It’s often compared to Weak Hero—and honestly, that makes sense. School violence dramas tend to echo each other, and since both shows aired within a month of each other, the similarities are inevitable. You’ll catch those familiar beats: underdog fights, emotional triggers, and the messy weight of teenage rage.

Sieun didn’t start out wanting to fight. He was pushed past his limit—fighting to protect his friends, fighting for Suho. He’s not athletic or trained; he fights with instinct and desperation, using whatever’s around. And Suho only fought to pull Sieun back from the edge. They were both doing it for each other. You could see that everything they did was rooted in loyalty, not aggression.

But One: High School Heroes gives us something different. Euigyeom doesn’t fight because he wants to—he fights because something deeply personal is taken from him. And when he finally snaps, it’s not chaotic or desperate. It’s cold. Calculated. Unapologetic. He fights like he’s always known how, with control that’s honestly unsettling. There's a satisfaction in how he delivers every blow—like he’s not just defending himself but making a statement. He levels up with each fight, and the fear he inspires isn’t because of some reputation—it’s because people see what he’s capable of.

Yungi, his partner-in-crime, is one of the biggest catalyst. He fuels Euigyeom’s fire with zero concern for consequences. Expulsion means nothing to him. He sees potential and nurtures it, almost like it’s a project. Together, they shift the entire atmosphere of the school without ever trying to dominate it.

And then there's Euigyeom’s home life—something so heavy it lingers in your chest. The family storyline takes the show into darker, more emotional territory. Especially the part with his brother, it changes everything.
