Netflix's latest hit Korean series, Weak Hero, is familiar to hardcore K-drama fans. Better known as Weak Hero Class 1, the high school-set thriller K-drama first premiered in November 2022 on Viki. The eight-episode drama became a quick word-of-mouth hit, but it never rose to the level of mainstream fame reached by shows like All of Us Are Dead or The Glory. Call it the Netflix effect: As soon as Weak Hero Class 1 arrived on Netflix on March 25, 2025, it went from being an acclaimed, underrated K-drama to one of the streamer's Top 10 shows in its week of release.
For anyone new to the series, Weak Hero Class 1—adapted from the ongoing webtoon Weak Hero—follows the unlikely friendship between top student Si-eun (Park Ji-hoon), skilled fighter Su-ho (Choi Hyun-wook), and troubled rich kid Beom-seok (Hong Kyung) as they battle systemic bullying at their high school. The violent and heart-wrenching drama ends its first season on a cliffhanger; thankfully, Netflix is set to continue Si-eun's story in just a couple of months. Below, read on for everything we know about Weak Hero Class 2 so far.
