I have so much affection for Beom-Seok that i can't get rid of my longing for him.
I already though once that Beom-Seok journey feels like a coming-of-age movie gone wrong. Because Beom-Seok 's dreams of being liked, mentally strong enough to scare bullies, and be respected are natural in boyhood, but it's in the way he doesn't love himself and therefore cannot see the beauty of life that is tragic.
He's already walking a thin line near destruction when we first see him. He might seem like a sweet and unassuming boy, but the damage inside his soul is like a bruise that won't heal.
Later he indulge himself thinking his rage and need for destruction are valid when he misunderstands Soo Ho's desire to help him as sympathy and pity. His overwhelming emotions of hero-crush/admiration and love for Soo Ho turning into hate were probably crushing him day and night and spiraling into madness at one point.
Beom-Seok makes the perfect main character for a psychological horror movie centred on obsession and self destruction.

One of the things that is extremely sad about weak hero class 1 is the endless cycle of violence and neglect towards all those kids.
It's not ok for a teenager to be so busy that he has to sleep in school, in order to not miss classes.
To tell your child that he's fine on his own, because he's so smart. It is only you justifying your neglect, It doesn't matter how smart and mature a child is, they're still a child and it's your job as a parent to take care of them.
At the end of the day, kids are not supposed to be "mature for their age".
It's not okay to adopt a child because you're thinking about your image.
Those kids get beat up in school every day and there's no adult intervening.
No child is supposed to go through physical, mental and emotional abuse at home, and again, people know about it and don't do anything.
When a child is going through bullying, you don't tell them to "man up" and hit back, you don't tell them that they are weak, you can't use violence to fix the consequences of violence.
It's neglect to move your kid from one school to another only because you're worried about your own image, you don't wanna help your child, you don't care about what they're going through, you wanna get away from the problem, you want to ignore it, because you don't wanna be affected by it.
The fact that the adults basically let those kids by themselves, ended up leading the kids to solve things the way they knew, with violence, because that's what they see every day, at home, at school, they know they can't ask for help, because that would be a burden, that would be weak, that would lead to more violence. Due to the consequences of adults' actions, we are left with kids hurting each other, nonstop.
Those kids don't need more violence, either giving or receiving, they need help, they need mental health help, they need adults that they can count on, they need people to look at them and see them for who they are.
It's really sad to see that after all that pain and trauma that the characters faced, at the end, no adult was held accountable, it was their fault in the first place and nothing happened.
The bullying is not gonna stop, and the school will still act like it is not their problem.
Sooho is in a hospital bed.
Beomseok's dad is gonna continue being an abusive, horrible person, and nothing is gonna be done.
Sieun's mom is still gonna prioritize everything other than her own child, and his dad still not gonna pay enough attention.
And the kids will keep on trying to survive within this endless cycle.
