.Weak. .Hero. 2x5

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT 😭

Comments

In the Webtoon "Snake" is actually "Wolf" and they Se-oen (sp. Sorry) his name is Gray and got nicknamed the "White Mamba", which is a snake. Fun Facts. I personally love season 2 more than season 1. From reading the Webtoon, I love Snake's/ Wolf's character because of the toon.

Erica Lane

Congrats on graduating!

Aparna

You love when people suffer 😃

Vlad Lena

It is pretty cool. I love the friendly community. I've gotten to know a lot of great people on here. Thanks again, geks haha

Betsy

Didn’t realize how epic this comment section has been haha

McKay Carter

i'm so happy carter's enjoying this season so much, he always surprises me with his insight and opinions when it comes to these shows and movies.

saida

And yes, this simple but powerful message “It isn’t your fault” had a huge impact on all us!

Vlad Lena

“We’ve melted our dear ice princess” moment at 16:47 was so adorable! 19:58 — “I hate people who don’t wear socks” from McKay sent me 35:00 — “Gotak is goated” — yes, he is! He’s my favorite among the new characters this season! 36:05 — “If David has a cameo in season 3, I’m done…” 👀👀 I love how much you all hate Sieun’s mom — especially “Get the freak away from him” (or something like that) from McKay at 40:58 in the airport scene killed me hahah 😂

Vlad Lena

In this case I have to disagree. The way they went about it with Baku’s father and Sieun’s mother is quite realistic and relatable, my parents are similar to both of them in different ways. Baku’s father is rough and Sieun’s mother is self centered, this has been shown through their scenes and dialogue. That isn’t weak writing, those are flaws intentionally written for those characters. It’s kind of just writing 101 actually. Who would want to watch a show with perfect communication and no conflict? Especially one like this that’s so character focused.

YSoulMine

I enjoy the show, mostly because of your reactions. Having said that, bad communication skills from all characters is a sign of weak writing. It's the author manipulating badly how he wants things to go only for the exact moments which something needs to happen suddenly communication exists.

Nashi

I was there. It was horrible. It was stressing me out. Lol Yeah this is better. 😂😭🥲

Betsy

idk how many of y'all here experienced the all of us are dead drops, but im here to tell you it can be worse. one time we waited like two weeks for an episode cuz there was no schedule😭😭. at some point i stopped being excited for the drops and just wanted them to finish the show already😭. so yeah, this is nothing...🫠

mina

Me staring at the screen like 👁️👄👁️ and refreshing every 5 seconds like it's gonna magically appear. WHERE IS IT?!? 😤🥲😭🤣😆

Claire

Ya'll are cracking me up with the comments. 😂 But seriously I feel like it's going to be a late drop sadly... Please tell me I'm wrong. 😭

Betsy

So like I died and reincarnated and I'm currently on my 2nd life and still no update 😭

patricia jimjimcherie

woke up, got ready, left the house, literally graduated, got lunch, came home.. still no new drop 🥲

Tivy

Because McKay mentioned it a lot in the last episode, In Kdramas/Manhwas like Weak Hero, Lookism etc. there are basically no civilians, teachers, parents and policemen. Otherwise, the whole concept of such series wouldn't make sense.

Yugi

I wonder why the wait is so long today

Liz

the wait is killing me haha

No it's related to the watch parties they have on discord. They're asking if they should continue doing them live or pre-record so everyone can watch when they have the time

ptsd from David

JAN NARUTO

Thanks! There's something about Jun-Tae that irks me. I don't know what it is. He's a good guy at least.

jrnoodles

Yes to all of the above! I like S2 just a little better for the same reasons- the characters and dynamics. I did many activities as a kid like ballet, contemporary and modern dance, gymnastics, piano… but TKD for only 3 days and quit 😂

Ashley K

I’m going to feel empty once we’re done with this show 🥲

Ashley K

As much I loved season 1, I might like season 2 a little more because of the new dynamics with the main characters/interesting villains such as Baekjin and Seong-je and also Hyoman for a fun quirky character. He's not as much of a villian like them. He doesn't exude that demon aura... I guess he's more of a lighthearted character. I even like Baek Dong-Ha and and Seong- Mok even though they're kind of underrated. Everyone adds something different to the story. Also, it's beautiful seeing Si-eun's personal growth of opening up his heart and finding true friendship once again with Baku, Gotak, and Juntae. He's learning to trust and confide in them slowly. And when he finally accepted them as his friends, I felt so much happiness for him. He's been through so much over the years. They understand each other. It's also heartwarming that he could connect and relate to Baku's pain, fear, and uneasiness with fighting because of it causing the people in his life to get hurt. Therefore, he felt that continual guilt and regret just like Sieun. And also, I adore Gotak and Juntae's closeness especially when Gotak was teaching him how to fight. It's another one of my favorite scenes. I find it very sweet. You can tell how much he cares about him and sees him like a brother figure one that he wants to protect and cherish. I've said this before but Gotak's high kicks are very impressive and satisfying to watch. It's amazing how the actor is skilled in Taekwondo in real-life. However, I know that's not that uncommon in Korea. Still, it doesn't make it any less impressive. After all, martial art skills is an essential and beneficial thing to have in everyday life. Haha

Betsy

Who needs a therapist when you have Jun Tae

BipolarKitten

Carter: I think that by the end of the show, I will like it more than Season 1. Me: Yeah, I think so too. 😄

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

Carter's Si-eun-ah at 39:24 sounded so natural 😂

T

when Sieun cried my heart 💔

JAN NARUTO

Baku and Sieun are killing it KILLING IT with their dialogues. The episode comes full circle, it begins with Bakus confession of guilt and ends with Sieun finally letting go of his own. When Baku opens up about his guilt over Gotaks injury, he mirrors exactly what Sieun has been feeling. For Sieun it’s the first time since Suho that someone truly understands him and shares in his pain. While Sieun helps Baku realize that the cycle of violence has to end and that he doesn’t need to take responsibility for everyone in the school. That moment might have finally brought Baku some relief, even if only for a while🥺 Sieun has such genuine friends, each supporting and healing him in their own way. Baku shows loyalty, opens up emotionally and promises not to cause more trouble. Gotak apologizes and thanks him for everything. Juntae absolutely cooked with his “It’s not your fault” line. Sometimes there are words you only believe when they come from certain people. This says a lott about how deeply Sieun trusts and values his friends

JAN NARUTO

When Jo Jungsuk (the boss) showed up in this episode I literally screamed 😂. He is one of my fave Korean actors and he was amazing even in that short scene. Next to him G-Eazy looked like a quiet, well-behaved schoolboy im sry😂

JAN NARUTO

still s2 slight better than s1 for me.

bebe

Funny if u know Baku and Suho are actually best friends in real life and also they have a series together called Twinkling Watermelon 🥹

suzuki

Love love love

Brx45

When Sieun said "MY FRIENDS SAID IT WASNT HIS FAULT" was so emotional. The fact that Juntae Baku Gotak knew about Suho and everything but never judged Sieun or blamed him or left him, in fact they keep it secret because they didnt want to make sieun uncomfortable. Its really sweet that they understand Sieun. Really their friendship is really sweet in this season, the way they all care about each other.

sweeta

The Actor playing role of GOTAK (Lee Min jae) has a real Taekwondo background and is known for incorporating his skills into his acting roles in Kdrama. You will see some really cool moves done by him.

sweeta

Yes!!!! They would LOVE Bloodhounds 🥹

raeven b.

2:52 Ohhh the acknowledgement...we feel seen! 🙈 You’re literally the only WHC reactors I support on Patreon. Found you on YouTube during one of my ‘Si-eun is my Roman Empire’ spirals and never looked back. Your commentary is chef’s kiss, your reactions are therapy, and honestly? Y’all are canon now.

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

Very true here! You can hear the hurt in his voice when he says "you don't even ask me if i'm ok?" Even a wolf need some love 😝

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

In every episode, I see them getting excited over certain scenes I keep thinking to myself, they’re going to love Bloodhounds 😭 God, I need them to watch it.It’s only 8 episodes, and season two is coming out soon.

Ghada

That scene of Baekjin and Seongje together really shows how Seongje does not care about the Union itself. He sees Baekjin as his only friend, but unfortunately Baekjin only cares about Baku... 👀 I have something to say about Seongje's character but I'll have wait until ep 7 for my point to make sense lmao

Aj Koy

The mom is pissing me off. She's only thinking about herself I'm not even sorry. What do you mean "understand me" when you can't even understand your own son?? And now she's crying and guilt tripping which isn't helping Sieun's situation at all because he will keep blaming himself for everything. GREAT MOM!

Aj Koy

Understandable because I did the same when I finished season 1

Aj Koy

I don't know how i missed this drop, and right now is too late to watch it 😔 Will watch it with breakfast tomorrow!!

Ale

31:55 now u guys understand the difference in levels

Zipzzty

I AGREE this is the most fun community I've ever been part of because of how fun gek guys react and also the people interacting with one another. I ended up leaving other communities but I'm liking my stay here... So far 😅

Aj Koy

that phone call gets me everytime bro

Saggy

It's so funny and adorable how Cannon and McKay are invested in Choi Hyun-Wook's (Suho) and Park Jihoon's (Si-eun) Instagram accounts. It's so wholesome and it shows how much they all love the show and are genuine fans. It's refreshing and amazing to see.

Betsy

you guys should watch the behind the scenes and cast interviews when you finish this season 😌

kc

Speaking of vulnerability, do you know why it’s easier to be vulnerable to strangers? That’s cos with strangers, you have zero pressure, zero history. You can spill your guts, and they can listen, nod, dissappear and your story stay yours. But with friends , vulnerabiity can be scary because it’s real, risky and high stakes. For there’s history-shared memories, unspoken expectations. What if they start seeing you differently? What if the balance shifts? BUT, when you do get to be vulnerable with your closest friends, that is pure magic. When you drop your walls, show your cracks, and they don’t run or judge, but instead they build a shelter around your broken pieces? That’s the kind of friendship you should cherish. And not everyone are lucky enough to have that. In my almost 3 decades of living, I can count mine with one hand. But I think that's good enuff for me. 😝

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

been here since aot days but mostly silent viewer, just wanna say how much fun ive had rewatching this show with you guys. thank you for consistently putting out some of the best reaction/commentary content, much love 💚

rachel

I guess they need to realise webtoons and TV dramas are two mediums with different rules and limitations. Webtoons are built for scrolling. Drama is built for pacing, visual impact, and emotional arcs within limited time slots. There's also the time and budget constraints. Not everything in a webtoon is realistic or affordable to shoot. Target audience might change since they usually want a broader appeal. Don't forget abt censorship and cultural sensitivies, which lead to dramas having to dial down or reframe some issues. To me, drama adaptations should be a remix, not a carbon copy.

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

😂😂😂

Carter D. Andrus

@39:25 Carter's Korean pronunciation was actually so good here lmao

Hannah S

Juntae - our quiet hero!

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

I loved season 2, I definitely like s1 better, but season 2 was solid in its own right. I loved a lot of the characters, imo you gotta watch s2 as its own entity. I feel like the most people who hate on s2 are the people who have read the webtoon so they cant help but compare it to the source material, which I totally understand. But when you watch s2 as an independent thing away from the original webtoon, its pretty damn good.

Aparna

Yes, one piece week really took a toll but erased and violet evergarden will get finished

Carter D. Andrus

We need to build a new whole universe for them, without everything that you said above, plus an unlimited supply of fried chicken! 🍗

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

Wow thank you for such a nice comment!!! This community is the best thing ever and we love sharing these experiences together!

Carter D. Andrus

Welcome to the community!! We just take recommendations as we go and sometimes hold polls

Carter D. Andrus

I know it’s not Baku’s fault, but I seriously can’t take seeing Si-eun suffer anymore 😔

vicc

This episode reminds us that survival isn't always about strength, it's about connection. When you’re too hurt to reach out, the right person noticing you before you fall, can mean everything. 😔

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

Ngl the whole Baekjin x Baku thing feels like the same cycle again, and Si-eun always ends up caught in the middle 😩

vicc

Not sure how recommendations are taken as I'm a new member but I hope you all will consider reacting to the kdrama "Moving". I think you all would enjoy it since it has a mixture of thrilling, heartfelt, wholesome and action packed moments.

S M

Oh yeah I cut my hair super short when I was in middle school and I was a tomboy so I immediately got labeled a lesbian. But then come high school some girls cut their hair short and it's fashion.

Vanesa

i watched twinkling watermelon bc everyone suggested it but it was way better than i expected, cheesy but in a great way haha!!! honestly, not 100% sure if the geks would like it or not, but can't assume since they've never tried the genre!!

becca

To add, I feel like this is to be in control more, Baekjin needed someone formidable to do most of the dirty work since he cannot control Seongje and dude went on "vacation".

Brooke C

I think you guys will like Twinkling Watermelon. Both Choi Hyun-wook (Suho) and Ryeoun (Baku) are two of the main characters.

Mon

When i first saw this, i noticed that when baku is not his boisterous, optimistic and joyful self, you can feel it hard. It’s like a heaviness in the air. And him shutting out sieun out of all people to keep him, gotak and juntae safe is what hit the hardest. It felt like he was saying his last goodbyes.

Mikkeai8908

Honestly, when being a nerd wasn't cool, that was so not fun. I remember pretending that I wasn't interested in certain things just to "look cool" and it was such a icky feeling. Totally relate that it takes time and experience, and just meeting good people who aren't super judgmental. I'm so sorry you had to move schools, but I hope you have good friends and a positive community surrounding you Anya! Reading all your comments, you seem like such a good person so that's horrible that happened to you. Also Star Wars??? Dang, those kids didn't have taste wth.

becca

I feel like it’s them claiming it out of their biases towards suho and how he’s not really being part of the main focus of the season. Because many that claim season two is bad most generally follow up their reasoning for that opinion with something about suho not really being there. People let their own personal preferences cloud the judgement of how good or bad this season is. I personally would say that the seasons are not really comparable because the circumstances that happens throughout each season is not really the same. In season one we see how sieun being a loner who just wants to study and left alone navigates from being just a bullied student trying to get his bullies to stop to sieun being someone who was starting to explore possibility of growing friendships with others. Season two is sieun being someone who is trying to cope with the trauma of what happened to him and his friends to trying to find a way to overcome those traumas from season one. I think people aren’t trying to understand season one and season two separately as a whole. I think season is one excellent because it is fresh and new, especially because it was a prequel to events that actually happened in the webtoon in season two. And i think season two is just as excellent because it still keeps the consistency with the main character while building connections with new characters with the audience without leaving plot holes.

Mikkeai8908

honestly, everyone likes to feel like they matter or that their hard work is worth something. Internal validation only does so much, everyone needs community. Nobody can live life without positivity or appreciation in their lives, and I agree - even if it's just a genuine smile, it can go a long way in making people feel better, no matter who they are. I think this is such a great comment pudding!!!

becca

i think you're on the money pudding

becca

also i agree carter, this show's lighting is great - im tired of looking at a screen and not knowing what im looking at lmaooo

becca

damn, i rlly relate to kate, especially in high school. Kids were really brutal and quick to judge each other. I still remember someone looking at me and asking in a very judgmental tone of voice, "you listen to kpop?" and when i asked why, they just made a face and told me that I didn't seem like I would. It was a really small interaction, and i was really sensitive to others back then but that made me hide my kpop playlist and I never told anyone besides my two childhood friends I watched anime until I reached college and found people who not only enjoyed the same stuff as me, but also did it openly. It's harder when you're younger, so I hope Kate does things at her own pace and in a way she's comfortable, but i really feel like meeting more people made me realize that even if you like something that's "nerdy", it's 100% better to not hide it bc not only do you feel more free, but tons of people are nicer than we assume and you never know what someone's into. Hell, even now, I'm the "nerdy" one of my friend group, and they make jokes but they always listen to me when I'm geeking out lol. I've met people at work that watch anime and it's so fun meeting people who have the same interest, when you never would've thought. But I hope Kate grows more confident in what she loves!

becca

Jun tae my baby!😭😭

Tacara Wright

what a clutch phone call, jun tae i love him

becca

I watched you guys react to aot on youtube, and joined your Patreon for haikyuu and have been a subscriber ever since. I have watched got, hotd, arcane, even pirates of the caribbean, and lots of other shows/movies and I just wanted to say that your Patreon community is the most engaging and fun people I have encountered so far, and it is 100% bc of you guys! People can tell that your reactions are genuine and real by the way you guys predict things and the theories you come up with, it shows that you are actually paying attention bc you are actually interested. I try to avoid monthly subscriptions like the plague (hbo, Netflix etc.) but I have been a member now for exactly a year bc I just can’t miss out on your discussions or your reactions to every single scene you watch! (Sorry, I don’t know how to word it in a less creepy way). Weak hero is my current favorite watch of yours! :))

Elle

personally i LOVED season 1 when it first came out i thought it was incredible so i wasnt sure what to expect of season 2 especially 3 years after season 1 came out but i actually like it more than season 1. i think they did a great job developing si-eun's character and they changed kind of a lot from the webtoon but they actually did it really well like the whole overarching story has a lot of big differences but it still has the same feeling as the webtoon while also being soo different its really impressive honestly

Melissa June

NOW WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT EVEN SADDER AS IF IT WAS NOT ALREADY DEPRESSING

Eva

sieun's mom pisses me off so much. keeps blaming him and guilt tripping him but never once asked him why he got bruises, why he's skipping school. pisses me off when people say "she's trying" NAH SHE ISN'T he's a child and you're the parent like be fr support your child

Eva

Exactly what I thought..lol.

Pudding

people have gone as far as call this season trash and i don't get it at all. like everything about it is so good. tho i ain't gonna lie when i first watched it i was mad because it's nothing like the webtoon BUT as a show on its own it couldn't be better. i love both seasons for different reasons but i would never say season 2 is bad. some shows completely ruin their s2 but it's not the case for this show at all.

Eva

sunglasses in a dimly lit room??? that's a decision lol

becca

baekjin looking scary to y'all is so funny because he's probably the most fun guy in the set 😭 same goes for y'all not being able to imagine sieun as a singer...that guy is so bubbly and outgoing. and i think both of these actors are absolutely phenomenal 🔥

Eva

The first thing I think about whenever I think of s1 is Su-ho passed out, almost dead on the ground...😔 and it makes my heart ache everytime. If he would've been dead, that would've been even an even more horrifying and tragic memory. Imagine Si-eun visiting his grave instead of the hospital...

Pudding

And she said "Why is it so hard to understand my feelings" ? Like..😭 she might be trying to care for her son, but she's so bad at it...

Pudding

Mm, interesting!! I think you're right.

Pudding

Feels like no one could have done it better

Pudding

Fr he's the best fighter.

Floo

Bit off topic, but are there any plans to finish out erased? I plan to go back up to juicy tier once they start getting posted again as I was really enjoying y'alls reactions to it.

Jack Frost

Love this & I echo this! It's honestly therapeutic. ❤️

Anya

True, he doesn't fit in there😭 it's not a place where he'll ever find fulfillment or even a shred of happiness, quite the contrary

Pudding

The soundtrack on the last scene, mind by Meego his voice is so relaxing

Floo

Baku...😭 it hurts me so bad to see him like this... He's just like Si-eun when he went in Suho's place during his birthday without telling him. He's sacrificing himself for their safety even if it ruins him. And Si-eun sees himself in Baku. There's way too much stress upon all these kids' shoulders... I wish they could all be reborn somewhere in a world without bullies, gangs, or problems, and just all have fun together... It would heal me so much to just see Su-ho, Si-eun, Baku, Gotak, and Jun-tae laughing, all carefree without a single worry. I swear Baku deserves to have a constant, genuine smile on his face and not one where he's hiding complicated feelings behind it.

Pudding

Baek-jin... just how far will he go? Until he destroys Baku from the inside completely? Until he's nothing but a shell of himself, feeling lost and chained in life, being a person that he doesn't want to be, doing things that are contradictory to his beliefs and values? It does feel like Baek-jin 'cares' to an extent about Baku, like he's important to him, but in such a twisted way... talk about toxic. But maybe Baek-jin just doesn't know how else to treat his friends, how to care for them normally. (Or maybe I'm wrong, and he's just a master manipulator that only wants to use Baku, but I don't think so..) I think that in a way, he wants the two of them to rule together.

Pudding

🫶🏼

Cannon Andrus

(Holy yap) I cried again during Jun-tae's phone call. 😭😭🩷 It can be so hard to open up and just say something simple like an encouragement, a compliment, or even a simple thank you towards your loved ones... For me, embarrassment and just the fact that I'm not used to saying stuff like that out loud, often holds me back from expressing appreciation towards my loved ones. But it makes such a difference, y'all... a few words can mean the world to someone. A compliment or a "I'm proud of you", "I like this about you" can be stuff that that person will hold in their heart forever. Sometimes people don't know you appreciate them, they underestimate how much they mean to you, simply because most people don't speak their mind on stuff like that. Even though I have loving parents, I sometimes found myself surprised and even in disbelief when I received a 'I'm proud of you' or a sweet compliment, because I had convinced myself so deeply of certain negative things about me. So, if you find the courage to (no pressure of course) do drop a random compliment, validating remark or something like that to people, haha, and I'm saying it to myself first. It doesn't have to be something complicated or deeply personal either. It can be just 'thank you for the food', 'that hairstyle suits you',...

Same

I cried... the way Baku is holding back tears when Si-eun calls him.. He hears his friends laugh and have fun in the background, and he wants to be there too, but he knows that him not joining the Union is what will eventually destroy all of them, and it's such a bitter feeling.. He's chained, and he's sacrificing himself for their sake, putting aside his values and emotions, for them to be safe... Like... he's destroying the whole essence of his very being, turning into a person he doesn't want to be, doing things that he doesn't agree with...

Pudding

Very interesting. I guess it also depends on your family dynamic. That's so sad to hear because in contrast my family is loud & encourage communication. Now I feel like I take it for granted.

Anya

Yes, well, because of you Geks, this community brings out my vulnerability and helps me open up freely to people even about simple things like my opinion on the shows you're reacting to, but also about deeper things. It's so nice to have refreshing people like you four who can talk about such things without feeling embarassed/without being judgy and trying to act tough. You're the ones creating a safe space in here🩷🩷

Pudding

Some cookies and a round of ball with the boys could cure them I'm so sure

Mia Malvik

He lost his color..😭 but he'll gain it back, I trust!! Si-eun, Gotak and Juntae will be there for him.

Pudding

Oh I can relate so much! And like you, I used to be worse too, but it got sooo much better for me with time, seriously, which I'm so happy and grateful for. For a loong time, I pretty much never left comments anywhere, on any social media/community, I was just the typical invisible follower. I didn't dare, cause people reacting or not reacting to what I said would stress me so much. I would keep checking the replies and interactions so much that I'd delete the comment just to free myself from the stress, lol. Actually, it was often like that for me when messaging a friend as well. If I saw they didn't read my message for multiple hours, I'd just delete it cause I felt embarrassed for some reason. But it's so much better now, I don't have that type of anxiety anymore, I can send a message and leave a comment and then go think about something else, not too bothered by who will say what. It'll get better for you too, trust!!🩷🩷 you're doing great. I still got things to work on tho, haha, it's not all good.

Pudding

15:30 Donald Na is on a different level than Suho 😂😂.

Zipzzty

Si-eun's tears & acknowledging them as "my friends" 🥹🥹 Such a BIG step for Si-eun! Let's not forget precious Jun-tae! His phonecall & message made a huge impact. "It wasn't your fault"- such a cathartic moment for Si-eun!😭😭

Anya

Yesss😭 he wanted to be there with them, but he couldn't...for their sake, for protecting them. He must have had the biggest heartache at that moment.

Pudding

I don't like Baku in The Union😔 It's a sad day when the happy-go-lucky ones go somber.

Anya

Exactly their dynamic for now😂😂

Pudding

All the villains need just some love

Floo

Even though sad things are still happening in this season, I feel like s2 is healing me, especially the end of this episode... While s1 destroyed me lol. I see a high potential for a good ending in this season, and I love good endings.

Pudding

same 😭

maria

Guilt is a key theme this episode. Si-eun's moms' overprotectiveness is indicative of her guilt for previously failing him. (Y'all reaction so funny when she appears lmao) Baku feels guilty for failing to protect Gotak & now past relationships are hurting new ones. Si-eun ofc still weighed down & haunted by what happened to Su-ho. I just love Si-eun & Baku's relationship dynamic. One so carefree, one so serious. They both can resonate with each other's feelings of guilt & responsibility.

Anya

PEAK COMMUNITY

Zipzzty

Aaww I feel the same Betsy! So unhealthy & anxious-filled yet we'd rather shoulder & internalize everything alone. It's great that you have friends & family to share with even if it's just a little. I still struggle sharing with family even though their literally my best supporters. Yes I agree Weak Hero is great at tackling down those issues.

Anya

Exactly! I yell at the screen all day when others do it but I'm just the same irl lmao Idk if it's a pride or fear thing that stops us from being vulnerable. Still figuring that out.

Anya

People that don’t like s2 can’t be trusted

Tami

I love that you guys are enjoying this season as much as you are. After finishing it I liked this one more, but since everyone disagreed I figured maybe I just had recency bias. Rewatching both seasons with you guys is making me realize how great Weak Hero is overall and that both seasons are phenomenal. People criticize this particular season way too much

Tivy

Real discussion at the end. Just be vulnerable? Easier said than done. I envy those who get it right the first time. Ty for sharing the story about Kate (sister?) I relate so much I almost cried. Instead of anime it was Star Wars for me. There was a time when being a "nerd" wasn't "cool." I actually had to move schools because it was so awful. Yes, lack of communication may have created a loss opportunity to make new friends who share the same love & interest as you do. Unfortunately for me & I bet others, it takes more time & experience to learn this lesson.

Anya

Our guy is letting his foot heal lol

Betsy

Not enough of our snack Seongje this episode :(

Mia Malvik

I still remember the constant side punches fighting style of Seong-je from last episode. Idk it was so good, it's been staying in my mind rent-free. And also Si-eun's moves from last episode too, with that slow-mo👌 such memorable fighting styles.

Pudding

after Suho I thought I won't like any character that much and I was a bit disappointed at the beginning when I found out that Suho is not in s2 but here we are I LOVE Baku.

kittygangxo

16:57 Si Eun: I like my Personal space. Baku: I like Sieun's Personal space.

sweeta

I promised to watch with the geks but I wanna watch ahead so baddd, Im literally tweaking

jemmy

Agreed Season 2 is really good. (Not saying other one is bad, Season 1 is cool too)

sweeta

OMG guys, I think I love season 2 . Idk how they're gonna get Baku back but obviously I know he comes back. He's such a happy-go-lucky character, seeing him almost in tears while his friends have fun in the background kinda made me tear up ngl

jemmy

I'm loving the Si-Eun love! One of my top 5 kdrama characters for sure, like he doesn't really emote but his character is just so complex and interesting to me. Also, love this friend group so much! I definitely prefer season 2 over season 1 because the friend group is just so wholesome like it's only 5 episodes in and they've fully accepted Si-eun (aka their ice princess lol) and always include him in everything they do! My boys 🥹

Mia

I haven’t been able to get Meego’s “Mind” out of my head since the moment it seeped in during that “It’s my fault” scene. Soft, subtle, soul-wrecking.

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

Loved the discussion at the end I really appreciated what you guys said aboiut being vulnerable. I personally struggle with opening up to people, even leaving comments on these videos made me overthink cause i was afraid of saying the wrong thing haha. But it's something i'm working on slowly everyday, it's not easy and i have to push myself constantly but the old me was worse so i'm looking ahead instead of behind me :) Also Jun-tae my son i love him so much 😭

Daniella

Oh also the intro you watched here is different from the ones in the previous episodes! They changed the intro halfway through the season

Tivy

My heart hurts for Baku during the phone call scene and him hearing his friends in the background hanging out. He also stopped wearing his red jacket 😢

Brooke C

You guys are right, this Patreon is honestly so goated. It’s my first time joining a community like this and it’s been awesome. Both you guys and everyone in the comments are so welcoming and always start great discussions. Glad I joined! It’s been lots of fun

Tivy

37:15 Yooo why is my eyes wet? BAKUUU 😭

jemmy

random but I love that yall picked up on the way they say each others names lol. "sieun-ah" !! the way so many people dont even really listen to the actors speaking drives me insane

Kerriane

You will like him more in next ep 🤭

sweeta

Loooved the discussion at the end. Seeing the lack of communication between people is really frustrating when you're watching from the sidelines, but when you're in the middle of it yourself it can be hard to recognise that you yourself are doing it. For me personally I'm good at talking about issues objectively and setting the record straight so everyone is on the same page and there's no confusion like in friend groups, family and workplace, but if we're talking about vulnerability and my personal feelings I'm the absolute worst. Just the thought of being emotional in front of people makes me 🤮 I can't even watch sad movies with people because I get so uncomfortable. (Yeah I know I've got issues 😂))

Mia Malvik

To be honest, I struggle with being vulnerable with certain things in my life. And instead, I tend to keep it bubbled up inside and let it fester. Because I feel like I'm weighing others down with my problems or thoughts. However when I do choose to say what's on my mind and heart, it does feel freeing. I'm much better at being vulnerable with close friends than I am with certain family members. But there's days where I feel as if I'm too open. While other days, I feel I'm not open nearly enough. It can be hard to express yourself the exact way you want to. I used to be extroverted but now I feel like I'm more of an introvert as I've gotten older. But I love the way Weak Hero deals with tackling emotions and how it values friendships during hard, stressful, and scary moments when you feel lost and confused.

Betsy

also the lack of "communication" thing, i suppose it's more evident in asian cultures - we're just not brought up that way I guess and we don't often tend to share our 'feelings' verbally

Hafsa

The moment Juntae tells Sieun that it isn't his fault still makes me tear up. So far, no one had told him it wasn't his fault. As a season 1 truther, I LOVE S2. S2 is so good. It's a lot lighter... until the next few eps. LMAO. 43:19 to explain, part of Korean culture is "don't be a problem for other people" so most people won't share their issues, they'll prefer to keep their problems to themselves as to not inconvenience others, which is why Korea has such a high suicidality rate, why there's so much bullying, so much depression, etc. People don't reach out because victims are often blamed because they can't deal with it on their own. It sucks.

patricia jimjimcherie

Yeah, I don't really like the mom either, but I don't hate her - it seems like she just tried to show up for him too late, and she doesn't know how to now...but she's trying at least, though I definitely understand why Si-eun resents it too. She just doesn't do a good job of listening or communicating with her son

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

David one is Philippine not Singapour

Floo

I agree, no matter how many phones you lose, it still doesn't equate to losing a life.

Brooke C

1:18 Jack, I think putting a fentanyl patch on someone is worse because someone could potentially be allergic, and the reaction could be fatal. Losing a phone is temporary, as you can always get a new one. But any situation where a death could be a potential consequence is an objectively worse crime

jemmy

22:52 just because it seems my comment got lost between all the others last episode. Na Baekjin is the guy with all the tattoos, in the manhwa he is tatted up all the way to his face. I assume that once WH got renewed for a 2nd season the producers thought that a high schooler with that many tattoos didn't make sense in the real world, so they retconned it. But Baekjin is the guy with all the tattoos at the end of s1.

patricia jimjimcherie

Gotak soo fine this ep 😮‍💨

Mia Malvik

I have read that Seopass (author) mentioned that the title "Weak Hero" refers to Stephen (Suho) and not Gray (Sieun) because the story begins and revolves around his influence on Sieun. I have finished the manhwa and I can see why they prefer the original story but the Netflix adaptation did a great job re-writing it to make it more realistic and less confusing, I guess. To answer Carter, Asian kids are not taught to be vocal about their problems as we are supposed to not burden the people around us. Obviously, we learn to be more open as we hang out with friends but it would be difficult as it is not normalized within the family you grew up with. Therapy is not even a thing because it would make the parents think they failed you. As for syndicates targeting high school and college students, it is a real thing (atleast in my country). Sometimes, it goes within those "fraternities" which is backed by government officials, and they will cover for crimes committed by the members.

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

Yess 100%!! Also you should definitely join the anime side 👀

Mia Malvik

my gosh, I love jihoon's acting as si-eun

Hafsa

The fact that they're already on their instagrams tells me they'd love the bts 😂🫶🏼

Mia Malvik

Okay I'm only on intro but had to pause because of how much y'all mean to me (totally not creepy lol).... YES YOU CAN DARE SAY YOU GUYS HAVE ONE OF THE GREATEST PATREONS! You guys, the patrons, & the interaction is number one for me! I always look forward to Tuesday/Thursday mornings because of y'all. I'm not even on the anime side but I bet with that addition y'all are killing it! So yes, BEST patreon, reaction, commentary, & community! Trust me I've been around the patreon scene for years now. Nothing makes me more excited than a notification from y'all! 🫶

Anya

A small sentence It wasn’t your fault can change a person’s life; the compass of life shifts in a completely different direction.👍

Merry

You can watch the BTS of this kdrama and feel like you are hanging out with them 😂😂😂. its kinda way deep down the rabbithole so be careful 😅😅

Brooke C

also someone correct me if im wrong (thanks floo), but i think while david was sent to *the philippines (where the assemblyman said he was gonna have him killed...still dk if that actually happened or not), si-eun was gonna be sent to the us

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

On the surface, it may look like “lack of communication..” Looking deeper, I think, it’s not that they can’t tell, it’s that they won’t becos they’re trying to carry the burden alone. “I’ll hurt myself before I risk hurting you.” This is probably what Sieun, Suho and Baku told themselves. We can call this emotional martyrdom. They chose not to share becos in their head, in those circumstances, not telling the other is protecting them. Noble but that’s what also makes it tragic. Cos as we see, that silence too is the thing that breaks them apart.

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

it wasn't ur fault 😭💥😭

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

You're actually kind of right about the whole "communication" thing. In south Korea, one of the highest causes of death is svicide, especially among teenagers. And one of the reasons is because mental heath is quite literally a joke. It's getting better now, but it's still very much a cultural thing to be very "to yourself".

Beth Edwards

It may be an unpopular opinion, or a hot take or whatever, but I kind of understand the mother in a way. She’s obviously not an exemplary mom, but she does show Si-eun that she was worried about him and feels guilty about what happened. Seems to me that both Si-eun and his mother are kind of selfish in their own way. The mom is scared of not being enough, and of possibly facing another violent situation. Si-eun knows that going back will likely mean more episodes of violence. The mom tries to be a good mother and give her son a better education. The son just wants peace and to be with his friends.

Chalène

Gosh I love Juntae so much. 🥰 He has such a warm and loving heart. He's also a very perceptive guy. I got emotional with this scene. In my opinion, "It's not your fault." Those were the small words Si-eun needed to hear in order for him to heal and finally help him get past his trauma. He's had scars in his heart for so long... Finally, they are being erased. I love the friendship of Si-eun, Baku, Gotak, and Juntae so much. It's just so freaking wholesome and endearing. And the music in this season fits so well too. Every song makes you feel a lot of different things. Can't wait for episode 6! It's really good. I'm sad we're almost done with this show. It's been such a beautiful and exciting journey.

Betsy

Some of us tend to carry the burden and try to handle a situation ourselves rather than being so transparent that it could potentially stress or worry the other person, or cause the situation to get bigger. But it’s also really up to someone’s personality if they choose to talk about everything or not. Not only Koreans are like this Carter lol 😆

Ashley K

I love their cute nicknames for each other!

Brooke C

I can't wait for ep6, double drop maybe?

Brooke C

A lot of people? I mean me personally i love Suho more but u can’t deny that Baku managed to captivate people with his fun personality! Especially in a show where everything is depressing/serious

Sho

Don’t know abt this ages. And Jack Carter and Brig are taken yes.

Chalène

They’re all so brave and kind

Cool Beans

Juntae, Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi! My goats 🐐

Sorry but what are the gek guys ages ? And all of them married already ?

Floo

Omg I forgot how much his mom pmo😭 like okay, she was gone half his life, didn't contact him, didn't ask for custody, didn't check up on him, knew that he had some issues since he was a kid but didn't go anywhere or ask anyone for help, after he almost killed a couple kids she starts acting like it's his dad's fault and now is so smothering that she barely leaves him alone, and she doesn't ask or care about his school life, yet she wonders why he doesn't really like her.... hm.. wonder why 😬

Beth Edwards

girl what??? who likes baku more than suho??? be so fr 😭💀

lola

Love si eun.

𝑭

Watching Baek-jin in particular fight always looks so satisfying - his choreography's so cool~

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

Just a tip for the names! Names like Seong-je, are more correctly pronounced as "song-jay". Try not to pronounce every individual vowel. When two vowels are together, like in "si-EUN" it's to write in in the accent of the language. Korean vowels are used together to create new vowels sounds that if written in English, isn't possible. So for the "eun" in sieun, it's almost like shii-uun, or si-uun. It's a little hard to explain without actually talking lol 😭 I tried my best

Beth Edwards

I love this season for very different reasons but both are so so so good!! I love that he called them "My friends". I love his contact picture for Juntae being the 4 of them! It's just so wholesome. I heard people say that they didn't think the second season showed why these 4 are so close but I very much disagree. I feel like it does a really good job with showing how they got close and started to care for one another. Also, it does a good job of showing Sieun trying to not let them in after the events of Suho and Bumseok from season 1 and also you can tell that while he cares for these 3 friends, Suho is still his number 1 person.

Lindsay Wood

40:45 "It's not your fault." Remember in WHC1, Sieun said those same words to BS/David at his home, to comfort him? Now it comes back to him when he need it the most. It's poetic justice! 😌

Alya Min 알야 민 💫

I cried a lot

Sho

Will you guys watch the behind the scenes for this show? It's really good and the actors all have great chemistry ❤️

Beth Edwards

All im gonna say, this show is pure sadness. But we already knew that 😊

Beth Edwards

I know we feel conflicted about David but also he did do more than try and pay! Cannon's right in saying that he intervened on fights sometimes, and also the fact that Suho only helped Si-eun the first time because David asked him and then offered to pay for him to intervene

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨
