What To Expect From ‘Weak Hero Class 3’, If There’s One?

The second season of Weak Hero wrapped up with a bang, literally and emotionally. The death of Baek-jin, the cold-blooded orchestrator behind the Union, might have ended one chapter of violent high-school politics, but the war is far from over. If the creators decide to continue the saga with ‘Weak Hero Class 3‘, there’s ample fuel left to ignite another storm of fists, fury, and perhaps, feelings.

A Bigger Boss & A Bloodier Game?

‘Weak Hero Season 2’ revealed that Baek-jin wasn’t the king, just a loyal soldier in a larger empire of violence. So if Class 3 becomes a reality, a natural escalation would be to pull back the curtain on the true mastermind, the adult crime syndicate leader who ran the Union from the shadows. With Baek-jin dead and the student hierarchy shattered, the top brass may seek revenge, not just to reclaim control, but to send a message.

That means more brutal enemies for Yeon Si-eun (Park Ji-hoon) and his friends, who ended season 2 forming an uneasy alliance against the bullies. The stakes would rise. The fights? Bloodier. The consequences? Deadlier.

Romance in a World of Violence?

In a surprise twist off-screen, both series creator Han Jun-hee and actor Park Ji-hoon hinted in interviews that Su-ho (played by Choi Hyun-wook) might be Yeon Si-eun’s “first love”. That revelation adds an unexpected layer to the narrative. While the franchise thrives on raw, gritty action, there’s room to explore the emotional undercurrents between the leads.

If Weak Hero Class 3 dares to balance action with a nuanced portrayal of male friendship, love, or unspoken tension, it could evolve beyond a typical revenge drama. Still, too much romance might risk alienating fans who come for the punches, not pining.

The Su-ho Revenge Arc?

Let’s not forget the pivotal cliffhanger: Su-ho waking from his coma. What if season 3 revolves around his thirst for vengeance? Imagine a darker Su-ho, bent on punishing those responsible for his near-death, dragging Si-eun along for the ride. Their once-solid friendship could crack under the pressure of differing moral compasses.

Would Si-eun let his sharp mind be used as a weapon for revenge? Or would he try to pull Su-ho back from the brink? It’s a tantalizing arc, one that puts brotherhood, ethics, and survival at odds.

Or… A Power Vacuum & New Rulers?

With the Union dismantled, a power vacuum looms. What if rival schools or former underlings scramble to take control? Si-eun, Su-ho, and their gang might be forced into new alliances or war with former friends. A battle royale for street dominance could unfold, with shifting loyalties and fresh betrayals.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, Weak Hero Class 3 has endless potential if done right. Whether it leans into emotional arcs, raises the action bar, or introduces smarter villains, the key will be to evolve without diluting the show’s identity.

And if the creators really want to surprise fans? Throw in a moral dilemma bigger than any punch.
