Spoilers for the Weak Hero Class 2 ending ahead. In 2022, the thriller K-drama Weak Hero Class 1 ended with a new beginning, as protagonist Yeon Si-eun (played by actor and K-pop soloist Park Ji-hoon) walked into the first day at his new school, Eunjang High. The first season of the now-Netflix series, based on the popular webtoon Weak Hero, serves as Si-eun's origin story, following the top student as he makes his first-ever friends, Ahn Su-ho (Choi Hyun-wook) and Oh Beom-seok (Hong Kyung), and those friendships fall to paranoia and violence. The season ended with Si-eun brutally attacking the bullies that put Su-ho into a coma; subsequently expelled, he has to face off against a new bully named Choi Hyo-man (Yu Su-bin) at Eunjang.
Arriving on Netflix three years after the original show (and a month after Class 1's debut on the streaming giant), Weak Hero Class 2 begins where the source webtoon does, following Si-eun as he gets entangled in an interschool gang war and, despite being hesitant, makes three new loyal friends, Seo Jun-tae (XO Kitty's Choi Min-yeong), Park Hu-min, a.k.a. Baku (Ryeo-un), and Go Hyeon-tak, a.k.a. Gotak (Lee Min-jae). The season leads to an epic showdown between the students of Eunjang and the Union, led by Na Baek-jin (Bae Na-ra). Even though the Union is backed by the toughest fighters in the area, underdogs Si-eun, Jun-tae, Baku, and Gotak just may be able to bring the organization down.
