The Story Behind Weak Hero Class 2
Weak Hero Class 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Weak Hero Class 1, a gripping K-drama based on the popular webtoon Weak Hero. The first season explored the brutal realities of school violence and followed the protagonist, Yeon Si-eun (played by Park Ji-hoon), a top student who fights against bullies using his intelligence rather than brute strength.
How Did Weak Hero Class 1 End?
Season 1 ended on a tragic note, with Si-eun suffering deep emotional scars after losing his close friend, Ahn Su-ho.
