#WeakHeroClass2 Mini Review Part 2

 Not for the Weak (Weak Hero Class 2 mini review)

PART 2

From PART 1>>> https://web.facebook.com/share/p/18UZzbtxuM/

What I like about the drama:

1. Bigger and badder foes versus stronger and mature friends. Si Eun lost his friends and is trying to overcome the trauma, unresolved guilt, and pain. He has no intention of getting close to anyone again after that.  “I’m more comfortable alone.” But the three guys are not giving up, continuing to break through his defenses (it was during their volunteer activity that Si Eun’s first smile appeared (while trying not to show that he is smiling), upon realizing how Hu Min got the wrong numbers of the girls from Buli High. He was about to leave Korea and study in Singapore, but hearing Jun Tae telling him that what happened to his old friends was not his fault made him stay. They were not blaming or judging him.

2. Choosing your own path – choosing good or evil. I wish I knew more about Hu Min and Baek Jin’s friendship. The friendship we failed to protect. I can still see love for each other in their eyes, there is pain all over. But it seems the gap is too wide now for them to reconcile and accept everything. Too bad, their story was underdeveloped. And I guess we didn’t get much for the rest of the guys, either. 

3. The comparison between Beom Seok (played by Hong Kyung) and Jun Tae – old friend and new friend. Beom Seok in Class 1 was devoured by the system, his need for acceptance and belonging led him to darkness. Jun Tae, on the other hand, is love and light personified. While we did not see his family or background, he seems to live comfortably. He is refined, dresses nicely, has knowledge of supplements, and is able to spend money on food and drinks for the bullies. As mentioned, he lacks fighting skills, is timid and gentle, but in the end, he showed his strength in terms of loyalty and EQ.

4. Newton’s Third law of Motion “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” – standing up against school bullying and violence despite the consequences; struggling to do what is right in a world where no adults seem to be around, where nobody seems to care; breaking free from such violent patterns and writing your own story. Choosing peace over violence - Both Hu Min and Si Eun gave up fighting, but in the end, they decided, once and for all, to face The Union with a purpose. To protect Eunjang High’s peace, and their own peace as well.

5. Sun Ho’s appearance, no matter how brief, will always leave a mark. “You been alright? Who are those guys behind you?” “My friends.” “That’s awesome.” And Si Eun’s second smile capped the season. 

6. The OST during opening credits - Hero (Prod. by Primary) - song and lyrics by Meego – continues to haunt me up to now.

7. Chemistry. The rapport is apparent, there is real bromance. Some of them have worked with each other in previous dramas and we can see the closeness among the cast during interviews and guesting stints, and in their Instagram stories/posts.

Season 3? Maybe. Especially as we see the CEO recruiting Seong Je to replace Baek Jin. But I have faith in our good squad. They will pull through. They’re stronger and smarter. 

#WeakHeroClass1 and #WeakHeroClass2 are streaming on Netflix.
