Publisher's Review

To celebrate the release of the Netflix original series “Weak Hero Class 2,” the script collection for “Weak Hero Class 1” has been officially published, allowing viewers to delve deeper into the emotions and nuances of Season 1. Based on the popular Naver webtoon by Seopath & Kim Jin-seok, Weak Hero Class 1 is a strong action growth drama about a weak boy, Yeon Si-eun, who faces numerous acts of violence alongside his first friends, Su-ho and Beom-seok. The series received critical acclaim, being selected as the Best Content of 2022 by 64 video content industry experts, Cine21's 2022 BEST 10 Series of the Year, Hankyoreh's 2022 OTT Series of the Year, and Forbes & Teen Vogue's 2022 Best K-Drama. It also won first place in the 2022 Wave Awards' "Hot Topic of the Year," showcasing its global popularity.

Rookie director Yoo Soo-min dedicated significant time to crafting visually stunning action scenes and developing complex character relationships, transforming Weak Hero into a relatable growth drama rather than a simple school action film. Additionally, director Han Jun-hee, known for the successful Netflix series “DP,” contributed as a creative director, enhancing the work's overall perfection.

The Weak Hero Class 1 Script Book Set features the director and creator's foreword, original scripts with deleted scenes, high-quality stills with unreleased footage, and behind-the-scenes insights from actor Hong Kyung's perspective. It includes detailed storyboards, concept art with the art director's comments, handwritten messages from the cast, rolling papers, in-depth interviews, and a memorial message for the late actor Na Cheol, enriching the world of Weak Hero with intimate stories not covered in existing media.
