He was slapping himself to wake himself up. Also, they stole his gym clothes, so he had to work out in his regular uniform and then had to study while being sweaty as well.
What I really like about this mc is that he stands up for himself when he knows somebody is shitting on him for no reason. It isn't common amongst main characters that get bullied but it's a nice, refreshing change
Usually the MCs take one or two beatings from the bullies before they finally fight back. Si-Eun is the only one I've seen so far who made the first move.
Some facts to take in account: - The power-play these rich kids (and rich people in general) have over other people is REAL. If you guys remember watching The Glory, those bullies' kids will do whatever they want, and their parents will back them up. The bully kid in this series is rich, hence why anyone tell him nothing. - In the test, the circle marks a correct answer and the / marks a wrong answer. Until that part of the exam, Sieun only had one wronf answer. He turned wild for ONE wrong answer. - The second season is on work so I hope you guys enjoyed watching the series so we can see the reaction of the second season in the future. I doubt you guys are going to read this, but thanks for giving this series an opportunity. It's currently one of my favorites kdrama ever and Park Jihoon (Sieun) acting is phenomenal.
Them saying Sieun probably has a dark past 😭 no this is just Yeon Sieun as he is. A genius, antisocial, more parental issues than antone else, and needs a ton of therapy bc of it
@@Aloysius_OHare Yeah the first season is the past. There are some big differences but this still isn't the main part of the webtoon. That's going to be season 2.
19:05 sieun does have a lot of anger, but this scene was to wake himself up. he’s so strict with himself that studying consumes his life to the point where he’d beat someone that viciously for screwing with his work, but he is still a model student. hitting someone in the middle of a test would probably mean suspension or even expulsion because that other bully seems rich and therefore influential in their school. and if you’re a rich kid in south korea? you’re practically like a god to your teachers. the power dynamic between teachers, their students and parents of students is so wild and has had serious, grave effects on teachers. so it isn’t in his character to fight then and there nor attack bumseok specifically, you’ll get why it’s not part of his character to go after bumseok the more you get to know sieun. and earlier the bullies threw his P.E clothes into the bathroom bin, so that’s what they took and why he was running in his school uniform.
Si-Eun has to be one of the most interesting kdrama characters I've ever seen. For once, the MC isn't a goofy guy who takes a beating or two before finally fighting back.
In Korea, they circle the answers they got right and X or put a line through the ones they got wrong. Si-eun started wildin' because he got that one question wrong (and who knows more if he kept checking his answers). It's that serious because he is smart, and all A's type student, and he takes making it into a good college (or just college in general) seriously (which was hinted at in the scene where he got choked out and the bully whispered about Si-eun better play it cool to the teacher so he can still get into college).
So, fun fact, this season of the live action is actually a mix of the MCs backstory, and the present day events of the story. The setting, the characters, and the general story of this season is all roughly from the MCs backstory in the Webtoon. The major difference, and the thing they took from the present day events of the story, is that the MC is actually a capable fighter already. In the Webtoon, the MC actually doesn't know how to fight until right at the end of his backstory. So them having made the decision to not only give you guys the backstory early while still keeping the fighting element of the present day of the story is super interesting to me from a writing standpoint. Because the MC pretty much going "fuck it" and deciding to use his smarts as a way to fight back against the bullies in his life is a pretty major character event that technically doesn't happen in this story now, or if it does it either won't be done the same, or won't have the same impact. It's an interesting decision. Not a bad one, just interesting.
@@HAMMOS75 It's not confusing at all. The only thing slightly confusing about this one would be that they made the decision to make it so the MC is a fighter when in the original backstory arc he actually wasn't, and it's the events at the end of the backstory arc that motivated him to become a fighter in the first place. Even then, that's not really confusing cuz there's multiple logical explanations for it. It's a surprising decision, but not a harmful one.
in Korean, "I'm going to kill you," is used very frequently just like "i'll slap the shyt out you" in America. Similar usages. And also, the correct translation would be "you'll die," not "I'm going to kill you"
i started talking about this show in the comments section a few months back and im so happy theyre watching it!! so excited for the rest of the episodes!!
Are y’all okay y’all seem a bit down at the start just wanted to let y’all know thank you for not only keeping us going while watching your content but the fact that you always come thru with something new. Hope everything alright keep the grind up 🔥❤️
From what i understand, MC isn't really secretly strong nor a secret martial artist. He fights and often wins by using some sort of scientific technique-like with the book, a non-fighter's hand would hurt if it's used to punch and there aren't conventional weapons available so he cleverly uses a book to amplify power without hurting himself. It kinda teaches you how to fight back against a stronger opponent, maybe you can't win but you can still inflict some damage and make them hurt so it won't be fun for them.
they took the black & white track attire from his backpack. if you recall, the scene prior is someone dumping it in the trashcan of the bathroom stalls, then it's him searching for something in his bag in the classroom. that's why they look at him and ask if he lost something, and also why he's the only one doing track in his regular uniform. So glad y'all are reacting to this it's one of my all time fav dramas. The editing and storytelling is interesting so a lot of attention is to be payed to detail. I hope y'all dig it as much as I did!!
They didn't take anything of importance out of his backpack, it was just his gym uniform. That's why he was the only one running with a white t-shirt while the others were in black. Also, the questions he circled are the ones he got right and the one he cut with the line is the one he got wrong (which happened because that's when the drug started to kick in). He's a straight A student, so for him to get a question wrong because of somebody else really pissed him off.
This is what we all think we want to be - taking out our anger on our bullies, but then you see the reality of it, and it's ugly and everybody hates us because how are you going to get along now. Defending yourself or someone is one thing, attacking some is another.
Mostly in schools in Asia, teachers doesn't stay in classrooms. Their usually stays in the faculty room during breaks and teachers are only inaide the classroom during class hours when they teaches.
There were two things with the prequel adaptation I didn't like, one being his hair color which plays into his later moniker and another that becomes an entire plot point in later arcs. Even if the plot point trigger isn't in the adaptation, I'll wait until the series is done before saying it.
Nah like, I understand the hair colors tho. And anyways, his nickname later also has to do with his fight style, so the hair don't matter much. But what's the second one u talking about?
@@YiXiaoNaiHe_Probably the location of “the incident” since, in the manhwa, that led to one of his phobias. That phobia was later used against him by one of the big shots, so the MC was forced to overcome that in order to win. It was a major character growth moment that depended on that specific location in order to work. I hope you understand what I am trying to say because I am being intentionally vague so I don’t spoil anything major.
WOOOAH! been waiting for this 😳 hope you enjoy watching the impressive story line and characters, epsecially how jihoon godly portrayed si-eun! you both are hell in a ride!
He was slapping himself because he needed to wake himself up from the drug. And he only got ONE ANSWER wrong on the test that made him react like that since he takes school serious
Just went to watch the episode and I noticed the reason he snapped and went ham was cuz he was getting all his answers wrong, he realized that they drugged him so he would get his shxt wrong...Idk why when I was watching the reaction my dumb ah thought they were doing bingo instead of going over the test sheets 😅
@Jing_Ling_Uncles 🤣🤣I noticed, dude said I'm not checking another one, this was an easy 100% ...when he looked at glasses boy and he almost pissed himself 🤣 fire scene
Please continue watching it! It's a hype kdrama i just finished all episodes today. No regrets. And the very exciting thing is they will have season 2 this year yaaaay!!! 🎉
The manhwa has 3 amazing season & hopefully same goes to the drama. The actors did a phenomenal acting too & they choreographed the fighting scenes so good.
I was just watching your reactions to Bloodhounds yesterday and everybody was saying you should react to Weak Hero Class 1 and here we are! Thank u guys, I know you'll love this😩🙏🏾
This the type of demon time energy I CRAVE
Roshi you don't know bro it's gets a lot worst that beating might be the least brutal one in the manhwa
You guys should check out sweet home to get ready for season 2
they already saw s1
@@alexpina7955
Yeah, yo the manhwa was CRAZY, I know y’all gon like this show if they do it justice.
I read the manhwa of this but Damm I liked the Live action more than mannhwa
finally giving Roshi and Sheera the character they want
It's more of roshi than sheera. The mc is the literal embodiment of roshi justice 😂😂😂
He was slapping himself to wake himself up. Also, they stole his gym clothes, so he had to work out in his regular uniform and then had to study while being sweaty as well.
What I really like about this mc is that he stands up for himself when he knows somebody is shitting on him for no reason. It isn't common amongst main characters that get bullied but it's a nice, refreshing change
not to mind, at least a smart MC now who doesn't just let his feelings overcome 😂
Usually the MCs take one or two beatings from the bullies before they finally fight back. Si-Eun is the only one I've seen so far who made the first move.
@@LoneCommentWanderer I mean they made the first move several times before he snapped on them
@@adarshkumarsingh8998 Yeah, but they didn't get to fight. They were just provocations and threats.
@@LoneCommentWanderer They choked him tf out
Park Jihoon has the most expressive eyes I've ever seen and he managed to portray Sieun's emotions beautifully behind that blank face UGGHH

Good explanation. Just one minor correction. His name is Park Jihoon.
Well in his defense, they drugged him so him turning "wild" was justified.
Oh my God! Are they really making a second season????
Park Jihoon? Ain’t he the K-pop idol?
@@Jing_Ling_Uncles yup debuted on wannaone now solo and actor
Them saying Sieun probably has a dark past 😭 no this is just Yeon Sieun as he is. A genius, antisocial, more parental issues than antone else, and needs a ton of therapy bc of it
Seriously? Damn. So bro made himself a genius and a dangerous kid.
Really? To me He's not autistic he's just unhinged. Judging from 3 episodes not the full series
Theres a comic, he is the way he is because of his dark past. His old friend had MUCH to do with what he knows
@@Aloysius_OHare THIS SHOW IS HIS PAST
@@Aloysius_OHare Yeah the first season is the past. There are some big differences but this still isn't the main part of the webtoon. That's going to be season 2.
he was slapping himself to stay awake/in control. also the slap was real! the actor really did it everyone's reactions were real too lmao

the manhwa ended a bit ago, it was beautiful, hope you enjoy this!
Yea the ending was pretty good even though it felt like it ended to soon
This is from that old ass manhwa? Damn
I’ve been avoiding reading it since the end was coming lol
I didn't know it already ended
it ended already?!
Si-Eun has to be one of the most interesting kdrama characters I've ever seen. For once, the MC isn't a goofy guy who takes a beating or two before finally fighting back.
I mean most K-drama mc's are poor, shy and weak while the bully is always the kid with rich parents

" why is the teacher never there " well you see in the ancient art of bullying, a lack of authority figures is usually necessary lol
I love park jihoon so much, he’s so talented & such an amazing actor. Weak hero will always be my favourite show !

second season gonna be filmed in the first half of the next year, im glad you guys are liking this much!!!
PARK JIHOON & HIS AWARD WINNING ROLE. so excited yall are watching this
Yoon Si eun prettiest yet most psychotic eyes in kdrama history 😂💓
in Korean, "I'm going to kill you," is used very frequently just like "i'll slap the shyt out you" in America. Similar usages.
And also, the correct translation would be "you'll die," not "I'm going to kill you"
Yessssss! I am soooo happy y'all are watching this finally! This kdrama is SO good, you are gonna love every second of this!! Its worth all the hype!
Mans used the same move like John wick did with the book back in part 3, that's crazy....
this is very good, this
Manhwa is awesome. The prota is the type that Roshi loves. and it's over, whoever wants to read it, I recommend it
Dong eun and Sieun are brutal
NO WAY YHIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE K-DRAMA THANK UOU FOR THIS!!!!
Oh. My. God. Didn't expect you to react to this, EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT YOU DID OMGGG,NITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
when he circles the answers that means he got it right. He got one wrong which was the one he crossed out.
i started talking about this show in the comments section a few months back and im so happy theyre watching it!! so excited for the rest of the episodes!!
Are y’all okay y’all seem a bit down at the start just wanted to let y’all know thank you for not only keeping us going while watching your content but the fact that you always come thru with something new. Hope everything alright keep the grind up 🔥❤️
Roshi and Sheera watching a K-Drama
Lupa: Imma head out
Too bad wish lupa was there especially for this one, I still have hope he'll join them for moving if they watch it
LMAOOOOOOO
i kinda want lupa to watch this with them tho
You seem to like repeating comments you said the same thing in the other show

Cool tactic but realistically u gotta ur skills to it's full potential in case something more severe happens

Tbh I wouldn’t watch anything without the three of y’all. Because luppa is my spirit animal and I love him but I want to watch this😭
ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!! SO HYPED, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
the way i'm so excited about them reacting to this, this show is amazing

That guy was more friendly than the rest but he doesn't understand the MC struggles as much as he went overboard and was gonna curb stomp the guy.
IM ALMOST CRYING TEARS OF JOY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOO LONG 😭😭😭
OMG I didn't expect you guys do this react . Thanks..and next one should be 'Moving'.
Didn’t even know this got made into a live action!!!! Yal are gonna LOVE this!
I LOVED THIS SHOW!! Time to relive it with y’all
I LOVE THIS SHOW. Y‘all always react to the best stuff out there
Just found this video in my recommendations and BRO THAT GOT TO BE THE INTRO OF THE DECADE
Darn this really should have been a trio reaction
If this ends up anything like the manwha, y’all are in form some epic demon timing moments.
Fvk this series is trash fxck you
Why did I literally gasp when I saw the title lmaoo. This is such a unique show. Love love love the MC ❤
sieun is weak physically, but hes a genius. i like him bcs eventho hes not the strongest he still can fight with a cheaty way😂 (using weapon)
When people say that fighting in the streets is not good, it's because people like him exist. And they are generally more aggressive and emotional.
These people use weapons and drugs… he is more than justified 😂😂😂
the scene before the gym scene they threw his gym clothes in the the bathroom trash, thats what that was
I'm so excited to be watching it with you guys ...🎉🎉
Seeing him act here then watching that romance show he's in is just a complete 180. Phenomenal actor that he is
You guys were wondering what happened to his bag, the bullies took his PE fit and throw it in the trash...they showed it for a second
Yay!!! I’m so happy you guys are reacting to this show! It’s my favorite! ❤
