SEOUL, South Korea — Following a successful, widely-talked about first season, dark South Korean coming-of-age drama, Weak Hero Class 2, finally gets release date this April 25 on the streaming powerhouse, Netflix. An intense, no-holds-barred onscreen adaptation of a popular webtoon, Weak Hero has seen support from a growing fanbase globally, no small thanks to its beautiful direction and acting from a cast of emerging young television superstars.
