i wasn't ready!!!
I have never given a drama a perfect score...or watched one in one sitting although a short one.first of all, whatever you're expecting, it's not what you'll get...at all.
also if you have a past in bullying mild or extreme this will be an emotional roller coaster...
that being said it's been a long time since I straight out ugly cried over fictional characters, but those last few episodes had me baying for blood and drowning in tears.
the revenge wasn't enough...all those f**ckers deserved way more...cowards!!!!...maybe I'm projecting
I'm so happy there was a hint about a continuation...because I feel unfulfilled...I need to see if Bum Seok is drowning in guilt...i hope so...and if my man Soo woke up and hauled ass to that other school...I seriously need that team back together...
.....now let me go finish my project???
Can't wait!!!!

El cast ni que decir, hicieron un muy buen trabajo, amé cada personaje, incluyendo los villanos porque hicieron tan bien su trabajo qué de verdad no los soportaba en el drama, de verdad una actuación increíble.
Park jihoon woow, se merece más reconocimiento y por favor, más papeles.
El único problema que tengo con este drama es que solo tenga 8 capítulos ?

You Need To See This
This is one of those dramas that will stay with me. It’s very emotionally heavy (lots of emotions bubbling underneath the surface) and it’s these volatile emotions that lead to quite graphic scenes of violence that may make viewers uncomfortable but I think it’s dramas like this one that needs to be viewed so that those emotions can sit with you. It’s important to feel these emotions vicariously (which you do - very much so) and recognise where they are coming from. They should resonate with you, as it’s a hard look at how people become this way.This drama was very illustrative, with the three main leads representing how someone can end up so far down a certain path. Each character is at different stages of that path. Soo Ho could have easily used his skills to become a school bully and give in to baser instincts but he doesn’t. Even when he has issues with Boem Seok he makes sure not to cross the line. He is someone who knows when to stop. Shi Eun is someone who was headed down the wrong path and about to give in to all his (understandable) anger and pent up frustration. I could feel him holding back in the earlier episodes. The tension was so thick and heavy, at times it felt suffocating so I can only imagine how much Shi Eun was being stifled by it. You can drown in those kinds of emotions and life circumstances where you feel like the boot is constantly on your neck. All that anger and resentment just to be greeted with more of the same each day. No wonder people in these circumstances flip out and rain down hell in a violent outburst when it finally breaks them and the anger comes spilling out.
Thankfully, Shi Eun was brought back from the brink before he went too far. He had someone like Soo Ho to pull him away from the edge and most importantly, Shi Eun was receptive to his help/intervention. This is where Boem Seok differs. The writers, director and most importantly; the actor, did a great job of showing the similarities and parallels between Shi Eun and Boem Seok’s characters and then showed how unlike Shi Eun, Boem Seok allowed himself to go to the brink. Unlike Shi Eun, he did not heed the warnings to stop before he was too far gone. And while he was justified in his anger and needing remedy for his pain; he crossed the line and became a victim who victimises.
What’s even more resonant is seeing how Boem Seok’s actions also drags Shi Eun past the brink as he loses it at the end and gives in to his pent up anger, frustration and resentment. Watching him in the second half of the finale, I felt so exhausted and emotionally drained. He looked tired, empty and like he had just returned from war, a shell of a person. This is the outcome when people are pushed too far. This is how someone loses the light behind their eyes.
The actors portray the complex states of emotions expertly. If you want to see characters who are real shades of grey; this is a drama that is a great illustration of that in the most harrowing way. You will not be disappointed.

ONE OF THE BEST!
This review may seem bias and all, but Weak Hero Class 1 is definitely one of the best school centered plot drama out there, in my opinion. From the beginning up until the end of the series, I can say that everything about it is just amazing. Each characters were able to put justice into their roles, and the acting is insane!As a Wannable, Jihoon was incredibly amazing in every aspect! Anyways, this is definitely a must watch AND rewatch, especially if you're into these types of dramas. ^__^

If I had to go off the scale I would
By far one of my fav kdramas of all time 10000000/10 , I had nth to complain about , it was perfect , I'm waiting unpatiently for the 2nd season.The choice of characters was sooo on point , I can't think of more fitting actors , it made me feel a lot of emotions, I was looking fit smth like this , if I had the opportunity to wipe my memory and rewatch it I would in a Heartbeat, it portrays high-school reality and from diffrence perspective through the characters , I specifically loved how they bonded by helping each other , all I can say is that u don't need to waste one second reading through reviews, just go watch it and thank later .

This drama surprised me
I had known about this drama for a few months but never actually started it since i didn’t think much of it from what I heard. All i knew is that Park Jihoon and Choi Hyun Wook (who i really liked in twenty five twenty one btw, he’s a great actor!) played the two main characters. I started it a few days ago and i have to say it’s so much better than i ever imagined.The story is something almost everyone can relate to, it’s about high school students who all have similar but very different lives at the same time. My favorite character was definitely Ahn Sooho (Choi Hyunwook), but I really liked Sieun too. I quickly got very attached to both characters, their friendship is so well portrayed and it’s realistic too. The actors did such a great job with that and had great chemistry as a duo.
This drama contains violence and I did see some people who thought about dropping it because of that. For me personally I love action dramas but I can understand that since it’s school violence and gets pretty extreme at times.
I want to add that I loved the music so much too! the intro song ‘Hero’ has been added to the playlist!! The music fits the entire concept of this drama and brought everything together and made it even more emotional ??
This drama constantly kept me on the edge of my seat and I had no problem finishing it in 2 days?
It’s no doubt one of my favorite k-dramas i’ve watched so far!

Intense
I saw this ranked #1 of all K-dramas on Letterboxd for 2022, after finishing My Liberation Notes (ranked 2nd). Seeing the premise, I immediately thought of a violent, unstopping tirade of power against the weak, but what I saw was that and power against those who choose to oppress the weak. Right from episode 1 you see a kid get revenge on his tormentor in a fashion nearly John Wick style that a certain level of torture has to bring about - the question then is, how far can you go, and they just keep on going. Korea always deliversVond je deze recentie nuttig?
"You guys are so predictable. Does this fill your ego?"
(+)To sum up this series: this is the ancient tale of the fragility of youth and/or the toxicity of macho masculinity. Wherein the only emotions that most males could muster here is their ego-filled aggression, anger, and greed.
(-)
School bullying and male aggression have been, as prior mentioned, an ancient tale. As if a vampire that continues to age, but never dies—these issues are almost, if not always, part of most KDramas and even those from other countries. Though, an ancient thing does not always mean a cliche thing, especially such matters that are as rampant and relevant as these mentioned subjects.
What made this series rather different was its straightforwardness right from the start. It was gripping to watch from start to finish as there were no unnecessary fillers neither irrelevant tropes. Although I enjoy a little romance at times, I was glad that it was rather focused on its very themes of youth, friendship, and violence instead of distracting the audience with side stories of romance as what most KDramas love to do.
It was satisfying to watch a main protagonist that is so serious about their studies and being a responsible student all while still not being a pushover and also not refusing to back down to bullies. It can be really exhausting to see this trope of a nerdy intellectual student who is always portrayed as weak or a pushover. Thus, it was really satiating to see the main protagonist apply their interests in maths, psychology, physics, etc. as a strategy in their physical fights in spite of not being absolutely gifted in physical strength.
(x)
The series is truly a heart-wrenching violence multiplied. Yet, it was also a sundry of heart-warming spectacles. Dark and horrific, but the humanity here was not blind.
(÷)
As much as I really liked this series, I still have some divisive opinions. I instantly appreciated the way they started this with the main protagonist applying maths, physics, and psychology in his physical fights. Though, towards the end, such premise deteriorated and was not properly utilized. I understood that towards the climax, the emotions of the main protagonist were totally heightened and desperate for revenge. Though, the revenge could have been much more intriguing and also consistent with the way they introduced his character if they utilized more such wit and strategic thinking.
(=)
Overall, I still can say that this series was absolutely outstanding, especially, in terms of acting performance, pacing, direction, and musical composition. I was really impressed with Si-Eun (Ji Hoon)'s performance here, especially that intense eye acting. Yes, I really love it when a thespian do know how to act greatly with their eyes.
The OST and the direction and choreography of the action scenes were also marvelous. The writing was also excellent, though I believe that there was still more necessary exertion to do. Though, I really despise this old tale of violence being a never-ending cycle. Thus, I am looking forward to its final end in the upcoming second season.

Incredible drama unfolded
Additionally, this series satisfied my appetite because I have always been a big fan of gory dramas. The drama's acting is something that needs to be discussed frequently because the characters keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wondering what their next move will be. Additionally, the relationships that were portrayed in the K-drama are noteworthy, particularly the bromance. Initially, when the main character is introduced to us, he is portrayed as a person who, in theory, has no empathy for or attachment to those around him. But as the story goes on, it becomes clear that this is all a façade. Once he becomes attached to you, he will stop at nothing to keep you safe, and even when you betray him, it is difficult for him to beat or destroy you. I discovered that this K-drama is based on a webtoon; even though the source material was not exactly adhered to, some homage was still paid to it. I am going to read the webcomic as a result, so I can confirm for myself that it is brilliant, just as everyone has said.The OSTs that were played really captured the spirit of the drama; I enjoyed them in every episode. This K-drama, which also has psychological overtones, should really be watched by everyone. I never rewatch movies or television shows, but I might make an exception for this series, so that is the only reason I gave it an 8 for rewatch value. I am excited for this Korean drama's second season.

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."
