The Korean Action Drama You Need To Watch On Netflix Now, Before Season 2 Drops Later This Year

Weak Hero Class 1 arrives on Netflix today (3/25) ahead of its Season 2 release scheduled for later this year. The Korean action drama, written and directed by Yoo Soo-min, originally made its debut back in 2022 at the 27th Busan International Film Festival, before launching to streaming audiences on Wavve.

Inspired by the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by Seopass and Kim Jin-seok, Weak Hero follows ambitious student Yeon Si-eun as he navigates bullying and school violence despite his shy nature and lack of physical strength.

When Si-eun realizes he cannot avoid violence or confrontation altogether, he draws on his own intelligence and strategic thinking, as well as the new alliances he forms with fellow classmates Ahn Su-ho and Oh Beom-seok to take on their shared adversaries.

When Beom-seok’s growing insecurity poses a risk to the group, tensions escalate to a shocking betrayal that pushes Si-eun beyond his limits. Watch their story unfold now to find out how this experience changes Si-eun forever, ahead of his transfer to Eunjang High School in Season 2.
