The drama begins with Yeon Si-eun, played by Park Ji-hoon, witnessing students being bullied at his new school. He experiences flashbacks of the time when Ahn Su-ho, portrayed by Choi Hyun-wook, got into a fight and fell into a vegetative state in the first season. This left Yeon Si-eun devastated, leading him to undergo medical therapy.

Although Yeon Si-eun was on medications, he struggled to sleep. Every day he saw students resorting to violence to establish power. He often thought about his friend Ahn Su-ho. The ending of Weak Hero Class 1 concluded on a heartbreaking note, and the second season began by revisiting those emotions, pulling viewers into a whirlpool of feelings.
