Weak Hero Class 2 Review (Spoilers Ahead)

I know this review is a bit late, but I hope my thoughts make sense of Weak Hero Class 2 if you've already watched it. My take might differ from others, but I have to be honest—I didn’t enjoy Season 2 as much as I hoped. While the cast featured standout performances from actors like Ryeoun, Lee Jun-young, and Bae Na-ra, the overall plot felt underwhelming and lacked the intensity that made the first season so gripping.

In the first season, we witnessed Yeon Si-eun form an unlikely but powerful bond with two classmates, Ahn Su-ho and Oh Beom-seok. What started as a reluctant alliance turned into a deeply moving friendship that gave the story its emotional core. The chemistry between the three leads was so natural and intense that their journey together was unforgettable. Their performances didn’t just bring the characters to life — they made the audience feel every punch, every betrayal, and every moment of quiet loyalty. It’s that trio’s dynamic that truly made Season 1 stand out and left a lasting impression on viewers. The brutal ending, with Ahn Su-ho falling into a coma, was so memorable that I couldn't wait for Season 2.

After the brutal events of his previous school in season 1, Yeon Si-eun transfers to Eunjang High, hoping to start over. But peace is short-lived as he finds himself entangled in a new wave of violence, led by a powerful and organized group of student delinquents called The Union. With new alliances forming and fresh threats emerging, Si-eun must once again rely on his sharp mind and fierce will to navigate a world where strength often speaks louder than reason. Season 2 dives deeper into the emotional cost of survival, loyalty, and the consequences of choosing to fight back.

I found the plot in Season 2 honestly odd and unrealistic. The idea that Park Humin could singlehandedly take on groups of bullies so effortlessly just didn’t feel believable. His strength bordered on cartoonish, and it pulled me out of the story. The friendships this season felt shallow and lacked the emotional depth that made Season 1 so impactful. And then there’s The Union—a gang of bullies from different schools? It felt like a stretch and made the stakes feel more theatrical than grounded.

Na Baek-jin had potential as a character, but he ended up underdeveloped. There were hints that his cold, stoic demeanor came from a difficult past, but the show never explored it in a meaningful way. Last season thrived on its portrayal of genuine friendships. This season leaned too far into dramatics, and in doing so, lost the heart that made Weak Hero so unforgettable. For me, it was a complete letdown.

Let me know your thoughts on Class 2.
