Kim Soo Hyun might be done out here, he's 1 of the most highest paid kdrama actors & he's been hit with allegations of grooming Kim Sae Ron (She commit suicide in February, she was in Bloodhounds & played the little girl in The Man From Nowhere).

His shows have already been postponed (1 was supposed premiere on Disney this month) & endorsements/sponsors have dropped him including Prada.


Unsure if you've been following the case but he's doing everything to deflect and there's a slim chance he gets away with it. He lost some major brand deals and international fans are done with him. China is going hard on him and they found a lot of evidence that he was with her when she was 15. He's pretty much done in China NA/Eur but there's still some fans in Korea, South Korea, and surprisingly Nigeria defending him.

If he survives I don't think his content will be on Netflix or Disney+. I hope he's done because there's way too much shyt he did to that girl

That’s the only place I could watch it without the subs being fukked up. Had to binge it before the free trial ended.

Weak Hero 2 is following the same beats as 1 lol

the first 2 episodes are so similar to the first 2 of season 1
Keep watching, it's a different story than 1. It somewhat feels the same with the first 2 episode



I finished Weak Hero 2 and I thought it was a good season and it did seem like it had a much better budget due to Netflix. The fighting in this show is as brutal as it was with the first season. I think there was better chemistry with the main cast in S1 compared to 2. I thought they needed a bit more episodes to explain certain things with the plot, but I enjoyed it. I did read that people that read the Manhwa said they missed a good bulk of the story, and made me realize damn they possibly could've made this a 2 part season.

Overall: 8/10 for me and nice a binge. I think what hurt this season is character chemistry, plot points moved a bit fast and they could've done a better job of developing certain parts of the antagonist group. However, I still enjoyed it. I was wrong about this possibly dethroning study group, and that show is still the best kdrama of 2025 for me

For the final episode make sure to watch it all the way through due to their being a post credit

Anyone here checked out Perfect Family? It came out August last year, and I ain’t seen anyone talking about it. Only came across it coz Choi Ye-bin is in it.

I finished watching Weak Hero Class 2. I thought it was good, but I definitely liked season 1 better.

At the end of season 1, Eunjang was depicted as basically a delinquent high school. I was excited to see how Si-eun would survive in a seemingly lawless environment. Instead, they changed that, and Eunjang is basically just a normal South Korean high school lol.


Also, the post/mid-credits scene of season 1 showed who I retroactively assume was Na Baek-jin with tattoos on his arm/hand. However, in season 2, the tattoos were nowhere to be found. What happened? :gucci:


The setup for a potential season 3 does have me intrigued, though. Hopefully, they don't change sh!t up too much like they did with season 2.

I think in the Manhwa his character has tattoos but I guess they decided to change it.

I was confused too because I recently binged it and was like wasn't this supposed to be the wild west. I guess they wanted to change the vibe of it but it felt odd after recently watching S1 to see this school doesn't seem any worse than his old school. It actually seems the new high school is actually better than the one in the first season.

Hopefully they're almost done with S3 because the thing about kdramas things can take longer to release due to mandatory military service. I don't think the actor that plays Si-Eun has done his mandatory military service. So, that could make things messy for a S3
