As a high school student, Jung Woo isn’t exactly at the top of his class's social hierarchy. In fact, as one who is bullied daily, Jung Woo could easily be considered one of the lowest, most unlucky students in his entire school. Struggling every day just to get by, Jung Woo does everything he can to hang on long enough to graduate. But when Jae Seong and his cronies decide to hold a fighting tournament among the school’s weakest students, Jung Woo finds himself caught up in the school’s biggest, most talked-about event of the year. Determined not to lose, Jung Woo heads to the gym to train, but it isn’t until he meets the school’s new transfer student, Min Ah, that he finds the inspiration he needs to truly fight back.

Short But Packs a Punch
This was very hilarious in certain scenes, especially the sister's miscomprehensions. ??? ☺️I was surprised at how violent some teachers are. Smacking children's heads is not allowed in our country, especially by staff. I guess I'm not surprised that the children are allowed to bully when the teachers act that way. ??♀️????
The youth all played their parts well. The parents were decent though unaware. The guys in the gym were meant for comic relief, because bullying can be a heavy topic. ??? ????
This tackled a serious issue in schools but in an easier-to-handle comedy, rather than a dark, gritty way. ?????
I thought that not seeking revenge was a valuable lesson. His motive to win was for the female lead's sake. It also showed how important it is to overcome our fear of others. A bully is rendered powerless when victims get past their fear. ?❤️?
Decent, but lacking 'wow factor'
Strong Underdog is decent but lacks that certain 'wow factor'. Whether this is due to short episode lengths, or whether it is due to the general rushed vibe I sensed with the different storylines, I'm not sure. In regard to the story, I actually felt an emotion I don't usually feel. Being uncomfortable. However, from the second episode onwards it was nice to see the direction this was taking (anti-bullying route). I also really enjoyed the slight romance and bromance, it was a shame that these were not explored more.I actually started watching this because of the ML Kim Do Yeon (who plays the character Jae Seong). He was spectacular in this, as was the other ML and the majority of the supporting cast. It was also nice seeing a familiar face in Song Young Kyu, someone I did not expect to see (although I'm not sure why - he is in everything!). I was not familiar with the other ML and other supporting cast (I believe), however nearly everyone had amazing performances.
Nice OST and decent rating for rewatch value, although this is due to short episodes and short episode length.
All in all, I do recommend watching this. It's a good choice when you want to watch something but don't know what to watch!
