Notebook. Yes, they share similar themes, but that's about it.
What I loved about Weak Hero Class 1 were the action scenes; they were satisfying, nicely choreographed, and looked cool. The acting was also great; the two main characters, Si Eun and Soo Hoo, had so much chemistry that I had to Google if this show was a BL, lol.
However, putting the positive aspects aside, what I didn't like about Weak Hero Class 1 was the lack of a proper story. The narrative kept changing, and the plot was inconsistent. It felt to me like the sole purpose of the drama was to showcase the fighting scenes instead of focusing on the story.
That being said, I loved the show and would definitely rewatch it sometime in the future."
