Part of the success of this drama will have to be the on and off-screen chemistry between the cast. Here's a look at how well they mesh together while commenting on the first two episodes! The main cast of this series provided an in-depth analysis of what they were thinking, what the scenes made them feel, as well as some other insight while filming as we got a glimpse of how well these three worked together!

Ex-Produce 101 and Wanna One's Park Ji Hoon does it again with superb acting in his new fall drama Weak Hero Class 1 ! The eight-episode webtoon-based series surprised many with themes of school bullying and child abandonment violently displayed on the screen as the drama is rated 19+. Park Ji Hoon commands the camera with his superb acting skills as a depressed high school student that just wants to finish high school and move on with his life. We give you three reasons why Park Ji Hoon's acting is worth watching! 1. Dark and menacing demeanor What sets this role from other past roles that he's done is the dark and menacing demeanor Yeon Shi Eun (his character) displays throughout the series. His "don't mess with me" look he gives to fellow his classmate and class bully, Jeon Young Bin ( Kim Su Gyeom Juvenile Justice 2021), is authentic! The anger we feel while watching this drama is unreal! We can really relate to what Ji Hoon's character is feeling! Every scene is a buildup of angst and anxiety until there is a fight. The fighting scenes had us cheering for the "good guys" as they take on the local thugs hired by Young Bin. 2. When can I graduate? We've all been there! Some of us had a great time in high school, others not so much. Ji Hoon's character, Shi Eun, is the epitome of the latter. Constantly getting bullied with no friends and only focusing on studying, he can't wait to get out of high school! Park Ji Hoon's deliverance of his disgust for his fellow classmates and the situation at school can only be elevated by the fact that his father is constantly away for work and has no idea his son is emotionally distressed. 3. Amazing supporting cast Although Park Ji Hoon's acting is superb, we can't discount the fact that the support roles in this drama are equally impressive. Many of the scenes that Ji Hoon's character actually show emotion when he is provoked by those around him. One of the scenes is when Shi Eun is getting bullied by a local gangster, Jeon Seok Dae ( Shin Seung Ho Alchemy of Souls 2022), but Seok Dae shows compassion stating, "This is just business." while controlling his emotions during the fight, makes us, the audience, really feel bad for his situation. He is being paid to beat up another kid unfairly, so his conscious is eating away at him since he takes pride in being a fighter. So what do you think about Park Ji Hoon's acting? Are you impressed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Award-winning actor Choi Woo Sik displays his versatility in playing a confused serial killer in Netflix's new black comedy crime/thriller A Killer Paradox ! We break down all the details on why we think he is in a league of his own when it comes to attention to emotional detail! Spoilers! Plagued by the victims he killed, Lee Tang ( Choi Woo Sik Train to Busan 2016) struggles with his conscious concerning whether he should turn himself in. But the very thought scares him. But blackmailing him isn't the right answer either. Take a look at what he does to blackmailers. In a league of his own Choi Woo Sik displays a unique combination of victim and predator in his latest role as Lee Tang, a typical college guy who likes working out and talking about girls. Little did he know he could attract vile people who deserved to die from their previous crimes. Throughout the series, Lee Tang displays passive-aggressive behavior, depending on who he comes into contact with. He fights with his inner demons and moral beliefs on whether he should turn himself in, suicide, or continue with what he is doing. He even compares his newfound "skill" to a lottery ticket and considers continuing with his serial killer ways. Mind games, with himself It is an absolute pleasure to watch Lee Tang go back and forth in his thoughts, in his tiny one-room apartment playing scenarios in his head. Amusing as well as dark. The emotion shown on Choi Woo Sik's face is very clear to the audience about what he is thinking. We can actually sympathize with him as he takes us through his logic. Is Lee Tang right? A Killer Paradox makes us question whether Lee Tang's actions, killing evil human beings, is an act of justice. Since the law wasn't able to prosecute these ex-convicts properly, is it okay for Lee Tang to "take out the trash" one by one? Each episode introduces new characters that are equally, if not worse, than the previous ones that Lee Tang kills; a woman who kills her parents, a man who tries to take over his friend's family and sleeps with his wife, or two violent teenagers who stab a detective because their egos were hurt? Each episode makes the audience question their morals and that's what makes this series so much fun to watch! Let us know your thoughts on Choi Woo Sik's character and if you agree/disagree with his actions! Comment below! #akillerparadox #choiwoosik #sonsukku #leeheejun #netflixseries #mustwatchnetflix
