Park Ji-hoon fights back in Weak Hero Class 2
by lovepark
A new school with new faces, yet the problems remain the same for Park Ji-hoon (Love Song for Illusion) as our bullied protagonist Yeon Shi-eun in Netflix’s Weak Hero Class 2. After a traumatizing first season, Shi-eun must navigate another world of bullies, but fortunately, not everyone is a foe.
The newest trailer opens with Shi-eun walking past a throng of students as someone informs him that all the nearby school gangs have unionized. They operate like a crime syndicate, controlling turf and using violence to suppress, but our young hero is done cowering. He confronts the leader Na Baek-jin – played by Bae Nara (Evilive) – and threatens to kill them all if he sees him again.
Life at this new school, however, is not completely terrible since Ryeoun (The History of Losers) offers a semblance of peace as protector Park Hoo-Min. Nicknamed Baku, Hoo-min’s strength keeps the others in line, and he assures Shi-eun not to worry about the union.
Alas, Baek-jin has other plans in mind and will not be backing down so easily. Despite Hoo-min’s refusal to join the union, Baek-jin still considers him a friend and keeps the door open if he changes his mind. It seems unlikely, though, for Hoo-min to switch sides since he sticks with Shi-eun in their upcoming fight to end all fights.
As our young hero faces against new bullies Yoo Soo-bin (The Perfect Deal) and Lee Jun-young (When Life Gives You Tangerines), he also has allies in the form of Choi Min-young (XO, Kitty, Twenty Five Twenty One) and Lee Min-jae (Kick Kick Kick Kick). A brawl breaks out between the two sides, and the trailer ends with Shi-eun running in the rain looking determined.
Directed by PD Yoo Soo-min (Weak Hero Class 1) who also co-wrote the script with Park Hyun-woo, Netflix’s Weak Hero Class 2 is slated for eight episodes and premieres April 25.

I may be reading too much into things but I like when I see nods or allusions to the webtoon such as Hu Min in red since his comic counterpart is a redhead (if memory serves). Si Eun's in gray and the webtoon character is named Gray (he also has the nickname of white mamba (in the webtoon, the character has white hair) so we'll see if that's alluded to in the drama).

Something very Korean about the fact that it's the *bullies* who unionize.
