Weak Hero Class 2 not only picks up right where the first season left off in terms of its story, but also with its unflinching and sobering approach to depicting that story.
Weak Hero Class 1 (약한영웅) is a thrilling, yet sobering portrait of young students and the different struggles, difficulties and momentary joys they experience while growing up in a society that, too often, neglects and pushes them aside. It is strongest though as a character piece, telling the story of friendship and bonds that must survive under the weight of all that is happening around them.
