After making waves in a gritty, adult-rated school action drama on Korean streaming platform Wavve, the second season of 2022 sensation Weak Hero has found new life and greater exposure under the wing of streaming giant Netflix.
Weak Hero Class 2 wasted no time igniting buzz with its April 25 release – not just in Korea, but across Asia and Latin America – signalling a dramatic leap from domestic hit to international phenomenon.
The series soared to No 1 in Netflix’s non-English-language content category in 32 countries.
Based on the hit webtoon of the same name, Weak Hero follows the story of Yeon Si-eun, a model student born physically weak but fiercely intelligent, who mastered the art of fighting from a young age.
Singer and actor Park Ji-hoon, taking the title role, reunites with the original creative team and continues his fight to protect his friends in the second season.
