The Story
After bullying gets out of control at a high school, one model student decides to step forward and protect those who have been hurt. And despite his small appearance, his quick mind, courage, and coolness in the moment give him the ability to begin making a difference. But bullies seldom give up easy or play fair, and the road to peace and freedom will be long and hard-fought.
'Weak Hero' is an intense story about friendship and the courage to face Bully culture.
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘Weak Hero’ is an exciting and intense action drama about high school bullying. The drama focuses on friendship and the healing of past traumas. The young cast is talented and the raw emotions of the characters are well developed. The fight scenes are exciting and well incorporated into the over-all plot.
I definitely enjoyed the first season more than the second. And it was a bit disappointing that the second season brings in a whole new cast, with the exception of the lead character. I think, partly because of this, the drama loses some of its charm and depth in the second season. The fight scenes are both brutal and sensationalized, so you should be prepared for plenty of violence. But I enjoyed the story development and the bittersweet relationships. I give ‘Weak Hero’ an 8 out of 10.
