Opening with the most famous line in Hermann Hesse's "Demian" - "The bird fights it way out of the egg", "Weak Hero Class 1" sets the tone for the ultimate struggle that our central protagonist Yeon ShiEun (Park JiHoon) is about to undertake or in a sense, is right in the middle of.
Even before this prologue, comes a scene bathed in a cautious yellow light. The action begins in medias res and we're thrust into a classroom discussing answers to an exam, interrupted by an unassuming young boy whose apparent last straw is the question he got wrong. He gets up with a predetermined aim and walks over to a student at the back, grabbing a book on the way, and punches him with the same. The scene cuts to an ordinary dawn 13 days ago, and thus begins the grand odyssey that births our eponymous weak hero.
This is Kpopmap's "Character Sketch" and today, we're discussing the destruction and rebirth of Yeon ShiEun. Earlier this month, Kpopmap opened a poll, asking readers to vote for the iconic K-Drama character they would like to see an in-depth analysis of. Yeon ShiEun, one of the most brilliant affecting characters in recent times, played by the incredible Park JiHoon in the webtoon-based K-Drama "Weak Hero Class 1", emerged victorious with 1,575,052 votes, making up for 52.2% of the total votes cast. So, without any further ado, let's get analyzing!
Note: This article is based exclusively on the portrayal of Yeon ShiEun in the K-Drama "Weak Hero Class 1". It will not take into account the complete scope of the character in the original webtoon.
