Quite sad..
It was amazing in the beginning, but then it suddenly switched plots after episode 4 so I was like huh???? It was going good but if you don't like sad endings, episode 4 can be your happy ending. The sad ending is so similar to how I felt after watching 20th century girl. It's so hard to rate this low even with a sad ending, but I just wish I was prepared to cry and knew it'd be so so sad. All the characters were portrayed very well even if I've never read the webtoon so I don't know how accurate it is for that, but the acting was phenomenal. Park Jihoon only gets better and better as time goes on with his acting skills, I'm looking forward to see him in more things from now!Was this review helpful to you?

It's definitely a worthy drama to watch
This might sound so exaggerated but to me, it is so far the best bullying themed drama I've watched and will definitely watch it over and over again and not get tired of it. It is oddly satisfying knowing that the part where a weak and nerdy boy gets to beat up those bullies in the end is somehow a cliche, I am very satisfied at how the turn of events don't look so cliche.Normally, MCs get to start their game at the middle part of the story, this one's pretty intense since the action already started at episode 1.
It gives you a rollercoaster of emotions. You'll feel the rage at what the bullies do, you'll feel the happiness that the MC feels when he's with his friends, you'll get to feel the intense energy when he bursts and most of all, the sadness that he felt when their trio ended up in a solo. Too much heartbreaking for an ending but that's what made me so invested in it and it's season 2 that I am reading the webtoon already...

Three's definitely a crowd in this series
OMG!!!!! I cannot believe I finished the entire season 1 as soon as I started watching it! I loved it!!!! I am a huge fan of the webtoon series and when I started reading it, I was having a wishful thinking that they would adapt it in a drama series and viola!!!! Here is our drama.Season 1 gave the background story of Gray/Shi Eun and Stephen/Soo Ho's friendship and what happened way back there. The entire casts is superb! They really did a spectacular performance, with being a bully and a victim. I really abhor bullying, especially school violence as I don't get their reason in doing that? Self-fulfillment? Power? Validation? Why? If you're a victim yourself, why would you let others experience what your experiencing, instead of preventing it to happen to other people? You did bad things and then you justify what you did and blame it on other people, just to excuse your sorry self.
Really, Beom Seok/Bryce's character is really a sorry excuse for a human being, what a jerk, and definitely a coward person. I hate him!!!! I cannot wait for season 2 as Shi Eun will have a new set of friends/family in Eunjang High. Also, the fights there are superb! I want to watch if Shi Eun will use the "cola" can as a weapon. Anyway, I really enjoyed the series.

Great drama, I recommend watching it.
Disclaimer! I have not read the webtoon, though I plan to soon, this review is just based on the drama and doesn’t have to do with the webtoon.Personally, I really enjoyed watching this drama. Even though there may a be a lot of fighting scenes, they all make sense in the story and aren’t out of place. The actors are all so good in this drama, and I also found the overall plot interesting. I find the main character (Shi eun) pretty interesting as well. He may be weak to the others at is school, but he definitely isn’t stupid and he knows how yo handle things himself. If you’re looking for another drama to watch, or one to start watching kdramas, I really recommend Weak Hero Class 1. This is for sure one of my favorites by far.

Just click, you'll know
I would just like to say that just try watching first episode, you'll see yourself afterwards.I cried my heart out for the first time in a drama.... And I still can't believe it cause i rarely cry watching dramas... Yesterday at 11.00 pm, i just thought watching 1or 2 episodes of this drama cause i wanted to watch it so bad after my exams, and here i am bingewatched every episode, now its 3:30 am in the morning and my eyes are all swollen from crying and later i even have college to attend.
But as i watched i couldn't get out of it, the drama really displayed an emotional hardship of friendship , bullying, family problems faced by students in school.
And I hope nobody goes through all of these in their life.

I rarely give 10/10s across the board but this IS A 10!
Wow... Just wow. I mean, really this show just has it all. An amazing plot, characters that you either want to hug or kill, impeccably choreographed fight scenes, multiple scenes that give you physical reactions, i could go on...The acting in this is so good that you feel the threat behind each word and you can almost see into their heads on what they're thinking. And the soundtrack was also so well chosen and made this even more enjoyable (no real repetitive songs like some kdramas (not that this is a bad thing but sometimes you get sick of it as the episodes go by hahaha)).
I really don't want to spoil anything for those thinking of watching it but if you need a sign to dive into it, please take this as that sign. This is now one of my top 5s and I'm probably going to give it another rewatch straight away tbh.

Get ready with tissues, stress ball and enough sleep!
This series will give you a roller coaster of emotions from funny to sad to getting worked up on the intense fight scenes. Every character is on point and gave justice to their own roles. The feel of the entire movie also gets you more curious and drawn into the backstories of the main characters.Si eun was definitely destined for Park Ji hoon, he performed with everything he has to give justice to the character. One can never unsee him as an actor after even an episode alone.
I can only rewatch twice, I have to give it sometime, or else I can just keep dreaming about it all day!

YES YES YES YES YES
WOW.Soo this is not going to be a long Review but I really need to put my opinion out here and praise this drama. When I saw the rating from other people I already had high expectations - and let me tell u it was WAAAYY BETTER then I could have imagined!! The acting in this series and the crazy fight scenes are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I just couldn't take my eyes of it not even a split second. This is definitely going into my top 3 favorite kdramas. I really hope the second season is coming soon !!
This drama is a big yes for me DEFINITELY RECOMMEND even if u are not in to dramas with fighting scenes then the story will change your mind on that !!! GO WATCH IT NOW!!

its just So Good
like if i hve to be for real then this is one of the best adaptations from a webtoon like yes there has been some things switched around from the webtoon to the drama but it was still hella good and also not to mention that park jihoon’s acting in this was so phenomenal like the way he portrayed the emotions for each different episode like he is what you call an idol-actor like he is one of the best. even if you havent read the webtoon yet you can still enjoy without reading but i think it is better if you read the webtoon first because with this drama its a flashback with suho while as we were left off with a cliffhanger for when hes in eunjang the webtoon starts while hes in eunjang and goes on from there. but anyways this is hella recommended to watch and i absolutely love it.Was this review helpful to you?

so so good
i watched this in one night, it is currently 5am and i am in tears at this series.the acting is amazing, park jihoon done such an amazing job with the emotions and his eyes are just incredible
it had a good amount of violence and really just told the story of their friendships with each other which I enjoyed a lot
really hoping for a season 2, id like to see how shieun copes at his new school and whether sooho lives or not? and do they keep in touch? I really hope so
seeing how sooho brought shieun out of his bubble, made him smile, encouraged him to live a little was very nice so I hope they can continue living together

THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOOOOD!!!
Brooo!!, I'm not a big fan of watching violent dramas, but this drama is just too good, I remember watching the first episode and saying "Wow, I'm probably going to drop this drama after episode 3" but yeah, I was wrong for the first time. This drama is well executed, Yeon Si Eun and Soo Ho, gosh, they're my favorite characters. That damn Oh Beum Seok, or whatever his name is, is so damn annoying, specifically his uncle, like bro, just send him to jail, and don't cover up for him. Anyway, I hope to see Weak Hero Class 2, cause that ending was such a good cliffhanger. Yeon Si Eun and Soo Ho, your acting was just too good, you have earned my respect, only Lee Jae Wook, Liu Te, and Cha Eun Woo have earned my favorite actors spot, now you have earned that spot too, I shall watch all of your dramas. My Overall Rating: ♾️ out of 10, more realistically》A MASTERPIECE.Was this review helpful to you?
Steep decline
It was good until it just...... wasn't. Didn't take too long to go sour, but the shift from some potential growth to whatever that second half of this mess was felt almost jarring. It's pretty obvious this is something written for men, the lack of depth to any of the characters--especially the female ones--was almost laughable. The saving grace of this was Park Jihoon and Choi Hyunwook. Their chemistry on screen was amazing. Really hated the ending and how we never saw Jeon Seokdae again, he was such a promising character... I'm just glad this wasn't long, though I'm also not sure how they managed to stretch this storyline for the eight episodes they did. Anyway, I see a lot of potential for a lot of the cast in this, I just hope they get roles in better written series.Was this review helpful to you?
