Weak Hero Class 1: Behind the Scenes Episode 2

Yet again, a classic collection of bloopers for the third and fourth episodes. Watching these makes me wish the main character smiled and laughed more, he looks so cheerful and weirdly out of character.

This was a behind-the-scenes collection of clips for the filming of the first and second episodes of the show. It was cute to see the bullies apologies after doing every bit haha. The acting was good enough to make you hate them on a fore-front level but this is a bit lessening for that hate.

The "I Don't Know Either" comeback was so sad and regretful. You know he was doing things irrationally, whatever darkness he had inside was too vast and did not just vanish after one or two mischiefs. This is a story where everyone lost, the kind of story that everyone who took part is gonna move on and never even talk about.It seems like the sea has much more fish, and even after a big transfer, Shi Eun is bound to deal with douchebags yet again. However this time around, there is no Soo Ho to provide support.

Oh hell nah, man.Yeah, at the beginning, I was getting Beom Seok's whole perspective, I was on the fence, but surely, he would pull through, right? He's not that type of guy, he's just not taking a breather to rationalize what he's supposed to react with. But no, the little weasel has done it.I just want the bastards to get it now.

SIgh, man, this show really knows how to make you hate a character.Although, it serves as a good build-up for what appears to be a final battle in the coming, and I hope it's as satisfying as this gang-up was frustrating.

This was a very hard episode to watch, and very heartbreaking.I can see and clearly understand where Beom Seok is coming from, which makes it harder to rationalize it as well, it's a very spot-on depiction of what exploding one's frustrations on things they are inherently against. His father's abuse, the bullying, feeling less than his friends, it all adds up to something very dark. Shi Eun was on the right track trying to get to him, but it seems, Beom Seok gave in to his temptations.

That ending shocked me to the core.That was intense, I was on my toes the entire amusement park situation. I thought Soo Ho would be enough to overpower that douche, I guess it took a team effort in the end to beat him. The trio all of them plus the girl did their part. Not gonna lie, I warmed up to the jock more.The part with the Assemblyman does not look like it's any good. Like are the boys going against the state next? haha.

It's always the adult who's hanging out with kids.It looks like this is gonna escalate higher than high school bullying and affairs, and I'm all here for it. I am feeling slight hesitations in the "antagonists" as well, so it might as well be the redemption type of stories.

I kid you not, I have watched battle Shounen Anime before which had fights less hype and exciting than the one featured in this episode. Everything from cinematography and how fast-paced everything feels, to the choreography chef's kiss.Forget Soo Ho, watching Shi Eun is also so thrilling, seeing how he can take the slightest overlooked opening from the opponent and take advantage of it, even if it gives him only a couple of hits till he's pinned down.So far, the antagonists really sell the villainous intents, I don't know if a redemption is entailed, but we will see.

This was a rapid escalation I did NOT account for.Is this about to be one of those school shooting original stories or something? Because it looks like the cute kid being pressed to the point of no return to me. I came here for Cheon Hyun Wook, but I guess I'm staying for the suspenseful "when will he break" moment.

Bravo!I can't believe it's finished, and how sad I am to see it done. This show has been the perfect incantation for "it's about the journey, not the destination" for me. It's crazy how we got baited into investing in a bunch of characters during the first two episodes, and then completely switching the scenery, with a twist to boot.I am so happy to see everyone living the happiness they deserve. I wish we got to see more about how the Grandmother coped with Yi Chan's loss afterward, but seeing everyone in the present and how they are told that everyone overcame that accident and lived happily to tell the story in the present.From the ground up, absolutely amazing show, with a great starting point and an amazing end, with not a single drop in quality throughout.

I let my guard down.Throughout the episode, there were so many tense moments, and even with the title itself being about the accident, I kept my guard up just in case something swipes the happiness away, because God, was it looking so happy for a while. Maybe that was my cue. But I did not want to accept the inevitable reality. I hate that it happened, but I love how it happened, perfectly like the Dad told Eun Gyeol, that he will save him no matter what, and in this case, even at the cost of his well-being.Either way, I'm at least very satisfied with how the living-in teacher was done and exposed, even though I wanted more to befall her. Perhaps we will get a glimpse at her in 2023 if she still lives.

I can't get enough of Chung Ah and Yi Chan scenes, seriously, even when they are just signing, it's peak TV.I don't think there ever was a K-drama "villain" that enraged me like Chung Ah's homestay tutor, gotta give props to the actress because clearly, she is doing a perfect job at enacting the most horrible human being ever.It feels weird that both Eun Gyeol and Se Kyeong are aware of each other, and how deeply connected they have been ever since the beginning, but at as least, a huge weight was put off my chest weirdly enough, although, now, it seems every other plot point was answered just in time to make it for THE biggest defining knot in the narrative. How did Yi Chan lose his hearing, and to be hones, I don't even want to know.

This is what I was waiting for, and who would have thought?I love the idea that what blows the cover at the end is letting go of the 90s lifestyle and using your smartphone for once. I also find it funny how they looked surprised and disappointed at the end, not because of the outcome, but because one is an iPhone user, while the other is a Samsung user.Whenever Cheong Ah smiles I smile too. She's so delicate and caring, and with so much trauma that she's willing to sacrifice her entire happiness if it meant to provide the slightest convenience to others.

The heartbreak had to come, even though we're hovering on top of the finish line.It's so sad yet so beautiful, how Cheong Ah tells Yi Chan that she's from a totally different world when in reality, he is bound to lose his hearing and eventually enter her "world" so to speak, and also how Se Kyeong tells essentially the same to Eun Gyeol when in reality, he IS from her same world.The festival performance ended up being very anticlimactic, but it was never about it, but more so about the journey leading to it.
