Not just your average revenge drama, Itaewon Class has a super diverse set of characters and manages to do each. one. of. them. justice while also delivering a properly satisfying ending. Tackles racism, transphobia & corporate greed among other things and idk this is defo my most favorite Park Seo Joon drama yet. FOR REAL. A socially inept character, autistic-coded, who’s the cutest cinnabon ever? I’m in LOVE. Oh, and Kim Da Mi?? Ahh-mazing. Gotta love how the classic villain types still managed to surprise AND we also got the real grey-shaded ones. Everyone reaped what they sowed and this is one drama I 10/10 would recommend.

A well written drama about life. It beautifully portrayed difficulties in life, and never giving up on your dreams. It's a 8/10 from me...

Fair story but most of the characters have at least 50% sociopath traits in them (except for Hyun-yi)

The ultime search of sweetness in the bitterness that is life whilst providing perspective on the beauty of ordinary days.

Youth, ambition, loss, bullying, racism, discrimination, friendship, hardship, love triangles. How seemingly small decisions can change your life forever.

Sidenote:
Rooftops are essential for ultimate happiness.

This is a must watch. The diversity of the characters is a much need breath of fresh air. Hopefully this is the start of something bigger!

Locking forward to this. 2020 Dramas We are ready :grinning::ok_hand:

The first few episodes were good. Then, it got very dull, repetitive and predictable. Slow, boring and so stuffed with filler. It would have been better as a 10, maybe 12 episode show.

This is basically a modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, with a few twists.

Also, Soo Ah deserved so much better.

If you want/like neuroatypical characters *It's Okay Not to be Okay* is a much better choice. If you like evil villains who can hold a grudge, *Crash Landing on You* is awesome. If you enjoy good romance *CLoY, While you Were Sleeping* and period drama *Love in the Moonlight/Moonlight Drawn by Clouds* are infinitely superior and all have great chemistry between the leads. If you love Park Seo Jun, I'd recommend *What's Wrong with Secretary Kim* a cute romantic comedy.

The show started so well, with an interesting plot and interesting characters, but after first half of the show the things start to become slowly, the romance substitued the main plot and the repetition start to show off. Besides all of that it's a good trama, and deservers merity for treat themes like racism and transphobia.

Can this be even more complete? Great characters with great plot and sub-plots. Always having the feels in most episodes. This is actually one of the best Korean Series i have seen. And don´t get me talking about the awesome soundtrack.

This TV Show was **AWESOME.**

This Korean series is just excellent, on all points.

Whether it is the shots, the music, the duration of a discussion to make us feel a specific emotion and immerse ourselves inside the scene, the themes addressed ([spoiler] This is the first time that I see a series that introduces the LGBT theme as well and naturally [/spoiler]).

Everything was so natural and so well developed, until the very end the series was excellent.

It taught me a lot about life, its meaning, the love of a father, of his family, love for the one we love, the sense of friendship, the image we likewise, revenge, and the importance of our own principles.

I come away with a lot of motivation for my future projects, which is why, for me, this series is excellent, since not only did I have a great time watching each episode with such emotions and I come away growing up.

Thanks, IC!

it's understandable why Saeroyi ends up with who he does but they really rushed the ending in the last four episodes so we never got to fully understand and see their relationship develop :/

One of the most amazing stories Great cast and teaches good moral values 10/10 for character development just don’t think of this as a sweet romantic story it totally has a great plot and storyline and would love to see this new actor Kim da min
The age gap between the main characters was not a good idea but it just depends on the taste of the viewer it’s just not my thing
Romance was totally good if don’t mind that , there are not much of romantic scene to start with

the main character's outfit are so nice

Guys am I the only one who think that this drama remind me in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo?

This series is really cool and has a great and involving history, episode 4 and you already care and root for the characters as well as hating the villains, makes me sad that korean dramas usually don't have more than one season, cause I can see myself going back to this for many seasons.

I read a while ago some people disliked the end and even the Kim Da Mi performance. I can say that both the end and her performance are superb.
Lovely series.

This turned out to be my favorite korean series. It gets people in different ways but for me it was just perfect.
