All you need to know about Park Ji-hoon's Weak Hero Class 2

Weak Hero Class 2 picks up where the first season left off. Yeon Si-eun transfers to Eungang High School. He still carries the guilt and trauma of being unable to protect Su-ho. He tries to maintain a low profile and keeps to himself at his new school, but fate has other plans.

He makes new friends and faces bullies who are stronger and dangerous than before. Despite his frail appearance, he steps in to protect his friends, ending up in another brutal fight.

The drama stars Park Ji-hoon in the lead, with Choi Min-yeong, Lee Jun-young, Yu Su-bin, Ryeo Un, Lee Min-jae, and Bae Na-ra in prominent roles. The teaser trailer gives a glimpse into the mental manipulation and the physical rebuttal that Si-eun will face.

Just like the first season, the sequel is also adapted from the webtoon Weak Hero (약한영웅), written by SeoPass and illustrated by Kim Jin Seok. Weak Hero Class 2 is directed by You Su-min and executive produced by Han Jun-hee.
