One: High School Heroes - ONE 하이스쿨 히어로즈 (2025) - Whump List

Synopsis: Suffering from his father’s oppression and his brother’s death, Kim Ui-Gyeom (picture) is a quiet top student who can’t seem to make friends at his new school. One day, after he gets involved with one bully at school, he finds himself sucked into a spiral of violence. Kang Yun-Gi, another student, notices Ui-Gyeom's fury and offers to form a team of masked High School Heroes, while hiding his true intentions.

Notes: This drama had me HOLDING MY BREATH. I didn’t skip a single second. The amount of violence in these eight episodes is astounding. Don’t expect a deep story, it’s pure suffering and adrenaline.

NB: Timestamps might be off (< 1mn) depending on where you watch the show. I do not disclose any character death on purpose. The characters are listed by chronological order of whump in each episode.

WARNING : This drama contains intense bullying, depression and self-harm depiction.
