I picked up Weak Hero after watching the Netflix adaptation, and honestly, it turned out to be a great decision. What surprised me was the contrast in pacing and impact between the two mediums—while the first season of the Netflix show felt stronger than the second, in the webtoon it was quite the opposite. The series really hits its stride as it progresses, building emotional weight and tension in a way that’s hard to put down.
What stood out most for me was the depth of character development. Even side characters—those who might seem minor at first—were given satisfying arcs and real closure. No one felt like filler. The webtoon does an excellent job of humanizing even its antagonists, giving you a glimpse into what drives them, and sometimes even making you sympathize with them. It’s not just a story about high school violence; it’s about broken people, loyalty, trauma, and personal growth.
This was a thoroughly engaging and rewarding read. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more work from the writer, because if Weak Hero is anything to go by, they have a real talent for storytelling.
