'Weak Hero Class 2' is making waves on Netflix charts around the globe.
Fans gathered on online forums to celebrate the success of the originally Wavve-exclusive Korean drama starring Park Ji Hoon. The series had built strong anticipation even before its release.
The story continues with model student Yeon Si Eun (played by Park Ji Hoon), who transfers to Eunjang High burdened by the trauma of a friend's loss. Despite its modest beginnings with rookie actors and a first-time director, 'Weak Hero Class 1' became a surprise hit in Korea, thanks to its gripping narrative and sharp direction.
After debuting on Netflix on April 25, 'Weak Hero Class 2' quickly rose to #1 in Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam.
